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,

Change pointer for functional location- deletion flag & activation status

Hello,
Im trying to use change pointer for functional location outbound interface. I did all required settings in BD52. The problem is with deletion flag and acive/deactive status.
I found that those two are stored in:
table     field
TAPL     LOEKZ
TAPL     PARKZ
The problem I have is that I cannot find the object for those table, and due to that it cannot be customized in BD52.
Could You please advise which object class should I use or alternatively which other table/field and object should I type in to activate change poiters for deletion flag and active/ not active status?
For object IFLO, and its table (IFLOT, IFLOTX, ILOA)- there is no field for del flag and active status.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, standard didnt let us fulfilling this requirement. What we did- we extended table IFLOT with additional field for the status and used an user exit when saving FL, to take the value (status) from table JEST/TJ02T and copy the value to the newly created field. Then BD52, iflo, iflot, and the new field and it worked. Of course the function module for the message type (BD60) had to be changed to add this status value in additional segment/field for the idoc. Hope this will help You, as there is a lot of technical background behind it, and this is only functional overview.

Change pointer for Sales Order

Hi,
Using change pointers I want to create an IDOC when ever a specific field in the sales order line item is changed. I have activated the change pointer for message type ORDRSP. Also maintained the following entries in BD52
VERKBELEG(Object) VBAP(Table) ABGRU(field).
After this when I change this field at the sales order line item, it inserts entries into change pointer table.
But my problem is creating IDOC's from those change pointer entries. I am not sure which function module (MASTERIDOC_CREATE_XXXXX) works for this.
Anyhelp on this highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram,
I don't think so you can use change pointer for sales order changes. Usually, it is done through transaction code<b> NACE</b> - configuring condition for output type.
You can setup requeirement in procedure control to trigger IDoc ORDRSP for any changes in item level.
Hope this will help you and give an idea.

Change pointer method in IDOC.

hi,
Plz tell me necessary steps for data transfer using change pointer method . after
Activate change pointers ,De-activate change pointers. run of program RBDMIDOC ,RBDCPCLR , what other programs we need to execute related to this change pointer method . I thin I m missing 2 more steps for this method..
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 :

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.

How to set a change pointer for a perticular table?

Hi,
Please let me know how to set a change pointer for a perticular table.

what do you mean by 'change pointer'? normally this idiom is used for sending ÍDOCs from one system/client/org-unit to another ...
do you generally want to record changes to a specific table? then set parameter rec/client using RZ10 for your instance profiles and restart the instances in order for the parameter to take effect.
set the table to 'record all changes' using SE11.
you might re-consider if the table has a lot of data and is accessed very often for performance-resons.
change protocols can be evaluated using tx, SCU3.

How to write the logic for extending Idocs...

Hi,
      Can anybody pls explain how to write the logic for extending IDOCs with an example...
      Good suggestions can be appreciated..
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Generally the IDoc user exit is called at the following places:
1) When the control record is read.
2) After each and every segment in the data record
3) At the end of the data segment processing.
The IDoc user exit interface generally imports IDOC_DATA (data record internal table) table. Now the data records in the internal table should appear in the same order as maintained while defining IDoc structure (WE30 transaction). For SAP standard segment SAP code will take care of this. For extended segment you will have to take care of this aspect by appending the Z-segment in the IDOC_DATA table.
You can do this by:
         looping at IDOC_DATA table:
             - Do a case-endcase fo IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM (This stores the segment
               structure as per the hierarchy).
             - Within the case for "Z-segment" you can write the logic for appending
               the Z-segment to IDOC_DATA-SDATA.
Hope this gives some clue.

Gajendra.

Problem to create change pointer for custom message type - Idoc creation

Hi,
We want to create IDOC and send it out when the data of "planning calendar" changes. So we are trying to generate change pointers whenever entries in Table T439I (Planniing calendar) data change.
We created a message type, activated change pointers generally and maintained change relevant fields for message type (not sure if this step is done correctly). But not getting any change pointer in table BDCP2 when I create a new planning calendar in MD25.
Can anybody help / guide?

Thanks once again,
I had linked idoc type and message type in we82. Now after i activate the change pointers. I try to generate the IDOC type using BD21. It gives me the error message :<b> "Message type ZP2PPROJ_MSG cannot be sent with change pointers"</b>
whereas in my segments i am using all the master data only (i.e. PRPS, PROJ,PRHI). Please throw some light on this.
Also please clarify, do i need to make an entry of this custome message type in the partner profile ?

Customization for Change Pointer Mechanism in IDOC Programming?

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me that
We want to Maintain Master and Transactional Data in Different SAP Servers.I want to Send the Master Data to the other Server but before IDOC Creation i need to Display all Created or Changed Master Data then Our endusers will select Specific Master Data then only IDOC will create for that Master Data and Created IDOCs will send to the other SAP Server where Transactional Data is Maintained.
In Change Poinetr Mechanism it is not possible to see the Created or Changed Master Data before IDOC is going to be Created.But i need to Display the Master Data.
Please give me an idea to solve this or if you have any solution then send me.

Hi,
When you are change pointer the system itself will take care of sending the changed master data to your partner system and the user will not have any intervention. If you really wanted to have that then you need to use the change pointers to read the master data which is modified in a custom program and then display that on the screen. Once the user selects that master data records then trigger an IDOC for creating the idoc for that master data and also flag that master data record as processed in the SAP BDCPS standard table, so that the same record will not be picked. If you wanted to know how the change pointers piece of code is written go through the program RBDMIDOC and you can understand how the change pointers logic is written.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Issue with the change pointer for the reduced message type ZMATMAS

Hi All,
I have created reduced message type ZMATMAS for the MATMAS to create a Idoc when change or insert material master data fields( MARA-LAENG, MARA-BREIT, MARA-HOEHE) . My Problem is that the Idoc is generated with the status (03) but the fields(LAENG, BREIT,HOEHE) are not getting fill with the values. They are always filling with the values '/'). I have done the following steps to create idoc for the change pointer. Please check whether i have missed some steps.
1.     Create reduction maintenance ZMATMAS (Tcode BD53)
keep the default selected segments E1MARAM, E1MAKTM
2.     Add following data to maintain table view for the message type ZMATMAS (Tcode BD52)
Object      Table Name     Field Name
MATERIAL       MARA      KEY
MATERIAL     MARA     LAENG
MATERIAL     MARA     BREIT
MATERIAL     MARA     HOEHE
3.     Activate particular change pointer in BD50
Message Type       Active
ZMATMAS         yes
4.     Activate change pointers u2013 Generally (Tcode BD61).
5.     Assign Segment fields to change document fields (Tcode BD66 )
Segment Type     Field Name     Object     Table Name     Field Name
E1MARAM     BREIT     MATERIAL     MARA     BREIT
E1MARAM     HOEHE     MATERIAL     MARA     HOEHE
E1MARAM     LAENG     MATERIAL     MARA     LAENG
6. I have done the distribution model settings (BD64) and the idoc configurations
1.     Logical System
2.     RFC destination
3.     Create port
4.     Create partner profile
7. I changed the fields in material master data(Tcode MM02) and I executed the Tcode BD21.
Idoc is generated but the fields are not getting fill with the values
(Note: some fields are filled with values e. g material number, material description)
I checked the Idoc data segment E1MARAM (WE02)
Fld name   Fld cont.
LAENG       /
BREIT       /
HOEHE      /
Can you please let me know the issue

Issue is solved when I select the segments and the fields in the segments (Tcode :BD53)

Activate change pointer for a new screen field in MM42/41

Hi,
I created a new screen field for Article master(MM41/42/43) under basic data. If there are changes made to this new field how will the system create a corresponding IDOC? does this have something to do with the change pointer thing?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeffrey,
first of all got transaction SALE :
ALE
-> Modeeling and Implementing
-> Master Data Distribution
-> Replication
-> Activate Change Pointer generally
Check if Changepointers are generally on.
Then goto BD50 and activate change pointers fpr message type.
Finally goto BD52 and check if your field is "watched".
After that you can generate idocs from BD21.
Hope it helps.

Userexit for extended idoc for std. idoc WMMBID02 for T.Code MB1A & MB1B

Hi,
Which userexit we have to use to populate values in to extended idoc fields of the standard inbound idoc WMMBID02?
Pls share ur experience.
Thanks & Regards,
Balaji

Hello using this you can find out used user exit
1.From SE93 get the program name corresponding to the transaction.
2. then se38 - > enter program name -> attribute -> display
3. Get the package from here.
4. Go to SMOD . Do f4 on enhancement -> information system. enter your package here
5. You will get the list of all the available exits for the package.
List could be a long one.Now best thing to do is to sit with your functional analyst. find out approproate exit from the description. put a break-point there. ask functional analyst to run the transaction. if transaction stops at the break point that's the exit you want

Process code for extended idoc

Hi,
If we are creating an extended idoc, do we have to assign a new process code to it ?
Or will the process code and the associated function module for the basic type work as well for the extended idoc ?

Process code will come in to picture when you deal with IDOCS .. you need to assign a code which internally will have a Function module or a Include, that will have entire code to run your bussiness for an IDOC or EDI or ALE.
Process Code is a different name for specific purposes like function module. IDocs are written in this process.
Outbound Process Code - if you are using outbound processing under Message Control, the IDoc is generated in the IDoc Interface. The process code names the relevant function module
Inbound Process Code - names the function module or workflow which reads the IDoc data and transfers the data to the application document.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/dc/6b7d6243d711d1893e0000e8323c4f/content.htm
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE->Extension-> IDOC types->Maintain Idoc type)
Type in your name of the extended IDOC type (usually starting with 'Z') and click on the Basic IDoc type, click the create icon.
Click on Create new and enter a description and press enter.
Click on ZIDOCTYPE01 and then on the Create icon.
Enter ZIDOCTYPE as the segment type, click on Segment Editor.
Enter a description for your segment type and create.
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu.
Check the box on the line of your segment.
Save, back and enter.
Your Idoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment.
Save and back.
To release the Idoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes.
Reward points if useful.

What is the use of change pointer technique in IDOC

hi
could anybody suggest me
what is the use of change pointer technique and how to use it
thank you
kalyan.

Change pointers are used for changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by SMD Tool.i.e.shared Master Data.
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
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
You can increase the rate of processing by using the Analyze Change Pointer and Reorganize Change Pointer functions.
