Description

Configuration in D365 was done by selecting entities.

During processing of the event that triggers CDMUtil, we notice that for every entity we receive a NullReferenceException at CDMUtil.Manifest.ManifestReader+.

This is always triggered from Changefeed.manifest.cdm.json going to 'Process Entities'.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Azure Function event that processes entities from Changefeed.manifest.cdm.json, then inspect the CDMUtil.Manifest.ManifestReader.WaitForFolderPathsToExist failure and the D365 entity-selection configuration. Done means identifying the missing value causing the NullReferenceException and confirming that entity processing completes without the exception.
