Error handling Techniques:

[Former Member]

Hi Experts , I have certain queries like:-

1) I know that an Alert Category can be created with system fields for Message ID, Sender Service/Receiver Service, Sender/Receiver Namespace, Sender/Receiver Interface, Error code, Error Category etc. Other customized fields can also be created. My question is if we create custom fields in the alert category where or how will those custom fields are populated. Will it be populated in IR or somewhere else?

2) Mail Adapter is another way to send e-mails using UDF. So I guess, we can create the message and send it via mail adapter in the catch block of the UDF or something like that. How is it done?

3)Can a common error structure (created like ExchangeFaultData) be filled up in a UDF and then if it can be sent via email (may be again using Mail Adapter). If Yes how is it done?

Would appreciate your valuable inputs!

HI Saras,

My question is if we create custom fields in the alert category where or how will those custom fields are populated. Will it be populated in IR or somewhere else?

A)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.

NOw now the alert can be sent to individuals or group of people through email,sms etc for that you need to configure the Recipient Determination so no need to use the mail adapter.

Alert can be triggered in different ways.

1) Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly.

/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/07/25/triggering-xi-alerts-from-a-user-defined-function

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.
