Regarding change pointers..

can naybody plzz tell me whether SMD(Shared master data) Tool is run in background through the change interface service.. or we have access to this tool which will then create change pointers?

Hi Gaurav,
SMD would be running in the background when you activate the change pointers for the needed message type.
Thanks in advance.

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

Regarding change pointers for HRMD_A

Hi Abapers,
I need to distribute changes to HR master data to a middleware system. hence i have activated the change pointers for the message type: HRMD_A. now my idoc is populating the infotype segments whenever it is changed with all fields.
But a particular change (on an infotype) should be sent individually in two different runs of RBDMIDOC run to the middleware. Ex: Vendor A needs changes to be sent to it on a weekly basis whereas Vendor B needs changes to be sent to it on a biweekly basis. When an employee X has a change on infotype 2, this change should be sent to middleware in both instances separately in different IDOCS at different times when RBDMIDOC program is run (by capturing change pointers pertinent to the message type of the particular vendor).
What are the changes required for ALE config.? Do i need to create a new message type for vendor B and configure. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi sudarshan,
Yuo need to create Z program to trigger IDOC.
As you need to set read status of change pointer as X after yuo send it to both system.
So you need to create Z table to keep track of this whether you have send to sys a or Sys B..
If you willl not update read status in will cause performance prob.
Hope this helps.

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.

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

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 triggering problem for vendor bank details

Hi,
I have configured change pointers for vendor master data. IF I change already existing bank account then that account is coming with deletion indicator and it is picking all other bank details with resend indicator. But if only new account added then idoc is not creating. At the same time entry in table BDCPV also not creating.
Is there any solution to create idoc if new accounts created.
Note: I am not changing any other information except bank details.
Thanks in advance.

Sudhakar

hi ,
How are you changing the information either via direct table update or Bdc, change pointers will be created only if you do transcation it means Bdc
i guess.

Business Partner Change Pointers

Hi,
Currently when Business Partner is created. Change pointers are also created. Does anybody know the process to switch of these change pointers from being created.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
As I said, if you are creating business partners using the transaction BP then its not possible to switchoff the change documents.
If the APIs, function modules or the BAPIs such as 'BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA are being used then the change documents can be switched off by calling the module BUPA_SUPPRESS_CHANGE_DOCS.

Sudheer.

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

Query for Outbound Processing through change pointers

Hi,
I have a reduced Message type for HRMD_A07, for which change pointers are activated. So whenver the changes are tracked, it sends all the changes into 1 IDOC. My requirement is to send Employee wise single IDOC, rather than collection of all the changes at once.
Any inputs would be helpful.
Regards,
Heena

Hi
Since change pointers are specific to the fields based on the change documents for that so i dont think that you may get the Idoc details based on the emplyee.
1.To get the desired ouput we have to either schedule the program RBDMIDOC for lesser intervals of time so that it can collect the data regularly.
2.Based on the chages updated in CDHDR or CDPOS we have to update the details in the user exits for the outbound process code.
3.Else you collect the changes from CDHDR and CDPOS employee wise and manullay populate the idoc.
Thanks & Regards

PU12 or Change Pointers - which is better

Hi all,
Our Req is to track the changes in the infotype records which are valid as of today. The Receiver system would hold only one record at any point of time and it is valid as of today. But the sender system (SAP) may have Future or Past dated records.
Our approach for this would be using PU12 or Change Pointers.
If anyone of you worked with Change Pointers and/or PU12 for building interfaces from SAP to external systems using XI (proxy class calls), pls respond with the following queries.
--> Which one of these is a better approach?
--> In case of Change Pointers, how have you tracked and exported future dated and active back dated changes to the external interface.
--> Did you face any limitations with PU12/ Change Pointers approach.
Any help regarding this would be of great help.
Regatds,
Teja.

I don't know what PU12 do, but change pointer used to distribute only Master data.. Change pointer only generate an Idoc only for the changed fields rather for all the fields in idoc type..

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

Change pointers

HI All,
Can you guys plz help me on change pointers.
I have activated change pointers for CREMAS and I am running program RBDMIDOC in background. But it is generating idocs properly when ever vendor is created or changed.
Change pointer is triggering for all vendors when ever vendor is created or changed.
Here my problem is that i don't want to generate all idocs i want to generate idocs for some specifi vendors only (Here we are having different types of vendors depend upon Account group.)
How can I generate specific venodr Idocs using change pointers.
Thanks & Regards
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
There are two filtering in IDoc.
Segment Filtering:
Segment filtering can be achieved using T/Code BD56. Here you can suppress a whole segment irrespective of data inside it . You have to give Message Type / Sender Prrtner / Receiver Partner.
Data Filtering:
Data filtering can be done in dustribution model where you can restrict whole IDOCS or partials IDOCS to be send based on data in fields inside IDOC depending on whether the segment in which you filter is at the highest level or at a lower level. For example in MATMAS if you put a filter of E1MARCM for a particular plant , only data for this plant will go and other plants will be ignored.
For your case, you can use segment filter to send only to specific vendor(s).
Please check this link for detail information.
