  • Key Concepts: 
    Dual names are a feature of SAP EIM-DS Data Services that allows users to assign two names to a single object. This allows for easier identification and organization of objects within the system. Dual names can be used for tables, columns, and other objects.
    
    How to use it: 
    To use dual names, users must first create a dual name object in the Data Services Designer. This object will contain two names for the same object. The first name is the primary name, which is used to identify the object in the system. The second name is an alternate name, which can be used to provide additional context or clarity when referring to the object. 
    
    Once the dual name object has been created, it can be used in Data Services jobs and transformations. When referring to the object in a job or transformation, users should use the primary name. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating dual names, it is important to choose names that are descriptive and easy to remember. This will make it easier for users to identify and work with objects in Data Services jobs and transformations. Additionally, it is important to ensure that both names are unique within the system.
