Change pointer doubt?

[Former Member]

Hi..

I have implemented change pointer for my material master data and send it across to a partner.

1) I have activated the change pointer globally (BD61)as well as in the the change pointer-message type (BD50) trnasaction.

2) I have also tested that whenever the changes are done in any material specific to my plant then the recds are getting updated in the table CDHDR and CDPOS.

3) Now The only remaining thing is that I need to schedule the program RBDMIDOC(BD21).

Please correct me at any point of time if I am wrong.

I just want to confirm it before completely implementing the concept.

Thank you.

Hi,

If the changes are recorded properly in CDHDR and CDPOS, then you`re on the right track. Also check tables BDCP and BDCPS.

Apart from that your activation of change pointers are absolutely right. Now go ahead and you`re on ur way.

Reward if info . is helpful.

Not yet my server is slowed down...but your answer was very helpful...

Can I use the same message type as the one that I am using to distribute material master?

Or

Do I need to cerate a new message type/idoc type in my case.?

Thank You

Hi,

With existing IDOC type you can activate change pointers .new message type is not required.

if you activate the change pointers , then field changes will be stored in CDPOS and CDHDR tables according to the BDCP table entries, to pick up these changes and to generate IDOC you need to run the program RBDMIDOC.

check steps :

1.Go to the Data Element of the field and check whether change doucment option is checked or not .

2.change the value of the field and check the entries in CDHDR and CDPOS.here u can check the change document object and table .

3.check BDCP table also incase of ALE.The program RBDMIDOC generates IDOc when there is an entry in BDCP.

if not check the following config

1.BD61- change pointers activated -generally

2.BD50 -Activate change pointers for ur message type

3.BD52 - add the triggering fields and corresponding tables and change document object.

Please check the entries in BDCP table ,if u find the entries execute the program RBDMIDOC
