Change pointers tables

hi ppl,
I have changed a material discription.But i couldnt find the document number for input in CDHDR table.Even though i checked the records in CDHDR,its there in that table but iam unable to find the docu number and object value from where it is picking.I copied the object,object value and doc number in CDHDR and provided input to CDPOS table.Its showing the old and new value.fine,in BDCP table i need its change pointer id.I checked everyrecords in that table but unable to find the the change pointer id for my inputs.Its displaying that 'no records for the value' Pls what i need to do..and starting how should i get the document number....

hi,
use this program.

Process order change pointers - not getting logged

Hi,
I have defined change pointers for Process order for one custom message type in BD52 (and BD50 as well.). I have included AFKO, AFPO and AUFK tables (e.g. fields like KEY, GAMNG).
But no change pointers are getting logged when ever I create or change a process order through COR1/2.
Am I missing something?.. (and yes Change pointer are active 'Globally'.)
Thanks.

hi,
generally change pointers (table: BDCP) are saved during change document creation (table CDHDR),
but due to performance reasons this funcionality was switched off...
see oss note 390635...
I think, if you want - you must write own code in which change pointers will be created,
look at these function modules, should be helpful:
ORDER_WRITE_DOCUMENT
CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE
CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_LONG

Change pointers problem

I have created message type ZMATMAS and I want to see an entry in BDCP2 (Change pointers table)
when ever any material is created or changed
I did following steps until now.
1. Created ZMATMAS
2. Activated change pointers - BD61
3. Activated change pointers for message type - BD50
What else I've to do?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Visit this link for more details on Change pointer.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/12/83e03c19758e71e10000000a114084/content.htm
also i will tell you in short about what next to be done...
To be able to activate the writing of change pointers via the SMD tool for your master data object, you must carry out these steps:
·        Activate change pointers for each message type
·        Maintain change-relevant fields for message type
·        Activating change pointers generally
You also have to:
·        Implement function module for evaluating change pointers
·        Defining the ALE object type MSGFN as a filter object type
NoteIf you distribute master data using a asynchronous BAPI, all the settings below apply to the generated message type of the BAPI-ALE interface.
Thanks and Regards

BDCPS (Chane Pointers table updation).

Hi Friends,
could you please help me, Actually we have changed the vendor master data in MK02, when i modified the vendor master data in MK02 That time the system updates the Change pointers table BDCPS.
Could you please help me where the BDCPS table updates at time vendor master change in MK02
Please help me
Thanks.
Charnn.

Why don't you use ST05 to trace the SQL executions upon that table, you'll then be able to easily reach the ABAP source line. By the way, the CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE* function modules are used to write change pointers. See [sap library|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/78/2178da51ce11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

Change Pointers are not getting populated in BDCPV table.

Hi All,
         I am trying to create IDOC for Activity type master - KL02 through change pointers. For that I have done following things.
Message type - COAMAS
1. Created Custom message type - WE81 - ZIN_COAMAS_TCSMOBILE
2. WE82 - Config for Mess Type and Idoc type combination
3. SCDO - Checked object type LSTAR and have required tables in that object.
4. BD61 - Activated Change pointers - Generally.
5. BD50 - Checked Active for ZIN_COAMAS_TCSMOBILE
6. BD52 - Added fields for I want to create Change pointers
7. BD60 - Message type and ref Mesage Type and function module config.
8. BD64 - Created distribution model for my Message type
After doing all this settings the change pointers are not getting created in BDCP and BDCPV tables.
Note - The entries are going in CDHDR and CDPOS table for activity which i change through KL02 for class LSTAR
Can anybody figure out what need to be done in this case?
Regards,
Gautam Joshi.

Hi All,
          Solved the problem myself.
          In BD52 I have given
          LSTAR               CSLA         KOARS
          LSTAR               CSLA         LSTAR
          LSTAR               CSLT          KTEXT
          Here the data of activity are stored in TCLA and TCLT tables. So intially while doing config in BD52 I have given TCLA and TCLT table names.
          But I debugged the KL02 and found that change pointers are not created for TCLA and TCLT table. further looking into CDHDr and CDPOS table I found that for COAMAS message type in these two tables table name was CSLAB.
CDPOS entry
LSTAR
3166442
119512890
*CSLAB*
2003166442   2400123120000101
KTEXT
U
--> BUT CSLAB is structure.
After putting these entry in BD52 the problem solved.
LSTAR     CSLAB     KOKRS
LSTAR     CSLAB     KTEXT
LSTAR     CSLAB     LSTAR

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,
Ravi

Change pointers dor LQUA table.

I have a requirement to send stock information when ever there is an update in LQUA table for specific conditions. Can I have change pointers set up on LQUA table. So when ever there is a new material movement posted in SAp I have to create an Idoc and send it to a 3rd party system when ever stock is updated in the BIN.
Regards

A FM called in Update Mode cannot be debugged as it is not executed immediately. It is executed upon Commit Work.
I found the following from Moderator Matt, which may be helpful:
"Set a break point in your update task FM. Set a break point on the commit statement. Run the transaction. You'll enter the debugger at the commit statement. Now set UPDATE DEBUGGING on, and continue. A new debug window will open in the update task. Hit F8, and the debugger will stop at your break point in the update task."

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.

Hi,
MASTER DATA CHANGES DISTRIBUTION BY CHANGE POINTER TECHNIQUE:
Step 1: Creating change document object in SCDO transaction.
Step 2:Assigning tables to the change document object.
Step 3:Specifying change document items in transaction BD52.
Step 4: Activating change pointers for the message type HRMD_ABA in transaction BD50.
Step 5:Activating change pointers globally.
Step 6:Executing program RBDMIDOC in SE38, Specifying message type HRMD_ABA.

SMD Tool. No change pointers log on table CDHDR nor CDPOS.

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use the SMD tool. I've created my Message Type, and my Change Document Object(Tcode SCDO).
Priorly, I've tested the ALE Layer configuration, by sending iDocs of my message type directly with the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE Function Module, and it works fine. I mean, I have no problem with sending iDocs or the ALE configuration.
In the transaction SCDO I've logged my Object Type, and I've assigned the table THOC (Public Holiday Calendar), from wich I want to monitoring the field DATUM, wich is flagged as "Copy as Internal Table" and "Doc. for individual fields at delete". Also in this transaction (SCDO), I've created the Update pgm.
In transaction BD95, I've inserted my ALE Object Type, and I've assigned the table THOC and the field DATUM to my Object. Field DATUM is referenced to the DATUM Data Element. Due that the Data Element DATUM isn't flagged as "Change Document", I've changed the Data Element referenced by the field DATUM for one copy of the Data Element DATUM, wich I've flagged as "Change Document".
My Message Type is alredy on the following tables:
Tcode BD50: The checkbox for monitoring Change Pointers is on.
Tcode BD52: Where I've assigned my ALE Object, the table THOC and the field KEY.
Tcode BD59: Where I've assigned to it the segment of my Message Type, and the field (same field type) wich corresponds to the field DATUM of table THOC.
Tcode BD60: The ref. msg. is the same as my Message Type, i've created the function module to create the iDocs containing the delta information (via tcode BD21 I alredy reach this FM that I've created), there's no table nor Object Type Associated (in this step I've tried both cases, with table THOC and my Object Type assigned, and both not assigned), the checkboxes "ID for reducible message type" and "BDCP2 OK" are off.
The Change Pointers in Tcode BD61 is on.
After all this configuration steps, I still cannot see logs of my Change Document Type in tables CDHDR nor CDPOS. Besides, when I run Tcode BD21 with my message type, and when the program reaches my Function Module (Z_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_xxxxx), the function CHANGE_POINTERS_READ with my ALE Object gets no records. At this step, the same function (CHANGE_POINTERS_READ) with another ALE Object does get records.
Table BDCPS alredy contains records for my Message Type, and in those records, the "Process" field is empty.
Am I missing one step or something?
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advice.

Table maintenance generator and Change pointers

If a Ztable contains table maintenance generator, then the change pointers will not work?

Hi Saraoja,
If you want make active your change pointers for your Ztable, then in your Zfields, get into the Data element and click futher Characteristics tab, there you have one check box called Change document, Check that box and activate your data element again.Now your Zfield changes will reflect in CDHDR and CDPOS.
Thanks

IDOC Change pointers is table BDCPV still used nowadays

Hi,
I got a do something with idoc transfer. I got a document with described what to do.
One of the things to do was to get Change pointer data out of tale BDCPV. But in that
table hasn't been written anything last year.
i have activated changepointers with tx BD61
i have activated the change pointers for the right invidual meesage types tx BD50
i can create the idocs with tx BD21 or program RBDMIDOC.
i see another table BDCP2 is filled with data. Has there anything changed with Change Pointers last years?

Hello,
SAP recommends the usage of the change pointer table BDCP2 instead of BDCP/BDCPS.

Regarding change pointers in CDHDR table.

Hi All
Can we write change pointers in CDHDR table when we change the status of the project (CJ20n).
When I change the status of the project then status of the network is also changed.
Now my requirement is , as soon as the status of the network is changed ,entry should be recorded in to CDHDR.
I am able to record the changes when description or other things of the nework are changed but facing problem for status change.
Can we achieve this if yes then how ?

Hi Pranay,
Could you please let me know how you could able to resolve this issue? i am facing same kind of problem

This is regarding creation of change pointers for a particular table?

Hi to all,
Here is my requirement,
How to create change pointers for a given table.
i know that change pointers record changes of master data at field level......
here now i have to create change pointers for a given table..
how to do this,......\
regards,
swami

Configuration steps :
BD53 -> create reduced message type (use MATMAS as your reference for material master records). Select tables
BD52 -> specify fields to track (use fieldname KEY for new entries)
BD50 -> activate change pointers for new reduced message type
BD61 -> activate change ponter generally (only if not already done) Make sure if this is not already active that you deselect the default enteries in BD50 for the message types you don't care about
The view BDCPV will now contain change pointer entries for the master data that has change or been created
Use function modules
CHANGE_POINTERS_READ - read new unprocessed change pointers
CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE - mark change pointers as processed
Hope it helps.

Change Pointers - adding a new field to existing Change Document

Hi,
We have a requirement to capture the changes made to the Material object through the transaction C223. The changes to field MKAL-PRFG_F have to be captured.
There is an exisitng Change Document Object - MATERIAL. This is included in Message Type MATMAS. These are the steps we have done:
1. In SCDO - added the Z structure to the Change Document Object - Material. [Z structure contains the field MKAL-PRFG_F. Change pointer option is checked for this Data element.
2. Created a Z Message Type with reference as MATMAS.
3. In BD52 - we have listed the fields for the new Z Message Type created.
4. The Change Pointers - reactivated after the steps are done.
The changes to the field MKAL-PRFG_F through C223 Tcode are not recorded in BDCPV table.
Have we missed any steps here?
Thanks,
Pallavi

HI,
I don't think a new zmessage type is required in this case.. is the structure added to MARA table??The change document programs are there which triggers the iodcs... In SCDO transaction code , click on generation info for MATERIAL.. You will find the includes. The FM MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT creates entries in CDHDR and CDPOS, if we maintain entries in BD52 , the entries wil be written in BDCP and BDCPS tables.
Try to add your structure in MARA table as append strucre and then you can debug the IDOC from WE19 and use the FM "MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS" and then you also need to switch on Update Debugging on, to debug the changes in update FM MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT.
Please see if the change is reflected or not....
ELSE.
may be you need to create a new entry in SCDO and do all the ALE configurations for change pointers.
Please find the link for change pointers and also you can get lot of information on change pointers in SCN.

Change pointers in case of purcahse order

The scenario is to send data through idoc when i create/change delete certain fields in purchase order.
I hace used change pointer scenario for it
can u plz see what i have missed out in my configuration ..
Here are the steps i followed .
1) created a logical custom message us we81 .
2) created custom idoc using we 30
3) Linked custom mesage and idoc using we 82
4) Activated my custom message using bd50 .
5) Assigned fields to message using bd52 ie
Einkbeleg EKKO waers , EKPO-netpr ..etc
6) Assigned cutom message and custom function module
(z...smd_custommsg) via bd60
7) tried to execute the message using BD21 ..
Now the issue is that entries are being created in change document table(cdhrd/cdpos)
but no entry in BDCP/BDCPS..
please give your valuable inputs to it
Thanks In advance

hi,
You can acheive this by writing a custom program.
in the program you need to use function module 'CHANGE_POINTERS_READ' for reading the change pointers.
Give document object class as the object name in bd52 and give read_not_processed_pointers as 'X'.
Looping at the output table and using function module CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_DIRECT you can create an entry in bdcp table for the respective purchase order.
After this you can use SUBMIT rbdmidoc WITH mestyp = message_type AND RETURN.
