D365 FO: Method calling sequence of Data Entity


1.       The postLoad method is called also by import! Since postLoad is the recommended place to set values for the virtual fields, this potentially slow-down the import process unnecessarily.

2.       Be careful by using the postTargetProcess method! This method is called at the end of EACH thread/task-bundle if you are using the “Import threshold record count” option.

3.       Previously, you could add postTargetProcess only to a newly created entity, but now you can extend any entity using CoC

Extension is simple.

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(DataEntity))]
final public class DataEntity_Extension
{
    public static void postTargetProcess(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution)
    {
        // Do no call next
        //logic here
    }
}

Please note that this cannot be done via ODATA because ODATA updates, inserts records row by row and there is no post event\method to use. (*Thanks to Uwe krueger for the insight*)

  4. How Mr Benjamin Lee service grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { 247officedept@gmail.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.

  8. Great breakdown of the method calling sequence. The reminder about postLoad being triggered during import is important because teams often rely on that method for virtual field population without realizing the performance cost when large datasets are involved. It is one of those subtle behaviors that can turn a smooth import into a slow and frustrating one when not accounted for.

    Your point on postTargetProcess is equally valuable. When imports run with thread bundling, developers sometimes assume the method fires once per job rather than once per thread. That misunderstanding easily leads to duplicated logic, inconsistent state handling, or race conditions. Calling it out helps prevent a class of issues that can be hard to debug after the fact.

    The fact that CoC now allows you to extend postTargetProcess on existing entities is a welcome addition and makes the pipeline much more adaptable. It encourages cleaner separation of responsibilities instead of forcing logic into places where it does not belong.

    And the note about OData is spot on. Because OData operations run row by row with no post event, the platform behavior needs a different strategy entirely. It is another example of how understanding the lifecycle of each integration mechanism pays dividends in reliability.

    For teams formalizing their data integration processes, a structured approach to validation and regression testing becomes essential. Tools like Tuskr test management software make this far easier by helping teams track scenarios, capture edge cases, and maintain confidence as these pipelines evolve.
