Archiving Change Documents

Hi all,
I am working with the archive engine. And i am using archiving classes for archiving of change documents (CDHDR/CDPOS). I have made all the customizing that has to be done in the engine. But somehow my change documents after having written into archive file are not getting deleted from the database when the delete phase is executed. Any help would be very useful.
Thanks in Advance.
Warm Regards,

Hi mahesh,
i checked in the SARA transaction the DB table names include that table..
Scenario and problem i am facing:
I have created a archiving object to archive some data in my project.. and to archive the associated change documents i have created the archiving class... my main header table data is working properly i mean its getting archived and deleted from db also.. but unfortunately the change documents associated with them is not getting deleted after the delete phase..
And i dont know if they are getting archived as i dont know where in the archive file browser the change documents which are archived can be found.. Even if they are getting archived why are they not getting deleted???
Thanks in advance..

Can't display archive change documents for agreement (COND_B)

Hello,
I want to display archive change document for object class : COND_B (agreement) via transaction MEB3:
The archive works fine, and I can found the archive change documents form SARA.
(Archive Objetc = CHANGEDOCU
Archive info structure = SAP_CHANGEDOCU2 (is active))
But the display from the application transaction : MEB3 doesn't work.
In the DEBUG:
the Function module is called automatiquely: COND_B_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT
THEN SUBMIT RSSCD100
THEN The function module is called with the no parameter READ_CHANGEDOCU (ie with space value)
THEN the program reads only from DB
Question : HOW I oblige the program to read from the archive (READ_CHANGEDOCU = 'X') ?
I checked these SAP notes 1050935,1299903, 1308024, 1128954, 1050335
but no results.
May be I forgot some customizing ( SARA,, AOBJ )?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
As I understand, the change documents archived using the CHANGEDOCU archiving object are no longer available using the application object.
Refer to Notes 1257133 and 140255 where they mention the above point.
If you want to read change documents along with the application, then you must first archive the change documents along with the application.
In your case, for agreements, you should use object SD_AGREEM so that the change documents also gets archived along with the agreements. Refer to note 761281 to check whether the archiving class CHANGEDOCU is already defined along with object SD_AGREEM in your system.
Hope this helps,
Naveen

Archiving Change Documents - XML Archiving.

Hello Archiving experts,
I need to archive change documents of my application. There is already a change document archiving class "CHGDOCU" which I can use for this. But this is only for ADK based approach.
Basically, I want to know if there is any Archiving class available for archiving change documents in XML based archiving?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Thomas,
if you want to go with SARA, you would have to archive hundreds of objects, since change documents are (as of 4.5B, I think) no longer deleted/archived by themselves, but always with their respective objects.
You can easily check that for yourself: in transaction DB15 click on the radio-button 'Archiving Objects' --> Objects for Table --> CDCLS (you can only view the cluster, not it's components). You will get a list of all archiving objects that 'contain' change documents.
That leaves you the option to find out, to which object most of your 500 mio. change document positions belong, but my guess would be that this would be quite a lot ... so either, you are considering an overall archiving project (which is no short-term goal) or you use one of the reports that make a 'hard-cleanup' of CDCLS --> there are various notes in OSS about that topic, make sure you read them all, since the impact is not to be necglected.
As for the artice in question, you may not need it ... there are 33 hits for object CHANGEDOCU in OSS - I think you can get all the information you need there, however - if you want to use this object, please keep in mind that you are cutting the connection between the business object and the changedocu - like described in note 1325862.

Where can I see ARCHIVED Business Partner Change Documents?

Hi,
I am archiving change documents of BPs with infostructure and Content Repository so that the change documents can be displayed in Archive Explorer TX SARI.
Now I am wondering if the archived change documents could also be displayed in transaction BP.
There in the menu is the option:
- Environment
- Archived Data
When I click on this I get the error message
There is no suitable active info structure
Message no. Q6507
But I have info structure SAPCHANGEDOCU1 active (I can see also in table AIND_STR2).
When I debug the transaction u2013 Environment u2013 Archived Data I see that it is expecting archiving object CA_BUPA (Business Partner) and not the archiving object CHANGEDOCU.
Does this mean that in the menu I only can see ARCHIVED BPs and not archived BP change documents?
I the archive Explorer the only place I can see the archived BP change documents?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Ram,
Although, there is no standard functionality where you can see blocked business partners in the SAP ECC system. Please can you let me know as to why you are required to see blocked business partners in the SAP ECC system.
But if really required, you can design such a thing and that is possible as I have worked on a similar requirement some time back.

Archiving EHS document with ADK

Dear all,
I am running ECC 5.0. I am trying to archive EHS documents with ADK using the object CV_DVS. I am following the documentation from IMG, Under the step "Check Document Types and Document Statues" I create the status HI, AL and AR for the document type SBR. I ran the preprocessing step for CV_DVS and I get nothing to archive. I check the log and here is the message.
Job started
Step 001 started (Program RC1_DVSARCH_PREP, variant TEST1)
Change report bodies:
Report DW_PERFORMI XXX_US_SDS E 00002 is not archived; document for report missing in SAP database
The status you enter does not exist
The status you enter does not exist
No reports were set to the status "Archiving is Running (AL)'
Job finished.
I just wonder have anyone using CV_DVS to archive those MSDS reports and would like to know how do you configure
"check document types and document statuses"? it seems something is missing in my ECC 5.0 default configuration for the table.
Thanks.

Hi,
As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE
Success,

Reports showing Archived Sales Documents

Hi, I am working on using SARA to archive SD documents, and it seems as if Document flow and Change logs are not archived, and not possible to see in reading the archived Sales Orders from SARI/SARJ. Are there SAP standard reports which can fetch and show data from archive, or any other way to find a 'document flow' (to eg. deliverys or billing docs) and 'change log' from an archived Sales Order?
Thanks!

Hello,
The answer from Caveman is correct, the DRB - tcode ALO1 (that is the letter o not a zero) retains some of the document flow of archived data.
Do not use transaction VPAR as that archives data related to preference determination and transaction VF07 does not show document flow.
If you have implemented the PBS modules to view archived data, they retain the document flow information and you can view the data exactlly how it looked before it was archived.
Hope this helps.

Change document and triggering workflow

Hi,
There's a z-table in ERP. The requirement is to send a notification to the Java server whenever there is a change in the data content of this table.
Can anyone describe the steps to be followed.
Thank you.

Hi Pavan, Sharath,
Now that I understand the concept of change documents, I have doubts about it's utility. I mean I did not find it to be a very good feature. The reason I say that is that one has to code for everything. It becomes the developer's responsibility to get the old record and the new record and pass these to the WRITE_CHANGE_DOCUMENT function. In addition, the developer also has to pass an indicator representing what kind of change is it - insert, update, delete.
The only utility I see is when you have maintain an archive of the changes that happened in a table's content over a long period. In that case, you could refer to the CDHDR and CDPOS tables and find out what change occurred on which date.
Your comments would reinforce my understanding of the concept.
Thank you.

How to display list of TCodes with Change Documents enabled

Hi
I have 42 transaction codes (e.g. QA11, QA12, QE51N, QE01, QE02, MM01, MM02) and I want to verify if "change document" logging is enabled for the critical data elements in these transactions.
I'm aware that you can individually check "change document" setting per table via SE11 > Enter Table Name > Technical Settings > “Log Data Changes” option. Given the number of transactions (with multiple data elements) I need to check though, is there a table in SAP where the field, table, tcode and existing change document setting can be viewed?
Thanks

hi Raphael,
you can also use following two table to view the change log at data element level:
CDHDR - Change document header
CDPOS - Change document items
e.g. give the table CDHDR in SE16N enter your transactions field "TCODE", and date parameter, you can see the results.

Resubmitting the archived XML Documents?

Hi,
I just wanted to confirm whether archived XML documents can be resubmitted?
The XI message has been archived in a storage system and now its required to retrieve it in XI system.
Does XI allow this resubmitting?
Edited by: sriparna1 on Nov 16, 2009 8:11 AM

Hi Sriparna,
Synchronous messages occupy lot of space in the memory/database and hence they are not persisted by default.
If you want the synchronous messages to be persisted, then follow this blog:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417200)ID1629352550DB00149050467001567547End?blog=/pub/wlg/1629
Refer this discussion to understand the concept of persistence with respec to sync msgs.
Synchronous Messages persistence in XI
And regarding your question about "How are the successfull and erroneous synchronous messages handled while archiving",
it is very staright forward.
By default, all the succesful messages are archived by the archiving job.
The error messages are not archived.
If you want the error messages to be archived, you have to Cancel them.
After canceling, the status changes from error to cancelled. Then the archiving job will archive the cancelled messages also.

How to use change document object ?

Friends,
I am learning to use the Change Document object for one of my Z table. I have created a change doc object using SCDO. I have now written a test report in which i am issuing the SELECT statement for fetching old and new values from the Z table and passing them to the FM generated by SCDO.
I am not able to see the changes in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables. I am doubtful abt the values being passed to the FM. Here are the values i am passing:
CALL FUNCTION 'YTEST_WRITE_DOCUMENT'
EXPORTING
    objectid                      = 'YTEST'
    tcode                         = 'se38'
    utime                         = sy-uzeit
    udate                         = sy-datum
    username                      = sy-uname
PLANNED_CHANGE_NUMBER         = ' '
   OBJECT_CHANGE_INDICATOR        = 'U'
PLANNED_OR_REAL_CHANGES       = ' '
NO_CHANGE_POINTERS            = ' '
   UPD_ICDTXT_YTEST               = 'U'
    n_ztest_cle                   = wa_ztest_cle
    o_o_ztest_cle                 = o_ztest_cle
UPD_ZTEST_CLE                 = ' '
tables
    icdtxt_ytest                  = itab_cdtxt.
Is the object ID the same as the Change Document Object name ??
Please help.
Thanks,
Ram.

Well, i found a way out for the problem i was facing. I was not setting the "UPD_ZTEST_CLE " FM parameter. When i set it to 'U', the changes got reflected in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables.
Can i reward myself as i solved this by myself ???
