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*)
