  • Key Concepts: 
    Secondary information is a type of data that is used to supplement primary data in SAP Data Services. It is typically used to provide additional context or detail to the primary data, such as customer demographics or product descriptions. Secondary information can be sourced from external sources, such as databases or web services, or from internal sources, such as SAP tables.
    
    How to Use It: 
    In SAP Data Services, secondary information can be used to enrich primary data by adding additional context or detail. This can be done by creating a secondary information object in the Data Services Designer and then mapping it to the primary data object. The secondary information object can then be used to add additional fields to the primary data object, such as customer demographics or product descriptions.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a secondary information object in SAP Data Services, it is important to ensure that the fields in the secondary information object match the fields in the primary data object. This will ensure that the data is properly mapped and that the correct information is added to the primary data object. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the source of the secondary information is reliable and up-to-date.
