No change tracking inside of tables?

Morning.
I've written a document in Pages with a table containing cells with text in it. I've sent it to my co-worker. He has made a lot of changes in red-line mode and sent the file back to me. I've opened the document in Pages again. But in change track mode no changes are visible. So I've opened the file in Word 2004 and all changes are visible in change track mode.
Is there a bug in the change tracking?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

If it's not designed to track changes in tables then it's not a bug. It's a feature. Or a shortcoming.
The simple fact is that Pages doesn't track changes IN tables. It will track a deleted table, a moved table or a replaced table +in toto+ but not changes IN the table.

Change tracking on qualified table

Hi
We are using MDM 5.5 SP05. I want to track changes made to a field on a qualified table. I have enabled the track changes option on the console for a field with qualifier flag set to yes .Any changes I make to that field are not being recorded in the A2I_CM_History table. I m able to see records for the changes made to the main table record.
Is there some additional step required to track changes on the qualified table fields.
Regards,
Prashanta

If you working on MDM 5.5 SP03 and the field which you track for change is <b>Non-multilingual text fields</b> then you will have this problem. check this note

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. <u>The level of change tracking, and which tables/fields to track, are configurable in the MDM Console</u>. 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

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.

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

How to track changes in a custom table and based on that run an interface

I have an interface. The pre-condition for running the interface is "Run the interface only if there is new entry added to the table( a custom table). Now I have created a change document object using tcode SCDO for the custom table. Now how do i proceed further. Please tell me the steps which i need to follow to check if the custom table has been changed and also the entries changed before running the interface.

Hello,
SAP has provided many changes tracking related programs for Sales order, Vendor changes etc.
They all use the standard function Module
call function 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS'
call function 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS'
so with these you can get the changed records
Let me know if this helps you

Making parmanent changes to a internal table inside a user exit

Hi All,
I am having a User exit to which I am passing a structure as importing parameter.
The user exit is not exporting the same structure, but is exporting some other values.
My problem is that I want to make parmanent changes in the structure I am passing to the user exit.
Currently what is happening:
I am passing the structure to the user exit. It has got 6 rows. Inside the user exit I am making some changes to a particular field of all the rows. Till the program control is inside the user exit the changes in the structure are visible. As soon as the control come out of the user exit, the values for the field are switched to teh old values(values before passing to teh user exit).
My question is, is there any method to make changes to a internal table inside a user exit and these changes are visible outside it when the program control come out of the user exit. (This is when the internal table to which the change is made in not exported by the user exit)

Hi Dear,
Your changes done in import parameters will not reflect outside exit. You can only change the values of export parameters...
If you have very urgent requirement then make changes in SAP''s Standard code.
For your problem you can write to SAP. In many cases SAP provides the solution.

Changing date help icon inside a table

Dear Experts,
We changed the icon for Date help in the theme editor. In a web dynpro screen the changed image reflects for all date fields but not for the ones inside a table.
If there's a date field inside a table then the icon still shows the default imgage. We have tried to clear local as well as cluster cache and restart the protal but with no effect.
Please help in reolving this issue.

Change Tracking many tables

Hi,
I have a number of tables that are all related in some way or another. Lets say there are 20 tables in total here. I need to track changes as they all ultimately will need their changes sending to some other remote database.
Is it ok for me to use just a single change version, obtained at the beginning of my synchronisation code, within a SNAPSHOT transaction for every table I'm concerned about?
I would also need to validate the change version used before getting changes for each table using CHANGE_TRACKING_MIN_VALID_VERSION wouldn't I?
Once I have obtained all the changes for the 20 tables, then I would commit my transaction.
Regards

The thing is, there is a LOT of overhead to tracking many tables. It is a seductive idea, but you may not realize the full cost in complexity and overhead.
Have you looked at using replication instead? It's not that much cheaper, but it may at least be easier.
I think you are confusing Change Tracking with Change Data Capture. SDA is talking about the former.
I am not sure that I fully understand SDA's question, but, yes, a single snapshot transaction sounds right. (For Josh: Change Tracking is best used with snapshot isolation.) Particularly, if you want to retrieve changes that are consistent with each
other.
I am a little worrried abotu "single change version", since the version number for each table will be different. (Or at least they can be.)

Change Tracking Tables

HI Experts
I have a Scenario, where i need to Track Changes in SAP MDM for field level, as i enable Specific Fields for which i need to track in SAP MDM Console under Admin-> Chage Tracking.
But as i learnt, Changes will be stored in Database level. can any one help me in knowing the DatabseTables in SQL Server which holds the changes done to a field.
We are using SAP MDM 7.1, and on Databse is SQL SERVER
if any one worked on this Scenario, Please let me know the Step to Step Process.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sowseel

Hi Mandeep,
Thanks for the Simple blog link.
i enable change tracking for the Main Table, and i went to SQL and run the select command
"select [UserName],[EventTime],[TableName],[FieldName],[NewValue],[OldValue] from [MaterialMaster_Z000].[dbo].[A2i_CM_History]"
it gives me the result what i expected, with old values and new values. which is all good.
But the problem is here, where i enable change tracking for a Qualified Table Sales data for the field "Sales unit" which is a Qualifier. and when i change the value of that field in Data Manger,When i run SQL Command Result is some thing like this
User Name Time Table Field New Value Old Value
Admin 07/07/2010 09:41:32 AM Products Update Date 07/07/2010 04:11:31 GMT 01/06/2010 05:14:18 GMT
So, is that for Qulaified tables we can get only Updated Date and Time not the Value of the Field? is this how system behaves or there any work around to achieve it.
Can't we achieve the Change Tracking of updated Values of the Qulaified Table data in MDM 5.5 or 7.1.
Is this case is same, if i deploy Change Tracker Application in MDM 7.1? Qualified Table Fields value Changes can not be Tracked only the updated Time can be Tracked?
Note: I checked only in MDM 5.5 not yet in MDM 7.1.
Thanks

Warning: Full-text change tracking is currently enabled for table or indexed view 'fim.ObjectValueString'

Hi,
As per the FIM best practice guide, we are trying to disable full-text indexing on the FIM Service database, during the initial load using:
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [fim].[ObjectValueString] SET CHANGE_TRACKING = MANUAL
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [fim].[ObjectValueXml] SET CHANGE_TRACKING = MANUAL
However, we get the following warning:
Warning: Full-text change tracking is currently enabled for table or indexed view 'fim.ObjectValueString'
Does anyone know how we can solve this?
Regards,
SK

<Going through old threads>
This doesn't disable change tracking it merely sets it to manual.
The link below shows and explains the three settings (enabled, manual and disabled):

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
alex

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.

Mandeep Saini
