Alert Configuration in PI 7.31

[former_member238007]

Hi Experts,

Its a fresh dual stack installation of PI 7.31.

I have created a test scenario of JDBC to FILE, in which i need to configure alerts for connectivity failures & Integration server failures.

Earlier in PI7.1 using ALRTCATDEF -- alert categtories are defined and in SMTP the mail server details are put in place.

in RWB --> Using alert configuration, we can choose alert category which is defined using ALRTCATDEF b/w sender and receiver system.

But in couldnt see Alert Configuration in monitoring, and in additon i could see Alert Rule in ID,

In PI 7.31 I have created alert rule but couldnt able to see Consumer over there. What is the use of Consumer and Why is it required?

I have done few things in PI 7.31  which i want to make clear:

1. Using ALRTCATDEF i defined alert category.

2. in SMTP i see node creation, i have created a single node --  i want to make clear like how can i use differient nodes if its more than one?

3. when i test my alert category using RSALERTTEST the mails are getting received into my mailbox. Now how can i do configure this alert category to sender and receiver system?

referring to Michaels blog: Componenet based message alerting:

Appreciate your help on this..

Thanks,

Hi Kishore,

in PI7.31 we have two types of alerts.

1.Component based message alerting(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/2c/f0a3d4540c4c9a9af65139801ef826/frameset.htm)

2.Alert Framework.(classical)

classical configuration is same as what we did in earlier versions(7.11..)

you can see the alert configuration in Configuration in monitoring.

For component based message alerting  you can find blocks  in scn.

but do remember you have to do the settings in abap and java stack side to enable either one of the alert.

check this. http://scn.sap.com/message/14137335#14137335

if your intention is to go for CBMA you don't have to do this.

just follow the michal blog for CBMA.

hope this helps you.

HI Muniyappan,

Let me know how can i create consumer if i go ahead with CBMA?

Also i have created ALERT_XYZ category using ALRTCATDEF, but i couldn't see that in Configuration and Administration, how should i configure this alert category to an interface?

Thanks,

Hi,

Let me know how can i create consumer if i go ahead with CBMA?

you will get ALERT-TO-MAIL as consumer.

if you want to create your own follow this.

i believe you are trying to ask how to create alert rule. if i am correct follow this.

in third step you can create the alert rule for created alert category.

Hope this helps you.

HI Muniyappan,

I Created ALERT_XYZ using alrtcatdef, but i couldnt see this alert category in Configuration & Administration --> Alert Rule of RWB.

I could see onle Alert rule which i created in ID.

Thanks,

Hi Kishore,

I could see onle Alert rule which i created in ID.

which means CBMA is activated on your pi server.

do the below steps in abap and java stacks to enable classic alerting.

1. ABAP stack

go to tcode sxmb_adm

select Integration Engine Configuration. category is monitor.

set ALERTING_IS_ACTIVE current value to 1.

set ALERTING_TARGET current value to 0 ( to use Alert Framework mechanism).

2.java stack

go to http://[host]:[port]/nwa

go to Configuration Infrastructure JAVA System Properties XPI Services: AF Core and choose tabServices.

set alerting.isActive value to true

set alerting.target value to 0.

after that make sure you are restarting the server.

then open alert configuration in rwb.

i just copy pasted what i replied in the below thread.

Reference thread  http://scn.sap.com/message/14137335#14137335

let me know if you face any issues.
