Hi,

Alerts can be used for any scenario. You can configure alerts for the Integration and Adapter engines.

For fault message types, apart from proxies, you can also use them for webservice/SOAP scenarios. However, in this case, the service provider should supply the fault message type to be used.

Hi All,

I have also same doubt in Alert.

How can I use Alert in other scenarios except BPM ?

Suppose in File to File scenario how can I use Alert ?

Can anyone help me to solve this ?

Hi Rabi,

In order to use Alert for your File to File scenario, you need to setup Alert Configuration.

To configure alerts, you need to create the following:

1. Alert Categories in tcode ALRTCATDEF

- Here you need to define the alert message that will be sent once error occured and alert has been triggered. You would need to define here the recipients who will receive email notifications about the error message.

2. Alert Rules in Runtime Workbench

- Here you need to define which alert category you would use based on the rules you set. You can define if the error is in the Integration Engine or in Adapter Engine (for errors in File Communication channels). Also, you need to define condition for the alert by selecting the sender and receiver systems, interfaces that would be involved for the alert.

For further details, you may look the SAP documentation:

Hi Anup,

Please see my answer below:

(a) Can we use Alert in scenarios without BPM ? If yes where can we use?

Ans: Yes, You may use it for both asynch and synch scenario. You can create alert for adapter or mapping errors.

(b) Can we use Fault Message Type in scenarios except Proxy ? If yes, how?

Ans: No. Fault message types are designed for application-specific errors that can occur and only used for ABAP proxies and Java proxies.
