rohit,

change pointer is a technique based on the change document technique which keep track of the changes made to the key document in sap.

BD61- enable change pointers globally.

BD50 - enable change pointers for message type.

BD52 - specify fields for which change pointers are to be written.

for creation and flow follow vasanth's reply.

Regards...

Arun.
