Change Pointers for HR Master Data

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I need to implement a Change Pointers to track the changes to HR master data like SSN,Address,Email,Phone,Qualifications

of an employee. i have activated BD61,BD50. But still iam not able to get any records in BDCP/BDCPS tables.

Is there any need to have HR functional configuration to activate these change pointers. I strongly feel that some SPRO

functional setting should activate for this.

Please tell me if anybody knows about this functional configuration.

Regards

Naveen

Hi,

In order to have records in BDCP/BDCPS tables you need to have entries in BD52 transaction code.. For this first you should know the change document in SCDO transaction code.... Please see whether entries are maintained in BD52 for the message type ..

Hi Nagraj,

No need to have entries in BD52, SCDO object,update function module generation.

Because i tried same scenario in sandbox, where i can able to generate change pointers in BDCP2, with out any records in CDHDR.

But same scenario in client server i am not able get records in BDCP/BDCP2 tables. I think there will be some functional config should on.

Anybody who worked on this please help me.

hI Naveen,

As you are using standard message type the values will be thre in BD52....i wanted you to cross check.... If you are using any custom fields then you need to add them in BD52... if the entries are there in BD52 defintely the records will be shown in BDCP/BDCPS... if the fileds for which change document is not checked then they won't come.. Please check the same..

You can check whether the field is considered for change pointer or not by using the "change document" check box under the characterstic of respective data element. If it is ticked then the change pointer will be generated for this otherwise not.

At data element level change document check box was checked.

this is due to problem in Customer Distribution Module cretion (BD64).

Thank you every body for their contributions.
