• Key Concepts: 
  Replication is a process in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud - Data Integration (DWC-DI) that enables users to copy data from one source to another. It is used to synchronize data between two different systems, such as a database and a data warehouse. Replication can be used to move data from one system to another, or to keep two systems in sync with each other. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Replication can be used in SAP DWC-DI by creating a replication job. This job will define the source and target systems, as well as the data that needs to be replicated. Once the job is created, it can be scheduled to run at regular intervals, or it can be triggered manually. The replication job will then copy the data from the source system to the target system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a replication job, it is important to ensure that the source and target systems are compatible with each other. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data being replicated is up-to-date and accurate. Finally, it is important to test the replication job before scheduling it or running it manually.
