• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6M022 - Invalid change pointer &1 was skipped (no CDOBJID defined) ?

  The SAP error message 6M022 indicates that a change pointer was skipped because there is no corresponding Change Document Object ID (CDOBJID) defined for it. This typically occurs in the context of Change Pointers, which are used in SAP to track changes to data for purposes such as data replication or integration with other systems.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The Change Document Object (CDOBJ) is not properly configured in the system. This means that the system does not recognize the object associated with the change pointer.
  Incorrect Object Type: The change pointer may refer to an object type that is not defined in the system or is not set up to generate change pointers.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data or configuration that prevent the system from recognizing the change pointer.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Change Document Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SCDO (Change Document Objects) and verify that the relevant change document object is defined and active.
  Ensure that the object type associated with the change pointer is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Change Pointer Settings:
  
  Check the settings for change pointers in transaction BD61 (Change Pointer Management) to ensure that the relevant object is included in the change pointer processing.
  
  
  
  Validate Object Type:
  
  Ensure that the object type referenced in the change pointer is valid and has been set up to generate change pointers. You can check this in the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Change Pointers:
  
  If the change pointer was generated before the configuration was corrected, you may need to reprocess the change pointers. You can do this using transaction BD21 (Change Pointer Reprocessing).
  
  
  
  Check for Data Issues:
  
  Investigate if there are any data inconsistencies or issues that might be causing the change pointer to be invalid. This may involve checking the underlying data tables.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to change pointers and the specific object type you are working with for any additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
