Disable Change Pointer to send Idocs to a specific destination

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are sending several Master data idocs to a couple of SAP systems. For one destination, we need to enable change pointers for those messages and send updates of any changes/ new data created.

However for the other destination, the ALE transfer is one time and is going to be scheduled on 'as needed' basis only. Since the change pointers are enabled, Idocs are going to be sent to both destinations and we dont want that.

Pls note that there are BADI like Idoc_Creation_check where we can disable Idoc creation based on destination, but that would mean that when the one time load is scheduled, no idocs will be sent. So we dont want to go that route. We can take off the partner profile config/ ALE model and configure it as required, but that would not be a good approach as well.

Please adivse if there is a method where we can disable Idocs (that are created due to change pointers alone !!) to a specific receiver.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Liz,

 ... However for the other destination, the ALE transfer is one time and is going to be scheduled on 'as needed' basis only ... 

I feel you can use the "Collect IDocs" output mode for this particular partner profile. (can be configured via WE20)

"As needed" you can process the collected IDocs by scheduling the program RSEOUT00.

Do you think there is a problem in this approach? If yes, please elaborate!

Hi Suhas,

Thanks for your reply. We did think about this. The sender system is Production and the client was not too happy to have Idocs in 'ready to be sent' status in Prod. And we are talking about maybe 2000 Idocs a day; so that makes it quite a huge number there over the year and so on. I am still researching whether there is any configuration that SAP has provided to overcome such a scenario; no luck so far.

Thanks, Liz
