XI alerting setup.

[Former Member]

Hello,

In our XI production system, some times there many messages in sxmb_moni fails with the error "HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK", when we restart the message it getting processed . I am not sure what is the cause for this.

however there is job RSXMB_RESTART_MESSAGES scheduled for every two hours to restart the failed messages.many times we are processing the messages manually.

We are planing to setup a alerting for this, when ever there is failed message in sxmb_moni, trfc and qrfc, we need a alerting to be generaeted. can you pls help me how to proceed with the alerting setup.

Regards,

Hi vanktesh

"HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK",

inside this message you will see a error category like this "some service (*) is not available conection request to this service refused etc...." This error occurs when the message request for some service and that service is not available at that time might be the reason --- service is engaged at that time or service may be doen at that request time or it may also that service is up but the port is down at that time.

So you can check through telnet ang ping your service check at that time whether your port is open.

adding furher to this error code there are various category like 401 -unauthorised access , 402, 403....

for full description of these error code you can follow this link

HI,

For raising these types of errors so what you can in this case is you need to create a alert rule for this kind of errors. Refer the point no 8 for the same.

Refer the below help for the same.

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

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

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.

Hi Venkatesh,

First you will have to configure Alert Category for your interface in transaction AlRTCATDEF on XI system. You'll have to populate container with standard variables for capturing error information and create short & long texts for alert messages. Also, you'll have to mention recipients of alerts. Recipient can be based on specific user(s), role(s) or both.

Then in RWB, click on ‘Alert Configuration’ tab.

Scroll to the bottom, and click ‘Update Table’ to retrieve the new Alert Categories.

‘Select Alert Category’, enter the specific error(s) to be alerted, and Conditions as necessary and Click ‘Add Rule’.

In 'Alert Inbox’ in RWB. Click ‘Subscription’.

I have a small document on alert configuration so please let me know your email id and I'll mail the same to you.
