Change documents for a Z table

Hi,
We have a Ztable with 4 fields, Due to some business reasons.. . We have given access to users for changing the contents of the table. Now For audit purpose Customer wants to track the changes made to the table. I came know that this can be achieved by using the change documents concept. I am little confused in using this concept. After clicking on the generate update program, system will ask us to give an include name and functiona group. After giving these two system will create include object as <change document object>_write_document. This Include inturn calls some more includes like F<K4>CDC,F<K4>CDT,F<K4>CDF,F<K4>CDV.
Here my questions are
1. Wher do we need to write our owncoding for capturing the changes?
2. is it possible to share the sample code starting from the First Include <changedocument>_Write_Document to ending.
3. Does this change document functionality will be called automoatically when we use Transaction SM30(Table maintainance) for changing the contents of the tables?
4. What is the difference between single case and Multiple case. My scenario falls into single/Multiple?
Awaiiting for all the expert responses
Thanks and Best Regards

Creating a custom change document for a standard table field

Hi
Is it possible to create a change document for a field in a standard table?
I have searched the forum and only found threads about creating change document to a custom table.
Will the creation of change documents to a standard SAP table be a modification?
Thanks.
Regards
Sowbhagya.L

Yes it will be a modification on standard table, but you can always create change document for any field by assigning it to custom change object.

Change documents for customer Z table - serious help wanted

Hi all,
I am no beginner and I don't expect any comments from beginners.
Situation: My customer wants to replace the material valuation transactions MRN1 MRN2 MRN3 due to bad performance and locking problems with own developed programs.
The valuation results will be stored in a customer Z-Table on a monthly base. For auditing and transparency purposes, this Z-table has to get a change object and the update routines will have to write change documents.
Due to the expected size of the new Z-table, it is not advisable to simply switsch on table logging.
In this huge project (and in none I participated!) nobody ever implemented the change document process for a Z-table. BUT EVERYBODY CAN TELL YOU THI IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
I read some documentation at SAP and serached for threads or blogs here. I could not find anything desribing that in depth.
So before I start, I'd be happy to get some hints from people who created own change documents and implemented the process. Links to documentation and other helpful pages are also welcome.
If I can keep the process simple, I'd like to create a BLOG on this - because I think, in the future it will get more and more difficult to pass the auditing process with undocumented features and uncontrolled table changes.
TIA.
Regards,
Clemens

Hi,
Please check this thread.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/tips/changedoc/cd_createch.htm
Once you create your change document object using generate update pgm option then please check the WRITE document fm.

Activating change documents for standard tables

Hi all,
Can someone please tell me how I can activate change documents for a standard table.
I created a change document object in SCDO and included the standard table I am working with. This table does not have "LOG DATA CHANGES' enabled in its technical settings. I checked the data element of the field I am interested in and it has "Change Document" enabled.
Is there any way to activate change documents for a std table without writing code to create change documents?
Thanks.

Hi,
Check this transaction SCU3, this is to activate the change logs for the tables.

Table to look for change documents for users

Hi friends,
Is there any standard table to look for change documents for a user?change document through SUIM does not give the correct log.
Thanks for you support.

Julius
Looking at another of Tracy's other post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3598947) she's trying to use ACL. Hence needing to know the tables to write joins/queries to hit tables within ACL
I've seen ACL used and have had the fun experience of Auditors using Google to find tables to perform checks on without context of what has actually been implemented in their particular system.

Using a change document for Z table maintenance generatro to log changes

Hi Forum,
I have created a a change document for one of the Z tables now I want to use it in the table maintenance generator of this table so that any changes made to this table using maintenance generator are logged in table CDHDR and CDPOS.
I am using the event 02 After saving the data in the database
and have created a new FORM..ENDFORM for this event and it is working fine till here.
But I am unable to find any table or structure where the information of the action performed in maintenance generator is kept for eg. what action was performed like add, delete or change and on how many records and contents of those records.
I can update the tables CDHDR and CDPOS only if I have the above information.
Please guide me as to where can I find all this information within the maintenenace generator program?
Thank you,
Anubhav

Hello Anubhav,
Are you calling the change document function module in your save event ? The function module needs to be first created using SCDO for your Z table, select the fields on which you want to track the changes. Auto generate the programs for this change object. Once the FM is generated, you will have to call this FM in your SM30 event.
The change document tracking also needs to be enabled at the data element level..

Jay

Change Documents for the table EKET

Hi ,
We create a purchase order from ME21N . We do have some data for delivery schedule for the data .
This delivery schedule data gets stored in tabe EKET . When this PO is processed from V_V2 the dates
in the delivery schedule are overwritten and he new values will be even in the table EKET . When I follow
the navigation Environment -> Item Changes I dont see the changes documents for these fate fields . I did
debug through the FM EINKBELEG_WRITE_DOCUMENT to see but it looks like it is not captuirng the fields .
Now my requirement is to find where the change documents can be found for the date changes in the delivery
schedule tab in the PO . The fields of interest are :
EKET-SFLDT , EKET-DAT01, EKET-MBDAT , EKET-LDDAT , EKET-WADAT .
I tried for some OSS notes too, but in vain . Can anyone please help to find out how we find the changes documents for these fields .
Also please tell me if there are any OSS notes which explain us to extend the table EKET .
Thanks and Regards ,
Varun .

HI ,
I did check the table CDHDR and CDPOS and also the change document is checked for the data element but no change documents are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS .
Did anyone ever extend the tabke EKET ? Any OSS notes available for this .

Change documents for created for Customer Master

An existing program makes changes to the Customer master table KNA1. The changes are made at the table level using the UPDATE command. Since the changes are being made at table level, the change documents are not created.
I need to create IDocs for all changes. So the question is, how to create change documents for changes to the particular fields being UPDATEd in the report program.
I understand that a BDC program on XD01 screen should have been the best way for this, but I'm here to break-fix and trying to identify solutions with least development effort.

Hi ganadeep,
When an application makes any changes to an object it wrties change documents which are stored in the table CDHDR and CDPOS for each change made.
BDCP table holds the change pointers which point to the change documents in the CDHDR table.

Change Documents for RAR

We use RAR 5.3 SP 14 and were wondering if there were any tables or reports that can show the change history upon mitigation added to a user. We can see the date that the mitigation was assigned to a user, but we can't seem to find the date when a mitigation was removed from a user.
For those that are questioning, we do use CUP for mitigations too, but we are mainly trying to find the change documents for RAR.
Thank you in advance.

SAP Answered
"In 5.3, there is no change log for mitigation control assignment. The only option in 5.3 is if you configure the Workflow option for Mitigation, then a request would have been routed through CUP for
this change and then you could search in CUP for the history of the change. Specifically, under RAR in Configuration - Workflow - Mitigation, if this parameter is set to YES, anytime you would
add, remove or change a mitigation for a user, a workflow item would be sent through to CUP for approval before the change is actually posted.
However, if you don't have this configured, there is no change log of mitigation changes.
There is no change log table in RAR to track mitigation changes, sorry. The change log information is not retained in RAR for changes to mitigations. The only "change log" information in RAR is for
Configuration and rules. This data is stored in table VIRSA_CC_CDHDR and VIRSA_CC_CDPOS. Again, this is only for changes to configuration and changes to rules. This is the only data that RAR tracks
changes for.
Changes to mitigations are NOT stored anywhere in RAR. Please let me know if there is any concern."
