Hi,
You do not need to write a program to fill the IDOC data. SAP does that with standard code.
To setup the period job, look at point-3 of my previouse post. Choose the SPRO path
SPRO
----> Basic Component
----> Application link Enabling (ALE)
----> Modeling and Implementing Business Processes
----> Master Data Distribution
----> Replication of Modified Data
----> Creating IDocs from Change Pointers
In the above path first select "Define Variant".
- Then it will show you the screen line SE38 with program "RBDMIDOC" and 'variant' option selected.
- hit display button
- on the next screen enter variant name as "GLMAST" and hit create button.
- On the next screen, enter message type as "GLMAST". Hit attribute button on tool bar. Enter description like 'G/L account master data dist.' Hit save twice.
- Hit back button until you come back to SPRO screen.
Now you select Schedule job.
- Enter the job name as "ZGLMAST" and job class as "A".
- Not select "Step" button from toolbar.
- On the next screen. select 'ABAP program' button. Enter program name = 'RBDMIDOC' and select the variant 'GLMAST'.
- Check and save the step and come to the screen of schedule job again
- Now hit the button "start condition'.
- select 'immedaite'
- Check 'periodic job' checkbox
- hit 'period values' button
- On the 'period values' screen, select 'other perido'.
- Enter hours = '1'. ( this is just to define how ofter the job runs. The G/L account master data do not change frequently. You can also schedule to run the job based on Date / time with period value as dialy to run it every night. It is upto you how ofter you want this job to run )
- Check and save settings. Come to the first screen and save the job again.
******************************************************************************************
Since we have activate the change pointers ( step 1 & 2 in my previous post ), whenever a G/L master data is created or changed, it stores the data into change pointer tables. The batch job run at per it schedule. It check if there is any new data in these tables. If it finds data, then it triggers the idoc.
Since you have created distribution model, it sends the idoc to receiving system.
Let me know if you sill have any question.
Regards,
RS
