How do we switch off alerts in XI

[venkateswara_pereddy]

Hi XI folks,

I am in need of switching Alerts in production due to some XI instance issue. Is there anyway can we switch off the alerts being not triggered?.

Your expertise in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Venkat,

you can switch of Alerting for the ABAP IE using the report SXMSALERT_ALERTCONFIG.

To switch of Alerting for the J2EE engine ..

Login to Visual Admin.

Go to SAP XI AF Core

Set alerting.isActive to false.

Stop/Start the service.

to switch on alerting set the property again to true.

let us know if the above doesnt help you.

Sumit,

It seems to be not helping me. What I did was

1) Ran program, it said that alerts are deactivated.

2)Then I ran interface which creates alert in BPM

3) it triggers alert and sending e-mail.

I tried other way also by deleting Alert category. Some one suggested when you delete, alerts switched off automatically. It's also not helping.

Any suggestions please.

We need to deactivate in production due to heavy volume of alerts. These alets are creating work item in the background which is filling the work item table very fast. We would like to minimize the work iems gets created in the table.

Thanks,

>Ran program, it said that alerts are deactivated.

Did you select the option deactivate and then execute the report?

If so then it should work and no alerts should be triggerred. See this Note 953626. It talks about how to deactivate alerting.

Did you also change the parameter as i mentioned earlier?

>I tried other way also by deleting Alert category. Some one suggested when you delete, alerts switched off automatically. It's also not helping

Login to RWB- Alert Configuration. Select each rule and then use option Deactivate rule.

You dont need to delete Alert Category.

I switched of SAP XI AF CORE service and restarted too. Still it's triggering alerts in the BPM.

Venkat,

Did you deactivate alert for IE.. using the report i mentioned earlier?

Go to SE16. Enter table name SXMSALERTCONTROL. See the contents of the table.

Do you see PMIFREEALERTING - de-activated

Also how many Alert rules have you configured in RWB?

Hi,

You could even personalize the Alerts

please refer below link

/people/matt.kangas/blog/2006/06/27/personalized-alert-delivery

Or Call transaction RZ20.to deactivate Alerts

Deleting Alert Rules will stop the alert notifications

You can change and delete existing rules. To delete rules, proceed as follows:

● To delete individual rules, select the rule in the list of displayed alert rules and choose Delete.

● To delete all rules, choose Delete All.

Hi Venkat.

I think it should be enough if you disable (Activate Rule checkbox) all active alert rules in the runtime workbench (Alert configuration). I think this will stop alert triggering.

You can activate alert rules again when needed
