Activate change pointers for Z-idocs

Hi friends,
I've created a Z-idoc for some standard SAP tables (like TCJ1T, TCJ05 etc). I've written a function module which fetches all the data from the above-mentioned tables and pass it on to the idoc. So far so good.
Now the requirement is like, I need to pass only the updated records (insert/update/delete) in these tables to the idoc. I found that there are concepts like change document and change pointers assosciated with it. Again, the fields that I need to transfer in the above tables have their change document flag set. I've also created a Z-Object through SCDO to capture the changes. (I initially tried adding the tables in the standard object PROJ regenerated the programs, but the approach didn't work). The function modules generated through SCDO, i guess, have to be called somewhere, may be in an exit (I got an info in a previous question that it is never called automatically, but has to be called explicitly). The entries for most of the tables I'm working with are created via SPRO (which links to the Table Maintainence Generator for the above tables). I found that there are no user-exits for the transactions SPRO and SM30, to call these function modules in the first place.
Change pointers refer to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS, the tables which the change document updates (as found in the function module CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE). Now, how do I track the updates on these tables, since the change pointers itself is dependent on the change documents and I couldn't find a place to incorporate the function module call that would update the change document tables?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Anil Madhavan

Hi Anil,
In SM30 you have programmable events:
Environment -> Modification -> Events
Here's the link to documentation teaching how to create change documents:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2a/fa015b493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
I'm also trying to learn how to access the needed data in these SM30 events so that I can call the function to generate the change document with the right data in SM30
Let me know if this was useful.
Bye,
Nuno

  • Activate Change pointers for TREX classification search for Business Objects

    Hey all...
    Does anyone out here has any idea on how to activate the change pointers for TREX classification search for business objects: - for me I am specifically doing it for Materials and Customers.
    Okay, let me explain the issue: -
    For TREX search, we need to schedule a background job for Delta Indexing. But Alas! Delta indexing does not capture the changes to Classification data of the business object.
    For this we activated the change documents for the particular class in the customizing. But to my surprise, change documents and change pointers for TREX are entrirely different.
    How do I know:
    Change ID of CDHDR does not correspond to Change pointer in table COM_SE_CPOINTER. Now by activating the change documents I am getting entry in CDHDR and CDPOS but the mentioned change pointer table still does not get the entry.
    I searched for BTEs and I got the below: -
    Now to me the very obvious one was 4003, but it is not called while changing the classification data for materials. Ofcourse I activated the Product and the function module.
    and now I am stuck!!
    Any pointers for the Change pointers would be really appreciated??
    Please share your knowledge even if you don't know the exact answer . I am new to TREX so possibly vague conversations could provide me a hint .
    Thanks,
    Best Regards,
    Shreya

    Hi Guys,
    This issue was solved by implementing the BTE 4005 (OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00004005_E). This particular event is triggered in the update task for saving changes to business object. So In my function module (corresponding to BTE), I have explicitly called the method to write an entry in COM_SE_CPOINTER, because we just need the reference of business object for which classification data is changed.
    Please refer the below code for more clarity.
    BTE position: -
    method called in FM to write change pointer.
    Thanks anyways, for all the responses.

  • Change pointers for DELVRY03 Idoc

    Hi,
    I need to trigger DELVRY03 idoc whenever a delivery document is changed. I understand that one cud trigger a idoc on creation of delivery document using change pointers. But is it possible to use change pointers on edit of del. doc as well??
    Also i guess delivery document is transactional data, hence message control might have to be used, but I am not aware how to configure the same for delivery documents.
    If anyone could give me the steps to configure message control then it would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance

  • Reprocessing change pointers for MATMAS idoc

    Hi
    I have a situation where i executed BD21 for changes to materials but no idocs were created due to some issue with the distribution model. Now i have fixed the issue and would like to re process all the materials which were changed. Since i have already executed BD21, now no new idocs are being generated. Is there a way to reprocess the changed materials and generate the idocs again.
    Thanks
    Nag

    Hi Roger
    Thanks for your inputs. I am trying to generate idocs through the change pointers and not using output determination.
    When i executed BD21 the first time, idocs were not generated due to some config issues. But the job ended successfully saying that idocs were generated and marked all the changed material documents under change pointers (But in WE02, the idocs never showed up actually).
    Now i have fixed the issue in config and want to generate the idocs using the change pointers. Is there any way to regenerate the same idocs using BD21 or some alternative.
    Thanks

  • Activate Change Pointers for Purchase Orders

    I thought that change pointers would be active by default for purchase orders, but when I change a purchase order field that should be change pointer enabled, nothing is written in table BDCP.
    Here's what I have done:
    1) Used transaction SCDO to look at the change Documents.
    2) Identified object EINKBELEG (Purchasing Document) as the likely object.
    3) Verified that table EKKO is one of the tables in the object.
    4) Verified that the data element of the field that I am changing in the PO - ZBD2T - is change pointer enabled (it is).
    I cannot get any entry created in BDCP with these settings; change pointers are working for other documents.
    I also put a breakpoint on the sebugger for the function module EINKBELEG_WRITE_DOCUMENT in the update task, and I cannot see it being triggered, so I am wondering if I am doing the correct thing here.
    Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong?

  • Change pointers for custom message type

    Hi All,
      Please help me with questions.
    1. The requirement is to add two additional fields to CSCK table and then activate change pointers for COSMAS. My question is when I activate the change pointers for COSMAS will it send this two z fields when there is a change?
    2. I dont see a message type in BD50 for a standard IDOC Internal_order? Can I add that standard message type? How can I do this? WIll this create an IDOC when ever there is a change in data?
    Thanks.

    Hello Oscar,
    1. Which changes should be relevant for creation of COSMAS-IDoc, you have to define in BD52.
    2. You need to define INTERNAL_ORDER in WE20. In BD64 you add BAPI "InternalOrder.SaveReplica", filters can be added.

  • Change pointers in ALE/IDOCs

    Hi guys,
                Can any let me know step by procedure to implenent change pointers using IDocs including ALE settings as i am new to this concept.
            Any step by step example will be helpful. useful answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    vinay

    Change pointers is the one of the IDOC processing method in ALE.
    In this once we make the config to any of messages type , if any changes are made in sending system then IDOC will be posted directly to destination with user interation.
    Changes pointers are configured using BD50,BD51,BD53,BD61.
    Change pointers are stored in tables BDCP and BDCPS (or BDCP2 in case of high-performance setting) - like CDHDR and CDPOS for change documents (but this is not a controlling table!).
    1. Do you really need change pointers?
    You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
    You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61.
    2. Do you really need to activate change pointers for this messages type?
    If some messages types are no longer to be distributed by change pointers, you can
    deactivate change pointers for this message type.
    You can deactivate change pointers for the message type
    and reactivate them again in transaction BD50.
    For reduced message types, deactivate the change pointer with the
    Reduction tool (transaction BD53).
    Applications which write change documents will also try to write change pointers for ALE operations. These are log entries to remember all modified data records relevant for ALE.
    Most applications write change documents. These are primarily log entries in the
    tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
    Change documents remember the modified fields made to the database by an
    application. They also remember the user name and the time when the modification
    took place.
    The decision whether a field modification is relevant for a change document is
    triggered by a flag of the modified field’s data element. You can set the flag with
    SE11 by modifying the data element.
    For the purpose of distributing data via ALE to other systems, you may want to
    choose other fields, which shall be regarded relevant for triggering a distribution.
    Therefore R/3 introduced the concept of change pointers, which are nothing else
    than a second log file specially designed for writing the change pointers which are
    meant to trigger IDoc distribution via ALE.
    So the change pointers will remember the key of the document every time when a
    relevant field has changed.
    Change pointers are then evaluated by an ABAP which calls the IDoc creation, for
    every modified document found in the change pointers.
    The Change pointers are written from the routine CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE
    when saving the generated change document. So change pointers are automatically
    written when a relevant document changes.
    The following function is called from within CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE in order to write the change pointers.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
    change_document_header = cdhdr
    TABLES
    change_document_position = ins_cdpos.
    Activation of change pointer update :
    Change pointers are log entries to table BDCP which are written every time a transaction modifies certain fields. The change pointers are designed for ALE distribution and written by the function CHANGE_DOCUMENT_CLOSE.
    Change pointers are written for use with ALE. There are ABAPs like RBDMIDOC
    which can read the change pointers and trigger an IDoc for ALE distribution.
    The change pointers are mainly the same as change documents. They however can
    be set up differently, so fields which trigger change documents are not necessarily
    the same that cause change pointers to be written.
    In order to work with change pointers there are two steps to be performed
    1) Turn on change pointer update generally
    2) Decide which message types shall be included for change pointer update
    R3 allows to activate or deactivate the change pointer update. For this purpose it
    maintains a table TBDA1. The decision whether the change pointer update is active
    is done with a Function Ale_Component_Check
    This check does nothing else than to check, if this table has an entry or not. If there is an entry in TBDA1, the ALE change pointers are generally active. If this table is empty, change pointers are turned off for everybody and everything, regardless of the other settings.
    The two points read like you had the choice between turning it on generally or
    selectively. This is not the case: you always turn them on selectively. The switch to
    turn on generally is meant to activate or deactivate the whole mechanism.
    The change pointers which have not been processed yet, can be read with a function
    module.
    Call Function 'CHANGE_POINTERS_READ'
    The ABAP RBDMIDOC will process all open change pointers and distribute the
    matching IDocs.
    When you want to send out an IDoc unconditionally every time a transaction
    updates, you better use the workflow from the change documents.
    To generate the IDOCS in case of change pointers we need to use the standard report
    RBDMIDOC
    we need execute the follwing t.code
    BD61:to activate the change pointers globally
    BD50,BD52: to activate message types ,and to enable the fileds for change pointers
    Hope this link will help you regarding Change Pointer...

    Change Pointer Configuration and extraction in HRPay.
    Infotypes to be logged are in:
    V_T585A,
    V_T585B,
    & V_T585C
    Please view the table contents to understand the structure of these tables and how they are linked. These help you identify the cluster tables which store the data.
    Payroll Cluster Table – PCL4 contains the cluster table reference. (Please refer to the table structure below:
    Payroll Custer Tables
    http://www.planetsap.com/HR_ABAP_payroll.htm
    Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys into one physical record on the database.
    Data is written to a database in compressed form.
    Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
    Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
    External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
    Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
    PCL1 - Database for HR work area; (long text, etc)
    PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll); (payroll results)
    PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
    PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data (change logs, etc)
    Database Table PCL4
    The database table PCL4 contains the following data areas:
    LA change logs (long term documents)
    SA Short-Term Documents for HR Master Data
    SB Short-Term Documents for Applicant Master
    SRTFD (PC400) = trans class always A for master data (1) pernr (8) info type (4) modified date (8) modified time (8) seqnr (4)
    Please note that for the extraction of data, you have to use the date portion of the ‘SRTFD’ and not the field value AEDTM(since it is not primary key).
    Naming convention for INCLUDES when defining clusters. These INCLUDES will define the work area key above and the cluster data that is returned from an IMPORT:
    RPCnxxy0
    n = 1, 2, 3 or 4 (for PCL1, PCL2, PCL3, PCL4)
    xx = cluster ID
    y = country grouping (0 for international otherwise country indicator T500L)
    Description of Cluster Data using Cluster RX as an Example
    The data description is stored in the include RPC2RX00 in accordance with the above naming conventions.
    RPC1TX00 - Long text cluster ID in table PCL1
    RPC2RUU0 - Payroll results for the US cluster ID in table PCL2
    RPC4LA00 - Change log cluster ID in table PCL4
    Importing Data (I)
    The IMPORT command causes data objects with the specified key values to be read from PCLn.
    If the import is successful, SY-SUBRC is 0; if not, it is 4.
    REPORT ZRPIMPORT.
    TABLES: PCLn.
    INCLUDE RPCnxxy0. "Cluster definition

    ENDIF.
    See sample program for long text.
    Importing data (II)
    Import data using macro RP-IMP-Cn-xy.
    Check return code SY-SUBRC. If 0, it is successful. If 4, error.
    Need include buffer management routines RPPPXM00
    REPORT ZRPIMPORT.

    RP-IMP-Cn-xy.
    *Buffer management routines
    INCLUDE RPPPXM00.
    Cluster Authorization
    Simple EXPORT/IMPORT statement does not check for cluster authorization.
    Use EXPORT/IMPORT via buffer, the buffer management routines check for cluster authorization.
    rpcbdt00 - include needed for importing from database PCL4(la) (Change log cluster ID)
    Please note that data for change pointers is stored at two levels: 1) Header – which has the key info and 2) BELEGE – which has the changed info – ie. Old value and new value.
    Check standard program RPUAUD00

  • Change Pointers for Infotypes - HR Master Data distribution

    Hi,
    I want to distribute HR infotypes Master Data to other systems...
    How do I activate Change pointers for HR infotypes?
    Do I have to use idoc HRMD_A or HRMD_B?
    Do I have to distribute thru PFAL transaction?
    Can I do that a employee change the data of an infotype send the idoc authomaticly?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    Urtzi.

    Thanks Roman,
    I've looking also for idoc HRMD_ABA. What is the diference between HRDM_ABA and HRMD_A?
    When I press SAVE in PA20 doing changes in an employee system distributes authomatically HRMD_ABA but not HRMD_A. Is it correct?
    So, if that is correct could I say the following:
    - To distribute HRDM_A we can use report RBDMIDOC scheduleing periodic JOB.
    - iDoc HRDM_ABA is distributed when saving data in standard transactions.
    Is that correct?

    Hi,
    1. Afer doing all the settings required to create change pointers (BD61, BD50, BD52), the idocs will be created when u run the report RBDMIDOC or execute transaction BD21.if any changes happen in master data
    like new vendor is created or vendor data is changed, then only change pointers will be created and on executing the aforesaid report, idocs will be generated.
    Also idocs can be generated by replicating vendor data through transaction BD14 or any other custom transaction.
    2. When you add custom segments to basic type, you have to write code in suitable user exits.
    Identify suitable user exit to populate data in custom segments and write the code in oubound side.
    Identify suitable user exit to populate the values in custom segments to database table, this code is to be written in inbound side.

  • Change pointer for Extended IDOC

    Hi guys,
    I have Extended a standard IDOC MATMAS and added few additional fields into it.
    Now i have make Change pointers enabled for this IDOC extension.
    Is it possible?
    Can some one guide me as to how can i create Change pointers for EXTENDED IDOC?
    any extra steps required?
    Sahil

    Hi,
    you can use BD52 transaction to add the extended idoc fields inorder to activite the change pointers for them.
    Please note that the fields in the extended idoc should have chnage entry in CDHDR whenever you change the field in MM02 transaction. if not change pointer will not work.
    If these fields are not marked in change entry in MM02 transaction you can use user exit while saving MM02 and then create the change document for them by coding inside those user exit.
    Hope it helps,

    Hi Suresh,
                   I didn't get your point exactly. With this report, we can only Log the Changes that has been performed on a Particular Pernr or an Infotype. Actually, if see go through my Previous Post, you will get Clear Idea. Actually, I'm looking for the Concept below:
    Actually, I'm using the Standard ALE Process for Masking Master Data fields (PERID and GBDAT) with default values from one system to another using the Message Type, HRMD_A (which will be used as a Standard Message Type for HR Personnel Administration and Organizational Management). For this, I' have used two Conversion Rules in the above Message Type. To make this ALE trigger, I have to Run the Report, RBDMIDOC. But, before trigerring the ALE for all the Employees in the System, I want to test the ALE for few Employees, whether it is working properly or not. For this, I think, I need to delete the Change Pointers for all the Employees except for the few Employees whom I want to Test. But, I don't have any idea, how to delete those Change Pointers. Please guide me some solution or provide me some document where I can find exact procedure for doing this. Guide me, If I'm going in wrong procedure.
    Thanks in advance,
    Exertive.

  • This is regarding creation of change pointers for a particular table?

    Hi to all,
    Here is my requirement,
    How to create change pointers for a given table.
    i know that change pointers record changes of master data at field level......
    here now i have to create change pointers for a given table..
    how to do this,......\
    regards,
    swami

    Configuration steps :
    BD53 -> create reduced message type (use MATMAS as your reference for material master records). Select tables
    BD52 -> specify fields to track (use fieldname KEY for new entries)
    BD50 -> activate change pointers for new reduced message type
    BD61 -> activate change ponter generally (only if not already done) Make sure if this is not already active that you deselect the default enteries in BD50 for the message types you don't care about
    The view BDCPV will now contain change pointer entries for the master data that has change or been created
    Use function modules
    CHANGE_POINTERS_READ                - read new unprocessed change pointers
    CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE - mark change pointers as processed
    Hope it helps.
