  Key Concepts: 
  Redundancy profiling is a process used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) to identify and remove redundant data from a dataset. It works by comparing the values of two or more columns in a dataset and flagging any values that are the same. This helps to reduce the amount of data stored in the system, making it easier to manage and analyze.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use redundancy profiling, you first need to select the columns you want to compare. You can then set up rules for how the comparison should be done, such as whether exact matches or partial matches should be flagged. Once the rules are set up, you can run the redundancy profiling process and it will flag any redundant values that are found.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up redundancy profiling rules, it is important to consider how much data you want to keep and how much you want to discard. For example, if you are looking for exact matches, then you may want to set a higher threshold for what is considered a match. This will help ensure that only truly redundant data is removed from the dataset.
