Change documents

[Former Member]

When ever a customer is created/changed an entry is getting created in change documents table (CDHDR) but not change pointers table (BDCP). Any ideas?

Thanks,

CDHDR and CDPOS are the tables for tracking changed document information in SAP tables.

Most applications write change documents. These are primarily log entries in the tables

Change pointers are log entries to table BDCP which are written every time a transaction modifies certain fields. The change pointers are designed for ALE distribution

hi,

CDHDR and CDPOS are updated only for those tables, where log data changes checkbox is checked. This can be found in technical settings of the table.

Change pointers are objects that reflect changes to

master data. They are enabled through change document

services and shared master data toll. ALE programs and

API use change pointers to select changed master data for

populating IDOCs of the relevant message type.

When I created a customer,a change document got created but not a change pointer. What configuration should I do in order to generate a change pointer whenever a customer is created or changed. I believe there is a transaction to activate change pointers.

Hi Somen,

Have you activated change pointers (BD61) and change pointers for messages type DEBMAS (BD50)?

For more information on change pointers, please check this link.
