The ObjectRiver MDM transaction engine audits business objects in real time. Complete access to the audit records is available through the ObjectRiver History API, so an application can retrieve all versions of an object by date or by version ID.
Delta Records
The transaction engine
calculates a Delta (change record) every time an object
is updated. Delta records contain the system, the
application, and the user who made the change, the date
and time of the change and a detailed description of the
differences. In many cases, knowing who changed the data
is as important as the change itself.
Deltas can be played
against a business object to move it from
one version to the next, backward and forward through time. This
feature enables a number of processes that depend on
change records:
- Complies with government
regulations for auditing
- Helps operations and support
groups analyze the changes made to business
objects
- May be consumed by replication servers that update
source silos
Summary
Auditing is extremely useful for
tracking business object change control and for helping
enterprises comply with accounting regulations like
Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II.
