XI Alerts not working for BPM

[Former Member]

We have been live with alert framework for some time, but we recently noticed we are not getting alerts when mapping fails within a BPM.

All other errors are being alerted to us properly. Is there something we need to configure differently for BPM?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Michael,

Only a permanent system error which occurs during transformation step in BPM can throw alert! (like RuntimeException)

Hope u have used a control step to throw alert in an exception branch.

The Exception name in Transformation step should be same as Exception Handler in Exception branch.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Like pointed by Moorthy, to use Alerts from the BPM, you would need an Exception handling block with a Control Step to throw the alert. Also, take a look at this link to see if this is how you have handled exceptions and alerts from the BPM?

Hi,

Did you trigger alert from BPM ? Check the Alert sending step in the BPM.

This SAP note on ALert Trougbleshooting may help u-913858

Alerts triggered from BPM e.g- /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated

In the BPM, u can configure the Exception Branch for the Mapping. Whenever mapping exception occurs, you can trigger an alert
