Data entity export issue

Posted on by Lalit Jivnani 395

Hello All,

I have created an exact replica of Customers V3 entity and added few custom fields to it. The code and methods are kept the same. When I am trying to export the entity, I am getting less number of records being exported in Excel. I have checked the query of entity inside SQL and is giving me the correct number of records so what could be the issue with entity export ?

I debugged the entire export process and found that it is not considering all records to export. I mean the query which D365 is using to export is simply 

select * from CustomEntity and not the one found in SQL. I am not sure what could be the reason for such issue ?

Whereas if I try to export the standard entity, it is giving the correct output.


Can anyone guide where to check ?

    To add fields will not effect the quality of the export data unless any criteria is given for the export. Forexample please check if you have selected incremental push on your new entity.

    Hi Lalit,

    Why did you duplicate the standard entity instead of adding you new fields as part of a data entity extension? When you mention "exact replica", did you also copy the staging table?

    There are no criteria or ranges defined and I am trying with full push only. I have checked every area where it could have been affected but no luck in finding anything.

    Hello Andre,

    It was a need for client not use or tamper existing entity thus we created a duplicate of standard and Yes staging table was even duplicated.

    Hi Lalit,

    Did you make some progress yourself on this issue? Is the export running with a user context which has the system administrator?
