Hi,

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 <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.

For a Simple case with BPM refer:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/33/4a773f12f14a18e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

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.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/1edf098ea211d2b47300609419ed29/frameset.htm

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.....

Hi,

Bhavesh

Thank you for your prompt reply and I appreciate your help.

But, here we are not using the BPM in our scenarios. with out using the BPM control step we can not configure the alerts i think.

if it possible tell us how can we.

Hi,

You can configure alerts without BPM.

that is what the blog i have given you describes how.

1. Define Alert Category in ALRTCATDEF

2. Define Alert Rules in RWB --> Alert Configuration

And depending on the alert rules , if an error occurs in XI, the alert will be triggered.

Read the Blog by Michal and you will get the picture and then let me know if you need any inputs.

As Bhavesh suggested create alert catagory in through ALRTCATDEF tcode

Goto RWB-alert configuration->update table you will find the cretaed alert.->

double click it in alert rule window u find the created alert in alert category

just put the relevent information->add rule.-> you will find the information in alert rules

whenever any error comes this alert will be triggered.
