􀂃 In general, change pointers are used to reduce the RFC traffic
between communicating systems. If change pointers are defined on
the sender system, not every single IDoc is sent immediately. Instead,
business objects that have been changed are marked as ‚changed‘. In
the end, one single IDoc per message type and business object is sent
to the receiver. This way, only one change is needed instead of x single
changes.
􀂃 E.g. report RBDMIDOC is responsible for the selection and posting of
all MATMAS IDocs. For each master data change/creation, a change
pointer is written into table BDCP. You can trigger the posting of
MATMAS IDocs by running report RBDMIDOC manually.
􀂃 If enabled, change pointers for master data are written by the Shared
Master Data tool (see appendix). |
