Change Pointer for a custom HR message type

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello All -

I have a requirement in which we are to capture the data for all the changes to a set of fields for the HR Master Data.

The problem with using the standard Message type HRMD_A has been that it just allows me to capture the changes to the specific segment. However, the requirement is that whenever a change happens all the data for that particular employee should be sent.

We thought to create a custom IDoc type with fields from different segments and attach a custom message type and activate the change pointers for this message type.

Now the questions that I have are:

1) Is this a correct approach or is there an alternative method to do this ?

2) When I am trying to capture the changes with my message type an entry is not getting created in the BDCPV. However, if I activate the changes for the standard Message the entry does gets created for a PA30 change in the table. Can anyone tell me how to get the entry created for my custom message type.

I plan to read the change pointers manually and then send the data through a custom structure using proxy communication.

Any responses would be appreciated.

Add the message type in BD50 and determine the fields in BD52, then just try once more.

Reward points if helpfull.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks for your response.

However, I have already tried doing that.

The custom message type is already maintained in BD50. I tried to maintain the BD52 without any success. However, I was not able to find anything in BD52 for the standard Message Type HRMD_A
