Hi,

Design separate interface for the same...

Create an Alert and route it specific mail account .and then configure the sender mail adapter which can fetch this message and can send the same to the receiver adapter i.e http ..

Hi Azahar,

define a mail address for the alert user (su01) and use the mail for a sender mail adpater, receiver is your http url.

Hi Azahar,

in ALRTCATDEF you have to define alert categories and you can assign a user to it. If you add a mail address to the user in SU01, the alert will as well be delivered by mail.

You setup a sender mail sender adapter for that mail address: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

and route the message to the webservice.

I have no informations regarding your PI knowledge, therefore it would be helpful if you just ask the points which are not clear for you.

You can solve this issue, by catch the alert exception in BPM and send a message to the receiver service.
