Why would you create a custom table just to hold sysId of the records?
The sysId is already stored in sys_id field on your business app table record

Hi @VishakhaShi
Thanks for sharing the details. Now, what's the business need? What is the purpose of creating a table just to hold a sys_id that's already in a custom table? What's the use of the sys_id table?

Hi @VishakhaShi
As a BPC, my first question to the client would be: what is the business need for this system table, and what value does it derive? Once I have the answer, we can assess whether it's scalable or not. So, I would request clarity on this before worrying about the solution. Additionally, it's not a good practice to hold the sys_id in a separate table, as it would likely duplicate information.
