BD10 and change pointers

I'm new to using BD10 to create MATMAS Idocs.
I've set up change pointers, created a change document and then run BD10. The IDOCs I expected were created just fine.
However, the BD10 transaction continues to create new IDOCs every time I run it, even though I haven't made any new changes to the materials.
Is this behavior normal?
I'd like to have the IDOCs created only once.

Hi Ed,
BD10 is for sending material, regardless of any change.
Use BD21 to process change pointers.

Frank Umans

Idoc and change pointers question.

Hi everybody,
How can I create a change pointer automatically for a change document on table JCDS? Becuase I can create change pointers for the change documents on table CDHDR, but I need to catch a technical object status change and create an idoc for the object that changed its status.
Thanks,

Hi Fernando,
I'm trying to accomplish the same thing that you were... trying to get a change pointer to be created based off the status change of a technical object (functional location or equipment).
Can you give me any detail on what you did?
Thanks,

Table maintenance generator and Change pointers

If a Ztable contains table maintenance generator, then the change pointers will not work?

Hi Saraoja,
If you want make active your change pointers for your Ztable, then in your Zfields, get into the Data element and click futher Characteristics tab, there you have one check box called Change document, Check that box and activate your data element again.Now your Zfield changes will reflect in CDHDR and CDPOS.
Thanks

Idoc serialization and change pointers automatic trigger

Hello Experts
How to trigger an Idoc automatically once the application has been saved ?
Scenario 1: Here serialization of message types are used, all the idocs in the serialization group must trigger & sent to the receiving system as per the sequence even if any field in the complete serialization group of message type changes (Note No Manual processing using reports Like RBDSER01, RBDSER02 etc..or Batch Jobs)
Scenario 2: Again Idoc has to trigger and sent to the receiving system as per the change pointer configuration once the application has been saved (Note: No manual processing like BD10, BD11 etc.. and no user exits has to invoke while saving the application).
Please let me know is this two cases can be implemented. Thank you in Advance.
Regards
Imran.

When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers

When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers ,certain data is getting earsed in CRM
paricularly the last name and first name of BUT000
Do you have any idea why this could be happening
Thanks in advance

Hi Kittu,
Change pointers. Change pointers are R/3 objects that mark changes to SAP master data. Change pointers are managed by mechanisms in a Shared Master Data (SMD) tool and are based on Change Document (CD) objects. CD objects record the changes occurring to master data at a field level. These changes are stored in tables CDHDR (header table) and CDPOS (detail table). ALE configuration provides a link between CD objects and change pointers. Internal mechanisms update tables BDCP and BDCPS, which host the change pointers. While CD objects are application-data-specific, the processing status of change pointers is message-type-specific. Also, the ALE change pointers are activated first at a general level and then at the message-type level.
use this links kittu.

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.
Cheers,
Shreya

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

Change pointers and Idoc creation

Hello,
I would like to create change pointers for any changes regarding one of our customer infotypes: 9002 (hrp9002)
I was able to do that, however, I'm struggeling with the details.
The problem is that I do not want to send any data related to infotype 9002. I just need this change pointer to trigger idoc creation for the related objects.
Example: Let's assume that infotype 9002 gets created for position S 40001234. Once a night a customer report is executed via a job which reads all unprocessed change pointers (including the one mentioned above) and sends the corresponding object. In this case, an Idoc for the holder of position 40001234 should be created WITHOUT data for infotype 9002.
The message type is HRMD_A.
What do I need to do?
Thank you for your input.

Hi,
For Info type 9002 we need to implement Badi HRALE00CHANGE_PTRS using below code.
   LOOP AT t_changed_objects INTO   wa_changed_objects .
    CASE wa_changed_objects-infty.
      WHEN '9002'.
        wa_cp_data-tabname = 'HROBJINFTY'.
        wa_changed_objects-plvar = '01' .
        wa_cp_data-tabkey = wa_changed_objects .
        wa_cp_data-cdchgid = 'U'.
* wa_cp_data-CDOBJCL = 'HRMD_A'.
        APPEND wa_cp_data TO t_cp_data1 .
    ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
IF t_cp_data1 IS NOT INITIAL .
    CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_DIRECT'
      EXPORTING
        message_type          = 'HRMD_A'
      TABLES
        t_cp_data             = t_cp_data1
      EXCEPTIONS
        number_range_problems = 1
        OTHERS                = 2.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
This code will create entry in BDCP2 table.
After thsi populating segemnet you need to code for below exit as .
EXIT_SAPLRHAL_003
   IF PNNNN_NAME = 'P9002' .
*FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_plog> TYPE ANY.   "Field Symbol for dynamic filling of data based on the structure
*Clearing the SUBRC
CLEAR SUBRC.
* fill workarea for infotype with infotype-data
ASSIGN pnnnn_data TO <FS_plog> CASTING TYPE P9002.
LS_9002 = <FS_plog>.
* move fields
MOVE-CORRESPONDING LS_9002 TO LS_p9002.
* fill IDoc-data with workarea for segmenttype
ASSIGN sdata_data TO <FS_plog> CASTING TYPE Z1P9002.
<FS_plog> = LS_P9002.
CONVERTED = ZCDP_IF_CONSTANTS_DTIRIS=>GC_CROSS .
ENDIF.
It will work fine.
Thanks

Regd. change pointers and notifications

Hi,
The question might sound a little too broad.
But bear with me...Just give me a brief overview,
of how do I go about using change pointers....
Just correct me if I am wrong.
We create a change document object in the system, or use an existing one. About pointers I am not sure.
Then, through SPRO and ALE we activate the change pointer for some message type. then....??

Hi,
I haven't done this in a while, so please check my answer!
1) You activate change pointers in general in one transaction (I think it was BD61, but I'm not sure)
2) Then you activate them for certain master data (i. e. material, customer, ...) in another transaction which I don't recall atm.
3) Every time one of those master data objects is changed, the system generates a "change pointer", which you can basically just think of as an entry in a transparent table, which includes the type and key of your master data object (such as e. g. the material number).
4) You plan a background job which will go through those change pointers and which will generate a master IDoc (e. g. MATMASxx) for this data object. The change pointers are then reset (i. e. every item will only be sent once).
5) Depending on your ALE customization this master IDoc will be sent to a remote system.
You can refine this scenario using quite a bunch of different techniques. One of them is filtering (e. g. only materials with a certain material group, or based on classification etc.). Other options are reducing the Master IDoc, e. g. sending only relevant data instead of the whole master IDoc. There are even a few customer exits, if that doesn't suffice.
Hope that helps (please reward me if it does)!
Regards, Joerg

Change pointers and RFC

Hi All,
Is it possible to implement change pointers without creating idocs, but with only RFC's.
Actaully i am goign through aproject document which says the interfaces are implemented using change pointers and BADI's.I was in a understandign that there would be idocs created to communicate the master data changes to other systems.
But one of the person who involved in the interface development said that there are no idocs related involved related to the interfaces, its all RFC's enabled.
Can anyone please let me know if change pointers can also be implemented using RFC.
Thanks in advcane.

Hi,
this is described sufficiently in SAPHELP - in a nutshell:
Changepointers - as the name says - point at changes (change documents). Therefore the creation is together with change documents (at the end of FM CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE.
Chane pointers are created for ALE message types (tcode WE81). This does not mean, that any ALE message has to follow - there might be another subsequent action.
Writing of CP must be enabled with BD50. With BD52 the tables/fields are customized. Precondition is, that the data element of the table field is enabled for change documents and that change documents are created. BADI
BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE allows further refinement (or any other action triggerd by the change). Note that both - change documents and CP - are created in update task - so you have to activate update debugging to see it in debug.
Storage of CP is in table BDCP2 (since release 7.00 former releases use BDCP and BDCPS). Read pointers with FM CHANGE_POINTERS_READ and set them to processed with CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE. If more than aprox. 1 Mio. pointers are read an overflow may occur - use CHANGE_POINTERS_READ_MODE_SET to set an appropriate block size and CHANGE_POINTERS_READ_INFO_GET to stirr the further processing. All FM are documented sufficiently.
Have fun!

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,

BD10 and BD21 - Idoc custom segment - Error in BD21 but no error in BD10

Hi All,
I have a custom segment 'ZXXXXX' added to MATMAS05 idoc type.
When I use BD10 to send a material to another system I don't have any errors but when I use BD21 Change pointers I'm getting an internal error.
Is there something I need to add so that it works both for BD10 and BD21 without any errors?
Please help.
Meghna

Do you have a filter in the distribution model for a field in your custom segment ?
If yes ... you have to assign parameter CIMTYP (changing parameter) in your customer exit with the Value of your "IDoc Extensionname"
Example:
IDOCTP = MATMAS05
Extzension = ZZMATMAS
P_CIMTYP = 'ZZMATMAS'.
That´s all !
