Change pointers for HRMD_A

[Former Member]

Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.

Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .

I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?

Any help is much appriciated.

Also i noted that that the data elements of the correspondign fields i want change pointers to be anbled for , doesn't have the change document flag ticked . where as it is ticked for DEBMAS and MATMAS fields. These message types produce change pointers sucessfully. My ABAP team member told that HR master data is sorted by using date as key , but not with change documents, thats why the flag isn't enabled. Could some body who got HRMD_A idocs working with change pointers let me know if their change document falg is enabled please ?

Hi I can't answer your last question but with regards to your initial question...

Have you actually changed some HR msater data to perfrom a test?

Without a change no documents will be created.

I hope this helps.

OK and you have done the following:

1. BD61 Active change pointers generally

- Check the checkbox "Change pointers activated -generally"

- Save it

2. BD50 Active change pointers for Message Type

Message Type Active

Your message Check the check box

3. SCDO Change Document Objects

- Check whether the your object is available in the object list.

4. BD52 Maintain Table Views

- Enter the Message type and press enter.

For example

OBJECT TABLE NAME FIELD NAME

MATERIAL MARA BISMT

5. BD60 Additional data for message types:

For example:

Message Type Function Module Table

Check your message type has a function module associated with it

6. WE21 Port

7. WE20 Partner Profile

8. BD64 Distribution Model

we have to use RBDMIDOC program.for executing this program we need to give message type like

MATMAS or

DEBMAS or

CREMAS

depending on your requirement.

Alex ,

I ahve done everything as mentioned except step 3 ,

3. SCDO Change Document Objects

• Check whether the your object is available in the object list.

What would be the object for HRMD_A data here ? .

Step4 , BD52 , it shows 0 entries . I was told that it is normal.

Step5, BD60 , there is a FM associated with HRMD_A , but object type and table fileds are empty.

All other ALE settings are in place. From steps 3, 4 & 5 in my case , what do you think is wrong here.

Thanks a Lot
