How Change pointers are updated?

Former Member — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:16:40 GMT

I have activated the change pointers for MATMAS. I changed e.g. 10 materials and created idoc for 5 materials by running BD10. How does the system know now only 5 are remaining for creating IDOC?

Also what is the best place for submitting RBDSMET as soon as user saves/creates any material using MM01/2

I found EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001, but is the material saved at this point of time?

Thanks in advance

Hello Sanjane,

It depends on the fields mentioned in the transaction BD52, whenever any change occurs in the list of fields mentioned in BD52, those changes are recorded in tables BDCP, BDCPS, CDHDR, CDPOS. So, whenever you execute BD21 (Change Pointer tcode) or program RBDMIDOC, it picks the data from these tables and sends the IDocs.

About the second question, it is not suggestible to use user-exit to dispatch the master IDocs. Schedule the program RBDMIDOC in the background, for daily basis or how often you require.

PROCESS Field in BDCP2 table will tell you that, if its X the IDOC is alredy generated for that change pointer

Submit RBDMIDOC periodically each 10/15 minutes its not possible real time

Thanks for your response. I dont see however BDCP2 table has any entries. Is there any other table for that?

Check BDCPS-PROCESS Field

If its X then Change pointer is already processes if its blank its not processed and IDOC would begenerated for that.

BDCP2 table was introduced by SAP for efficient change pointer storage, You can customize which table to use with table view V_TBDA2X.
