SES Change Pointers

[Former Member]

Iu2019m using Change Pointers for indexing on TREX using SES. Now what I want to do is, I want to delete only specific attributes, but when I try doing that, the entire object gets deleted from TREX. Is there anyway I can delete only specific attributes?

Iu2019ll give you an example.

Say object id u201C1000u201D has attributes u201Cattr1u201D, u201Cattr2u201D, u201Cattr3u201D. And these attributes have values u201Cau201D, u201Cbu201D, and u201Ccu201D respectively. Hereu2019s what this looks like.

1000 attr1 a

1000 attr2 b

1000 attr3 c

Now I want to delete attribute u201Cattr2u201D. To do that I set the update flag of change pointers to u2018Du2019

That is,

1000 attr1 a

1000 attr2 b D

1000 attr3 c

When I say this, the entire object id is deleted, that is all three entries are deleted from the TREX server. But I want only u201Cattr2u201D to be deleted.

The result I want is this:-

1000 attr1 a

1000 attr3 c

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Hi Hitesh,

no, sorry:

There was a planning to update a single attribute or a group of attributes.

But this could not be realized.

And from the current perspective it will not be realized any more.

So you may use the fields to store that kind of information but it will have no effect.

You can only update a complete object instance. Or delete it completely.

For more information on using SES for customer-specific implementations you may read SAP note 1254901
