Hi Sudeep,

Not exactly. There are different kind of issues one faces in alert..

Go through the following note see if this is of help to u..

<b>972303 - Values of multiline container elements are truncated

947738 XI Alerting: Container variable not filled</b>

When you defined the alert category did u define the container elements with size greater than 80 & 132.

Secondly where do u see the truncated values? in the alert inbox or in mail.

Third kindly check in transaction <b>alrtdisp</b> . See details about the alert and confirm if you see truncated values there also.

Sumit

<<When you defined the alert category did u define the container elements with size greater than 80 & 132. >>

yes for both multiline and non-mulitline container elements i gave the size as 255.

<<Secondly where do u see the truncated values? in the alert inbox or in mail>>

I see them trucated in alert inbox......i didnt implement mail(business requirement)..

<<Third kindly check in transaction alrtdisp >>

Sorry, in the alert category maintained...i have used multiline containers only in LONG TEXT section, and this section is not seen through RSALERTDISP report.

One more thing...the problem exist for both multiline and non-multiline container element....

Hi Sudeep,

Check the following notes..might be useful ..

972303 - Values of multiline container elements are truncated

947738 XI Alerting: Container variable not filled

Also confirm if the transaction alrtdisp calls report RSALERTDISP.

Hi Sudeep,

Great that your problem is solved.

One small suggestion from my side..Check in email if you get the full message whenever you have time..

I used to get only the first char of the alert in email . So we applied sap note for the same.

HI ,

I am having the same issue where i am getting only 80 char length in email but when I see in RSARTDISP i am able to see 255 length.

I have used the variable in alrtcatdef as multiline of type char 255.

I am working on PI7.1

Thanks,

Chandra
