Diff b/w ShortCut and reusabel Object ?

Answer Posted / raj

A shortcut is a reference (link) to an object in a shared
folder these are commonly used for sources and targets that
are to be shared between different environments / or
projects. A shortcut is created by assigning 'Shared' status
to a folder within the Repository Manager and then dragging
objects from this folder into another open folder; this
provides a single point of control / reference for the
object - multiple projects don't all have import sources and
targets into their local folders. A reusable transformaion
is usually something that is kept local to a folder examples
would be the use of a reusable sequence generator for
allocating warehouse Customer Id's which would be useful if
you were loading customer details from multiple source
systems and allocating unique ids to each new source-key.
Many mappings could use the same sequence and the sessions
would all draw from the same continuous pool of sequence
numbers generated.
