• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_ACE202 - No change pointers found for type &1, object ID &2, status &3 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_ACE202 No change pointers found for type &1, object ID &2, status &3 typically occurs in the context of change pointer processing in SAP, particularly when working with the Application Link Enabling (ALE) or the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) framework. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any change pointers for the specified object ID and status.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Change Pointers Created: The most common cause of this error is that there are no change pointers created for the specified object ID and status. Change pointers are created when there are changes to the data that need to be communicated to other systems or processes.
  
  
  Incorrect Object ID or Status: The object ID or status specified in the error message may not correspond to any existing change pointers in the system.
  
  
  Change Pointer Deletion: Change pointers may have been deleted or not generated due to configuration issues or missing data.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration for change pointer processing may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of change pointers.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Pointer Configuration: Ensure that the change pointer configuration is correctly set up for the relevant object type. This includes checking the relevant customizing settings in transaction SPRO under the appropriate application area.
  
  
  Generate Change Pointers: If no change pointers exist, you may need to trigger the generation of change pointers. This can be done by making changes to the relevant data that should generate change pointers.
  
  
  Review Object ID and Status: Verify that the object ID and status you are using are correct. You can check the relevant tables (like BDCP for change pointers) to see if there are any entries for the specified object ID and status.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like BD21 (to process change pointers) or BDCP (to view change pointers) to analyze the situation further.
  
  
  Check for Batch Jobs: If change pointers are supposed to be generated by a batch job, ensure that the job is running successfully and that there are no issues with job scheduling.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the relevant program or function module to identify why change pointers are not being created or found.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Change Pointers: Change pointers are a mechanism in SAP that allows the system to track changes to data objects and communicate those changes to other systems or applications.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to change pointers, such as BD21, BDCP, and WE20 (for partner profiles).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to change pointer processing that may address your specific scenario.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the error message regarding change pointers in SAP.
