  Key Concepts: 
  Linked datastores are a feature of SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) that allow users to link multiple data sources together. This allows users to access and manipulate data from multiple sources in a single query. Linked datastores can be used to join data from different sources, such as databases, flat files, and web services.
  
  How to use it: 
  Linked datastores can be created in the Data Services Designer. To create a linked datastore, select the “Linked Datastore” option from the “Create” menu. Then, select the data sources that you want to link together. Once the linked datastore is created, you can use it in your Data Services jobs to access and manipulate data from multiple sources.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a linked datastore, make sure that the data sources you are linking together have compatible data types and formats. This will ensure that your linked datastore works correctly and that you get accurate results from your queries.
