What is chang pointer

hi
what is change pointer
could u plz explain clearly

Hi,
Change pointers are the mechanism through which you can send data to another SAP system or external system if there is a change happening to specific fields of master data.
Change Pointer (Master Data Distribution)
Purpose
If you want to distribute master data changes with the SMD tool (Shared Master Data), changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by change pointers ( ® Master Data Distribution).
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.

do the following steps for Change pointers ::
1) Tcode BD61---> check the change pointers activated check box
save and goback.
2) Tcode BD50---> check the MATMAS check box save and comeback.
3) Tcode BD51---> goto IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 select the checkbox save and comeback.
4) Tcode BD52---> give message type : matmas press ok button.
select all what ever you want and delete remaining fields.
save & come back.
5) 5) go to Tcode MM02 select one material and try to change the description and save it
it will effects the target systems material desciption will also changes
6) goto Tcode SE38 give program Name is : RBDMIDOC and Execute
give Message type : MATMAS and Executte

What is change pointer in ALE ?

Dear Guru,
1. What is change pointer in ALE and how to configure it ?
The process of configure please guide me !
Tanks and Regards,
Subash.

Hi,
Change pointers are R/3 objects that mark changes to SAP master data. Change pointers are managed by mechanisms in a Shared Master Data (SMD) tool and are based on Change Document (CD) objects. CD objects record the changes occurring to master data at a field level. These changes are stored in tables CDHDR (header table) and CDPOS (detail table). ALE configuration provides a link between CD objects and change pointers. Internal mechanisms update tables BDCP and BDCPS, which host the change pointers. While CD objects are application-data-specific, the processing status of change pointers is message-type-specific. Also, the ALE change pointers are activated first at a general level and then at the message-type level.
ALE provides powerful capabilities to capture changes occurring to master data and to distribute them via the IDOC interface. This feature can be used to keep two or more systems synchronized with respect to master data.
Steps to configure change Pointers:
1.Activate the change pointers globally(BD61)
2.Activate the change pointers for individual message types(BD50)
3.Schedule the program RBDMIDOC to run periodically on the sending system.
To Delete Change pointers use transaction BD22 and the standard program is RBDCPCLR
Remember You can see a check box in Further characteristics tab of the data element ( se11>enter data element>Further characteristics tab) for change document.
This check box is to bo checked to trigger change pointers.

Change Pointer RBDMIDOC in SRM Replication

Hi Experts ,
We have ECC 6.04 with SRM7.0. We replicated HR Org Structure from ECC to SRM.
Out of 10000 Employee , only 2000 Employee will sue SRM, So I wish to replicate only 1500 Employee as initial upload from ECC by eopy paste from EXCEL in PFAL selection screen. That is okay.
For changes & Delta , I will schedule Chnage Pointer RBDMIDOC in SRM.
1) My doubt is exatly what this Change Pointer will replicate to SRM (with matching to Filter setting ).... out of below ?
1. Changes to already replicated Employees in SRM
2. New created Employees after initial replication
3. Remainning Employees in initial replication as well ( i.e. 13000 )?
Is all these 3 cases will replicate to SRM ?
2) In case of change of one field value, will system send only that Value in IDoC or all the date of Employee again ?
Please suggest
Thanks

Hello sranjna ,
These are the steps for change pointer :
1. BD61 :Activate change pointer generally .
2. BD50 :Activate change pointer for message type.
3. BD21 :Create IDOC type from change pointers.
4.Save the content : create a variant .
5.For automatically process:go to SM36 :Create a job with the program "RBDMIDOC " and the variant you created.
Also see the link if you want :

What is the use of change pointer technique in IDOC

hi
could anybody suggest me
what is the use of change pointer technique and how to use it
thank you
kalyan.

Change pointers are used for changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by SMD Tool.i.e.shared Master Data.
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
You can increase the rate of processing by using the Analyze Change Pointer and Reorganize Change Pointer functions.

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Segments:
Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease. A segment definition is the release-specific name of a segment.
Steps in creating Segments:
T.Code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the create icon.
Type the Short text.
Enter the variable names and data elements.
Save and Go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Repeat the steps to create more segments.
IDOC TYPE:
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
IDoc types (Special Structures) An IDoc type is defined through its permitted segments. Segments can be dependent on each other (parent and child segments). The IDoc interface can check for each IDoc whether thhe segments contained are compatible with thhe definitiion of its type. This systax check is activated or deactivated in the Partner Profiles.
Steps in creating IDoc Type:
T.Code WE30 to create IDoc Type.
Enter the Object Name, Select Basic Type and click Create Icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDoc name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDoc editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation.
Save it and go back.
Go to Edit -> Set Release.
Message Type:
Steps in Creating Message Type:
T.Code WE81.
change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type:
T.Code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to change mode.
After selection, the system will give this message "The table is cross client (See help for further info)". Press enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back.

What is meant by change pointer and change request

hi,
what is meant by change pointer and change request in sap r3
plz can u any one notes or link on this , or if possible briefly tell about this..
i am looking for clear idea on this..
thanks
Ruban

With respect to Dictionary Change pointers means all the changes done to dictionary objects.
All the change logs with respect to tables are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS table
Change Pointers in broad sense are used with respect to IDOC
Change Pointers & Reduction of IDOCs.
Applications, which write change documents, will also try to write change
pointers for ALE operations. These are log entries to remember all modified
data records relevant for ALE.
Following Steps must be followed in case of Change Pointer.
1) Goto Transaction BD60.
Note down the Details of the Message Type for which change pointer has to activate. Details like Function Module, Classification Object, ALE object Type etc.
E.g. ZDEBP3
2) Next step is goto transaction BD53
Click on change button.
First select the segment for which the fields has to modified (either remove or
add ).
It will show the fields in a pop-up window where the user can select, deselect the respective fields.
Save the settings for the Message type. Dont forget to activate the change pointers by clicking Activate Change pointers button on the main screen.
3) Once the activation is done system will reset the settings for the Message type in Change pointers (BD60). Maintained the old settings for the Message type.
Check this FAQ
. Do you really need change pointers?
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61.
2. Do you really need to activate change pointers for this messages type?
If some messages types are no longer to be distributed by change pointers, you can deactivate change pointers for this messages type.
You can deactivate change pointers for the message type
and reactivate them again.
For reduced message types, deactivate the change pointer with the
Reduction tool (transaction BD53).
3. Are there still too many change pointers to be processed?
The change pointers are analyzed with the transaction BD21 or the report RBDMIDOC in ALE and flagged as processed. If the change pointers are created periodically, this report should also run periodically.
4. Are no longer required change pointers reorganized in time?
The report RBDCPCLR (transaction BD22) to reorganize the change pointer should run periodically. Depending on how many change pointers are created or processed, you can schedule the background job hourly, daily or weekly. You should delete all obsolete and processed change pointers. You can also use this report for specified message types.
We come across change pointer technique while dealing with master data distribution thru ALE/IDOCs
When we want to reflect changes made to master data(i.e customer master, vendor master, material master ...) visible to other clients listed in customer distribution model, we follow change pointer technique.
What is customer distribution model?
A customer model depicts various messages (master data, transactional data) exchanged between the systems and establishes a sender and receiver of data
A customer model is always maintained on any system for the entire distributed network of SAP systems, so it must be distributed to various systems in the distributed network.
These r some details regarding change pointer technique which u may find it usefull.............
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master, vendor master & sales orders. changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CHDHR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for changes relevant to ALE. BDCPS table stores the status of changed documents processed or not.
The process for distributing master data using change pointers involves the following steps.
The application writes change documents. SAP maintains change documents for
several objects in the system, such as materials, customers, invoices, and bank data, to provide an audit trail for changes made to an object. A change document object represents a set of tables for which changes are recorded. For example, the change document for the material master is named MATERIAL and it contains the various tables of the material master object, such as MARA and MARC.
When an application transaction makes changes to an object, the application writes change documents, which are stored in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables for each change made to an object.
Tip
Execute transaction SCDO to see a list of change document objects and
their tables.
The SMD (Shared Master Data) tool writes change pointers. When changes are made to an object, the SMD tool checks the ALE settings and consults the ALE distribution model to determine whether a receiver is interested in the object that was changed. If the system finds an appropriate receiver, the system creates change pointers in the BDCP table that point to change documents in the CDHDR table.
The ALE programs analyze change pointers and generate IDocs. SAP provides
standard function modules that read the change pointer table and generate IDocs for the objects that were changed. These programs are designed to ignore multiple changes and create only one IDoc. For example, if a material is changed four times before the function module is invoked, only one IDoc with the latest data from the material master data is created. The function modules are invoked by a standard report, RBDMIDOC. The selection parameters of this report allow you to specify the message type for which change pointers are to be analyzed. Configuration
you must carry out the following configuration steps to enable master data
distribution based on changes to the object.
Step 1: Enable Change Pointers Globally
Transaction: BD61
This option enables the change pointer process globally. Make sure that the flag is checked.
Step 2 :Enable Change Pointers for a Message Type
Transaction: BD50
This setting is required for activating change pointers for a specific message type.
make sure that the Active flag is checked for your message type.
Step 3 :Specify the Fields for Which Change Pointers Are to Be Written
Transaction: BD52
For standard master data objects such as the material, customer, and vendor objects, SAP already provides a list of fields for which change pointers are written. If you are satisfied with the standard set of fields, you can skip this step. If you want to add new fields, you must add entries for the required fields. If you are not interested in IDocs being generated for changes to a particular field, you can remove it from the list. For example, if you do not want to distribute the
material master for changes made to the Catalog Profile (RBNRM) field, you can delete this entry from the table.
Step 4: Changing a Field in the Master Data
Change a field in the master data object for which the change pointer is enabled. For example, if you change the net weight of a material in the material master data, a change pointer is written.
Tip : You can verify a change document and change pointer by viewing entries in
tables CDHDR and BDCP, respectively.
Step 5 :Executing Program RBDMIDOC to Process Change Pointers
Execute program RBDMIDOC to initiate the process of generating an IDoc. On the selection screen, specify the message type. For example, you can specify MATMAS. After you execute the process, it displays the number of entries processed.
Note :
Normally, you schedule this program to run frequently and start IDoc
generation for different message types.
Step 6 : View the idocs in WE02/05

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

How can I audit what has changed in a document in SharePoint?

Hello everybody
I need to audit the changes in all documents of my SharePoint server. That is, who has changed what, in a document such as an excel file. I need to know who has changed the file and what changes he has done to the file. How can I audit this kind of information?
Is it possible to audit this kind of information through SharePoint? If not, is it possible to do this job with the Excel it self, that it distinguish the changes made by the members (for example highlight the cells with different colours for different users)?
Thank you

Hi ,
As Margriet points, we can open different version items and check what are changed after enabling list/library version history.

JWSDP and J2EE Integration: Doesn't work. What's the point?

My problems involve the integration of JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
It looks like a long one, but it�s really not that bad. All comments are appreciated.
I�ve numbered each line-paragraph-section for easy reference later.
(1) My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website that uses servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JDBC.
(2) I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
(3) On MyWebServer I installed the following:
Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP)
The JWSDP tutorial
Apache HTTP Server
(4) The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
j2sdkee-1_3_1-win.exe
jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
jwsdp-1_0-ea1_01-tutorial.zip
apache_1.3.23-win32-x86-no_src.exe
(5) After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
J2EE_HOME = c:\j2ee
JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\j2ee\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
(6) I checked to see that Apache is running as a service. It is.
On MyWebServer I start Tomcat and J2EE. Both start properly and are operating simultaneously.
(7) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1
This displays the page c:\ApacheHTTP\apache\htdocs\index.html.en (The Apache default server installation page.)
(8) I then enter this address in IE:
http://10.10.1.1:8080
This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html (The default JWSDP page).
(9) I then enter this address in IE:
http://10.10.1.1:8000
This displays the page c:\j2ee\public_html\index.html (The J2EE 1.3 Default Home Page).
(10) So far so good. Now I want to test JWSDP as a container for JSP pages.
(11) I use ant to build the converter app found in the tutorial examples (in folder c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs). I then deploy the converter app to the c:\jwsdp\webapps\gs folder.
(12) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
The converter app works perfectly.
(13) To eliminate the need to enter the port number, I create a link from the Apache default server installation page to the converter app. From MyClientPC and enter this address into IE:
http://10.10.1.1
I then click on the link to the converter app and it works perfectly.
(14) Question: Is this the best way to display JSP pages without having to enter the port number?
(15) Now it�s time to integrate JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
(16) After I complete this integration I cannot start both Tomcat and J2EE at the same time. This makes sense because they both share port 8080.
I start Tomcat.
(17) From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses. Everything works the same as it did before except this one:
http://10.10.1.1:8000
The page cannot be displayed. The J2EE default home page is not displayed, which makes sense because the J2EE port is no longer 8000; it has been changed to 8080.
(18) Now I shutdown Tomcat and start J2EE.
From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses:
(19) http://10.10.1.1:8080
Displays the JWSDP default home page.
(20) http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
The page cannot be displayed. The converter app no longer works.
(21) From MyWebServer and use Internet Explorer to test localhost:
http://localhost:8080
This displays the J2EE default home page.
(22) Question: Why does localhost give me a different page than the IP address?
(23) Question: What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
(24) I want to get the converter app working, so I create a .war file and attempt to add it to the J2EE deploytool (see the two integration documents listed above at section 15.) I create the .war file following the instructions in the JWSDP tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/WebApp3.html#64606
(25) I change to the c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs\build folder.
I then type:
jar cvf converter.war .
A .war file is created.
(26) I open the deploytool: File, New, Application, and I name it �converter�.
I attempt to add the .war file: File, Add to Application, Web WAR.
(27) When I attempt to add the converter.war file I get this error:
�converter.war does not appear to be a valid web JAR.�
I tried a few different attempts, all with the same result. I�m stuck.
(28) I ask again, What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
(29) If this is the preferred configuration, how do I display my JSP pages like the converter app?
Please help!!!

The JWSDP tutorial says to be in the �build� folder of the example when issuing the jar command to create the .war file. The build folder is created when I run the �ant build� command.
Attempt 1 from the command prompt in folder c:\jwsdp\tutorial\examples\gs\build>
I typed this command:
jar cvf c:\jaxmservices\converter.war .
In this case I directed the .war file to be placed in a different folder as you suggested. Here�s the output:
added manifest
adding: index.jsp(in = 921) (out= 525)(deflated 42%)
adding: WEB-INF/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
adding: WEB-INF/classes/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
adding: WEB-INF/classes/Converter.class(in = 582) (out= 358)(deflated 38%)
Didn�t work. Same error as before.
Attempt 2 from the same folder:
I typed this command as you suggested (I tried it with and without the final dot):
jar tvf converter.war
Here is the output:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: converter.war (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:185)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)
I tried a few other variations on these attempts with no luck. I�m stuck.
I�m attempting to create a .war file out of two files: index.jsp and converter.class.
Now that I�ve integrated JWSDP and J2EE, is there some other way that I can run the converter app instead of a .war file and the deploytool? In other words, if I go back to using ant to build and deploy converter, where would I deploy it so that it will work with J2EE?
By the way, it doesn�t have to be converter. I�d be happy if I could get any JSP page to work in J2EE after the integration.
Forever grateful,
Logan

How to find - Customer Master IDoc was created Manually or by Change pointe

Hi all,
I have an IDoc(Customer master) number (which I have taken from the payload in SXMB_MONI). I would like to know whether this has been created by a user manually(BD14) or by a change pointer.
Please help.
Cheers
danus

Hi Vardharajan,
Yes I agree with you. What I mean by IDoc created by change pointer is - 'IDoc generated because a change(pointer) is tracked by the system', in other words, due to some change made to the data.
As you know, the other option of creating IDoc is by BDxx transaction. This option is usually used to push (unchanged) data.
So in essence, what I am interested to know is , has the IDoc been generated because someone made a change using say, VD02 / XD02 or pushed the data manually.
Please do ask, if anything is not clear.
cheers

What setting changes are to be made??

I am adding some .c files to my MAC application(cocoa), I am getting a lot of errors while compiling those files.
What setting changes are to be made before adding C files to MAC OS project???
If so can anyone point out that...??
1. I am getting errors with the #include statements in my files...
2. expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'asn_DEF_Payload'
How can I get around these list of errors??
Thanks in advance.

Sun Java Enterprise System Support Forum and the Directory Server's "Release Notes" [See docs.sun.com] is a good place to find this information. Also upgrade to the latest DS5.2 Patch 4.
One probable cause could be that either the BindDN or the SearchBase used by your application no longer exists in the upgraded server's setup. Please check the access log on the Directory server to pinpoint the culprit. The corresponding entry will have "err=32".
Examples:
SRCH base="dc=abc,dc=example,dc=com" ....
RESULT err=32 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
[Note: Tag 101 means the search base does not exist]
BIND dn="cn=user,dc=abc,dc=example,dc=com" ....
RESULT err=32 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0
[Note: Tag 97 means BindDN does not exist]
Based on your requirements, you will either have to add the missing entry or upgrade your applications' configuration to use an alternative entry.

Change pointer perfomance issue(bd22)

Hi,
we are using message type HRMD_A to transfer the employee change data using the program RBDMIDOC. we are checking two table BDCP n BDCPS, but because of large number of data we r facing a perfomance issue here. I read in one forum about transaction BD22 which deletes the change pointer from these tables, but is it safe to use? and also what is the obsolete change pointer?
Thanks in advance for ur inputs.

Hey,
It is advisable to reorganize change pointer tables at regular intervals for better performance of programs accessing the BDCP* tables.
BD22 is a standard report delivered by SAP and it is absolutely safe to run this report. It also has o test run option. You could always run the report in test mode to analyze the data the report had selected for deletion.
Obsolete change pointers are those which have been created up to the specified date and time. In BD22, if this checkbox is marked, obsolete change pointers will be reorganized regardless of whether they have yet been processed.
Processed change pointers are those which have been processed in the specified period (date and time). If this checkbox is marked, the processed change pointers are reorganized.

Backed up ipod to the cloud (12/25 11am) and then updated. Music is gone and the back up is not restoring?! why? What's the point of the cloud if nothing is there?

Ipod has been playing music in my car the past two years. new computer this year and new email address. Backed up to cloud. change ID on itunes. Music on my ipod disappeared. Shouldn't it be on the cloud somewhere?! What's the point of this cloud? And is it b/c I can't seem to change my icloud ID to the new one on my ipod settings?

Music is not stored in your personal iCloud account, or in your device backup. Music purchased from the iTunes store is in available for redownload as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. Music from other sources such as your CDs should be in your iTunes library on your computer and can be synced back to your iPod from there.
To change the iCloud account on your device you have to delete the exsting account, then sign back into the new ID.

How to set a change pointer for a perticular table?

Hi,
Please let me know how to set a change pointer for a perticular table.

what do you mean by 'change pointer'? normally this idiom is used for sending ÍDOCs from one system/client/org-unit to another ...
do you generally want to record changes to a specific table? then set parameter rec/client using RZ10 for your instance profiles and restart the instances in order for the parameter to take effect.
set the table to 'record all changes' using SE11.
you might re-consider if the table has a lot of data and is accessed very often for performance-resons.
change protocols can be evaluated using tx, SCU3.

ALE/Change Pointer Configuration for ZSEGMENTS

Hello all,
I have been searching for a few days now trying to obtain my requirement with extending of an idoc. I am working with the following:
Message Type: HRMD_A
BASIC Type: HRMD_A06
Extension: ZHRMDA06
I extended the idoc because I wanted to include 2 extra infotypes which are not on that idoc. Infotypes 77 and 709.
Here is what I have completed so far.
WE30...Created ZSEGMENTS to include below.
WE31...Extended the HRMD_A idoc to include the ZSEGMENTS defined below.
WE82...Updated the output types and assignments to idoc.
BD61...Activate Change Pointers
BD50...Activated change pointer for HRMD_A.
I change the address field in infotype 0006.
Run the BD21...idoc is generated with the changes to address, everything looks good.
Do the same thing for the ethnic origin on infotype 77, no idoc is generated.
I turned on logging onto table PA0077.
I am evaluating the change logs via SCU3, and I am seeing my changes on the field.
What I have tried...
I have tried creating a object in t-code SCDO (ZTEST)
I have associated ZTEST with table/field PA0077-RACKY.
Tried running BD21...No iDoc generated.
I have been researching for a few days and it feels that this should be able to be done through configuration and not custom coding. Am I wrong to think that?
Has anyone ever did anything like this before which they can point to documentation or even the appropriate search criteria on the SCN forums.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jason

Hi Jason,
I believe you have to enter the fields that trigger the changing pointer in tcode BD52. In my case these are the fields for BOM:
