• Key Concepts: 
  Delta link chain is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) PIN Portal Infrastructure component. It is used to synchronize data between different systems, such as SAP ERP and SAP CRM. The delta link chain is a series of links that are used to transfer data from one system to another. The data is transferred in a secure and reliable manner, ensuring that the data is up-to-date and accurate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The delta link chain can be used to transfer data from one system to another. To do this, the user must first create a link between the two systems. This link can be created using the EP-PIN Portal Infrastructure component. Once the link is created, the user can then configure the delta link chain to transfer data from one system to another. The user can also configure the delta link chain to transfer data at specific intervals or on specific dates. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the delta link chain, it is important to ensure that the data being transferred is accurate and up-to-date. This can be done by setting up a schedule for when the data should be transferred and ensuring that all systems are synchronized before the transfer takes place. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all systems are secure before transferring any sensitive data.
