Creating Change pointer on Z Table

Former Member — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 14:14:45 GMT

Hi All

I just have an old Z Table where I have prices in it. No I like to have a COND_A Idoc created, when the table entries are changed. For this I need to have change pointer created.

How do I proceed?

1. You need to activate the change documents on the fields of the table. (SCDO transaction and also activate the change documents check box at the data element level).

2. Create a custom IDOC type and MESSAGE type for the fields that you want to send out.

3. Once this is done, you can write a program which will read the CDHDR and CDPOS tables to see if any change documents are generated for these fields and generate the IDOC.

OK, I added my table into transaction SCDO and I generated the update programs. I do not understand what you mean with activating the change documents on the data element level.... where is this?

After having done this, should I find an entry in CDHDR when changing the table?

Hi ,

You can find a check box at the bottom while defining data element.. You need to check that so that any change will be captured in cdhdr and cdpos tables.
