trigger alert for file not existing in sender FTP server

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a scenario file to file.In the sender FTP server a file is placed every 3hours.If file is present it will work in the normal file to file procedure.But when no file exists it should trigger an alert.

Scripts on FTP server is not accepted as a solution.

Can anyone let me know how this requirement can be achieved.

Points will be awarded generously.

Hi

But when no file exists it should trigger an alert.

EMAIL can be used : assign an EMAIL ID to the corresponding user in the transaction SU01 and then set up SCOT and you can send emails when the ALERT is triggered.

Once you have configure Alerts, you will get the Alerts into ALERT INBOX in RWB of the user. To also get the email, the following needs to be done,

1. In SU01 -- Assign the Email ID for the Recipient of the ALERT.

2. In , RWB>ALERT INBOX> PERSONALIZATION--> Time Independent Delivery and Email are selected.

3. Finally, SCOT needs to be set up to send Emails. Check this for the same. You can ask your BASIS team to do this step.

Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.

Also, to test your Alerts, execute the report RSALERTTEST in SE38.

Hi,

By using Alert Framework you can apply the alert notifications wherever the file transfer in XI will failed.

Refer the following bogs it may help you:

Thank you Chetan,

My doubt is you can trigger an alert only when there is an AE or IE error.Here file not exists cannot be treated as an error,so how can we trigger an alert for this.I had some idea maybe we can handle this in adapter module but still not clear with it.Would like to get any workaround.

Please let me know if i am wrong.
