Entity Change tracking

Posted on by CU22120935-0 252
Hi,

I have an entity with around 5 dataSources.  3 of them are read only.
I want to enable change tracking for the other 2 datasources.

Would enabling change tracking for the /entire entity/ be good, because the rest of the datasources are read only? Or would it cause issues or affect performance?
And if it's better to enable change tracking for just the two datasources, then how can I use /Enable custom query/  to achieve this?

    Hi Community member,
     
    In this scenario, you can enable change tracking for the entire entity. You can read more in the documentation: Enable change tracking for entities - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn

    Hi,
     
    I'm not sure if you can ignore the read-only data sources or not. I do assume these are only read-only for the entity, but there will be several changes in the actual tables? You can try to define that in the defaultCTQuery() method. If that doesn't work, you can consider using virtual columns instead of the read-only data sources.
