Change Pointer while deleting a record

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

My question is: Suppose that the change pointers have been enabled for cost center message type. The sender sent a set of cost center data to recx. Now one of those cost center records in sender is deleted; will that cost center in recx also get deleted?

Thanks in advance !

Hi Mridula..

Change pointer technique is meant for Synchronizing the Master data in ALE.

So when the Application transaction deletes the master data in the Sender system it will generate an idoc to Delete the Master data in Receving system also.

That should also be done automatically by another idoc, once the cost center records in sender is deleted.

HI,

Change pointer are trigger whenever changes made in the Master data in ALE.

So when cost center records in the Sender system it will generate an idoc to Delete the Master data in Receving system also.

Reward with points if helpful.

Hi All,

Thank you very much for your answers. I have the same understanding.

I have an issue though; in my sender a particulat cost center was deleted but it still exits in the recx. I checked first thing if the change pointers were enabled (tcodes BD61, BD50 and BD52. With respect to the cost center field in the idoc everything is enabled. So I am wondering why it dint get deleted in the recx.

all suggestions are welcome ! thanks a lot once again

One more addition:

I also found that there are no entries in BDCP table for the changes to table 'CSKS' (cost center master). Ideally there shd have been that change pointer in BDCP which was responsible for deletion of idoc in recx. But there are no entries.

Wondering why ? !!
