• Key Concepts: 
  Transformation is a process in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) that allows users to modify data from one format to another. This process can be used to convert data from one type of format to another, such as from a flat file to a relational database, or from one database type to another. It can also be used to clean up data, such as removing duplicates or correcting errors. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use transformation in SAP Information Steward, users must first define the source and target formats for the data. This can be done by selecting the appropriate source and target formats from the drop-down menus. Once the source and target formats have been selected, users can then define the transformation rules that will be used to convert the data. These rules can include things like mapping fields from one format to another, or applying functions such as filtering or sorting. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using transformation in SAP Information Steward, it is important to test the transformation rules before applying them to the data. This will ensure that the data is being converted correctly and that any errors are caught before they cause problems. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the transformation rules so that they can be easily reverted if necessary.
