Alerts in Integration Process (BPM)?

[susan_pfab]

We are just beginning to use Alerts in PI 7.1. If an error occurs in an integration process (BPM), will it trigger an alert if the Alert Rule is defined wide open? Or do you actually have to trigger the alert in the integration process with an additionl step to trigger the alert?

Hi Susan,

No, configuring alert rules for failure of BPM steps is not possible from RWB.

> do you actually have to trigger the alert in the integration process with an additionl step to trigger the alert?

Yes, you need to use Control Step within the Exception Branch to trigger an alert whenever Exception occurs. Alert category defined in ALRTCATDEF should be used in property.

The Alert has to be defined in ALRTCATDEF.....no matter where the alert comes from (IE, AE, BPE)

If an error occurs in BPM and you have not mainatined proper exception handling for it then....and if the processing shows in red in SXMB_MONI then the alert will be raised as IE alert

However if you have implemented exception handling for a step and then in that exception branch you raise an alert then your BPM will raise alert....the subject of your alert email will be Process <ProcessID>

BPM related alert can be either with static text (using Alert Container Variables) or Dynamic text (using some value from payload)

Please note that to raise an alert from BPM it is not compulsory to only raise it as a Dynamic Alert......static alert can also be raised.

The documents which are available for lower releases are still applicable in alert creation.....so existing blogs/ docs should work

Alert Containers, configured in ALRTCATDEF, won't capture the errors occurring in BPE, they only capture for IE and AE errors.

For BPE errors, define the containers in IP. For further details, please make a search on SDN, you will find tons of documents for that.
