While working on enhancements in SAP CRM B2B Online store, there were complex requirements of sending product catalog data from SAP CRM to a third party interactive on-demo & on-device content app through flat file interfaces. The complexity arose from sending the delta changes in the product catalog header, items, characteristics, variants and texts. For any change made in the staging catalog, the catalog had to be replicated via TREX to the online store and the change captured and sent to the app. At this time, I investigated the various catalog tables where the new values are stored, the index IDs and the timestamps of replication and activation. In the below post, I summarized the tables I found useful in the development of the enhancement.
