SECTION 1: EXCHANGE PROCESS OVERVIEW

The overall purpose of the change detection layer is to detect and track changes made to the business objects of concern to the mobile application. This can include items such as work orders, service orders, material items, etc. Changes can include new instances of the objects, modifications to an object’s data, or removal of the object instance. When a change occurs, the unique identifier of the modified business object and the system date and time are noted. This information is then used during synchronization as a part of the overall exchange data method to determine what data updates are needed for a given mobile Client.

Enhancement Framework Implementations (EFI) are SAP ABAP source code plugins

Implemented via the SAP Mobile Suite Business Framework for each business object where change detection is required

Each Exchange Object is assigned to an EFI

Management of the specific change detection processing is handled by the Exchange Object Field Selection and Field Condition Filter configuration

SECTION 2: IDENTIFY UPDATE FUNCTION MODULE TO IMPLEMENT EFI

1) First and foremost thing is to identify right place to implement implicit enhancement to capture

changes to SAP master or transaction data. Debug update function module of the transaction you want to implement exchange – in order to identify right update function module enable update debugging. ( In our example we are using Entry list as an example) During Save of transaction do /h(debug) , Go to settings-> Change Debugger Profile/ Settings to enable update function module debugging
