Hi leelaratnam morampudi ,

Alerting is an function of Runtime Workbench along with Message archiving,End-to-end monitoring, Performance Monitoring,Cache monitoring.

Alerting is no longer dependent on the configuration and activation of end-to-end

monitoring. Consequently, the delay between when an error occurs in message

processing and the creation of an alert is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, you no longer need to schedule the report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET as a

background job.The Runtime Workbench has CCMS Alert Monitor thru which you can now configure one new CCMS Alert Monitor per Adapter Engine for adapter-specific processing errors.Alerts triggered by the Runtime Workbench can now be forwarded to the CCMS Alert Monitor and displayed there.

See also SAP Note 824039.

Thru Runtime Workbench we can access alert inbox, alert configuration

In process Integration with Central SAP Monitoring Infrastructure we Drill down to individual process steps and Use SAP Web AS Alert Framework.

In SAP Web AS Alert Framework, we Classify errors and Alert channels (such as e-mail) available.

Alert-Configuration

Objective: Active Monitoring

CCMS Alerts + message-oriented alerts

Based on SAP’s Basis Alert Framework

Alerts propagated through E-Mail, SMS,

In Monitoring the SAP Exchange Infrastructure, Message Alerting is part of Runtime Workbench.

1. Define Alert Category in ALRTCATDEF

2. Define Alert Rules in RWB --> Alert Configuration

And depending on the alert rules , if an error occurs in XI, the alert will be triggered.

Read the Blog by Michal and you will get the picture and then let me know if you need any inputs.

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

The Alerts in SAP XI can be raised for error happening in:

1. Adapter Engine

2. Integration Engine.

1. These Alerts are system generated in case anything happens in either of the component.

For this you need to:

1. Create ALert Category in the Trnasaction ALRTCATDEF

2. Create Alert rules in Runtime Workbench--> ALert Configuration and associating these rules to Alert category.

If you want you can do it without a BPM

and throw an exception in case any of the values is missing:

have a look at this weblog on how to throw exceptions

in a nice way:

/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/01/26/throwing-smart-exceptions-in-xi-graphical-mapping

Also just go through Raising Exceptions in SAP XI Mapping and see if it helps you solve the problem.

For a Simple case with BPM refer:

To send an EMAIL, assign an EMAIL ID to the corresponding user in the transaction SU01 and then set up SCOT and you can send emails when the ALERT is triggered..

Once you have configure Alerts, you will get the Alerts into ALERT INBOX in RWB of the user. To also get the email, the following needs to be done,

1. In SU01 -- Assign the Email ID for the Recipient of the ALERT.

2. In , RWB~~>ALERT INBOX~~> PERSONALIZATION--> Time Independent Delivery and Email are selected.

3. Finally, SCOT needs to be set up to send Emails. Check this for the same. You can ask your BASIS team to do this step.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/1edf098ea211d2b47300609419ed29/frameset.htm

Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.
