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.
You can get further details in SALE -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Master Data Distribution -> Replication of Modified Data.

I changed RFC but Webdynpro java still using old RFC, why?

Hi,
I changed RFC but Webdynpro java still using old RFC, why?
How can I solve this problem?(Wihtout resetting j2ee engine.)
Thanks.

Cemil,
check whether cache invalidation tool is installed on your portal or not.
go to system administration-system configuration-webdynpro console-invalidate ARFC cache
or you can reimport model using another jco connection.

ALE/IDOC Change Pointers for Custom Table

Hello all,
There is a requirement for my client, to trigger IDOC based on the Custom Table changes. The custom table has a maintenance view and will be updated/modified/deleted randomly by user. Now, i need to track the changes in that table and should trigger IDOC for the changes. The Message type i am using for this is MATMAS, as I need to incorporate changes to the same IDOC.
Is it ok to modify BDCP/BDCPS tables to update the changes from custom table? The Custom Table changes can be tracked through DBTABLOG......and i have my logic to trigger the IDOC
The question is: If i do modifications to BDCP and BDCPS, how this will impact? In future SAP upgrade/enhancements will this affect anyway? Can any one of you share your experience regarding this. Thanks.

Hi Raja,
You can send IDOC based on table maintenance event
I think you can code in event 02, to generate IDOC.

ALE IDOC change pointers - Msgtype CLFMAS

When making a change to a material class of a material a change pointer is created (as expected) for message class CLFMAS.
In the IDOc segment E1OCLFM of CLFMAS, OBTAB = ESTVA (instead of MARA as expected).
Where does this config take place?

Hi Appana,
Thank you for your time. I did checked all these steps still no luck.
1.Go to the Data Element of the field and check whether change doucment option is checked or not .
DONE
2.change the value of the field and check the entries in CDHDR and CDPOS.here u can check the change document object and table .
DONE
3.check BDCP table also incase of ALE.The program RBDMIDOC generates IDOc when there is an entry in BDCP.
if not check the following config
1.BD61- change pointers activated -generally
DONE
2.BD50 -Activate change pointers for ur message type
DONE
3.BD52 - add the triggering fields and corresponding tables and change document object.
DONE
Please check the entries in BDCP table ,if u find the entries execute the program RBDMIDOC
DONE
Any places I missed ? Please note usual ALE config has been done like SM59,WE,20,WE21 etc. Iam basically sending this Idoc to XI and then to 3rd party system.

Help With IDOC Change Pointers

Hi guys,
I'm trying an IDOC to file scenario. The scenario is working fine. I have activated change pointers for my IDOC. My understanding was that if there will be any change in my master tables, then because of the activated change pointers, the IDOC will be generated automatically. But in my case, for eg if i'm inserting any new record say Vendor data, no new IDOC is generated. For sending IDOC i have to use bd14 to send my IDOC explicitly.
Is my idea of change pointers wrong???Or am i missing some setting, so that the IDOC should be generated automatically???
Please help me on this guys...
Regards
Varun

Automatic generation of IDOC when we change the MASTER DATA:
Change Pointers:
Change documents are working based on change document technique which
tracks changes made to the key documents (Material Master, Customer Master,
Vendor Master.Etc) in SAP.
Changes made to the keydocuments are recorded in the change document Header
table i.e. CDHDR and Item table CDPOS, Additional change pointers are written
in the BDCP and BDCPS tables.
Change pointers technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically
when master data is created or changed.
A standard program RBDMIDOC is sechuled to run on periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and starts the ALE process for distributing the Masterdata to the appropriate destination.
'Object' is collection of fields of different database tables. T.code for creating an object
is SCDO.
Configuration for Change Pointers:
1. BD61 Active change pointers generally
 - Check the checkbox "Change pointers activated -generally"
 - Save it
2. BD50 Active change pointers for Message Type
Message Type Active
MATMAS Check the check box
3. SCDO Change Document Objects
 - Check whether the "MATERIAL" is available in the object list.
4. BD52 Maintain Table Views
- Enter the Message type "MATMAS" and press enter.
For example
OBJECT TABLE NAME FIELD NAME
MATERIAL MARA BISMT
5. BD60 Additional data for message types:
For example:
Message Type Function Module Table
MATMAS MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS MARA
6. WE21 Port
7. WE20 Partner Profile
8. BD64 Distribution Model
as michal said we have to use RBDMIDOC program.for executing this program we need to give message type like
MATMAS or
DEBMAS or
CREMAS
depending on your requirement.
go to SE38 tcode
--- copy RBDMIDOC to zprogram(i'e., ZRBDMIDOC)
---create variant
use this zprogram(ZRBDMIDOC) in BACKGROUND SCHEDULING SM36
STEPS IN BACKGROUND SCHEDULING:
Use tcode SM36
Click Job wizard in the button set
Click Continue
Enter Job name and press continue
Select ABAP program and press Continue
enter Program name and press continue
and again press Continue
set Schedule type immediately and continue
Select periodic job checkbox, press continue
Select none of the above and click on other periods give one-minute and then press create
Press continue and then press complete.
recently i did this requirement
if u have any doubts plz let me know

Changed number and facetime is still using old number

I added a 3rd line/iphone to my AT&T account. When i bought the iphone at the apple store I asked for a 626 area code but was told the only option I had was a 312 area code. I then called AT&T to try to change the number to a 626 number but was told I couldn't add a line from a different market to my account. So I transferred the line to a second account by itself in order to get a 626 area code for my nephew. Now that iphone will not allow me to facetime it using the 626 area code which is the iphone's number now. I have to facetime the old 312 number in order to connect to it, but that number was canceled minutes after i purchased the iphone. And when my nephew facetimes me, my iphone displays the old 312 number. When I try to facetime him I get a "facetime failed" error message. iphone has been restored and has 4.1. Phone number under phone settings has been changed to the correct 626 one. Can't think of anything else. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Thanks
~R

I downloaded the facetime app. I have it going through my email address. Now my wife has Iphone 4. When we first bought her phone, ATT gave her a dumby number for the reason of switching from another carrier. After her contract was up, we ported her number to the iphone. Dumping the other number for her orignal.
So when I tried facetime by calling her phone it would not connect. I was puzzled. I tried it a few more times and still nothing. I decided to take her phone and call me and it worked. I was confused when another number showed up. After pondering this for some time, I then noticed the number was the dumby number ATT gave her. This number was dumped 2 1/2 months ago.
Now I know facetime for Mac is just a beta version, but does anyone have an idea * is going on here?

Change pointers for the ZSEGMENT of IDOC Extension.

Hello Experts,
We are working on the SAP version ECC 5.0.
Our requirement is creating the ZZField and use this field to interface with legacy systems in the trnx FD02 and table KNB1.
We have created the ZZField in table KNB1 and also ZSEGMENT for the IDOC DEBMAS06.
We want to add the IDOC change pointers proramme for this ZSEGMENT that is being created.
I know there are two methods of doing this:
OLD METHOD:USER EXIT....
NEW METHOD:CALL CUSTOMER FUNCTION'...'
I tried the old method with the user EXIT_SAPLVV01_0001 for the Cutomer master.
But I am getting the error as
PROGRAMME NAMES zx....ARE PRESERVED FOR THE INCLUDES OF EXIT FUNCTION GROUPS.
Can any one tell me how do i need to write the programme for the IDOC CHANGE POINTERS for the ZSEGMENT?
Thank you.

Sending Idocs from Change pointers

Hi All,
When using RHALESMD or RBDMIDOC, is it possible to send Idocs with transfer mode Insert instead of Update?
Currently when I create new P objects and run the programs the Idocs sent is of transfer type Update. But since the object doesn't exist in receiving system there is nothing to update.
Please let me know if you have any thought what action i can take to solve this problem.
Best regards
Mikael

Dear Karyna,
The data is fetched from tables TBDME and TBDA2. Neither of the tables has partner system.
You can use below parameters by copying the program and modifying as per your requirement. See if you can link them to receiver partner system.
The data is fetched from TBDME.
You can use below parameters.
MESTYP     Message Type
REFMESTYP     Reference message type
IDOCFBNAME     ALE: IDoc editing function module
OBTAB     Name of database table for object
CREUSER     Created by
CREDATE     Created on
CHAUSER     Changed by
CHADATE     Changed On
OBJTYPE     ALE Object Type
REDUCIBLE     ID for reducible message type
BDCP2_SUP     Message Type Supports Change Pointers in Table BDCP2
Table TBDA2:
MESTYP     EDI_MESTYP
ACTIVE     ALE_ACTIVE
BDCP2_ACT     BDCP2_ACT

Vendor Master change pointers problem

Hi ,
We have a custom program that will read change pointers for Vendor master .
we use these change pointers to trigger our custom idoc . But we need to select only change pointers of vendors whose changes are confirmed in transaction FK08 or Fk09
Please let me know how we can check the changpointers for particular vendor is confirmed or not
Regards,
Ramesh

Just as a follow up on this. I think that within the setup of the classification system you need to configure the tracking of changes. If you take a look at table TCLA you'll notice that there is a field which indicates if change document are turned on. I belive that this then relates back to the "virtual" change document objects that I refered to in my previous post.
It looks like during update tasks that fucntion CLVF_VB_INSERT_CLASSIFICATION and that this checks the TCLA table and then writes the change documents as part of the updates.
The description of this field in TCLA is:
Change Documents for Classification
Indicator: for this class type, a change document is generated for all changes to classification data.
For technical reasons, this indicator can only be set if the class type is defined for classifying different object types.
looks like there is some more research needed but this should hoepfully get you on the right track.

Change pointers and RFC

Hi All,
Is it possible to implement change pointers without creating idocs, but with only RFC's.
Actaully i am goign through aproject document which says the interfaces are implemented using change pointers and BADI's.I was in a understandign that there would be idocs created to communicate the master data changes to other systems.
But one of the person who involved in the interface development said that there are no idocs related involved related to the interfaces, its all RFC's enabled.
Can anyone please let me know if change pointers can also be implemented using RFC.
Thanks in advcane.

Hi,
this is described sufficiently in SAPHELP - in a nutshell:
Changepointers - as the name says - point at changes (change documents). Therefore the creation is together with change documents (at the end of FM CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE.
Chane pointers are created for ALE message types (tcode WE81). This does not mean, that any ALE message has to follow - there might be another subsequent action.
Writing of CP must be enabled with BD50. With BD52 the tables/fields are customized. Precondition is, that the data element of the table field is enabled for change documents and that change documents are created. BADI
BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE allows further refinement (or any other action triggerd by the change). Note that both - change documents and CP - are created in update task - so you have to activate update debugging to see it in debug.
Storage of CP is in table BDCP2 (since release 7.00 former releases use BDCP and BDCPS). Read pointers with FM CHANGE_POINTERS_READ and set them to processed with CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE. If more than aprox. 1 Mio. pointers are read an overflow may occur - use CHANGE_POINTERS_READ_MODE_SET to set an appropriate block size and CHANGE_POINTERS_READ_INFO_GET to stirr the further processing. All FM are documented sufficiently.
Have fun!

ALE Change pointer BDCPS table gets processed again and again

Hello,
In Test system, when we run BD21 for DEBMAS, same change pointers getting processed again and again. This did not happen in Dev.
We did client copy for building Test system from DEV (Gold client).
Is it possible to carry over few table entries from Dev (even though it is gold client) and these entries cauing aboev problem while runnign BD21?
Is there any way to get rid of it? Will BD22 help?
Thanks.

Hi Rupali.
BD22 is used for erase change pointers. Why don't use WPMU ? or WPMA ? Using transaction WPMU, this
take change pointers, and mark it like processed. I'm using WPMU, and it's working.

IDOC change pointer key filtering

Hi Experts,
I have created a message type ( ymatmas_xxxx ) and activated change pointers for this message type.
So now may requriement is :
If I have activated 10 fields in chanage pointer , so IDOC should trigger only if any of the 10 fields are changed in material master ;
But my problem is;
there should be another filtering done for MAKTX-SPRAS = "E". so that only when description of materail in English language is changed then IDOC should trigger. ( For same material if some other language is triggered then idoc should not trigger )
I have checked customer exit and restricted the MAKTX-spras = 'EN' but what happens is even if other language is changed IDOC is getting triggered for english language; how do SAP know for which language is material description has changed.
Please advice is any other way to overcome this situation

Hi,
You can not do selective value based filtters on change pointers. Instead you can use ALE filters.
Also, instead of making code change you can achieve it via configuration. You can create filter in your distribution model. As E1MAKTM is a mandatory segment in the IDOC, the IDOC generation will need atleast one E1MAKTM segment. If you filter all the languages <> "EN" then SAP IDOC genration process will remove ALE segment, E1MAKTM where language <> "EN". Once it deletes segment, it atleast need one E1NAKTM segment to genearte the IDOC, if there is one change for EN then only system will generate the IDOC. You can configure the filters per receiver so that you dont have to apply filters for some other receiver.
To configure the filters you can use transaction BD64 and change the distibution model. If you do not have field for E1MAKTM segment then you have to add the fields via transaction "BD59". Also you can create your own ALE object type using "BD95".
I hope this resolves your issue.
Cheers,
