Doubt on Alerts

Hi ,

I had a doubt regarding 'ALERTS':

1.How do we test alerts ? Is it through report 'RSALERTTEST' , if so any mandatory parameters should be given while testing alerts ?

2. what are these "alert dumps" how to trace them in transaction ST22, any example for clear understanding purpose?

3. In case of alerts what is use of transaction "SLG1"?

plz answer to above questions & ur help will be more valuable .

You give the name of the Alert Category here.

Basically, if an Alert is not triggered in the runtime due to some error where youe expected an Alert to be triggered, you should be able to see the trace statements on why the Alert was not triggered here in St22.

SLG1 is the transaction that is used to monitor all Trace Staement of your alerts. It will also contain info like when an Alert was triggered, the recipeient of the alert etc.

In ALRTCATDEF you would need to select option Write Log for this.

ST22 contains only error dumps, SLG1 is similar to MoNI . To understand what alert was triggered etc.

Hey

Yes,you can also make some errors in ur mappings n seeif alert is triggered

>>2. what are these "alert dumps" how to trace them in transaction ST22, any example for clear understanding purpose?

ST22 is ABAP dump,basically you need to have a decent knowledge of ABAP to understand them,we normally consult Basis guys in case of any dump.

>>In case of alerts what is use of transaction "SLG1"?

it shows all the alerts which are triggered

Thanx
