  The SAP error message B1113, which states "Generation of change pointers for & deactivated in client &," typically occurs when the change pointer functionality is disabled for a specific client in the SAP system. Change pointers are used in SAP for change data capture, allowing the system to track changes to master data and send them to other systems or processes.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that the generation of change pointers is deactivated for the specified client. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Configuration Settings: The change pointer functionality may not be activated in the client settings.
  Client-Specific Settings: The client may have specific settings that disable change pointer generation.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another client, it may not have been properly set up in the target client.
