BD52- change pointer

Former Member — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:51:32 GMT

In BD52, we have a option for selecting the fields based on which the change pointers should be triggered

However it needs the following 2 details -

1. Object - how do i find this for a particular business process ( e.g. it is OK that for material i know that business object is MATERIAL...how do i find for others )

2. table name - here for say material object , if i need to activate the change pointer on MAKTX the table is DMAKT

where does this DMAKT come from? how do i find it ? cant i just use MAKT table instead

the object can be found using F4 search help

Technically, have a look into TBD62 table

Also see tables BDCP and BDCPS. For instance, if you have the relevant pointer in an internal table called I_BDCP, you can see the changes with this coding:


  select * from cdhdr
    into table i_cdhdr
    for all entries in i_bdcp
   where objectclas = i_bdcp-cdobjcl
     and objectid   = i_bdcp-cdobjid
     and changenr   = i_bdcp-cdchgno.


  select * from cdpos
    into table i_cdpos
    for all entries in i_bdcp
   where objectclas = i_bdcp-cdobjcl
     and objectid   = i_bdcp-cdobjid
     and changenr   = i_bdcp-cdchgno.

I hope this helps you

Regards

Eduardo

Run SCDO, try to match the description. Then you will find the corresponding object.

also from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/2a61f1507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/content.htm.

Then activate the change pointer and change the records. You will find table names from CDPOS Table.
