Error message when applying data package

Posted on by BillDoors 457

Hi experts,

I get this error message:

Change tracking must be enabled on database 'AxDB' before it can be enabled on table 'GENERALJOURNALENTRY

I was asked to run this:

ALTER DATABASE [<your AX database name>]

SET CHANGE_TRACKING = ON

(CHANGE_RETENTION = 6 DAYS, AUTO_CLEANUP = ON)

However, after that I'm getting this:

Any idea?

    Hi BillDoors,

    And you still can't enable CT for the entity?

    Hi Sergei, That's right. Weird, isn't it?

    Hi BillDoors,

    One or more tables in database 'AxDB' change tracking is enabled. 

    Have you tried enabling the GENERALJOURNALENTRY setting separately?

    ALTER TABLE GENERALJOURNALENTRY  
ENABLE CHANGE_TRACKING  
WITH (TRACK_COLUMNS_UPDATED = ON)

    why are you not enabling change tracking from data management - data entities?
