Alert Rules - Some doubts

Hello,
I have the following doubts about alert rules:
1) Is there a way to create an alert rule that verifies the comparison between two formulas? For instance: send the alert if sum(field1) > sum(field2)?
I couldn't find a way to do that using line filter or group filter.
2) Is it possible to create an alert rule that verifies data in two data objects? For instance: send the alert if dataobject1.field > dataobject2.field?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1) a) A Web Server understands and supports only HTTP protocol whereas an Application Server supports HTTP,TCP/IP and many more protocols.
b) Web server mainly deals with sending HTML for display in a Web browser, an application server provides access to business logic for use by client application programs. The application program can use this logic just as it would call a method on an object.
c) Webserver is used only for jsp and servlets and for static functionality it has limited functionality and it doesn't provide any security ,persistence and it doesn't support EJB and JMS and JAAS like other functionality
whereas Application server provide all functionalities.
In short, Applicaion Server is a super set of which Web Server is a sub set.
2) Two-tier architecture is a client/server architecture , where a request to do some task is sent to the server and the server responds by performing the task.where as a three-tier or a multi tier architecture has client, server and database. Where the client request is sent to the server and the server in turn sends the request to the database. The database sends back the information/data required to the server which inturn sends it to the client.

Some doubts in BW3.5

<Moderator Message: Please read the rules of engagement. You should not post multiple questions to one thread, also use meaningful subjects. And don't offer points.>
HELLO Guys
I have some doubts regarding SAP BW3.5...cAN anyone please clarify.
1.this is regarding SID Concept.
iIn extended start schema,there will be one fact table connected to many dimendion tables.Fact table and Dim tables are connected by dimension IDs.then this Dim table will hold various characteristics.every characteristic will store the characteristic value and address(pointer) to SID table.This SID table will hold again addresses(pointers) to attributes,text and hierarchy tables(if we assume that characteristic have attribute,text,hierarchy) which in turn contain the values.When a query is executed,the OLAP processor searches first for characteristics in dim tables and then with help of dim IDs traces Transaction Data in Fact table relevant for this combination of characteristics and gives output.Did I understand the concept right?
how does OLAP Processor run if the query is on just text of a characteristic and it doesnot include this characteristic?
2.how does navigational attr decrease the performance?
3.cAN YOU ASSIGN
    a. many datasources to one infosource
    b.one datasource to many infosources
    c.many datasources to many infosources...
can you please give real time scenarios for this....
4.how do SID concept improve BW/BI.
thanks

Hi,
You understanding is correct.
{code)
how does OLAP Processor run if the query is on just text of a characteristic and it doesnot include this characteristic?
{code}
This question of yours is not very clear. Re phrase and post it again.
2.how does navigational attr decrease the performance?
Ans:- Say for example in the customer master table customer phone no is the navigational attribute. Now when you select this navigation attriubte in your report then the processor will go and first check the value of Customer say C1 and then determine C1 phone number. Now this look up of cusotmer will happen for every customer . So if say there are huge number of records for which this look up of customer first has to happen then obviously the performance will be impacted.
Hope it is clear.

Alert rule not working! Please help!

Hi All,
   I have a Async XI scenario IDOC ---> XI -
> JMS
   In order to receive alerts if JMS adapter or server is down, I have configured alert rule in runtime workbench. The associated alert category is setup correctly with fixed recipients.
   Following are the settings in my alert rule.
   1. Conditions: Connected to message - Not Relevant
       Sender component: I have given my IDOC source system.
       Receiver component : I have given by JMS target system.
       Remaining all values: *
   2. Where did the error occur? : No Restriction
   Now for testing purpose if I give a junk server name in JMS communication channel and send the IDOC from source system, then I found that the corresponding XI message is showing as successfully processed. AT the same time in communication channel monitoring in runtime workbench I get an error:
Error creating JMS connection. JMS provider gave error message as Failed to connect to the server
But I don't receive any alert. Why? Is there anything wrong with the alert rule?
Why is the message in XI showing successfully processed even though there is an error in adapter?
Is this the normal behavior of any Async communication?
Please help! I am struggling with this issue for a long time.
I will be grateful if somebody can help me.
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Dear Gopal,
you have a couple of questions...
1. Even thought the receiver communica channel is in error , why is the moni showing successfully processed?
Ans...This is not an unusual behavior... what is happening is as your mapping is correct the message is passing through the IE properly but when the adapter engine ( JMS receiver channel ) tries to coomunicate with the receiver JMS system it is giving error ..as u have given some wrong server details
2. Alert e-mail not received
chk whether the alert catergory u created is attached to your alert rule..
you can do this in the alert configuration tab in the RWB
Also you need to activate your alert rule ..this again can be done in alert config tab..there is a chkbox of "rule activation".
Givind points is another way to say thanks

Alerts not getting generated from Alert rules

Hello
I had a problem displaying Alert messages in Alert Inbox.I have created my category and I am raising the alert from BPM and thats working fine.But in some cases where I have define rules(via Alert Configuration in Runtime Workbench) for Alert Generation alerts are not getting raised.I am having the two background jobs running as per the documentation.
I checked by creating a rule where sender was BPM and receiver is File and the alert should get generated when the Adapter fails(i gave wrond username for FTP server).
Any idea what step might be missing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev

Hello Rajeev,
have you checked in transaction ALRTDISP if the required alert has been created at all?
If yes, then have a look at the receivers, if no then check the following things:
- are your jobs running sucessfully?
- does the alert get created when you execute SALRTPROC report manually?
- are there old alerts of the same category not confirmed and flag surpress multiple alerts activated in the alert rule?
Best regards
Christine

Alert rule container variable not getting filled up

I want to generate an alert if file content conversion fails. Created an alert category with the SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT as a container variable of dictionary type Char70 as included it in the long text.Created an alert rule in the RWB. I am getting the alert in the inbox but nothing is filled in for SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT. We are on PI7.0 SP9.
Has anybody noticed similar problems ?

Hi Sangeeta, I had the same problem but I couldn't fixed because there was not enough time to do it, I created my own message with almost all the XI container variables. And the messages are very helpful. I send you some links

Transport alert category and alert rule

Hi,
We are using SAP BASIS 700 (NW2004S SP9). We have created alert category and alert rule in development system. We now want to transport this alert category and alert rule to test system. I have referred to sapnote 913858 but its valid till SAP BASIS 640 and we are using SAP BASIS 700.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Mateen.

Thank you all you 3 wonderful people, your replies did helped and I am definitely going to reward you with the points..Now I am getting alerts in my alert inbox. Can you also help me with some info on alerts?
1) What exactly happens when I check and uncheck "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this rule" checkbox while creating alert rule? I have read some documentations for it in sap help website and also in some of the forums but its still very confusing to me. Can you please give me an exact picture of it?
2) I am unable to get alert emails in my lotus notes. I compared my profile setup in XIJ and XIT using TCode SU01 and found that the PARAMETERS tab had some discrepancies. Can you please confirm if this can be the reason?
Best Regards,

Two alert mails for one alert rule

Hi,
I am getting two alert mails from two different users for same alert rule.
One user is PIRWBUSER and other is user mentioned in RFC channel. RFC channel user mail contains the order number data and other information like interface details are missing. For PIRWBSER user, interface details are coming in mail but order number is missing. I have selected suppress rule in RWB alert configuration. Please suggest.
How to send variable data through alert mail without BPM

Hi Swapnashree, I am facing the same issue since last year, and I couldn't solve it yet. I'll review it again in order to solve it, because I spent a lot of time trying to solve it and i was a waste of time always. It seems to be a comm user and the "alert user" uses the same "mail connectivity" for send error messages.
Keep in touch.
If some one knows the reason or the mistake in our hand, please, share this info.

Document Splitting - Some doubts

Hi,
I have activated the Doc splitting but have some doubts:
1. I can see the vendor item getting splitted into different Profit center in the General ledger view. But in FBL3N it shows as DUMMY ( which i believe is Entry view). Now whats the Tcode to see the vendors Profit center wise.
2. Moreover if i see my FSV in F.01, its not as per the Profit centers.
So where to see it Profit center wise.
ON whole, i am interested in see the PCA wise my all balances without running all those F.5D & F.5E programs....SO how to meet the objective
regards

Have you run those reports.
The first one, gives you the total of the Vendor and then you can add to the drill down the Profit Center. This is a new GL report so it takes the data from FAGLFLEX and not BSEG, where the PC is Dummy.
if you want to know how and why your entry view is Dummy and your general Ledger view is different, this is due to the rules you have set in document splitting.
You will probably have a default Profit Center and you can also add in Profit Center, Master data config default values for GL accounts and Profit Centers, i.e. the recon account of the Vendor.
Lastly in terms of the PC in the general ledger view, it will be derived, i.e. from the P&L entry, however it will use the Cost Center, that is linked to a Profit Center and use that for the splitting.
Hope we are moving in the right direction here.

Alert Rules Transport

Hi Friends,
I would like to transport all my alert rules configured for my scenario at RTW of QUALITY system to PRODUCTION system. for that i found 2 options.
1. Manually enter the alert rules in RTW
2. run the report "SXMSALERT_CONFIGTRANS".
in option2: i run the report and transport request created. it shows message as "transport enrty written. alert no: ABC1234".
So now my doubt is: will this report transport all teh alert rules configured in RTW to PROD? my requirement is i need to transport only my scenario related alert rules....(out of 200 alert rules in RTW, only 10are related to my scenario and i need to transfer only those 10).
Best Regards,SARAN

Hi SARAN,
Transport Alert Categories
Go to ALRTCATDEF (In DEV) --> Transport (In TOOLBAR) --> Current Alert Category --> Create a Customizing Request and note down your request number
Go to SE09 (In DEV) --> Check customizing request and Modifiable --> Choose Display Button --> Go to your Request number --> and release the sub node and then release the request.
Go to STMS (In QA) --> Import --> Import your request
Transport Alert Rules
Create a workbench transport request manually with transaction SE09. Delete the corresponding unclassified task of that request. Double click on the transport request and click on button 'edit <-> change'. For Program ID enter R3TR, for Object Type enter TABU and for Object Name enter SXMSALERTRULES.
Now click on the button with the key symbol (located under 'Function'). Click on 'Insert row' and enter * for table key. Save the request, release it and import it in the target system.

Alert rule - Lync 2013 MP - Call reliability alert

We have SCOM 2012 and use Lync 2013 MP to monitor Lync environment. There is an alert in SCOM created by rule Call reliability alert rule from Lync MP. It is generated based on event ID 1122 from Operations Manager event log. In details there is a following
info:
The failure happens for the following modalities:
Media Type = Audio
Distinct Users Impacted = 2
Total Calls = 156
Failed Calls = 2
Failure Percentage = 1.2820512820500
This alert is generating quite often but everything is working ok, no problems with Lync. I am wondering how I can tune this rule to not generate alerts so often, only when there is a real problem. E.g. is it possible to generate alert based on the failure
percentage value (this is a body of event id 1122)?
I checked override options for this alert rule but not sure what I can do

Hi
bbelko
There is one more collection rules is involved in this process, you can override the values to reduce calll reliability alerts.
If the value changed then the alerts will reduce based on criteria.
above mentioned values are default , you can set as per your organization.
check and update the result here that will useful to others to find.
Hope you got some info.
Thanks & Regards, Kesa_Kara

Easily identify whether alert is from an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor?

HI everyone,
In the "Active Alerts" view, is it possible to see which alerts are generated from a rule and which are generated from a monitor? The goal is to be able to quickly determine which alerts are from rules and could be quickly closed vs. which alerts are
from monitors that will automatically close when the state returns to normal (and shouldn't be closed by operators).
I know that the Alert Details area will show if an alert is generated by an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor, but if there were a way to add an additional column to the Active Alerts view, this would help make it visually easier to quickly differentiate between
monitors and rules.
Thanks for your help!

Just be aware of some limitations and potentials pitfalls of the scripted approach:
1) Scalability & Performance - dependant on how many alerts you have \ how often they are updated \ how many other scripts you might have running on the RMS e.g. for updating other custom fields for linking into ticketing systems.
2) Not all monitors auto-resolve. Some are timed reset monitors and, more pertinantly, others are manual reset monitors. So just knowing whether an alert has been generated by a monitor is not sufficient. Sadly, the way security works within SCOM (ie without
any great granularity), a standard operator cannot view the authoring tab to find out what sort of monitor has raised the alert (even in the alert details, the alert rule \ monitor name is no longer a link to the underlying rule \ monitor.
3) SCOM doesn't always auto-resolve monitors. This depends on the environment but I have found that in larger environments where the RMS has performance issues that monitors don't always auto-resolve correctly. In those circumstances you can't rely totally
on the alert in the console. You need to right click the alert and view the health explorer to see if the underlying health of the monitor is still unhealthy or not
If you do decide this approach then Steve Rachui has a blog about how to implement updating custom fields here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2010/08/17/updating-custom-alert-fields-using-subscriptions-and-powershell.aspx
There is no change in SCOM 2012.

BAM getting random timeouts calling BPEL web service as alert rule

I have a BAM alert rule set up to call a BPEL process (web service call basically). This is part of our custom error notification and escalation solution.
In production I randomly see timeouts in the BAM event engine logs where the web service call has timed out. On the BPEL side these processes never show as being invoked, nor are they in manual recovery.
This only happens at random times, although usually in "clumps" lasting a few minutes. The rest of the time this has been fairly reliable.
Any help from the BAM experts would be appreciated. I would open an SR on this, but I have found support to literally take days/weeks to get back to me on BAM issues -- and this particular issue does not seem to be reliably reproduceable.
Here is the event engine log message:
2008-01-31 14:46:35,303 [ActionThreadPool (dynamic 11309)] ERROR - EventEngine Action exception: EEInstEv218067 EEInstAct218066 Rule Id: 1 exception: The operation has timed-out. (http://mcsbpel:8888/orabpel/MAEF/svcMaefErrorAlert/1.0)
