• Key Concepts: 
  Blueprint is a feature of SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) that allows users to create a data flow diagram to visualize the data transformation process. It is a graphical representation of the data flow from source to target, and it helps users to quickly identify any errors or issues in the data transformation process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the blueprint feature, users must first create a project in SAP Data Services. Then, they can add the source and target systems, as well as any other components such as transformations, lookups, and scripts. Once all of the components are added, users can then create a blueprint by clicking on the “Create Blueprint” button. This will generate a graphical representation of the data flow from source to target. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a blueprint, it is important to pay attention to the order of the components. The order of the components will determine how the data is transformed and how it is ultimately stored in the target system. Additionally, it is important to check for any errors or issues in the blueprint before running it. This can be done by clicking on each component and checking for any errors or warnings that may be displayed.
