change pointer

hi all

what is the concept of change pointer

[Former Member]

Change pointer is a related feature of business workflow that uses change documents to detect events. Change documents are created for some business processes so that all changes for that business process are captured.

Advantages

· Provides synchronous event detection

· Needs only one SAP modification for an adapter function module to handle all business processes

· Generally available for the Logistics module

· Has access to SAP change pointer information for the event detection process

· If change documents are already used for a business process, it needs only a minimal amount of work to detect an event

Disadvantages

· It is somewhat flexible, but the event detection placement cannot be changed since it is done by SAP

· It requires a solid understanding of change documents and the business workflow environment

· You must do an SAP modification to turn on the change document flag for an SAP data element

· Change pointer information in SAP may not be sufficient for the event detection process
