The table index trace gathers data when an index is added to, modified, or removed from a base table by a table extension.

In AL, an index is defined by a key, which can include one or more table fields. A key in a table extension object can include either fields from the base table or fields from the table extension object itself. A key that includes base tables fields is added as an index on the base table in the SQL database. For more information, see Table Keys.

This signal is emitted when a table extension object is installed or upgraded on a tenant, and it does one of the following operations:

  • Adds an index to the base table
  • Changes an existing index on the base table, for example, it adds or removes fields
  • Removes an existing index from the base table

Index enabled

Occurs when an index was added or modified on the base table by key in a table extension object.
