• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_EXP_CP_MSG005 - No change pointer exists for selection criterion entered ?

  The SAP error message FVD_EXP_CP_MSG005 ("No change pointer exists for selection criterion entered") typically occurs in the context of change pointer processing, particularly when working with the Change Pointer functionality in SAP. This error indicates that the system could not find any change pointers that match the selection criteria you provided.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Change Pointers Created: The most common reason for this error is that there are no change pointers available for the specific selection criteria you are using. This could happen if:
  
  The relevant data has not been changed since the last time change pointers were processed.
  Change pointers have not been generated for the relevant objects or data.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you entered may not match any existing change pointers. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect parameters or filters in your selection.
  A misunderstanding of the data that should have change pointers.
  
  
  
  Change Pointer Deletion: Change pointers may have been deleted or archived, leading to the absence of relevant entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Pointer Configuration: Ensure that the change pointer functionality is correctly configured for the relevant object. This includes:
  
  Verifying that the change pointer is activated for the relevant message type.
  Checking the settings in transaction BD61 (Change Pointer Configuration).
  
  
  
  Generate Change Pointers: If no change pointers exist, you may need to generate them. This can be done by:
  
  Making changes to the relevant data that should trigger change pointers.
  Running the program that generates change pointers (e.g., using transaction BD21).
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using. Ensure that:
  
  The parameters are correct and relevant to the data you expect to process.
  You are not filtering out the change pointers unintentionally.
  
  
  
  Check for Archiving: If change pointers have been archived, you may need to restore them or adjust your selection criteria to include archived data if applicable.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to see where the selection is failing. This may involve checking the underlying tables (like BDCP for change pointers) to see if any entries exist.
