Container Element in Alert Category

Hi,
Any one can tell me what is the use of container element in Alert Category.
While creating a container variable there is an drop down for Object type.When we go for each of these object type.
When i selected the object type as 'XML object type ' i could be able to see all the abstract interfaces and the fields that are created in the IR.I am able to select that field in the long text tab also.
But the value of the field is not getting reflected when an alert message is triggered.
Am I in a right track or doing anything wrong?Can i directly access this field in the long text?
Regards
Divia

Container Element in ALERT

Dear Experts,
Can you plz explain, when it is required to create a CONTAINER ELEMENT in Alert Configuration.? As we can use the System Defined Variables like SXMS_ERROR_CODE, SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE etc, what is the need for the container element?
The System Defined Variables are filled by the System during Runtime, when such an error happens. But who ll fill the Customized Container Variable and how??
Also while creating a Container Element for ALERT, the data type can be of OBJECT TYPE/ ABAP DICT.REFERENCE/ABAP DICT DATA TYPE. What is the significance of each?
Plz explain.
Regards,
Navneet

Hi Navneet,
The container element contains all the control information required at run time in the form of constants and object references.
To inform the WF which object was created in the step via the method the reference to the bus object is passed via the binding definition from the task container to the Wf container. An appropriate element was therefore created automatically in the WF container with the correct data type.
The workflow container contains an element which is defined with a data type reference to the same object type that is created in the referenced task, this binding definition is proposed automatically when an activity is defined.
If no element with an appropriate data type reference is available in the workflow container, a suitable element is added to the workflow container and the binding entered.
For more info pz go through the link given below,u will get the useful info regarding creation of container element and much more .

Container elements in Alerts

HI Experts,
why we need to create a Container element in Alerts and there are some standard elements like SXMS_MSG_GUID, SXMS_RULE_NAME etc. wht is the purpose of these std. elements and mostly where they are applicable?
Pts will b rewarded.
Regards
Faisal

Hi,
Container element is just a element which hold the values.
its like a strucutre which is used to hold the values in this case SXMS_MSG_GUID will hold the SAP message ID.
Some of the example are:
Have u created data type in XI what u do is u give some name to data element and then specify the type now that element will hold the value which is coming to XI.
Similarly for IDOC strucutre.

Container Variable for Alert Category

Hello,experts!
Is there standard container variable to add a name of Alert Category to the text of alert?
BR,
Vika

Hi,
You can try with SXMS_RULE_NAME-Description of the alert rule with which you can get the alert rule but not category I think....
Please refer this http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/00e97ba2-85ce-2b10-20bc-bc05cd172154

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 Error . 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,
>When you select Dynamic text in the Alert category, the Container tab will no longer be available in ALRTCATDEF for your Alet Category.!
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

Problem using multiline container in Alert Category

Hello, experts!
Could you please suggest me how to solve the following issue.
I have userdefined multiline container MY_CONTAINER with two elements FIELD (stores name of field) and VALUE (stores value of field). This container is filled in runtime by means of BADI extension. So in transaction ALRTDISP filled container looks like:
MY_CONTAINER
 MY_CONTAINER[1]
 FIELD SystemCode
 VALUE 42
 MY_CONTAINER[2]
 FIELD Key
 VALUE 0292383728232
 MY_CONTAINER[3]
 FIELD State
 VALUE 1
 ...and so on. Number of filled elements of container is unknown.
I need to add the contents of this container to Long text of Alert Category in form of:
 SystemCode: 42
 Key: 0292383728232
 State: 1
...and so on.
I added MY_CONTAINER on the Containers tab of my alert category. And in Long text included the following expression:
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD[]&: &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE[]&.
But in long text it looks like:
 SystemCode Key State ...: 42 0292383728232 1 ...
If the expression is like
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD& - &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE&
then long text contains only the first element:
 SystemCode: 42.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I think I need to use expressions (something like FOR-loop) for filling Long Text in Alert Categories. Is it possible?
BR,
Vika

Hi Experts,
still trying to work out but couldn't understand the behaviour.
If the Long text :
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& of category &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
to test I am running the program RSALERTTEST
Msg got thru E-mail is 
Error: and category: &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message from the service and Interface

And when I change the Long text
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& and &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
After running the program RSALERTTEST

E-mail msg
Error: and was found in a message from the service and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
coudn't able to understand why it is displaying the container variable as is in the mail.
checked all the Alert Framework configuration, Everything looks good.
Thank you,
MK

Container for alert category could not be loaded

Hi All,
I am having very strange issue with container(Variables).
I defined Alert category, created container elements and I was using them in long and short text. They were working fine, but now if I open Alert category and click on container tab, its says: Container for alert category could not be loaded and I dont see container elements that I created before. Same thing happened before and I re-created those container variables. But now I have many Alert categories. Is this an existing issue? or does any body having similar situaltion? Can anybody please provide information on this.
Thank you,
Indrasena

Hi Moorthy,
Thanks for your quick reply . We are on WAS 6.40,SP16, but SAP note 656488 is released on 01.09.2003 for 620, it should have been implemented alreay. Do you think we still need to implement that???
Thank you,

Intenal table as container variable in the alert category

Hi
Is it possible to create internal table as Container Variable in the alert category. If it is possible how can we pass the data to this internal table in the Run time to the funtion module SALRT_CREATE_API.I have tried this to pass the data to the container parameter
it_container ,but i was unable to achive it .If anyone has come across this please guide me .
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

You can use the Forms "From Clause Query" as the datasource for the data block. Then you can change the QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME using set_block_property, so you can use any SQL statement you like. Of course you must name/alias the columns in a consistent manner so that the number of database items on the block matches those being queried.

Alert inbox - Alert Categories - Container elements

Hi all,
I have configured alerts in alrtcatdef tcode. I am able to receive the alerts in the alert inbox. But the container elements are filled in. When tried with checking the Dynamic Text there is no long text in the alert received in the alert inbox.
We r on SP 17.
Did any one try this.
reg,

naveen
If u had typed the container elements then u may need to delete those and again insert thru the std option (an icon where you can fetch it). Also check the corresponding data type for the container element. If you are using a wrong data type, which is not valid for that container element, you might face problems.
Check Note : 947738 to solve this issue. Also check Troubleshooting Note specifically 913858.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/45/23827054604aa8e10000000a11466f/content.htm
You must define the binding from the task container to the rule container for each rule. For further information, refer to Rule Resolution

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

Container Variable in Alert Cat

Hi,
I have a FTP To FTP scenario, where I have to handle alerts if any error occurs in PI. For Example FTP Password is changed in the Target system and not updated in the Receiver Channel. Obviously the Adapter throws an error saying the Password is wrong.
My motto is to send an alert mail to External ID with the details of the Error occurred in the XI and the name of the file for which this error occurred.
As the Container Variable are limited in the Alert Category, how can I catch the file name for which the error occurred.
Could some throw light on it.
Thanks
Azias

You can use this link to see How to raise Alerts with variables from the messages payload XI:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
USE THE FOLLOWING UDF TO GET THE VALUE OF THE SOURCE FILENAME AND STORE THE VALUE OF THIS SOURCE FILENAME IN AN EXPORT PARAMETER NAMED "exportParam" declared under the Signature tab of message mapping:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
OutputParameters params= gc.getOutputParameters();
if(params.exists("exportParam") == true)
params.setString("exportParam", ourSourceFileName);
return ourSourceFileName;
Then use the value of this export parameter exportParam to raise an alert in BPM control step where you can easily use the value of this parameter in the short or long text of alert.
For this, you need to create a container variable in BPM of category SimpleType and Type as xsd:string with some name say "param".
Then in the alert text, you can make use of this parameter as &param& to get its value in alert short or long text.
Thanks
