• Key Concepts: 
  Compare buffer is a feature of SAP Data Services that allows users to compare data from two different sources. It stores the data from both sources in a buffer and then compares the data to identify any discrepancies. The compare buffer can be used to compare data from different databases, flat files, or other sources.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the compare buffer, users must first create a Data Services job that reads data from two different sources. The job must then be configured to store the data in the compare buffer. Once the data is stored in the buffer, users can then use the Compare Data task to compare the data and identify any discrepancies.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the compare buffer, it is important to ensure that the data being compared is of the same type and format. This will ensure that any discrepancies are accurately identified. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the columns being compared have the same name and format in both sources.
