Linked registers

Use the Linked Register to maintain and publish information associated with records in a parent or Tracker Register.

Linked Registers allow additional data to be published from the same source without mapping multiple registers directly to the same input file.

Recommended practice

• Do not map multiple registers to the same input file - use Linked Registers instead.

The source file is processed once by the Tracker Register, while Linked Registers publish the required associated data.

Benefits

• Single source processing: the input file is processed only once.

• Stable record identity: the Tracker Register uses a persistent source identifier.

• Flexible publishing: Linked Registers can use different Record Identifiers and data expressions.

• Improved synchronization: linked data remains aligned with the parent register.

• Reduced duplication: avoids mapping multiple registers to the same source file.
