Hi Ashish,

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.

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.....

Ashish,

adding to the discussion here.

There are 2 ways / 2 majors areas when it comes to XI alertng,

<u><b>1. With BPM</b></u>

it is possible to trigger Alerts from your BPM with dynamic Text for the alerts. You do this using the Control Step of your BPM and this is similar to say the TRY -- CATCH concept of a Java environment!

<u><b>2. Without BPM</b></u>

In real time projects during support stages, it becomes necessary to have an automatic initmation in case any error occurs in XI at any stage in the pipeline. In this case, you can configure ALERTS using the ALRTCATDEF ( alert category ) and then you configure Alert Rules for the same.!

Looking into the blogs and links pointed above should now give you a better idea

Hi ,

If you want to send Alerts to Email following configuration required...

1. Assign the mail id of the recipeint of the alert in Su01

2. Go to the alert inbox of the recipient , in the option / link --> personalization --> Time Independent Delivery --> select EMAIL.

Now, if scot is configured for every alert, the mail will be forwarder to the recipeiens mail id allocated in SU01
