Alert without a BPM

[Former Member]

Our Scenario

IDOC to XI to Vendor.

This is an ASYNCHRONOUS scenario.

NO BPM is Involved. NO BPM is Inolved.

If a Mapping fails I want to send an Alert message, whether it is feasible? How should I accomplish that.

thanks.

Hi Rohini,

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:

Also just go through <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/23/raising-exceptions-in-sap-xi-mapping Exceptions in SAP XI Mapping</a> and see if it helps you solve the problem.

ROhini,

This blog has all the steps needed to configure Alerts,

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step

While defining ALert Rule , give NO RTESTRICTION and Alerts will be triggered no matter where an error occurs in XI.

If you are SP 14 and above 913858 note needs to be implmented.

If below SP14 , these steps also need to be done,

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--troubleshooting-guide

You can also send EMails through Alerts if needed.

Thanks.

So without a BPM can I have ALERT in my Scenario? Where will I be defining my Alerts where I dont have a BPM?

Rohini,

Please take a look at the Blog ALerts - STep by Step I have given in my previosu reply.

You will get an Idea of how ALerts work. ALert frame work in XI can trap any error that occurs in XI.

1. You will define the Alert Category in the transaction ALRTCATDEF

2. Define FIXED RECIPIENTS

3. Declare the container variables.

4. Define Short Text and Long Text.

Then in RWB --> Alert Configuration --> You will define n ALert Rule for your Alert. This alert rule will metnion which error is to be trapped. If you give NO RESTRICTION< then no matter where an error occurs in XI< an ALertt will be triggered.

To test your ALerts, use the report RSALERTTEST from SE37.

If you go through the blog ALert s Step by STep, it will answer all your queries.

Thanks Bhavesh. I have gone thru that and I understands that even without a BPM I can send an alert message. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks again.

Bhavesh,

I followed step by step from your earlier response. ( Setting up Alerts without BPM ) and I did selected No restriction in RWB configuration and still couldn't generate Alerts. Dont know what I'm missing. Could you please tell what other checks we need to perform?.

Thanks
