Set Use Delta Settings

The purpose of this pipeline step is to determine a date range by reading a date/time from the pipeline context and then converting it into a date range.

The most common use of this pipeline step is to determine a date range for reading data in order to only read data that has changed within the date range (such as within the last 30 days).
