• Key Concepts: 
  CDC checkpoint is a feature of SAP Data Services that allows users to track changes in data over time. It is used to identify and capture changes in data sources, such as databases, flat files, and other sources. The checkpoint stores the current state of the data source, which can then be used to compare against future versions of the data source. This allows users to identify and capture changes in the data over time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the CDC checkpoint feature, users must first create a CDC checkpoint table in the target database. This table will store the current state of the data source. Once the table is created, users can configure the CDC checkpoint in Data Services Designer. This will enable Data Services to track changes in the data source and store them in the CDC checkpoint table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring a CDC checkpoint, it is important to ensure that all columns in the source and target databases are mapped correctly. This will ensure that all changes are captured accurately. Additionally, it is important to regularly check the CDC checkpoint table for any errors or discrepancies.
