Hi

Change Pointers & Reduction of IDOCs.

Applications, which write change documents, will also try to write change

pointers for ALE operations. These are log entries to remember all modified

data records relevant for ALE.

Following Steps must be followed in case of Change Pointer.

1) Goto Transaction BD60.

Note down the Details of the Message Type for which change pointer has to activate. Details like Function Module, Classification Object, ALE object Type etc.

E.g. ZDEBP3

2) Next step is goto transaction BD53

Click on change button.

First select the segment for which the fields has to modified (either remove or

add ).

It will show the fields in a pop-up window where the user can select, deselect the respective fields.

Save the settings for the Message type. Don’t forget to activate the change pointers by clicking Activate Change pointers button on the main screen.

3) Once the activation is done system will reset the settings for the Message type in Change pointers (BD60). Maintained the old settings for the Message type.
