A Record Change Event is used to trigger an outbound pipeline based on changes in a record (insert/modify/delete/rename) in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.

About: Record Change Event

How it works

  1. One of the fields represented in the set up internal document is changed.
  2. The pipeline is triggered executed in the context of the changed record.

To setup record change event:

  1. Create an export connection and insert the element RECORDCHANGEEVENT.
  2. On the elements line, click Edit.
  3. On the Record Change Event Setup, fill in the following fields:
Field Description
Document No. Specify the internal document number.
Node Name This field is used for filtering purpose. The node names are specified according to the internal document structure.
Table Filter Specify the table filter. This filter will be applied on the data set.
Log Insert Select this field if you want to trigger a pipeline when a new record is inserted.
Include XRec *Consider the previous record state when the current record doesn't match the filters set on the table.
Log Modify Select this field if you want to trigger a pipeline when a record is modified.
Log Delete Select this field if you want to trigger a pipeline when a record is deleted. Only the primary key information is passed in the output file.
Log Rename Select this field if you want to trigger a pipeline when a record is renamed.
Process with Job Queue Enable this field to create a separate recurring job queue entry in the Job Queue. This can be modified and it will be used to run this connection instead of the product job queue entry.
Job Queue Category This will specify the job queue category to be used when job queue entries are created for this connection for specific connections. When a job queue category code is defined messages for this connection will be run in a serial manner.

*Before the release of April 2024, the default behaviour was that XRec monitoring was enabled by default, going forward new configurations will have this setting disabled by default.
