alerts

hi,

why do we need alerts?

[Former Member]

Hi

For notifications of errors or warnings, failure in the system , we generate alerts. Using alert we can send email,fax, sms etc to notify the appropriate person.

This is how we configure

- Define an alert category, Create alert category (TCODE ALRTCATDEF with authorization SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR)

- Provide Details Receiver,Title , Test and container variable that are filled at runtime

- Follow up activity

- Create rule (Rule name, Alert Category that needs to be used, required error category and error code)

- Additional message attributes for sender and receiver and choose add rule

then the rule gets activated

Basics that cover mostly everything

Alerts

Hi,

Alerts within XI give us a simple way to monitor only those errors that we want to and send alert messages to different people depending on the alert category.

Alert configuration is used to have the system inform you of errors during message processing.

By using the Alert Framework, central monitoring can be provided with all errors reported during message processing in ABAP and Java. This enables an improved reaction to such errors in both the ABAP runtime and the Java-based Adapter Engine. For this purpose, the Alert Framework is provided with rules based on certain events and on information from the header of the message protocol. These rules determine whether alerts are send or not.

For raising an alert you need to first configure the alert please follow the below weblog written by Michal Krawczyk

Configuration steps are: go to transaction ALRTCATDEF

1) Define Alert Category

2) Create container elements which are used for holding an error messages.

3) Recipient Determination.

Alert can be triggered in different ways.

1) Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly.

2) Triggering by Calling a Function Module in the Workplace Plug-In.

3) Triggering with an Event Linkage.

4) Triggering with the Post Processing Framework (PPF) or Message Control (MC)

5) Triggering from a Workflow.

6) Triggering from CCMS with autoreaction.

7) Triggering from BPM.

😎 Triggering alert by configuring a rule from RWB: This is used for sending the mapping and adapter related errors.

Alerts are configured for monitroing and notification purpose on the failed message

[Former Member]

To notify the administrator that something has wrong happened with during the interface processing.

For Example: I designed File to File scenario, but I my sender file does not have correct data or lets says it has wrong structure..so due to this Mapping will fail and due to Mapping Error interface get fail. But how I can any one come to know that this interface get fails..if 1000 of interface are running daily:-)

So I will set rule to throw an Alert for it, so the person who are monitoring the system get information that this interface get fail...and someone has to fix it;-)

Thanks

to send alerts or alert the user/support team in case something failed in XI for example a mapping failure. In case a mapping fails you can send alerts via the alert framework and notify any specific user(s).
