suppression source - Details


  • Key Concepts: Suppression source is a feature of SAP Data Services that allows users to identify and remove duplicate records from a data set. It works by comparing the data in two or more sources and then removing any records that are identical. This helps to ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date.
    How to use it: To use suppression source, first select the sources you want to compare. Then, select the fields you want to compare. Finally, select the action you want to take when a duplicate record is found (e.g. delete, update, etc.). Once these steps are complete, Data Services will automatically remove any duplicate records from the data set.
    Tips & Tricks: When using suppression source, it is important to make sure that the fields you are comparing are accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that only accurate records are removed from the data set. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the sources you are comparing have the same field names and data types.
    Related Information: For more information on suppression source, please refer to SAP’s official documentation on Data Services (https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_DATA_SERVICES/4.2/en-US). Additionally, there are many online tutorials and videos available that can help users get started with using suppression source in SAP Data Services.
