Change pointers not getting generated for new customers

Former Member

Hi

I am facing a problem with DEBMAS msg type as it refers to change pointer objects - i.e when I create customers - I do not see the change pointers information being logged in the change pointer tables. However, I do see change pointer information when I update existing customers.

What am I missing here ?

I appreciate your quick response to this - as this is a very critical issue. Solutions will be rewarded right away with points.

Thanks in advance for your time...

I think the purpose of change pointers to avoid to sending the whole customer in an Idoc over and over again. So only the delta changes are recorded in the chnage pointers and in the Idoc.

If you create a new customer, I wouldn't expect any change pointer, however I would expect an Idoc generated with the whole data.

Can you check the generated Idocs?

Hi

The problem I am describing above is happening with a ZDEBMAS that I created with a reduced set of table and field definitions - I created this message type -BD52 and activated it using BD50 - however I do not see change pointer entries being created under this Z* message type for customer create action -

However change pointers do get recorded for the std DEBMAS with customer creation action.

What configuration I am missing in ZDEBMAS to make change pointers register for customer create action ? Please help ....

Hi Karthik,

Just check what fields are set for generating change pointers BD52. These fields are to be configured for the Z message type.

Hi Sailesh

I have included a limited set of fields from four customer master tables in my ZDEBMAS defn. KNA1-KUNNR is one among them. I have also ensured that other KNA1 fields that I am tracking - are given values when the new customer is created....

Hi Karthik,

If everything is fine then it should work. Not able to understand where it is wrong. But have you tried checking the change objects in tables CDHDR & CDPOS and also in BDCP & BDCPV tables?

I know that is a kind of uncertain doubt. just throwing a stone in dark.
