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.

IDOC trigger using Z change pointers for standard SAP table

For IDOC trigger, is using custom change pointers on standard SAP master data tables, a good idea? A seasoned abaper told me "it will mess with the standard" and further told to go with scheduled job.
So, for example, say that my data for table T001K is updated via transports in PRD and I need to transfer this updated data via IDOC to an external system. Since there is no standard message type for this data, I will create a new one. Further, I will create a new change pointer for table T001K (it already has six fields with their data elements activated for Change Documents). Then I link the message type and the new change pointer. And so on an so forth. I have followed the procedure given here:SAP Tips: A to Z of Custom Change Pointer
Now, the question is, will this be a good idea to capture data and trigger IDOC? Or a batch program with calls to standard FM to read CDHRD/CDPOS be a more suitable option.
I need to know if a near instantaneous data transfer (and an effecient one as far as the system performance and reliability is concerned) can be acheived. If there is any other way of doing this, I am not aware of it!
Any one has any input/experience on this?

Hi Viktor,
I think the batch program approach would be a good solution as the by this way you are taking matter into your own hands rather giving control to the SAP framework because you may have to test out the other approach as to how the standard SAP framework is behaving for custom change pointers.
Thanks,

CSKS, KS02 change pointers for Z fields

Hi,
I have extended CSKS with new Z fields. Also ALE'ed this to other SAP system.
But this is not creating any change pointers for this new z fields.
The changes are tagged in CDHDR, but not into BDCP2 table. Is there any settings
which needs to be done by which it will create CP automatically when we change Z fields
in KS02.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Manohar

Found solution with BD52 tcode.
Thanks

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.

Change pointers for custom message type

Hi All,
Please help me with questions.
1. The requirement is to add two additional fields to CSCK table and then activate change pointers for COSMAS. My question is when I activate the change pointers for COSMAS will it send this two z fields when there is a change?
2. I dont see a message type in BD50 for a standard IDOC Internal_order? Can I add that standard message type? How can I do this? WIll this create an IDOC when ever there is a change in data?
Thanks.

Hello Oscar,
1. Which changes should be relevant for creation of COSMAS-IDoc, you have to define in BD52.
2. You need to define INTERNAL_ORDER in WE20. In BD64 you add BAPI "InternalOrder.SaveReplica", filters can be added.
Best Regards, Dirk

How to create change pointers for IT6 when custom table Z777A changes?

Situation: We are using custom table Z777A (copied T777A and added fields) to store building locations. Employee's IT6 subtype 92 retrieves valid work address building locations from table Z777A.
Problem: Whenever there are updates to Z777A, we need to find all IT6 subtype 92 records that use the changed building location from Z777A and create IDOC's The change pointer entry will need to be for the IT6 subtype 92 row that is affected.
Question: Can anyone give me specific details as to how this can be accomplished? Thanks.

Hi,
MASTER DATA CHANGES DISTRIBUTION BY CHANGE POINTER TECHNIQUE:
Step 1: Creating change document object in SCDO transaction.
Step 2:Assigning tables to the change document object.
Step 3:Specifying change document items in transaction BD52.
Step 4: Activating change pointers for the message type HRMD_ABA in transaction BD50.
Step 5:Activating change pointers globally.
Step 6:Executing program RBDMIDOC in SE38, Specifying message type HRMD_ABA.

How to implement Change pointers for Purchase order - ME22N - Custom Fields

Hi Experts,
Can you please tell me how to implement - Change Pointer for Custom fields in IDOC.
I am working on IDOC - For purchase order - acknowledgements - in custom screen/tab in ME22N.
Everything is working fine according to my requirement.
All i need to know is the process of - Creating/Change - Change pointers for Custom fields.
1.How to implement change pointers for custom fields.
2.Can we maintain - Change Document - for custom fields at data element level?
P.S. - I have browsed many previous - forums before posting a new discussion.
please share your inputs...
explaining how to create/implement - change pointers for custom fields will help me .
Regards,
Karthik Rali.

Hi,
To maintain Change Document for custom field:
1. Check if "Change document" checkbox is set in data element.
2. Find Change Document Object for transaction.
   You can use SQL trace - ST05.
   Look there for line with table CDHDR and statement insert values
   (for example for transaction KA02 Change Document Object is KSTAR)
3. Regenerate update program for this Change Document Object in transaction SCDO
Change documents for z-fields schould be generated.
I am not sure about change pointers but they are configured somehow in BD61 and BD50.

Avoiding change pointers for data with status planned

Hi,
we have to distribute HCM-data, standard infotypes and customer infotypes, into other SAP sytems. One of the receiving systems must not get data with the status planned (istat = 2).
Which would be the best way to avoid planned data in the receiving system? Is it possible to avoid creating change pointers for planned data in the delivering system or have I to delete the planned data in the receiving system while processing the idocs via user-exit?
Best regards
Stefan

Dear Stefan,
You can create the change pointers manually from the IDOC data (e.g.with FM CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE) during the inbound processing within of the customer-exits of enhancement RHALE001 or within an own BAdI implementation of BAdI HRALE00INBOUND_IDOC.
Or else you can use method IDOC_DATA_FOR_RECEIVER_MODIFY of BAdI HRALE00OUTBOUND_IDOC. In this case please make sure that note 1292241 is implemented.
Hope it helps,
Christine

Why change pointers for master data, why not change message?

Hi Gurus,
I have one doubt about Idoc.
When changes to master data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of the transaction data change change idoc is used as is the case with orders (we use ORDCHG for ORDERS message type to send the chnage details to a order which was already sent to other system.
Why we can't use change idoc or message type whatever, instead of Chnage pointers in case of master data or vice versa in case of transaction data.
Your valuable input will be rewarded with suitable points!!
-B S B.

Change pointers are getting stored in the tables BDCP and BDCPS. As SAP suggests these tables should be as small as possible. And Master data are not much frequently changed data.
As you compare with the transactional data, you need to change them many times in the real scenario. If we also process the transaction data via chnage pointer, these changes BDCP is getting more and more entries.
RBDCPCLR is the program used to process the change pointer. If you have much data in the BDCP table, this program will take much time to run.
So, we use the change pointers for the master data only.

Naimesh Patel

Change Pointers for Vendor Master

Hi All,
I have to activate change pointers for Vendor Master data. I have some doubts regarding the same.
1. An Idoc will be generated for newly created vendor, right?
2. If I extend the vendor master IDOC, where should I write code to extract the values of newly added fields?
3. If I create a custom IDOC for vendor master, what is the procedure to configure this in the change pointers for Vendor Master?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
1. Afer doing all the settings required to create change pointers (BD61, BD50, BD52), the idocs will be created when u run the report RBDMIDOC or execute transaction BD21.if any changes happen in master data
like new vendor is created or vendor data is changed, then only change pointers will be created and on executing the aforesaid report, idocs will be generated.
Also idocs can be generated by replicating vendor data through transaction BD14 or any other custom transaction.
2. When you add custom segments to basic type, you have to write code in suitable user exits.
Identify suitable user exit to populate data in custom segments and write the code in oubound side.
Identify suitable user exit to populate the values in custom segments to database table, this code is to be written in inbound side.

Activate Change pointers for TREX classification search for Business Objects

Hey all...
Does anyone out here has any idea on how to activate the change pointers for TREX classification search for business objects: - for me I am specifically doing it for Materials and Customers.
Okay, let me explain the issue: -
For TREX search, we need to schedule a background job for Delta Indexing. But Alas! Delta indexing does not capture the changes to Classification data of the business object.
For this we activated the change documents for the particular class in the customizing. But to my surprise, change documents and change pointers for TREX are entrirely different.
How do I know:
Change ID of CDHDR does not correspond to Change pointer in table COM_SE_CPOINTER. Now by activating the change documents I am getting entry in CDHDR and CDPOS but the mentioned change pointer table still does not get the entry.
I searched for BTEs and I got the below: -
Now to me the very obvious one was 4003, but it is not called while changing the classification data for materials. Ofcourse I activated the Product and the function module.
and now I am stuck!!
Any pointers for the Change pointers would be really appreciated??
Please share your knowledge even if you don't know the exact answer . I am new to TREX so possibly vague conversations could provide me a hint .
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Shreya

Hi Guys,
This issue was solved by implementing the BTE 4005 (OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00004005_E). This particular event is triggered in the update task for saving changes to business object. So In my function module (corresponding to BTE), I have explicitly called the method to write an entry in COM_SE_CPOINTER, because we just need the reference of business object for which classification data is changed.
Please refer the below code for more clarity.
BTE position: -
method called in FM to write change pointer.
Thanks anyways, for all the responses.
Cheers,
Shreya

Activate change pointers for Z-idocs

Hi friends,
I've created a Z-idoc for some standard SAP tables (like TCJ1T, TCJ05 etc). I've written a function module which fetches all the data from the above-mentioned tables and pass it on to the idoc. So far so good.
Now the requirement is like, I need to pass only the updated records (insert/update/delete) in these tables to the idoc. I found that there are concepts like change document and change pointers assosciated with it. Again, the fields that I need to transfer in the above tables have their change document flag set. I've also created a Z-Object through SCDO to capture the changes. (I initially tried adding the tables in the standard object PROJ regenerated the programs, but the approach didn't work). The function modules generated through SCDO, i guess, have to be called somewhere, may be in an exit (I got an info in a previous question that it is never called automatically, but has to be called explicitly). The entries for most of the tables I'm working with are created via SPRO (which links to the Table Maintainence Generator for the above tables). I found that there are no user-exits for the transactions SPRO and SM30, to call these function modules in the first place.
Change pointers refer to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS, the tables which the change document updates (as found in the function module CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE). Now, how do I track the updates on these tables, since the change pointers itself is dependent on the change documents and I couldn't find a place to incorporate the function module call that would update the change document tables?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Anil Madhavan

Hi Anil,
In SM30 you have programmable events:
Environment -> Modification -> Events
Here's the link to documentation teaching how to create change documents:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2a/fa015b493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
I'm also trying to learn how to access the needed data in these SM30 events so that I can call the function to generate the change document with the right data in SM30
Let me know if this was useful.
Bye,
Nuno

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.

Our requirement is creating the ZZField and use this field to interface with legacy systems in the trnx FD02 and table KNB1.
