Hi Bhogi,

The Alerts in SAP XI can be raised for error happening in:

1. Adapter Engine

2. Integration Engine.

1. These Alerts are system generated in case anything happens in either of the component.

For this you need to:

1. Create ALert Category in the Trnasaction ALRTCATDEF

2. Create Alert rules in Runtime Workbench--> ALert Configuration and associating these rules to Alert category.

If you want you can do it without a BPM

and throw an exception in case any of the values is missing:

have a look at this weblog on how to throw exceptions

in a nice way:

/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/01/26/throwing-smart-exceptions-in-xi-graphical-mapping

Also just go through Raising Exceptions in SAP XI Mapping and see if it helps you solve the problem.

Also go through these links:

For a Simple case with BPM refer:

To send an EMAIL, 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.

I hope it helps.....

Reward points if this helps
