BPM : Alert Category : PI 7.1

HI Experts
I am working on New BPM features of PI 7.1. I configured and BPM Scenario with User decission and now try to work out on Alert Category.
As per the below blog
Enhancements in ccBPM within SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1
Alert Category can be defined in IR and that Category can be added in RULE from RWB(Alert Config)
The issue is, i am not able to see my Alert Category which is defined in IR in RWB, as the source of Alert in BPM is defined as "Enterprise Services Builder"
Please let me know..
Thanks in Advance
Prabhakar

Using SLG1, i traced the alert and found that Receipients are not assigned properly.
Issue solved by this.
Thanks
Prabhakar

MessageID not getting generated using Alert category created in ESR & BPM

hi All,
We are trying to use Creating Alert Categories in ESR and using them in Integration Processes by refering to the blog below:
/people/gautam.purohit2/blog/2010/04/04/creating-alert-categories-in-esr-and-using-them-in-integration-processes--pi-71-feature
In BPM, we have selected context objects 'LogError.MessageId','LogError.Interface' and specied an xpath for two fields 'Name' & 'Studentid' . In long text i have used container variables correctly while defining alert category.
But while checking the raised alert in RWB -> Alert Inbox, context objects are coming as blank, out of two fields only name is coming, but for Request it is coming as '&Stud entid&'
Do i need to do anything more to get messageid etc in the alert.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mayank

hi,
Now MessageID and interface are coming correctly in the alert raised, but still Request is coming as '&Stud entid&, i checked in PE, container varaibles are set correctly, in alert inbox it is coming as &Stud entid&, we have 4 contianer variables used in Long text, it is coming like this for only one variable.
Any suggestions?
Also how can i define newline in between two words in long text?
Thanks,
Mayank

Report Error Message in BPM Alert?

Hi,
I designed a BPM with a transformation step and a send step. For each step I have an exception branch where I want to trigger an alert, when something goes wrong.
I already configured in TC ALRTCATDEF an alert category (Dynamic Text activated). And I made an container operatinon with folloing control step, where I for example report the message ID.
But, going through the blogs and threads I didn't find the information, how I can report the exact error message, the error category (and in case of the send step the adapter and the adapter error text) to the alert. How can I get this data to put it into a container variable?
Can anybody give me some information about that?
Thanks in advance

System: PI 7.0 SP15

You can use the below information for raising an Alert for adapters.
Specific Error Information from the Adapter Engine:
Container Element
ABAP Dictionary Data Type
Meaning
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_TYPE
CHAR70
Adapter type
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT
CHAR70
Error text from the Adapter Engine

Capturing custom error message from alert category

We are using XSLT mapping and We are raising custom error message based upon some conditions i.e if vendor number is invalid or blank.If it doesn't meet the requirement,mapping will fail and it will throw error message as" IDoc XXXXXXXXX is having invalid vendor number".
My question is,we would like to send this custom error message to email receipients through RWB-AFW.
How do we capture this custom error message is alert category or alert rule?

You can not unless u use BPM.

BPM alert not being generated

Hi guys,
I'm having quite a little trouble in doing one thing which has been done for several times but which is giving me a hard time...
I've created a bpm process which in an error condition will trigger a simple alert.
I've tested the process and everything goes allright, except the alert. What is happening? Well, the alert is not being sent to my inbox. Why? Maybe because the alert is not being generated.
I've went to sxmb_moni_bpe and everything is OK. I can see the message of the alert being fired. After that I went to slg1 to see if my alert is being generated, and the answer is no. It's not being generated....
I've gone through Michal's blogs and everything was checked...The question is, if I execute RSALERTTEST with my alert category, the alert is generated and send to my inbox. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your attention

Hi,
Yes the job scheduling is needed only for Sp14 and below.
Can you recheck if the Alert is actually getting triggered or not in the BPM in the control step? Make sure that you have given the correct Alert Category in your Control Step and also, make sure that the recipient in your alert as well as the Alert Inbox entry you are seeing is the same.
Finally, refresh the Alert Inbox.

BPM Alert Container Elements Not Filled

Hi All,
Another problem i am facing when i am raising alert from BPM.
In inbox i see alert message being raised but with no text.
I have also subscribed to email alerts.
In the email the subject is Process 000000008058
and the content is the first alphabet of the AlertMessage container element.
Ex : In BPM my container element is AlertMessage and the message assigned is <i>Error</i> . Then in email message i only get E. where as in alert inbox i get nothing.
ps : im using XI 7.0 SP 9. there are no notes which are applicable for this release.

Rahul

Hi Bhavesh,
<i>>When you select Dynamic text in the Alert category, the Container tab will no longer be available in ALRTCATDEF for your Alet Category.!</i>
the container tab is available but the Long& Short text tab is disabled.
I did not mean that..
What i meant was see next to the Properties tab in Alert Category defination there is a Container tab where we define our own container elements.
Do i need to define the names there..or i can directly use in the BPM?

Rahul

Blank Long Text in BPM alerts

Hello Experts,
I had configured dynamic alerts in BPM (of PI 7.1) and I am raising the same through Control step. The configuration is similar as described in blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
Accordingly the alert is getting generated from BPM control step.But my problem is whenever i use container variable (&variable&), i am receiving blank long text in email and in alert inbox. It works fine with hard-coded text from BPM.
I could see the container variable value in SXMB_MONI but somehow it loses Long text.
Thanks in advance.
regards
rajeev

Hi rajeev,
Make sure that your variable name is correctly spelt in all the places.
check the assignment step when you pass the value to the variable.
You can try re assigning the value to the variable afresh.
Make sure you have the dynamic text option checked in the Alert Category.

BPM Alert shows in Inbox but without custom text

We have a BPM which raises an alert and passes a message to a fixed receipent Inbox. In our Dev environment this works great. We replicated this functinoality in our QA environment and now the user gets an alert in their Inbox but instead of the custom message they just receive the alert category description. We have scene this problem in the past when we forgot to check dynamic text on the alert category but we checked this so it must be something else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Puloma,
If I run RSALERTTEST with no additional confirguration it creates an alert in my inbox with the alert category description as the alert message. If I run RSALERTTEST and use the additional configuration menu to add in a description it uses that description as the alert message short text. It appears to be working as expected. The problem seems to be that although my BPM works perfect in Dev, in our QA environment it is not feeding the alert description correctly to the alert message. This is just a guess I am not sure if there is a way for me to monitor what alert description my bpm created.

BPM Alert/email

Hi all,
I have a BPM which sends alerts in RWB.How to convert this/,so that the alert message or the payload can be sent to user email accounts using email adapter.any step by step process is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
RR

Hi Ragu,
You need to configure SAP connect and maintain the e-mail address for all the users attached to your alert category. You can go to transaction SU01 and maintain e-mail address for the each user attached to the alert category and the e-mails will automatically be sent if SAP connect is configured.
Refere the link below for SAP connect configuration..

Hi Experts ,
I have all the Alert Category and the respective configuration set.
I am also getting email for the error.

SXMS_FROM_SERVICE
SMXS_TO_SERVICE
SMXS_FROM_INTERFACE
SXMS_FROM_NAMESPACE are not gettng populated.
Please suggest what could be the error or anythng tht could be the reason for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi thomas,
Did you are using a BPM design to trigger the alert,
if yes ..
You cannot use these container variables for alerts of the Business Process Engine (BPE).
Please refer the link..

Alert Category of ES not deployed on Alerting Server

Hello,
I just set up an Alert Category in Enterprise Services Builder to used in BPM. I have read that the category will be automatically deployed on the Alerting Server and can be viewed using ALRTCATDEF.
However there is nothing to be seen after activation. Furthermore, how do I set recipients for alert categories set in Enterprise Services Builder?

I found the alert now, however it just contains the GUID of the object but not the name (as alert category). Is this meant to be like this?

Alert Category in XI

Hi...
I am doing file to file scenario using BPM. I have created an exception. For that i want to create Alert Category in Xl. Kindly help me out in this by detailed descripition of how to create alert category.

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.
Also go through these links:

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.
