  • Key Concepts: 
    Nested data is a type of data structure in which one or more data elements are organized within another data element. In SAP EIM-DS Data Services, nested data is used to represent hierarchical relationships between data elements. For example, a customer may have multiple orders, and each order may have multiple line items. This type of relationship can be represented using nested data. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In SAP EIM-DS Data Services, nested data can be used to represent hierarchical relationships between data elements. To create a nested data structure, the user must first define the parent and child elements. The parent element is the top-level element that contains all of the other elements, while the child elements are the elements that are contained within the parent element. Once the parent and child elements have been defined, they can be linked together using a relationship type. This relationship type defines how the parent and child elements are related to each other. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a nested data structure in SAP EIM-DS Data Services, it is important to ensure that all of the parent and child elements are properly linked together using a relationship type. This will ensure that the hierarchical relationships between the elements are accurately represented in the data structure. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the parent and child elements have unique names so that they can be easily identified when querying or manipulating the data.
