1) How do I check whether we have Alert configuration ,configuration configured on our server.

2) Can I know the steps to configure Alert Configuration.

Thanks,

Hi,

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:

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.

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 Abhy,

I am having a different problem. When I clicked on settings --> configuration, I am not seeing the processing, personalization, XML formatting options. We have PI 7.0 SP09 installed.

Please help in this regard.

Thanks

Kalyan,

Are you looking at sending an XML message as mail?

In this case, in ALRTCATDEF, go to settings--> Configuratin --> In the window that opens , select <b>SMTP Forwarding as XML</b> and give the mail Id.

If you cannot see the Configuration Window, there will be a button indicating new / create ( or something of that sort) click oin this and the configuration window will be available.

Bhavesh,

Thanks for the reply. I don't see this option at all. I am seeing only 'Inbound processing', 'Status handling with mails', and 'Logging' options. I know that 'Processing', 'Personalization', and 'XML formatting' are available in ALRTCATDEF --> Configuration.

I assume that this is the change with the XI 7.0.

Please let me know if I can set these options some where else.

Thanks

Kalyan

Kalyan,

That is rather strange! I am still not on Pi SP9, but will find out . Meanwhile, try raising an OSS for this to get the clarification from SAP.
