System of Record

The system of record is the system that hosts your software application written in DBL, including the file-based database where the application stores its data. This database uses the Synergy Data Management System (SDMS) on Windows and Linux or Record Management Services (RMS) on OpenVMS IA64.

The primary function of the Streaming Integration Platform on the system of record is to capture the changes that the DBL application makes to its data and record those operations in a Kafka topic referred to as the "CDC Topic."
