Change pointers!

Former Member — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 21:03:42 GMT

All,

I am having 3 interfaces which runs daily and which will read the change pointers tables for changes or new customers. It will create IDOCS of type DEBMAS06 and will send it to middleware.

Those interfaces will run at different times in the day. I just want to know...for an updated customer entry in change pointers table, if I process that using RBDMIDOC for one interface, will it mark that record in change pointers table as 'processed'?

Because, I have to run RBDMIDOC another 2 times during the day for processing the change pointers.

How does this work? Please suggest.

Thanks,

Naren

Yes! Once IDOCs are generated, RBDMIDOC flags the change pointers as processed. Anyways, after this if any new changes are made to the customer master then new change- pointers will be created and thereby it will be captured in the next batch run.

Hi Somen,

Report RBDMIDOC creates IDocs for the message type DEBMAS from the change pointers (BDCP and BDCPS tables) and sends them to the recipient systems, and flags the change pointers for this message type as processed.

The report tells you how many master and communication IDocs have been created.

Any changes to customer master again, the system will flag the change pointer as to be processed.

Hope this will help.
