Record Modification Time (&TIMSTAMP)

The date and time of when the update or refresh was made on the source.

In environments that support microsecond precision, the date and time format of this journal control field is YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.UUUUUU. Otherwise, CDC Replication limits the precision to milliseconds, and sets the microsecond component to zeroes or does not include it at all.
