Hi,
I have an integration that has been reading master data from NAV SQL DB, but now in NAV 2016 introducing hosting in Cloud we can't do it that way any more. So now we need to extract master data via webservices instead. In the database we could use TimeStamp to keep track of what was read, but that is not accessible in a good way from C/AL. And no, we will NOT modify all the master data tables to enable SQL TimeStamp. Our integration should not modify any standard objects. I want an easy deltadata function from within C/AL.
So, what options do we have? I have looked a little at Integration Record Table used for the CRM connector. It seem to keep track of changes, but is it practical or even possible to use that without CRM Connection. I just want to see what was updated since last transfer so we don't send all data every time.
Then I've though about Change Log of course, but it is not reliable as it only keeps track of user modifications, not changes by scheduled jobs and such.
Do you have any ideas? How do we keep track of data changes in C/AL so we only send new data in the webservice response?
