Transaction History Reports

A key issue in connecting systems where real-time data updates are necessary is how to pull that data without substantially degrading the performance of the whole system. A common way of getting “real-time” data is to constantly poll the database for changes by running queries against it. In a large database, running poll queries at short, regular intervals adds a substantial load — especially in a busy production database that already handles many short reads and writes.

Transaction History Reports address this by capturing data changes as they happen rather than constantly querying the database. That allows near real-time update notifications and history reporting with minimal database impact, and lets users target exactly the data they need once it is updated.
