Overview
It has been observed that ETL bulk updates (such as updates to Entity, Product, or similar records) generate audit entries in FenX. This article clarifies whether this behavior is expected.
Question
ETL updates are executed directly against the database and are not performed through a journey workflow.
Should audit records still be created in FenX for these updates?
Answer
Yes, this is expected behavior.
Audit records will be created for ETL bulk updates even if the changes are performed outside of a journey. From a compliance and data lineage perspective, the audit system is designed to maintain a complete history of all changes made to records.
