Import File Modification

Net Change import file modification may or may not have any impact on Net Change. Here are the possible cases:

Entity Search Key Modification

If the defined entity search key must be changed after the first Net Change run, the Net Change database for this entity must be recreated. This can be achieved using the Net Change Setup feature.

Adding a new column

Net Change sees the new column as a new entity field.

When “Skip column if value is empty” is NOT checked, an update is generated for every record.

When “Skip column if value is empty” is checked, an update is only generated for records that have a value for the new column.

Note that only the fields that are detected as changed are sent to the target application.

Removal of a column

If a column is removed, the data associated to this column is no longer part of the Net Change computation process and no actions/updates are sent to the zone.

Changing the column from Updatable to Non-Updatable

The next Net Change computation does not take into account the value of this column for an update operation.
