Change pointer for information characteristics in article master

Dear Experts ,
From where can i trace the changes made in information charateristics in article masters .
I notice that the same is not available in CDHDR & CDPOS & also not being captured in change log for the article.
Please suggest .

Hi
you might need to record your own change pointers.
See BAdI CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_BI and CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA.
This might help.

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

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.

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 NACE - 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.

Data change Event for Information Broadcasting

Hello Forum
This is regarding problem with "Data change Event for Information Broadcasting".
We have integrated the evening in a separate chain which is scheduled after the transaction data load.
In the settings for the event we have mentioned the infoprovider name based on which the reports are to be distributed.
Now, when the process chain is executed it does not distributes any reports though the data is changed in the infoprovider.
However when executed again its distributing it,any ideas what the problem is ?

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 Master data

Hello Experts :
If I Configure and Activate Change pointer ,so will it record only existing change or it will update new entry also
Example : Did changes in vendor master payment terms (I know change pointer will work for this).
But if I create any new vendor in system 1 will change pointer will record this change and going to update system 2 and will create this vendor in system 2 ?

the graphic in the docu cleary says create/change master data will create change pointers:

Maintain Change Pointer for Customer Master?(change in Master data)

Hello everyone,
i want to capture change in master data .whenever a change happen to required field in customer master an idoc should be create for that and the entry should e made in table CDHDR and CDPOS.
Please tell me the entire process how can i achieve this .

Hi,
Tables / Functions:
The change pointers are stored in tables BDCP and BDCPS.
With release ECC 6.0 SAP delivered a new table BDCP2 for increased performance. Which table shall be used is defined in transaction BD50 (see below). There is a function to migrate “old” change pointers to the new table.
The function group BD01 contains function modules for reading and updating the new change pointers in table BDCP2.
BDCP
Change pointer
BDCP2
Aggregated Change Pointers (BDCP, BDCPS)
BDCPS
Change pointer: Status
Prerequisites:
There has to exist a Change Document Object (CDO) for the SAP-object we change. For standard objects like material masters, vendors or customers these objects already exist. For own business objects we have to define a change document object with transaction SCDO .
In the corresponding data element for the database field the flag „Change document“ has to be active. check the details in the transaction
The usage of change pointers has to be actived generally for the system
Transaction BD61

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.

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
Prad

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

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 : "Message type ZP2PPROJ_MSG cannot be sent with change pointers"
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 ?

Trigger CREMAS change pointer for vendor classification change in XK02/FK02

Hi,
I have a business case where I need to trigger a change pointer of type CREMAS whenever a client modifies vendor classification in transactions FK02/XK02. I realize classificatiion/characteristics have their own change pointer types (CLFMAS, CHRMAS, etc.), but I was wondering if there was a user exit/BADI available for this scenario where I can manually create a change pointer. I need the characteristic data to be part of a custom IDoc type (based off of CREMAS03), and it's no problem to include this data in the custom IDoc, but I need a way to trigger the change pointer if the clients changes vendor characteristic data, and nothing else.
I also went into transaction BD52 for type CREMAS to see if there's another row for classification (CLASSIFY), but couldn't figure out the right object type.
There's a BADI called CACL_VALUE_CHANGE that triggers when vendor classification is changed, where I can generate my change pointer, but it's triggered before the client saves which means I would have a useless change pointer.
Does anyone have any ideas on what my options are? I hope I've elaborated enough
Thanks,
Chris

I figured out a way to do this which was to implement the BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE BADI which allows you to interrogate a change pointer based on an IDoc message type before it's saved to the database. For starters, change pointers for message type CLFMAS must be activated in order for this to work, even though I'm not interested in those eventual IDocs.
In the IF_EX_BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE~FILTER_BDCPV_BEFORE_WRITE method of the BADI implementation, I was able to loop through all of the change pointers about to be created and this is where I was able to obtain the vendor number the classification is being applied to. I actually added another line to the internal table that's changeable in the method for CREMAS and it worked out well.
The only thing that was difficult was to debug this baby. No matter how you set the breakpoint, it just never hits it until I discovered it's called using an UPDATE TASK. I found an unorthodox method to debug this situation on the web which is to force an endless loop before your custom code such as.........
while sy-subrc <> 98.
endwhile.
<custom code here>
Once your process runs, it will be sitting in an endless loop in an update task which you can view in transaction SM50. From here, you can highlight this line then you can click on "Program Session > Program > Debugging" to debug your code. It's not something I was used to, but it allowed me to debug in the end. I would hope there's better ways, but this worked for now.
I hope this helps someone else!
Cheers,
Chris

Change Documents for batch characteristics

Dear Guys,
Badly in need of your help !
In our project, we are required to report changes made on batches characteristics.
My program fetches records from CDPOS table that has change doc. object as 'CLASSIFY'.
The challenge is to find the new and old value. They are not directly stored in VALUE NEW and VALUE OLD. They are simply '1'.
I'm sure that they are stored somewhere in the database because the vlaue before and after change can be seen in the transaction mch3n via menu-> Display Change Documents.
I tried hard finding the table-field but looks like its not straight forward. This is really challenging.
Regards,
Ashok

Gert,
The change done in the project profile will only affect newly created projects.
Have you checked if change documents are created for new projects?
Hope this helps

Change pointer for custom message type

Hi,
I have a situation where in, i need to create a custom message type and need to track the changes in the table fields using the Change pointer technique.
Can anybody guide me as to what are the step to be followed after i create the custom message type and how to register the fields of the message type ?
Note : Change document (CDPOS) technique is ruled out in my requirement.
Regards,
Kewal.

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,
