Container variables in Alert monitoring

[Former Member]

Hello

I am having interfaces without BPM and I am trying to use container variables facility for that. I defined the container variable in the transaction ALRTCATDEF in which I gave element name same as one of the element from payload.

My alerts are getting generated but I could'nt see the value populated inside that variable. Does anyone know how to populate that variable. I checked on help.sap.com but there they have mentioned about populating container varaibles through workflow.

can we use those in normal interfaces i.e. without BPM?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajeev,

Generally, only a certain number of variables' values can be used in the container and text. This list is given here:-

But, I think you will be able to give even application specific values in the alert message. Just check with the following two documentations, also take care of the naming conflicts:-

Hi,

The Container Variables defined in ALRTCATDEF cannot be used in a BPM.

For how you can use Dynamic Data to your Alerts in BPM, check this blog by Michal,

Just define your Alert Rules. Chek this blog for this,
