Message Type for Change pointers

[former_member295881]

Hello Experts,

I'm a rookie with Change pointer and Message Types but had to deal with them. For one of my interface I need to create a Message Type which I can use with FM 'CHANGE_POINTERS_READ'. After some research I've created a Message type using TCODE (WE-81). Then I used BD52 to add all the objects, tables and fields for change pointers. However, when I pass message type in FM 'CHANGE_POINTERS_READ' then it returns nothing. If I use another message type I FM returns list of changes done. Can somebody tell me if I'm missing something in creation of Message type or any other errors?

For reference here is my FM call.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Get all changed customers
   call function 'CHANGE_POINTERS_READ'
     exporting
       message_type                = p_msgtyp (I created but doesn't return any changes, However using some other message types I do get all the changes)
       read_not_processed_pointers = c_x
     tables
       change_pointers             = i_change_ptrs
     exceptions
       others                      = 3.

   if sy-subrc ne 0.
*- An Unknown Error Occurred While Reading the Change Pointers.
     message e012.
   endif.

Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks for both of you. I've activated my message type but still no luck (refer to the attached). Any more suggestions?
