• Key Concepts: 
  Snapshot replication is a feature of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud - Data Integration (DWC-DI) that allows users to replicate data from one source to another. It is a one-time replication process that captures the data in its current state and replicates it to the target system. This process is useful for creating a backup of data or for transferring data between systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use snapshot replication, users must first create a source and target system in DWC-DI. Once the systems are connected, users can select the source and target tables they want to replicate. The user can then configure the replication settings, such as the frequency of replication and the type of data to be replicated. Finally, the user can start the replication process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using snapshot replication, it is important to ensure that the source and target systems are properly configured and that all necessary data is included in the replication process. Additionally, users should be aware that snapshot replication is a one-time process and any changes made to the source data after the replication process will not be reflected in the target system.
