Manually Logging Infotype Changes

I have programs that are doing Direct Updates to Basic Pay and One Time Payments and management wants us to log the changes. I know that this data is stored in PCL4 and that you use RP_IMPORT/RP_EXPORT to get data from and to this Cluster Table, but I'm needing an example of the code to do this if anybody has one.

How are you doing changes to infotype 0008 and 00015?
If at all you need to make changes to them, try to create new records which delimits old ones.....
This can be done using BDC - Session method or Call Transaction.
Dont use direct update statement to make changes to database table as this does not log the changes......
Hope this helps
Reward if useful
Thanks,
Haritha

Logging Infotype Changes

Hello,
The client requires an interface to be sent periodically with the benefits information from PA071 when values (a range of values) change within a specific field (BSTAT). First time we have to send a full file ("baseline") and subsequent interface will only send those PERNRs for which there has been a change in that field values.
I have created a custom table to capture the date/time for the last interface run but my problem is how to capture the changes BSTAT in PA0171? Do I need to look at AEDTM? Or create another custom table to store all data for every run and then compare it against the consecutive run? What are the options to capture changes in the Infotype field level and send only the delta?? Any sample program?
Thanks for all the inputs. I will award points immediately for all good leads..

Shuvo,
Don't even go there! What you need is to use standard program RPUAUD00. Read the program doco, test it with infotype 0171 (after creating/changing data of this infotype) within a date range and I'm sure you can use this to suit your requirement. There are some prerequisites (customizations via IMG) which needs to be done before you can use this utility report, the program doco. outlines this in detail. Its been enhanced couple of years ago so it will have lot more doco, ALV output if you are in ECC version. Let me know if you are in a lower version and I'll download the report and send it over to you!
As your requirement is an interface, you might have to take a copy of this standard report and tweak it to suit your requirements...for e.g. insert the change documents into a CSV file by fields etc. At least this is a good start so you don't have to reinvent the wheel Let me know how you go.

Sougata.

Infotype Change report

Dear Experts,
Is there any report by which i can track the changes done in any infotype? I want a report by which i can check the changes made in any particular infotype between a specific period.
Please help

Error: while configuring logs for changes in infotype data

Hi All,
I am configuring the following Tables for maintain logs for changes in infotype data.
V_T585A, V_T585B and V_T585C
While configuring V_T585B, when i input * in 'field name' column it gives me an warning message " All data fields in **** infotype 31 will be deleted.
Please let me know, what does this warning message means?
Also, How is the report RPUAUD00 read?
Regards
Simran

Hi Simran,
you are not suppose to give the IT 0031-Reference Personnel Numbers in these tables. why because this will done at the time of Employee hiring only and we don't change this. if you change you will lost the old data in the IT.
Normally we assign only the IT which we change frequently for the master data. example like 0 1 2 7 8 9 27 582 - 589 2001 2006.
if you are configuring today means from today on-wards any changes had made to these IT's you can see in the report. before changes will not be seen. in the report you have to choose either long-term document / short-term document and remaining fields as per the requirement.

Log HR infotype changes without a Mod like Change Documents

We need some help with a requirement. We need to monitor HR infotype changes. We would like to be able to trigger a event like a change pointer and IDOC. However, we are trying to stay away from mods to our system. We are needed fields from 0000,0001,0003,0006,0105. Most of the fields do not have Change Documents set and would required us to create a mod to flag the data elements. We also tried to trigger and monitor these changes in ZXPADU02 until we realized that once we get to 0003,0006,0105 in zxpadu02 we don't know what the person is inserting in that specific infotype, because the exit function module does not bring in information on changes to those infotypes. We would really like to be able to trigger off of a event without creating a mod. We would like to not have to run a program to read the logging files because we like the responsiveness and real time actions of triggering and not running a periodic program. We are trying to push these changes out of SAP.
Thanks

Have a look at HRMD_A05 this idoc type can transport the infotypes you mentioned and of course you can activate change pointers for that in bd50 (message type hrmd_a)

How to delete HR Infotype Change log

Hi,
I would like to know if there are any means to delete the HR infotype change log. I've already executed the standard program RPUDELPN to delete all the employee records every time an environment is refreshed from the production image, however both the long term and short term infotype change log can still be access. I need to remove those change logs as well to prevent unauthorized access to these confidential data.
Thanks a lot.
Francis

Thanks. However, I'd like to know if I can delete the change documents that were already logged.
My scenario is that in production environment, we have turn on the logging and change documents are already created. Now we have refresh the development environment with the production images, so I've to delete all the employee records as well as the change documents in order to prevent unauthorized access to these confidential information.
The standard program RPUDELPN already delete all the employee records but not the change documents. Where and how can I delete both the long and short term document as well?
Thanks.

Just in case you aren't already aware of it..
If you are on ECC6, you can enhance almost any Class/Function Module without the need for an Access key from SAP. you can insert a Pre/Post/Overwrite method..there are also several implicit enhancement points in each method/function module, where you can plug in custom code..
Also, this thread needs to be in the [Enhancements & Modifications |ABAP Switching, Enhancing, and Adapting Standard Programs; forum.

Logged Timecode Changes after Batch Capture

I'm working with the Kona 3 and the Panasonic D5 (HD3700B)
I'm having a problem with FCP changing my logged clip TC after Batch Capture in 720p 59.94. This problem only occurs in 720p mode, 1080i is just fine.
While capturing 720p 59.94 from the D5
In FCP when I log a clip at:
01:20:00:00 in
01:20:30:00 out
After Batch Capture is complete the clip shows up in the browser as:
01:19:55:05 in
01:20:25:05 out
FCP is effectively changing the logged timecode of the clip. I'm capturing with burned in TC and the Burned in TC is Frame accurate, but why is FCP changing the clip's TC?
In all my experience with FCP I have never encountered this issue and I am completely puzzled. I've contacted AJA and they have said that they do not know of this issue and were puzzled also. I am using a Tri-Level Sync and everything seems to be getting proper reference.
There is no reason why FCP should be changing my logged clip settings. (right?) Also, I tried a test where I made the clip that came in with the bad timecode offline, and then ran a Batch Capture again, and it changes the logged timecode even further. I've tried a variety of Device Control settings playing with frame offset etc with all having the exact same numeric result (see TC above).
Anyone who has any insight or similar experience your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help
Ted - Editor, NYC

The BITC matches the original Logged TC (even though the logged TC changes after capture)
Logged TC (Media Start/End in FCP)
01:20:00:00, 01:20:30:00
Captured TC (Media Start/End in FCP)
01:19:25:05, 01:20:25:05
Burned in TC Captured (Viewable on Video File)
01:20:00:00, 01:20:00:00
I'm very curious about what yourlooking at on the deck manual. Page 145??? I don't see a page 145. It's been my understanding that the Monitor HD-SDI does produce the 720p 59.94 signal, and that's what all my monitors and Kona say that their getting.
Also, could you clarify your last sentence.
*"Forgive my guessing but this deck looks like it really wants to work in 1080 and 720 is kind of there to step up from 8 bit DVCPro HD."*
I dont think that its a 23.98 issue and our source tape is not 23.98, even still if it was, it shouldn't effect the logged TC.... but I'll try it in the morning, could'nt hurt.
Update: A person over the phone at Apple "didn't" (did) say over the phone that upgrading to 5.1 (universal) would improve 720p capabilities.
So the next step will be giving more money to Apple for Universal and installing the new Kona drivers released yesterday.....and then let the testing fun begin again.
Thanks so much for your help, please let me know where to find that info in the D5 (3700B) manual. Cheers.

HR Infotype change pointers

Hi Friends,
I have been trying to find how to activate the infotype change pointers and I could not find any helpful thread in this forum, in my case the program RPUAUD00 does not return any change logs.
Could someone please tell me how to activate the change logs for all the HR infotypes?
Thanks,
Muktar

OMG it's weird!
I guess maybe you miss some steps in configurations.
Please refer link blow: Re: Report for logged changes in infotype data
and http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-hr/infotype-audit-log-2322026
Hope you can solve your issue soon, because it's really important report
Good Luck!

Is there a way to identify manual log switches?

Hi!
A while ago I upgraded a 10g database to 11.2.0.2 64 Bit Windows.
During the Upgrade we realized that redo logs were configured really small (~10MB) what resulted in a lot of log switches (a few hundred per day). So we adjusted redo log size to 100MB and set archive_lag_target to 1800.
The amount of log switches went down a little but less far than we expected it. After further analysing the situation we recognized that Oracle is switching logs far before reaching the 100MB log size (and also far before reaching 1800s). All the archived logs have a size of about 15MB. I know that 11g invented something like "preemptive log switching" that switches logs round about 20% before reaching the maximum value (if I remember it correctly..). But switching already at 15% of the maximum size seems strange to me...
I couldn't find any helpful stuff on Google or Metalink about that topic but today I had a different idea: what if it's the application software that's doing manual log switches?
(I have no idea why it should do that but I can remember that the application user does require the sysdba privilege - don't ask me why, I didn't write it, I won't defend it...)
So I checked the alert log but unfortunately I had to realize that there is no difference between an automatic switch and a manual one (only alter system archive log... does get an extra line).
So my questions are:
1) Does anybody know a way of distinguishing between an automatic log switch and a manual one? Is there a table or another logfile where this information is recorded?
2) Has anybody experienced a similar situation where Oracle is switching the logs way before reaching the maximum size?
Best regards,
Marcus

Off the top of my head - I think the only way to do a manual log switch is to issue "alter system switch log file", and I think that any "alter system" command is written to the alter log in you version of Oracle. (I really ought to check both statements before posting this, but I've been up since 2:30 am).
2) Has anybody experienced a similar situation where Oracle is switching the logs way before reaching the maximum size?
It's very common with recent versions of Oracle when private redo threads come into play; but your example seems a little exaggerated. The log file switch has to start when there is enough space left in the log file for all the public and all (or maybe it's the previously used - i'll have to check my book) private redo threads. You could check x$kcrfstrand to see what this sizes look like: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/?s=private+thread

Logging the changes of a custom table into CDHDR and CDPOS

Hi all,
What is the strucutre that is to be passed while creation of a ChangeDocument(Object Class) for the parameter
Name of Ref. tab in SCDO tcode.And what other steps are to be done for logging the changes of a custom table.

How do you maintain the first table? Did you create the maintenance module yourself or did you get it generated by SAP? If you have your own maintenace module, all you have to do is get the values from the table at the time when you update it and seve the necessary values in the second table. If you have a generated maintenance module, then you would have to do this in there, problem is you will need to register the onject when you change it.
Let me know if this helps.

How to determine Default Table Logging (log data changes )

Does anyone know how to view exactly what tables and related data fields have change logging enabled by default? I know that some of the standard reports will produce "edit reports" show who changed what field, when ,old and new values, etc, but I don't know how to determine where the data is retrieved from.
For example: If I look in the ABAP Dictionary at table LFA1, technical settings, it shows that log data changes is not "checked" or enabled. But if I run the standard AR Master Data Change Report, I get output showing valid field changes.
I have seen other threads that refer to SCU3 but I can't determine the above this from report.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Arthur,
As far as I am aware, these are 2 different things.
There is table logging which is at the table level & if activated (i.e. it's listed in table DD0LV, PROTOKOLL=X and the table logging parameter is set in the system profile/s).
The second one is programatical logging for change documents when data is maintained though a program that has been written to include a log. I'm not sure how to identify a complete lit of these though unfortunately.
Hope that is of some assistance.

Table - Issue with Logging Data Changes

Hi Experts,
My client's requirement is to log data changes happened in a table which is critical. I've selected 'Log data changes' check box in technical settings of the table. Now, I'm able to see log for all the changes i did after that. But, I'm facing following issues. Kindly help me in fixing the same.
1. The table is having two fields with same data element. In the change log SCU3, under the field name, field label mentioned in the data element is getting displayed. As, the data element is same for two fields, its difficult to find out which particular field is changed. Is there any way to display table field name instead of field label from data element?
2. Sometime, even there is change in the data record, I'm able to see a log record in the change log with caption 'Data record unchanged'. What might be the problem and how to resolve?
Thanks in Advance,
Siva Sankar.

Hi Moha Nan,
You just use ABAP to change the table P? In this way I think it is not change to X table.
You can upload master data to add navigation,it is a good way to bulid the SID of P table and X
table .
Hope it is help to you!

Material bapi custom field change to be logged in change document

Hello all,
I have just added a custom field to MARA table (materials), and updated it successfully via BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
I would like now to log changes via change documents but problem : after having changed value from "A" to "B" for example, I don't see the changes (to do this, I call function CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ with parameter OBJECTCLASS = "MATERIAL" and get results from returned EDITPOS parameter).
What is surprising me is that I can see changes of other standard and custom fields (this was done by other people in my company 2 years before but I don't have any trace what they did).
Do you have any idea what customizing need to be changed or what else need to be done, to log changes of new custom fields into change documents?
Thanks a lot.
sandra

In this transaction, there is nothing related to fields; there are only objects (like MATERIAL) and tables (like MARA).
I can't see anything which makes the difference between our 2 custom fields MARA-ZZCOLLANA (which is logged in change documents) and MARA-ZZSSCOLL (which is not logged in change documents).
For info, my SAP version is R/3 46C.
