Manage entity change tracking
The change tracking functionality allows you to incrementally export data from finance and operations apps by using the Data management framework. To do this, you must first enable change tracking for entities. If change tracking is not enabled, you can only enable a full export each time.
Change tracking supports both Bring Your Own Database and non-Bring Your Own Database (non-BYOD) scenarios. Only BYOD allows tracking of deletion if the entity supports it.
To enable change tracking, you will need access to the Data management workspace. For non-BYOD scenarios, change tracking can be enabled from the data entities list page in the Data management workspace by selecting Change tracking on the entity.
Within the Data management workspace, select Configure entity export to database.
On the Entity store page, select the data to export data to.
Select Publish in the Action Pane. You can publish more than one entity to the database.
When the entity is published, select the entity.
Select Change tracking.
You can select from several options for change tracking for your environment:
- Enable primary table - Changes that are made to any fields in the primary table trigger a change in the entity. Changes that are made to fields in secondary tables don't trigger a change in the entity.
- Enable entire entity - Changes that are made to any fields in any table in the entity trigger a change in the entity.
- Enable custom query - Select a set of custom fields from any tables that must trigger a change in the entity.
