Change Pointers

Former Member — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:48:29 GMT

Hi,

We are updating an infotype record(PAXXXX) using BADI in background depending upon some conditions in another Infotype. Since we are doing this in background the change pointer is not generated.

Could you please let me know how to generate Change Pointers through program? So that once the database table is updated I could generate Change Pointer and the Idoc would capture that automatically.

Many Thanks,

Sri

Hi Arunsri,

How are doing the update? SAP recommends no tto do it directly on the table, most especially in HR infotypes . So you could use an standar function module like HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. I haven't tested, but is more likely that it activates the change pointers.
