When using INCREMENTAL replication, a state object like the following is saved.

{
  "replication_key": "TimeStamp",
  "version": 1728958684731,
  "replication_key_value": "483677"
}

What does "version" represent? and do I need to preserve the value between runs?

IIUC it's related to

ACTIVATE_VERSION

. Which tap is generating it?

I am using

tap-mssql

and

target-parquet

although the target does not support the message:

ACTIVATE_VERSION message received but not implemented by this target

. Anyway, that clears things up a bit after reading up on

ACTIVATE_VERSION

. The

version

is just the epoch time which won't serve me any purpose. Thanks!
