• Key Concepts: 
  A memory datastore is a type of datastore used in SAP Data Services (EIM-DS). It is a temporary storage area that holds data in memory while it is being processed. The data is not stored permanently, but rather is held in memory until it is no longer needed. This type of datastore is useful for quickly processing large amounts of data without having to write it to disk.
  
  How to use it: 
  Memory datastores can be used in SAP Data Services by creating a new datastore and selecting the “Memory” option. Once the datastore has been created, data can be loaded into it using the Data Flow Editor. The data can then be manipulated and transformed using the various transformation objects available in Data Services. Once the data has been processed, it can be written to a permanent datastore or exported to an external system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using memory datastores, it is important to keep in mind that the data is not stored permanently and will be lost if the system crashes or if the job is stopped before completion. It is also important to ensure that enough memory is available on the system to hold the data while it is being processed.
