How to format alert mail which is in xml format

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i get alert mail in my mail client as xml content. Does

somebody know how to format the xml to ascii format? Is

there a Badi or some thing like user exit to format the

xml content to any content we wish before the mail will

be sent out?

How to set the topic of the mail. At the moment the mail

is generated always with this topic 'Alert'. Can we change

this text to any other text?

I have recently saw a thread dealing with the similiar

problem i have now. But i cound not find it anymore.

Thanks,

Hi,

While configuring your <b>ALERTS in ALRTCATDEF,</b> you would have set the option <b>Configuration --> SMTP forwarding as XML</b> and given an EMAIL id, and that is why you are getting the content in XML format.

What you have to do to get it in normal Text format is, in <b>CONFIGURATION-->INTERNAL PROCESSING</b>.

Next, <b>assign an EMAIL ID to the receipient in SU01</b>, and make sure that in <b>ALERT INBOX> PERSONALIZATION> Time Independent Delivery and Email</b> are selected.

Hi Bhavesh,

your are right. I just try it and it work like you say.

Nevertherles we would like to change the format and

enrich the content of the mail with some other information. So we need to get into the coding with some

technique like user exit or badi.

Does somebody have done this? I have saw a badi in the

alert framework but have not try yet.

Thanks,
