Change Pointers for Infotypes - HR Master Data distribution

Hi,
I want to distribute HR infotypes Master Data to other systems...
How do I activate Change pointers for HR infotypes?
Do I have to use idoc HRMD_A or HRMD_B?
Do I have to distribute thru PFAL transaction?
Can I do that a employee change the data of an infotype send the idoc authomaticly?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Urtzi.

Thanks Roman,
I've looking also for idoc HRMD_ABA. What is the diference between HRDM_ABA and HRMD_A?
When I press SAVE in PA20 doing changes in an employee system distributes authomatically HRMD_ABA but not HRMD_A. Is it correct?
So, if that is correct could I say the following:
- To distribute HRDM_A we can use report RBDMIDOC scheduleing periodic JOB.
- iDoc HRDM_ABA is distributed when saving data in standard transactions.
Is that correct?
Regards.
Urtzi.

IDOC trigger using Z change pointers for standard SAP table

For IDOC trigger, is using custom change pointers on standard SAP master data tables, a good idea? A seasoned abaper told me "it will mess with the standard" and further told to go with scheduled job.
So, for example, say that my data for table T001K is updated via transports in PRD and I need to transfer this updated data via IDOC to an external system. Since there is no standard message type for this data, I will create a new one. Further, I will create a new change pointer for table T001K (it already has six fields with their data elements activated for Change Documents). Then I link the message type and the new change pointer. And so on an so forth. I have followed the procedure given here:SAP Tips: A to Z of Custom Change Pointer
Now, the question is, will this be a good idea to capture data and trigger IDOC? Or a batch program with calls to standard FM to read CDHRD/CDPOS be a more suitable option.
I need to know if a near instantaneous data transfer (and an effecient one as far as the system performance and reliability is concerned) can be acheived. If there is any other way of doing this, I am not aware of it!
Any one has any input/experience on this?

Hi Viktor,
I think the batch program approach would be a good solution as the by this way you are taking matter into your own hands rather giving control to the SAP framework because you may have to test out the other approach as to how the standard SAP framework is behaving for custom change pointers.
Thanks,

User-Exit or Badi for dangerous goods - master data

Is there any user-exit or BADI we can use while changing or saving dangerous goods?
We want to do a copy on other dangerous goods immediately after the change or creation of the dangerous goods master data.
But I can't find an user-exit which can be used before the changes are saved.
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please check SAP enhancement DG100001
You can use this SAP enhancement to define a customer exit to write change documents for dangerous goods master data and packaging data.
The customer exit is in the function group XD10. It is called from the function DG10_CHANGE_DOC_USER_EXIT.
If the system does not find a customer exit, a standard document description is called. This is stored in the include LDG1NU03
Hope this will solve your problem

Change pointers for HR master data

Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.
Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .
I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?
Any help is much appriciated.
Sudheer

Hi,
guess it's not necessary to see some entries in bd52 (it's enough to activate in bd53).
Do you have configured RBDMIDOC (otherwise no IDocs will get generated).
Or you run t-code bd21 for testing. Standard way is to run the report RBDMIDOC in a periodic background job.
A good description could be found here (p. 12):

Why change pointers for master data, why not change message?

Hi Gurus,
I have one doubt about Idoc.
When changes to master data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of the transaction data change change idoc is used as is the case with orders (we use ORDCHG for ORDERS message type to send the chnage details to a order which was already sent to other system.
Why we can't use change idoc or message type whatever, instead of Chnage pointers in case of master data or vice versa in case of transaction data.
Your valuable input will be rewarded with suitable points!!
-B S B.

Change pointers are getting stored in the tables BDCP and BDCPS. As SAP suggests these tables should be as small as possible. And Master data are not much frequently changed data.
As you compare with the transactional data, you need to change them many times in the real scenario. If we also process the transaction data via chnage pointer, these changes BDCP is getting more and more entries.
RBDCPCLR is the program used to process the change pointer. If you have much data in the BDCP table, this program will take much time to run.
So, we use the change pointers for the master data only.

Avoiding change pointers for data with status planned

Hi,
we have to distribute HCM-data, standard infotypes and customer infotypes, into other SAP sytems. One of the receiving systems must not get data with the status planned (istat = 2).
Which would be the best way to avoid planned data in the receiving system? Is it possible to avoid creating change pointers for planned data in the delivering system or have I to delete the planned data in the receiving system while processing the idocs via user-exit?
Best regards
Stefan

Dear Stefan,
You can create the change pointers manually from the IDOC data (e.g.with FM CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE) during the inbound processing within of the customer-exits of enhancement RHALE001 or within an own BAdI implementation of BAdI HRALE00INBOUND_IDOC.
Or else you can use method IDOC_DATA_FOR_RECEIVER_MODIFY of BAdI HRALE00OUTBOUND_IDOC. In this case please make sure that note 1292241 is implemented.
Hope it helps,
Christine

Change Pointers for Vendor Master

Hi All,
I have to activate change pointers for Vendor Master data. I have some doubts regarding the same.
1. An Idoc will be generated for newly created vendor, right?
2. If I extend the vendor master IDOC, where should I write code to extract the values of newly added fields?
3. If I create a custom IDOC for vendor master, what is the procedure to configure this in the change pointers for Vendor Master?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
1. Afer doing all the settings required to create change pointers (BD61, BD50, BD52), the idocs will be created when u run the report RBDMIDOC or execute transaction BD21.if any changes happen in master data
like new vendor is created or vendor data is changed, then only change pointers will be created and on executing the aforesaid report, idocs will be generated.
Also idocs can be generated by replicating vendor data through transaction BD14 or any other custom transaction.
2. When you add custom segments to basic type, you have to write code in suitable user exits.
Identify suitable user exit to populate data in custom segments and write the code in oubound side.
Identify suitable user exit to populate the values in custom segments to database table, this code is to be written in inbound side.

ALE/IDOC-How to create Change Pointers for Custom Infotype

Hi,
My requirement is to transfer custom OM infotype changes using IDOCs.
But its not creating any change pointers for that infotype.

ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

Hi
I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.
I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.
I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.
Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?
Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?
Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.
Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?
Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.
With regards,
William

Thank you Sudhakar.
Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.
Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.
1. MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.
2. Using BD52, i have created the following fields
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH IM_ADVISORY_CODE
MATERIAL ZEMM_MARA_TECH KEY.
3. Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.
I did not see a change pointer for this change.
Q: When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.
Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?
I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.

Regarding change pointers for HRMD_A

Hi Abapers,
I need to distribute changes to HR master data to a middleware system. hence i have activated the change pointers for the message type: HRMD_A. now my idoc is populating the infotype segments whenever it is changed with all fields.
But a particular change (on an infotype) should be sent individually in two different runs of RBDMIDOC run to the middleware. Ex: Vendor A needs changes to be sent to it on a weekly basis whereas Vendor B needs changes to be sent to it on a biweekly basis. When an employee X has a change on infotype 2, this change should be sent to middleware in both instances separately in different IDOCS at different times when RBDMIDOC program is run (by capturing change pointers pertinent to the message type of the particular vendor).
What are the changes required for ALE config.? Do i need to create a new message type for vendor B and configure. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi sudarshan,
Yuo need to create Z program to trigger IDOC.
As you need to set read status of change pointer as X after yuo send it to both system.
So you need to create Z table to keep track of this whether you have send to sys a or Sys B..
If you willl not update read status in will cause performance prob.
Hope this helps.

How to create change pointers for IT6 when custom table Z777A changes?

Situation: We are using custom table Z777A (copied T777A and added fields) to store building locations. Employee's IT6 subtype 92 retrieves valid work address building locations from table Z777A.
Problem: Whenever there are updates to Z777A, we need to find all IT6 subtype 92 records that use the changed building location from Z777A and create IDOC's The change pointer entry will need to be for the IT6 subtype 92 row that is affected.
Question: Can anyone give me specific details as to how this can be accomplished? Thanks.

Full Master Data Distribution in ALE - Vendor Master CREMAS(Full Distributi

Hi Experts,
   I have to do a Full Master Data Distribution in ALE - Vendor Master CREMAS(Full Distribution) using BD21.
   I have already read the blog of Mickel and incorporated the code in Change_Pointer_Read.
   It is still not working. Should I include the code at the end of the Function Module. If yes, how to code at the last as
   I can include my code at the SAP suggest Enhancement and End Enhancement.
   Is there any way I can create the implicit Enhancement at the end of the Function Module.
   I will appreciate any help to make the Full Distribution work.
Thanks,
Mich

Hi,
   Here is the link.
   /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2009/06/04/distribution-of-full-master-data-objects-from-change-pointers
   My requirement is to send the whole Vendor Master in a IDoc even though for eg there is only one field change in address field of Vendor Master. Full Master Data distribution. But the program BD21 creates only IDocs with segments where the changes are made in the particular tab like address.
   Is there any Enhancement or way to enforce the whole Master Data(CREMAS) to be distributed.
   I will really appreciate any helpful answer .
Thanks,
Mich

Interface Change Pointers for IT0024

Hi All,
I wonder if any of you had the same problem has me.
I'm developing an ALE iterface along the PA and OM Modules with IDOC types HRMD_A07 and HRMD_B04.
Everithing is ok except IT0024 (qualifications) that is not beeing populated. Do I need to have a especial care about this one? I Know that it Should in OM IT1001 with the link Q B030 P but not even this is apening. The Chage Pointers are not working in this case.
Do any one can help me with this?
Thank You in Advance,
Pedro Ferreira

Hello Mahesh,
Your custom IDoc should have a Message Type and the Change Pointer should be activated for this Message Type. You can activate this via transaction SALE the follow path: Modelling and Implementing Business Processes u2013> Master Data Distribution u2013> Replication of Modified Data u2013> Activation of Change Pointers (Generally and for Message Types) but make sure the change pointers are already active generally via BD61 before you do this.
The two tables in relation to Change Pointers that one should remember are BDCP and BDCPS. The Change Pointers are normally processed using the standard transaction BD21 (Program RDBMIDOC) or transaction RE_RHALESMD (Program RHALESMD).
It is important to note however that a change pointer will not be created for a change unless the Distribution Model and Partner Profile are set up correctly.
The other important transaction to remember is BD60 where the function module to process your changes/business logic are connected to your custom message type/IDoc.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.

Change Pointers for the fields PERNR, GBDAT and PERID

Hi,
     I want to know, how we can delete/de-activate and then add/activate Change Pointers for these fields. Is my Question a valid one? Please guide me if I'm wrong and help me in this issue.

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,
Exertive.

Master Data Distribution !

Hi!
   I want to know the purpose of master data distribution for the following between the vendor & the customer.
   1. Material Master
   2. Vendor Master & Customer Master.
Whats the purpose of linking our system with our vendor or customer etc with <b>regard to master data</b>
Pls explain in detail.
Thanks
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
We dont do master data distribution with customer system or vendor system.
Master data distribution is done between distributed systems of the same organization using ALE configuration. So we dont link to customer or vendor systems for transfering master data but for transfering transactional data like purchase orders or sales orders etc.
Master Data Distribution
Rather than distributing the complete master data information, views of the master data can be distributed (for example, material sales data, material purchase data). Each view of the master data is stored in a separate message type.
Users can specify which data elements in a master record are to be distributed.
Various distribution strategies are supported:
·        Cross-system master data can be maintained centrally and then distributed. The final values are assigned locally.
·        A view of the master data can be maintained locally. In this case there is always one maintenance system for each view. After the master data has been maintained it is transferred to a central SAP system and distributed from there.
Types of Distribution
·        Active distribution (PUSH)
If the master data is changed (for example, new data, changes or deletions), a master data IDoc is created in the original system and is distributed by class as specified in the distribution model.
·        Requests (PULL)
A request occurs when a client system needs information about master data held in the system. You can select specific information about the master data, for example, the plant data for a material.
If you want to be notified of all subsequent changes to the master data, this has to be set up manually between the two systems. It is not yet possible for this to be done automatically in the distribution mechanism in the original system.
Transferring the Master Data
A distinction is made between transferring the entire master data and transferring only changes to the master data.
If the entire master data is transferred, a master IDoc is created for the object to be distributed in response to a direct request from a system. Only the data that was actually requested is read and then sent. The customer specifies the size of the object to be distributed in a request report.
If only changes are transferred, the master IDoc is created based on the logged changes.
Reward points for the useful answers,
Aleem.
