  Key Concepts: 
  Data Services repository is a component of the Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Data Services suite. It is a centralized storage location for all Data Services objects, such as jobs, data flows, and transformations. It also stores metadata about the objects, such as their version history and dependencies. The repository is used to manage and share Data Services objects across multiple projects and users.
  
  How to use it: 
  Data Services repository can be accessed through the Data Services Designer interface. To create a new repository, select the “Create Repository” option from the File menu. Once created, objects can be added to the repository by selecting the “Add to Repository” option from the File menu. Objects can also be retrieved from the repository by selecting the “Retrieve from Repository” option from the File menu.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new repository, it is important to select a secure location that is accessible to all users who need access to the repository. It is also important to ensure that all users have appropriate permissions to access and modify objects in the repository. Additionally, it is recommended that users back up their repositories regularly in order to prevent data loss in case of system failure or other unforeseen events.
