doubts related to creating alerts without BPM

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am creating alerts from Michel's following Blog:

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step

I have following Questions related to it:

In the Step2, while create container elements, few variables were specifeid.

1. List of container vars were specified. Are they the only container variables we can create?

2. Can I create my own variables?

3. While creating Display container element, in "Datatype" tab, there are 3 options. Object type, dictionary reference, ABAP dict data type. How do I know which type I need to select? do I need to create any new data types for each container element?

Step 3:

4. the message type was specified as "error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& (category &SXMS_ERROR_CAT&) was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the interface &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE&"

Do I need to specify the same everytime, i mean to capture any kind of message?

Step 4:

I am trying to capture alerts in an IDOC - File scenario.

I have 3 diff login ids at sender Dev server and XI and one login ID to put file on the target

5. Do I need to mention my XI logon details as recipient? (The IDOC was sent from Dev system login ID)

6. How do I register my email to the user name?

Step 5:

7. I send IDOC such that MM error occurs and it occured.But I cant see the alert. How do I monitor for it?

how do I know where things went wrong with my alert?

Help me to understand alerts better

Thanks in advance,

Nikhil.

You cannot have your own custom container elements. These are the only ones you are allowed.

As mentioned in this link you need to select ABAP Dic Data Type.

The Text can be anything that you want. The container elements are filled dynamically in the runtime. The static text can be anything.

Not sure what this has to do with your alert..

Go to SU01 and assign Email ID to the user here.

SXMB_MONI is the Tcode for this. Please try to use seach on SDN and search for monitroing of XI.

Also from your question you still seem to be a newbie to XI, would suggest you try to read up on the blogs on SDN and trying things so that they things become clearer .

Check the same in the t-code<b>alertdisp</b>. May be it is there but not in the Alert Inbox due to some reason.

Thanks
