Change tracking is a
feature that enables incremental export of data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 for
Finance and Operations, by using Data management.
In an incremental
export, only records that have changed are exported. To enable incremental
export, you must enable change tracking on entities. If you don't enable change
tracking on an entity, you can enable only full export each time
Go to Data
management >> Data entities >> select one entity >> Options
>> Change tracking

How changes are tracked
|
Enable
primary table
|
Changes
that are made to any fields in the primary table trigger a change in entity.
Changes that are made to fields in secondary tables don't trigger a change in
entity.
|
Enable
entire entity
|
Changes
that are made to any fields in any table in the entity trigger a change in
entity.
|
Enable
Custom query
|
Select
a set of custom fields from any tables that must trigger a change in entity.
|
When adding an
entity for data export, you have the ability to choose incremental
export(called “incremental push”) or full push.
In an incremental
push, only records that have changed are exported.
In an full push, all
records will export.
In order for
incremental push to work, you do need to enable Change tracking in the Dynamics
AX database and specify an appropriate change tracking option as described
above
