How to filter change pointer in ALE

hi,
i am using message type DEBCOR for transferting customers from client A to B with ALE.
and i am using the 'change pointer' to transfer changed/added customers.
BUT: how can i tell the system that only changes for customers with a specific number range (1000-1999) should
trigger an idoc ? now EVERY change is triggered, i don't want that !
reg, Martin

You can filter change pointers using BADI 'BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE'.

Idoc trigerring with change pointer under conditions

Hello dear experts
Could you please tell me how can i trigger an outbound idoc using the change pointer ( RBDMIDOC program)?
I have to generate the ARTMAS outbound idoc ONLY when the material status which is the table MARA is set to a certain value.
I can manage to trigger the outbound idoc but i did not manage to restrict this triggering according to the value of the material status fields.
Thanks for all your answers.
Best Regards.
Yannick

I tested using filter on Dist Wh and change pointers - for us, Dist Wh filter for material set on plant. When we made change to matierial, only if change to plant was made, so plant was included in idoc segment, did the filter work. If change material description, plant not on idoc segment so was sent . Looking for alternative...

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

what is the problem ??
I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
and you will find these filters :
double click on it and make a new shortcut
but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
you will can't make a shortcut.
hope I understood what you ment ???

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.

Change Pointer RBDMIDOC in SRM Replication

Hi Experts ,
We have ECC 6.04 with SRM7.0. We replicated HR Org Structure from ECC to SRM.
Out of 10000 Employee , only 2000 Employee will sue SRM, So I wish to replicate only 1500 Employee as initial upload from ECC by eopy paste from EXCEL in PFAL selection screen. That is okay.
For changes & Delta , I will schedule Chnage Pointer RBDMIDOC in SRM.
1) My doubt is exatly what this Change Pointer will replicate to SRM (with matching to Filter setting ).... out of below ?
1. Changes to already replicated Employees in SRM
2. New created Employees after initial replication
3. Remainning Employees in initial replication as well ( i.e. 13000 )?
Is all these 3 cases will replicate to SRM ?
2) In case of change of one field value, will system send only that Value in IDoC or all the date of Employee again ?
Please suggest
Thanks

Hello sranjna ,
These are the steps for change pointer :
1. BD61 :Activate change pointer generally .
2. BD50 :Activate change pointer for message type.
3. BD21 :Create IDOC type from change pointers.
4.Save the content : create a variant .
5.For automatically process:go to SM36 :Create a job with the program "RBDMIDOC " and the variant you created.
Also see the link if you want :

Vanishing point filter error

Hi, I am using cs3 on a mac. Suddenly the vanishing point filter is not working. I get an error message when I try to select the vanishing point filter that the operation could not be completed. I tried the vanishing point filter on two different PSD files and both times I got the same error message so the error is not specific to any one file.(The filter had previously worked on these two files before the problem started.) I then reset photoshops preferences by holding down the option, command and shift keys when launching photoshop, but am still getting the same error message when I try to open the filter on the same two files.
I then opened a file that I had used the vanishing filter on in cs2. When I chose the vanishing point filter, the filter opened after a message that "saved planes have been updated to the current version of photoshop. Converted planes cannot be opened with previous versions once they have been saved." I clicked ok and was able to make changes to the image that had originally been created in cs2 with the vanishing point filter.
What is causing this problem and what can I do? Thanks.

As I posted before, I would use it more if it had some of the functionality I need. I need to be able to change the opacity of the image I'm pasting so I can see EXACTLY where my overlaid image will register with the bottom image. VP seems to require a ton of processing and I wonder if maybe the software is handing off some of this work to the graphics card for calculating. Maybe this would explain that apparently not many people have run into an error that gets embedded in the file. Although my G5 is Apple stock, not super-modified.

Turning off Change pointer HRMD_A

We currently have the change pointer HRMD_A turned on and it's creating the IDOCs just fine.
Now, we want to turn off the change pointer, which I did in tcode BD61 and unchecked the message type HRMD_A in tcode BD50.
But, the IDOCs are still getting generated. What else has to be done to turn off the change pointer and the creation of the IDOC's ???

Hi John,
Did you save your changes into a transportable request and client-copied (SCC1) the changes back to the client where the data is i.e. the client where the IDocs are created? You can double check this by checking BD50 & BD61 in the client where the IDocs are generated. Then, as a test, go to PA30 change some employee data (keeping in mind the infotype filter if set in IMG) then cross check with table BDCP and field CRETIME.
If you have already done this and checked as per above and the system's still creates HRMD_A IDocs (which I find it unbelievable) then you should create an OSS message with a high priority and let SAP take a look at this!
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sougata.

CREMAS Change Pointer, custom fileter

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in which Vendor master change pointer is configured and working fine. But Now they want to set a filter based on some conditions which is not possible to configure in filter.
(Ex: based on Vendor characteristic value from table AUSP, I have restrict sending IDoc).
I am looking for userexit or badi which should allow me to create or not create change pointer option,
OR allow me to restrict posting of IDoc.
I tried BADI VENDOR_ADD_DATA_BI, but looks to me not suitable.
Thanks,

this BADI will trigger always before creating idocs - here you can keep your custom filter logic to control idoc creation.
On CP - are your characteristic value changes creating change pointers?

Change Pointer processing - send all data

HI,
do you know a way to fill the complete IDoc during change pointer processing ?
Example DEBMAS.
IS it possible to fill all segments/data instead of the changed data ?
The normal way is to fill only the changed segments/data.
thx,
Gordon

Hi ,
Please find the sample code to fill the Idoc data.
DATA:     C_INVREV_SEGNAME(7) TYPE C VALUE 'Z1INVRV',
          C_INVREV_MESTYPE(6) TYPE C VALUE 'ZINVRV',
          C_INVREV_IDOC_TYPE(8) TYPE C VALUE 'ZINVRV01',
          Z1INVRV LIKE Z1INVRV,
          C_INVREV_DOCTYPE LIKE BKPF-BLART VALUE 'YY',
          IDOC_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC,
          T_COMM_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
          IDOC_DATA LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
*--- Move the document header into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_HEAD_TAB INTO DOC_HEAD.
ENDLOOP.
*--- Move the document item data into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_ITEM_TAB INTO DOC_ITEM WHERE NOT ( LIFNR IS INITIAL ).
ENDLOOP.
*--- Populate the IDoc segments field with the required data
CLEAR Z1INVRV.
Z1INVRV-LIFNR = DOC_ITEM-LIFNR.          Store vendor number for filter
Z1INVRV-XBLNR = DOC_HEAD-XBLNR.          Billing number
IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM = C_INVREV_SEGNAME.     Segment name
IDOC_DATA-SDATA = Z1INVRV.               Segment data
APPEND IDOC_DATA.                    Populate IDoc internal table

Png blurry/pixelated after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file?

Hi,
Why are my png blurry/pixelated after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file? And i'm using a high res picture. I'm using PS CC.
I got some screenshots.
This the result of the png
Thanx in advance

How NOT to edit SSIS dtsx packages manually to change config filter in SQL Server configuration schema

I have many packages that are using the package configuration with the following way:
-ALL Packages have the XML configuration file that has only one proporty defined. The ConnectionString of the SQL Server connection that holds the configuration table for the rest of the properties
-A SEPARATE SQL Server package configuration for
each connection manager in the package.
-Finally an SQL Server configuration for all the properties that are specific to this package.
I attach a pic of what i mean: Yellow is the XML config with the connectionstring, Blue the connectionamangers and purple the package specific.
So with this setup i can:
-Change the xml file location and just point all the setup in another sql server or another database.
- Or create different configuration filters in the same config table and try to go into the package and change the filter.
With all the above the problem is that if i do anything from within VS, i am loosing the password in the connectionstring because i am not using the encrypt property. And i dont want to use it...
What are my options? Just go in .dtsx with notepad and chage what i want BEFORE i open the package or before i deploy?
Elias

You are correct but:
-I dont want to use EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, so:
When i go to package configuration and try to change the ConfoigurationFilter to point to another setting then i am getting to the screen to select the property (connectionstring) and when i finish the DATABASE record for the setting is cleared from the
Password= that i have put previously.
So i short what i want:
-No EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
-Being able to change configuration from within VS WITHOUT resetting the connectionstring string.
Elias
Nope what you're asking is not possible
There's certainly a purpose why each of things are given in the current format
For design level settings you need to use connection manager properties and for it to persist values for someone other than creator to use you need to use protection level as EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
And for runtime settings you need to specify values in config which has to be editted from outside the package by editing dtsconfig file or using update query depending on whether config is stored in file/table. In both the cases you can identify password
as a separate config item and modify its value from outside. That will work regardless of what you chose as protection level

Change pointer for HR master data is not getting generated in table BDCP

Hi,
I have done all the required configuration for change pointer for HR master Distribution and it was working fine few days back. Now suddnly it has stopped working.
Can anyone assist me on how should i debug it.
Thanks
Sunil Singh

Hi Shital,
Thanks for your Reply.
I am not able to find that path in SPRO
Basic Functions-> application Area
And Also My change pointer configuration was working properly and it suddenly stopped working.
I mean to say all the required settings was done previously.
Anyways kindly let me know how should i proceed.

Suppress Non Changed Fields in change pointer triggered IDOC

I have a requirement to clone message type MATMAS as ZMATMAS. This ZMATMAS is the message type I used to create change pointer triggering outbound idoc for change/create of materials.
When i change a material, all fields are sent instead of the fields only changed(of course key fields should be sent as well). Is there a way via configuration that I can suppress fields which are not changed? Or do i need to clone FM MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS and suppress the fields via program
Thanks in Advance!

i'll clarify the requirement again.
Let say i changed a field BRGEW in the material master.
Currently, all the segements which contains BRGEW is sent, but these segements contains other data which are not changed in the material master.
How do i suppress it?
Thanks,
