  • Key Concepts: 
    Data transport is a feature of the SAP EIM-DS Data Services component that allows users to move data between different systems. It enables users to transfer data from one system to another, either within the same organization or between different organizations. Data transport can be used for both structured and unstructured data.
    
    How to use it: 
    Data transport can be used to move data from one system to another. To do this, users must first define the source and target systems, as well as the type of data that needs to be moved. Once these parameters are set, users can then select the data they want to move and initiate the transfer process. The data will then be transferred from the source system to the target system.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using data transport, it is important to ensure that the source and target systems are compatible with each other. Additionally, users should ensure that the data being transferred is in a format that is supported by both systems. Finally, users should also make sure that they have sufficient storage space on both systems for the data being transferred.
