Do you know any other CRM where users can do this in interface?

Question

Do you know? In CRM where you can link one record with the other based on the same value of the
field (e.g. you can use Sugar for email, but email is not linked to contacts). This is possible by doing some hacking in the database. Do you know any other CRM where users can do this in interface?

Hi Amanda,
    It could be that DSO_X is a write optimized DSO. Since a Write optimised DSO does not require any activation, it is capable of loading data much faster. Once the data is in BW, you have an exact copy of the R/3 data, so you dont need the PSA and they can be deleted on a regular basis. You have a definite performance improvement in this case.
   As you said a backup is also possible if you have a DSO. Helps in the case of LIS loads, since you already have a copy of the data in BW, you would not need to perform setup activties if you need to do so minor changes.
   It could also be that different transformations are happening at each level of DSO. You would need to check for start and update routines for exactly what changes are being made. for eg. If I need to change some records, i do it in DSO_X, if i need to change these records based on the changes made in DSO_X, i change them while loading to DSO. Further changes can be done while loading to the cube.
Hope this helps,
Regards.
