Change Tracking method of Wendynpro

Hi All,
As we know that the change log works in MDM 7.1 also for qualified flat tables.
We detected, that it works for changes with the Data Manager and Import Manager, but not for changes, which we do in our Web dynpros end.
Is there a chance to adjust the coding of the Webdynpros so that we can track the changes from webdynpro end too ?
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Limbo35,
Three months ago you shared your problem with the tracking speed bar on your iPhone being grayed out and frozen. Mine is that way too. How did you solve the issue? Can anyone help me out? (My corollary problem is that I can hardly get the "slide to unlock" arrow over to the right any more!)
Thanks very much.

Change tracking file

Hello,
When I enable block change tracking, is it any method to maintain this file? Do we delete and recreate it in any way? Or we just let it stay and grow automatically?
Thx for help,
Aliq

Hi,
From the docs,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm#sthref424
The file is an Oracle Managed file and hence means that it does'nt require any management for the dba side.
Do we delete and recreate it in any way?
Once disabled, we can overwrite teh file with the Reuse option and use it again if we see its increasing enormously.
Also from teh docs again,
After the restore and recovery, the change tracking file is cleared, and starts recording block changes again. The next incremental backup after any recovery is able to use change-tracking data.
So I guess attempts are made by oracle that file remains in a satisfactory limit.

Change Tracking Webdynpro Component Error

I am using CE 7.11 SP04 with MDM 7.1 SP04.
Installed all the 2 webdynpro components.
Configured change tracking on MDM, also configured change tracking iView on CE.
Issue1:
When I run change tracking as an iView through Portal , the logoff button on change tracking iView throughs null pointer exception.
Issue2:
I am consuming the change tracking webdynpro component on my custom webdynpro wrapper.
I have added the following code to pass the id and lookup table as per the how tto guide to consume MDM webdynpro's.
RepositorySchemaEx schema = MetadataManager.getInstance().getRepositorySchema(wdContext.currentContextElement().getUserSessionContext());
GetPermanentIdFromRecordIdCommand cmd = new GetPermanentIdFromRecordIdCommand(

if (permIds != null && permIds.length > 0) {
int permId = permIds[0];
wdThis.wdGetMDMChangeTrackerInterface().setPermanentId(permId); // until here it works fine
wdThis.wdGetMDMChangeTrackerInterface().selectLookupTable(""+tableId.getIdValue()); // it throws null pointer exception here in SAP delivered change tracking component. Not sure whether it is SAP bug. Has anyone faced same issue?
Any help is appreciated!}

Not able to view actual Price updated 'Value' in Change Tracker

I was able to get my Change tracker to work and it is functioning. (SRM 5.0 MDM5.5 )... Configured Portal iViews for change tracker.
If I change a description I can see it in the change tracker application. But if I try and track a Price change it only shows me a date-time and user as to I when the price was changed it doesnu2019t show me the actual value changed, for my audit purposes.
On the portal the change tracker "Field" dropdown shows -> Price Updated. this is what is tracking any change of price.
In MDM Console-> Admin->Change Tracker I am tracking under Catalog Items: Price information, Price Updated, Special search terms, long description.
When I look at the Data manager in the Record Detail, I see u2018Price Updatedu2019 and it only has a Date and time stamp. In this same Record Detail, I see the field Price Information that contains :Lower bound, Purchasing Info record ID, Purchasing Organization, Amount and Currency. Amount-> contains the actual price value. This is what i want to see in the portal iView as Old value and New value....this is what I am unable to view? theres one small step i am not doing...
I am trying to track the actual change in the filed u2018Amountu2019u2026 I have tried to search for it in the Portal iView fields (table, record contains, fields, record)
cheers

Hi Alex,
I would not here comment on change Tracking functionality but can you suggest another workaround to achieve this requirement. If it fits in your requirement you can go ahead with it.
In MDM, Create another field in Main table say Initial Price and for already existing field Amount replace its name with Updated Price in Qualified table Price.
now after this you will see that your by default Updated Price has values as it was your Amount field earlier and Initial Price field as empty. Now for next time, if any record comes using Import Manager then MDM workflow should trigger at Record Import.
This workflow contains following steps.
Start(Checkout)>Assign>Stop(CheckIn)
Assign step should have below expression and assignment:
Price Information.Updated Price
Where I am assuming Price Information is the field in main table which is look up to this qualified table Price.
So in this way you can maintain both existing and updated values of Price and cant then show in your Catalog.
suppose you have already existing record say 1 which has value of Amount as 20.
So that means you have Updated Price as 20 and Initial Price as empty(Null)
Now when same record 1 updates with new Amount say 40, it triggers this workflow on record import which will then assign value of existing updated Price 20 to Initial Field after that Updated Price will update by 40.
Note: This Assignment works well only if your main table record has this Qualified table link as single record. If your main table record contains more than one qualified links then this Assignment would not work fine. So use only if it fits.

Cannot change payment method on subscription and C...

I am posting the transcript for the 45 minute chat I just suffered through. I simply needed to change my credit card as the old card had been replaced due to a security breach. Others on forums have complained about this issue but this is a stellar example of Skype's poor business and customer service practices. You are now chatting with 'Laarni M'. Laarni M: Hello! Welcome to Skype Live Support! My name is Laarni. Laarni M: If incase we got disconnected, simply click on the Chat Support Link and you will be reconnected to us in no time. Laarni M: https://support.skype.com/support_selection. Laarni M: With that being said, how may I help you? [Removed for privacy]: I need to update my credit card information because the credit card I have on file is expired. The update payment page does not give me the option to enter a new credit card. I started to delete my old card so I could add a new one, but I got an error message saying I must cancel my subscription before removing my credit card. Laarni M: Oh! [Removed for privacy]: I have a subscription already. [Removed for privacy]: I have had it for years. Laarni M: I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with updating your credit card. Laarni M: I will be glad to help you with this. Laarni M: To start with, can I have your Skype name and your name so that I can address you properly? [Removed for privacy]: I have already entered that information to begin this chat. It is required. Laarni M: I understand. [Removed for privacy]: the Skype name is [Removed for privacy] and my first name is [Removed for privacy] Laarni M: I just need to verify it. Laarni M: Thank you, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Nice to meet you. Laarni M: Let me just pull up your account. Laarni M: Anyway how's your day so far? [Removed for privacy]: OK, I have found it. Apparently I am forced to buy Skype credit in order to change my payment to a new method? This is ridicuous. Laarni M: I am now pulling up your account, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting. Laarni M: Yes, that is correct. In order to change your payment method you need to either wait for your subscription to expire so you can purchase using the new card or you can buy Skype Credit. [Removed for privacy]: Now that I have bought 10.00 of skype credit and added the new payment information that way, it is appearing in my payment settings and I can delete the old card. But again, this is the only way to add a new payment method, which is very wrong. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Oh, just lovely. I just tried to delete the old card and I have the same error message that "this card is being used to fund your Unlimited US and Canada 12 months. If you want to delete this card you have to cancel your subscription first." Is this some kind of nasty way of forcing me to lose my unlimited subscription? Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: Because the best way to add a new payment details is for you to let the subscription linked to the credit card expire first. Laarni M: After that, you can reactivate your subscrption using the new credit card. Laarni M: That is the best thing that I can recommend, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I went into change payment settings and changed the payment method to the new card. The page saved and said it had changed the setting. But then I went back in and it had not. It still defaults to the old card. I still get the "cancel subscription" message when I tried to delete the old card again. Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I can't let it expire or it won't pay for my subscription in August. Anyway the card will not expire. It was replaced due to a security breach at the issuing bank. Laarni M: Because you really need to let your subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update your card. Laarni M: I see. [Removed for privacy]: Why would I want to do that when I probably won't be able to get the same plan? I have had that unlimited plan for years. [Removed for privacy]: I am certainly not cancelling that plan. Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: This is really insane, you know. One should easily be able to update payment information when a card needs to be changed. [Removed for privacy]: I had this same problem last year, but there was a workaround. If you do not know what the current workaround is then please transfer me to a supervisor who does.l Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I doubt that you do understand. Since the forums indicate this is an ongoing problem, I am forced to assume this situation is intentional and is a way of forcing people to give up older and less expensive plans, and that you are fully aware of that. Laarni M: I am sorry but as much as I want to help you, we can't do anything but to let the subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update the credit card. [Removed for privacy]: I need to speak to a supervisor, please. Laarni M: I am sorry but as of the moment, my supervisor is engaged to a different activity. [Removed for privacy]: I am sorry but that is not the case. That is just what you have been told to say. I can continue to open new chats and waste representative's time for hours, or you can arrange for me to communicate with a supervisor. Laarni M: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused you. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I understand that it is really important for you ad upon further checking, we can try this step that may work for you. Laarni M: Do you have another browser aside from the one that you are using right now? [Removed for privacy]: Yes, I do Laarni M: Great! Laarni M: Internet Explorer would be the best. Laarni M: Can you please open it and go the link that I will provide to you? [Removed for privacy]: It is already open, please send the link Laarni M: Alright. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link. Laarni M: Once you click on the link, and click Skype credit, please do not forget to click the change payment method when you buy Skype credit. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link Laarni M: I am sorry for the delay, I am just having a system error as of the moment. Laarni M: But on your end, you can go to the page where you can buy Skype credit. Laarni M: By the way, there are 2 cards saved on your account. Laarni M: May I know the last 4 digit of the card that you want to use? [Removed for privacy]: 1591. And yes, I already explained to you that I bought Skype credit (which I do not need as I have a subscription!!) just to add the new credit card. Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: I can delete first the old credit card saved on our system. [Removed for privacy]: Please do that, but do NOT delete or cancel my subscription when you do this. Laarni M: Alright, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for patiently waiting, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I hope that what you are doing is successful. Laarni M: Please hang on, [Removed for privacy] as we are still doing some workaround for this. Laarni M: We are also getting an error doing this. [Removed for privacy]: That is not confidence-inspiring. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way. [Removed for privacy]: I imagine that anyone would feel that way. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Here's what we can do to help you now, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: We really need to cancel your subscription so it will cancel the recurring payment. Laarni M: This does not mean that the subscrition will be cancelled. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. Laarni M: So once we cancel your subscription now, you can try to go to the payment settings and update your credit details. Laarni M: Is everything okay? Haven't heard from you in a while. [Removed for privacy]: I am sure that you realize this is unacceptable. I am very surprised that you would suggest this as a solution. As I stated above, I am well aware that this is a method Skype is using to force people to give up better subscriptions. I will not be forced to accept a suboptimal subscription by this method. I am also aware that a supervisor can correct this problem in the system by hand. Please put me in communication with a supervisor. Also--I have ALREADY updated my credit details as I explained above. You or a supervisor simply need to change the subscription payment method to the new card that is already on file. Laarni M: I understand where you are coming from, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: But I am trying to help you with giving the best solution for this. [Removed for privacy]: We are going in circles. I have been on this chat for 45 minutes trying to get a simple payment method change that with any other company, I could do by myself online in two minutes. You are not offering me any kind of solution at all. You are insulting my intelligence by claiming that the payment method cannot be replaced. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Please stop this. The system is clearly set up to block a payment change. A supervisor can override this and that is what I expect you to arrange. Laarni M: But as of the moment, there is no available supervisor. [Removed for privacy]: Please do not tell me things that are not true. [Removed for privacy]: Please connect me with a supervisor. Laarni M: And If I will transfer you to my supervisor, he will give the same information that I provided to you. Laarni M: This is because it is the only workaround for this, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: You do not need to worry, cancelling your subscription is just cancelling the recurring payment or auto renewal. [Removed for privacy]: He may, but if he does, he will also be stating something that is not true. It is always possible for a supervisor or manager to make changes in the system. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. [Removed for privacy]: I'm sorry, but in August when the billing period ends, I will receive notification that my subscription has cancelled due to non-payment and that I must choose a new plan. That is what I do not want. Therefore your solution is unacceptable. I have stated this clearly. Laarni M: I am sorry [Removed for privacy], I really want to help you but this is only the work around or soultion that we can do. [Removed for privacy]: Then apparently after 8 years, I will be searching for new phone service. I am very sorry that this is the case. Laarni M: If the auto renewal will cancel, you can still reactivate your subscrition and that time, the new payment method will be use for that subscription. [Removed for privacy]: Do I have your word that I will be allowed to keep the same plan with no changes to my subscription? Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. You can still reactivate the same subscription. Laarni M: You do not need to wory about this. [Removed for privacy]: If that is not the case I will be cancelling. And Skype needs to change its payment method practices. This is very poor customer service. I will be going on every forum I can find and posting a poor review of the service. This is a shame since I have been a loyal Skype customer for more than 8 years. I was a customer when Skype was the only internet phone company in business. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thnak you for being loyal with Skype.

Well, it happened again. This time I'm done with Skype. A ten-year customer, and they've finally worn me down and worn me out. Yes, after 30 minutes of constant escalation, requesting a supervisor, and finally threatening to walk, they offered another annual contract at 6 cents more a year. But at the cost of making me sign up all over again, and after wasting my time both last year and this year. And I am DONE. I will use my remaining Skype credit for the few online teaching video conferences I have to do, but no more subscriptions. Bye, Skype. I would provide adjectives for how horrible your customer service is, but they would all be profane.

I chatted with an agent 2 days ago re: failure to apply my credit card to my subscription. He said it was taken care of and my online account should show the subscription renewed in 24 hours. it is still not renewed.
Gian C: at 19:02:41
I am sorry to know that

Thank you for patiently waiting
Gian C: at 19:06:07
Is this for the Unlimited Us and Canada?
Customer: at 19:06:13
yes
Gian C: at 19:07:12

Gian C: at 19:07:49
Look for Unlimites Us and Canada
Customer: at 19:07:58
why?
Gian C: at 19:08:21
Just want to make sure if repurchasing the subscription would be avaialble
Customer: at 19:08:36
I was told last year that it would be available. And two nights ago.
Gian C: at 19:08:36
That is the best work around to get the subscription back using the new card details
Gian C: at 19:08:45
I understand
Gian C: at 19:08:53
Can you please go and check it first
Customer: at 19:08:59
No, thank you. Please just apply my card. This is what happened last year.
Gian C: at 19:09:02
So I can assure the resolutiong
Customer: at 19:09:34
The subscription shows that it expires today. It is on my account. Simply renew it with the card information that is also on my account.
Gian C: at 19:09:40
Can you help me on this to solve your issue please?
Gian C: at 19:09:53
I understand
Customer: at 19:10:02
You have directed me to your sales site to search for the plan I already have all over again. I have no time for this.
Gian C: at 19:10:06
However the time you change the card did not worked on the system
Gian C: at 19:10:15
That is why the renewal did not push trough
Customer: at 19:10:41
It didn't work last year either because the system is a mess. But a rep fixed it last year. If you cannot do this please pass me to a supervisor.
Gian C: at 19:10:59
ok.
Gian C: at 19:11:19
Before we do that, can you please try to check if the subscription is available first.
Customer: at 19:11:40
I do not understand how you expect ME to check if a subscription is available!
Customer: at 19:12:04
The subscription is ON MY ACCOUNT AND SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE RENEWED.
Gian C: at 19:12:09
Basically it is simple
Gian C: at 19:12:10
Go to this website
Gian C: at 19:12:10
https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling
Gian C: at 19:12:10
Click on U.S.
Customer: at 19:12:16
Please pass me to a supervisor.
Gian C: at 19:12:20
Then check if US and Canada is part of the list
Gian C: at 19:12:39
Before I pass you to our supervisor
Gian C: at 19:12:47
Let me give you a heads up on your case
Customer: at 19:12:57
it is there for $2.99 per month. I have a locked in annual charge for that subscription for $29.99. Not $36.00.
Gian C: at 19:13:11
I see
Gian C: at 19:13:28
Thanks for the information
Gian C: at 19:13:38
When did you change your card detail? For this subscription?
Customer: at 19:15:08
Last year. At which time the system refused to remove the earlier invalid card and charge the 2nd (correct) one. This year the system allowed me to remove the old card. The rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine. When I looked at the detail this evening, the expiration date was missing, so I filled it in. The rep said NOTHING about this two days ago. Frankly I think Skype is trying to sabotage my re-order to try to force me off of my annual plan and onto a monthly. I will not do it.
Gian C: at 19:15:13
Thanks
Gian C: at 19:15:48
Just to make sure we will be solving this issue, can you please provide me your call back number
Customer: at 19:15:59
You do not need to call me.
Gian C: at 19:16:07
Just incase this chat got disconnected so our supervisor can call you
Customer: at 19:16:19

Gian C: at 19:16:25
Let me get you our supervisor as you have requested
Gian C: at 19:16:29
Thank you
Customer: at 19:25:17
?hello
Gian C: at 19:27:42
I will get back to you once the Supervisor is ready to take this chat. For a moment
Gian C: at 19:27:50
Sorry to keep you waiting
Gian C: at 19:28:08
Our Supervisor is still engaged with the call
Gian C: at 19:28:10
Anyway
Gian C: at 19:28:20
Here is what we have found out on the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:41
The renewal has passed already, so we can't renew it manually other than repurchasing the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:54
Checking the price of the subscription
Customer: at 19:28:59
It has not passed yet. it expires 5/7. Today is 5/6.
Gian C: at 19:29:12
Let me give you a heads up
Gian C: at 19:29:39
Auto-renewal only happens once. And that is 3 days before the subscription expire
Customer: at 19:30:09
I give up. This is done. No subscription. Of any type. And I have been a Skype customer for over 10 years. Goodbye.
Gian C: at 19:30:23
I am sorry if you feel that way
Gian C: at 19:30:34
I am explaining to you all the things you need to know
Gian C: at 19:31:27
But you refused to listen nor cooperate. As much as I wanted you to get your subscription back. However it is within your call if you want to follow my advised to get this resolved quickly
Gian C: at 19:31:47
The new subscription prices is just 30.50USD for 1 year
Gian C: at 19:32:12
It is just few cents higer compare to the old price $29.99
Gian C: at 19:32:37
I hope that won't be a problem for you to get the 12 months subscription for the Unlimited US and Canada.
Customer: at 19:32:51
This is flatly ridiculous. The rep 2 days ago told me this was taken care of. Now you tell me it is not, keep me on chat for 30 minutes, make me look up subscription prices on your OWN website, and then tell me my subscription has expired when it has not. Yet I am the one being called uncooperative.
Gian C: at 19:33:02
If the auto renewal failed because of card used
Customer: at 19:33:05
That is a problem. I will not resubscribe. I don't care that it is only 6 cents a year more.
Gian C: at 19:33:21
Then Repurchasing the same subscription will be best to get it back
Customer: at 19:33:30
That is not why. If Skype did not have the information required I should have received an early email. I got SEVEN EMAILS IN ONE DAY INSTEAD.
Customer: at 19:33:42
The 7th one said the subscription was cancelled.
Gian C: at 19:34:05
That is the notification sent by Skype to tell you that we are still trying to accept the payment
Customer: at 19:34:30
It makes no sense to notify a customer every two hours on a SINGLE day, but not before.
Gian C: at 19:34:33
6 times the sytem try to renew the subscription
Customer: at 19:34:43
Yes. ON the same day. None on any other day.
Gian C: at 19:35:01
If only there is no problem with your card then the subscription should renew without a problem
Customer: at 19:35:10
You expect people who are at work to sign in from their work PC for personal business and renew within 8 hours. Ridiculous.
Gian C: at 19:35:08
Yes correct
Customer: at 19:35:12
I am done.
Gian C: at 19:35:10
As I said
Gian C: at 19:35:30
3 days before the subscription expire is the only day to renew the subscription automatically
Gian C: at 19:35:32
That is how the system works
Customer: at 19:35:34
As I said, the rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine but would take 24 hours for teh change to apply to the syste.
Gian C: at 19:35:37
It is part of the terms of use
Customer: at 19:35:43
Read what I said.
Gian C: at 19:36:01
Yes I already documented this case and I already escalated those previous representative
Gian C: at 19:36:08
For providing you false information
Customer: at 19:36:12
The terms of use don't say you bombard people with emails every 2 hours on a single day.
Customer: at 19:36:44
And then cut them off at the end of the day. When their subscription has not even expired yet. And then tell them it's their own fault their card didn't work. When they were told it was fine.

The email notification is our way to make sure customer will be notified that they need to renew the subscription to avoid this kind of issue
Customer: at 19:37:07
Then why not send it once a day for six days instead?
Customer: at 19:37:13
that would make a lot more sense!
Gian C: at 19:37:38
Here is the thing Kim the system works that way for 10 years already
Gian C: at 19:38:12
And only few customers are having this kind of issue, common issue was cause by problem with the card associated to the subscription.
Customer: at 19:38:18
See this? this was last year:

Ok
Customer: at 19:38:45
You'll get an update on that thread, believe me. Which will make it clear why I'm done with Skype.

How can I change Output Method and Mailbox# programmatically (without GUI)?

We have several iR5075s and about 300 workplaces. For security reasons we only allow "Store" output method. So every user has access to some printers and for every printer they need to reconfigure printing preferences.
For convenience we'd like to do the following automatically (via Group Policy or scripts):
1) Change "Output Method" to "Store".
2) Set the correct mailbox number.
The problem is that the related settings seem to be stored in registry as a binary blob (HKCU\Printers\Connections\<printer name>\DevMode). I've been searching for a while but I couldn't find anything that would explain what's what in that blob.
Any clues?
Or maybe there's another way?
P.S. I'm familiar with scripting, regular expressions, etc. Acquiring the necessary parameters (such as mailbox#) is not a problem at all. I only need to know where and what I should change (in registry or elsewhere).
[Edit] Update: Actually it seems the settings are stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider\<user sid>\Printers\Connections\,,<server name>,<printer name>\RemotePrinterCache. It's also a binary blob though.
Eventually I'll reverse engineer it enough for my goals. I just don't understand why it must be so complicated...

But I'm not sure how useful you'll find it. I wrote it as a temporary solution (we're now migrating to UniFlow) and it's anything but universal. At best, I guess, you'll be able to salvage some of my code while writing your own.

Issue in change tracking table on subscriber after reinitialization the subscriber

Hi All,
We have enabled change tracking on the subscriber tables and its getting dropped during a reinitialization.we are running an ETL on the subscriber tables basing on change Tracking.Our Initial ETL runs once and incremental ETL runs after that but
after reinitialization i am getting fresh data and my initial ETL has already run.So how can i resolve this issue.Can't renireinitialization be done without disabling the Change Tracking.
Kindly provide your feedback.
Thanks

The article property Action if name is in use correlates to the
@pre_creation_cmd property of
sp_addmergearticle.
[ @pre_creation_cmd= ] 'pre_creation_cmd'
Specifies what the system is to do if the table exists at the subscriber when applying the snapshot.
pre_creation_cmd is nvarchar(10), and can be one of the following values.

Issue in Change tracker application

Hi all,
We have enabled Change tracking in our repository when it was enabled there were only 3 Display fields in our repository and the tracking was done as is in the change tracking application under the column Record shows all the Display fields.
Now because of business requirements we have activated another field in our repository as a Display field, now when i login to change tracking application old records under Record column still shows the 3 Display fields in the Record column of the change tracker application.
I went and changed a record which falls in the Change tracking criteria, now i see 4 Display fields in the Record column of change tracker application as there are 4 display fields currently.
There is an in consistency in the data in the application now for few records there are 3 and 4 fields in the record column. Is this how the system behaves?
I think the logic is like this when ever there is a change happening in the repository, insert query is used to update the A2I_CM_History table with the existing data(at that moment how many fields were enabled as DISPLAY )with out any relationship to the Main table Display fields. Please correct me if i am wrong, it was just an assumption.
If any workarounds to this problem will be of a great help.
regards
Sowseel

Hi Gabor,
Thanks for your reply!
We have checked that note and we have indexes existing for few other fields as well in the table, but still we are facing the same issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Change Tracking in SQL 2012 - Behavior Change

Hi,
We observed some change in behavior for Change Tracking feature in SQL 2012 Express. Sequence is as follows,
CT is not enabled at DB level. (Of course at table level too)
Created and populated table CTTEST with some rows, say 10 rows
Enabled CT at DB level
Enable CT for table CTTEST
Queried change tracking data, using change table function (select CT.* from CHANGETABLE(changes CTTEST, 0) CT). No rows returned. Perfect.
Updated few existing rows
Queried change tracking data using CHANGETABLE function as above. Now it returns the modified records. But SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column shows as 'U', indicating update. Same scenario was tested in SQL 2008 Express, and we got SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column
as 'I', indicating as Insert.
Is this a change in behavior? Can somebody clarify this?
Note: SQL Version is, "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Express Edition (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)"

Please note that I am not talking about CDC, but CT - Change Tracking and that too in Express edition.
Yes, I know, when we update primary key value, we will get a delete and insert transactions in CT. But my scenario is different. I am updating the rows, which are already available prior to enabling Change Tracking in that table. In that case only, I am
observing this.

Vendor changes tracking, Payment term filtering, Vendor listing

Hi All,
Need somebody help on the following points,
1- While changing the vendor via "process vendor and Bidder" (Business partner maintenance) transaction in EBP, the selection of payment term is restricted. That is in SPRO I can see lot of payment terms, but while changing the vendor some few payment terms are coming. Where is the filter? Can anybody guide me.
2- Vendor changes Tracking. In our project somebody has changed frequently the vendor indicators and details in EBP via process Vendor and Bidder(BP maintenance) transaction. But I couldnt able to track which fields are changed and by whom like in R/3. I tried in BP also, but only the address changed details are coming there. Can anybody guide me how to track the changes, if somebody changed somefield in EBP directly?
3- Vendor list - I want list ERS activated vendor in EBP. How to get the list of vendor for which ERS indicator is active? Please guide me.
Many thanks in Advance.
Regards
Shunmugaraj. T

Hi
Please refer to standard transaction - BBP_PD.. give any Shopping cart number, which is approved by a list of buyers, managers, etc..
Incase the changes are made, it will display all the details related to them in that case.
Understand its logic by putting break-point inside.
Incase you are using SRM 5.5 version, there is a report, which displays the changes made to the Purchase orders with old and new values.
Report name -> TERM_DISPLAY_CHANGE_HISTORY
Also please refer this as well.
Say you use this Function module for the change object - BUPA_BBP0060
This sample code will all the changes, if any, made to the object, with the old value and new values.
Here is the sample code for the FM ->
CHANGEDOCUMENTS_TO_OBJECT 
data: listtitle(80) type c.
data: objectclass like cdhdr-objectclas.
data: objecttitle(20) type c.
data: con_keylength(2) type n value 10.
data: cursor_field(20) type c.
listtitle = 'Changes made'.
listtitle+22 = vibebe-sberi.
listtitle+34 = vibebe-xberibz.
condense listtitle.
objectclass = 'BUPA_BBP0060'.
call function 'CHANGEDOCUMENTS_TO_OBJECT'
 exporting
 callmodus = callmodus
 cursor_field = cursor_field
 keylength = con_keylength
 listtitle = listtitle
 objectclass = objectclass
 objectid = objectid
 objecttitle = objecttitle
 exceptions
 error_in_function = 01
 invalid_field = 02
 others = 03.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
 message id sy-msgid type 'S' number sy-msgno
 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.

How to get the Reports of Change Tracking Table in MDM?

Hi!
Please tell me how to get the reports of Change Tracking Table in MDM which is a System table, directly from MDM without using any interface.
Thanks in advance for the reply.
With Best Regards
Devendra Pandey

Hi Devendra,
MDM can track changes on tables and fields. The level of change tracking, and which tables/fields to track, are configurable in the MDM Console. MDM opens a new database on the same database engine as the MDM repository and writes all change records to this database.
For information of various steps you can visit

Bapi to change payment method for vendor invoices using FB02 - VERSION 4.6C

Hi all,
I have a requirment to change payment method from 'A' to 'N' in vendor invoice using tcode FB02 .My system version is 4.6c.
I am looking for a BAPI which will serve the purpose. I tried but could not find anyone.
Please help me to find the same, or any OSS note which will help me in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
Vengal Rao.

Hi,
I think there is no BAPI for this, but can use FM ' FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE '.
In this FM pass field 'ZLSCH' to table IT_FLDTAB, w_bseg-ZLSCH = 'N'
and pass your BSEG data to table IT_BUZTAB. This will help
Can refer to threat [Any BAPI for "FB02";
Thanks,
Anmol.

How to multiplex the block change tracking file?

Hi,
I have a question to change block tracking feture.
The normal way to enable block change tracking would be:
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING
USING FILE 'mydir/change_track.f'
REUSE;
What if my harddrive is gone?
Is there anyway to define more than one destinitaion like for archive log files?

The difference is... archive log files can contain irreplaceable data.
With Block Change Tracking the data is not irreplaceable , just run full RMAN backup and then regen the file. <- IMHO
