Can alert trigger a RFC

[Former Member]

Hello

I have a unique requirement where when a mapping error comes, an alert needs to be triggered and that message should be sent to R/3.

How can we achieve it?

We have a status table in R/3 which will capture all error messages. So, this alert need to trigger an RFC lookup or proxy to store the error message in to the table.

Or in general, i need to inform R/3 that there is an error at XI side.

How to acheive this?

Hi,

This can be achieved using Integration Process (BPM).

Check the standard pattern in Integration repository.

Hi,

Thanks a lot! But, i dont want to use any BPM.

Can you advise me whether any special API is available for that.

One suggestion is to write a custom program which will look for messages in error and would update your table in the backend ECC system accordingly. This program can either be developed in ECC or XI.

Another option is to still trigger the alerts and use the alert function modules (SALRT_*) to get the list of open alerts and update your table accordingly.

Either way, both are not clean solution but I would leave that decision to you.

Thanks
