Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Adding a Timestamp to LN Standard Tables
Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)
Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.
Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.
To Create Timestamps:
-
Enter the Tables: In this session, specify the tables for which you want to define timestamps.
-
Convert and Reconfigure: Run the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session to convert the table definitions to the runtime data dictionary and reconfigure the tables.
-
Restart Session: Log off and log back on to apply the changes.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid issues with locked tables, ensure that all users have logged off before starting the reconfiguration.
