Alert monitor in production

Hi Gurus I have the following questions regarding the alert profiles in production landscape and. Is there a way to transport the alert profiles from the AUD system.
Is it a good practice to make the alert monitors in the production system. i have made some excess do u think that I can delete them, because i think that doing this should not create any problems.
Thanks

Hi,
       If you need to transport the aalert profile then go to the table /SAPAPO/AM_PSET. Pass the alert profile name in the SET_ID field. Then select the contents of the row in the table /SAPAPO/AM_PSET then click on Table Entry in the menu and select transport entries. (Menu Path : Table Entry -> Trasnport Entry)
Use the program /SAPAPO/AMON_REORG to delete the unwanted alerts.
Regards,
Siva.

GRC 10 ALERT MONITOR: FALSE/POSITIVES BIAS CALL TRANSACTION

Hi, everybody. I had an Issue related with GRC AC 10 alert monitor that is reporting that some users triggered SoD risks TR54 , TR01 and TR03 originated by transactions: ML81N - service entry against purchase order and FB05 - post with clearing. Both transactions are not available for those users because they don´t have the authorization profiles in the UMR or available in dialog mode.
Nevertheless we observed that both actions (ML81N and FB05) were invoked by a "CALL TRANSACTION" instruction from another program report.
I believe that this is a false positive alarm that were triggered even though the users have not assigned roles or functions of risk.
I will appreciate your comments.
Best Regards.

1) How do I not alert on first failure but initiate an immediate retry in 30 seconds and if retry fails then alert. This prevents false positives and is a feature that products such as uptrends performs as default
SCOM has no that kind of feature
2) How do I alert on with just one alert of transaction failure instead of each of the components of the transaction monitor failure. Example our first failure threw 10 alerts encompassing each part of the transaction
a) Right click web application transaction Monitoring object --> View Management Pack Object --> View Monitors
b) Expanse the web application transaction monitor --> entity Health --> Availability --> Web Application XXXX
c) Open the monitor properties of Request X -XXX and uncheck "Generate alerts for this monitor"
3) How do I create an uptime report to show monthly and quarterly uptime for the website based on the transaction monitoring.
a) go to Monitoring workspace --> Web Application Transaction Monitoring --> Web Application State
b) select the web application transaction entity and click Availability Report task on task pane
c) Select the report period and run

Alert Monitor config

Experts,
I was been trying to working on setting up the Alert Monitor in APO. But I am not sure how to configure and make it work. Till now I have done the following:
Created the Alert profile with AMON1 in the application specific alert profile.
Selected the alert type-Availability Check Shortage.
Defined the location/product
Linked the alert profile to overall alert profile.
Saved
Created an order wherein the availability was short.
It goes to APO for rule based atp wherein the order is not completely confirmed.
Checked the alert profile in that screen but I see no alerts.
Do let me know if I am doing it the right way. If not then please let me know the way to configure the alert monitor.
Thanks in advance
Karan

Hi Karan, I think you need to run alert determination in /sapapo/amon1 for the overall profile.

How set up alert Monitor with available to promise profile?!

Gurus,
I read a lot of notes about alert profile but I ´ve been in doubt.
I set the monitor alert in /sapapo/amon1:
- Selected alert type
- Selected some products and my allocation
- Assigned alert profile - defined the bucket
Check instruction:
- Activated "ATP Alert Act."
I vent seen any place to assign my alert profile in /sapapo/bop. Is it possible or necessary?
When I redetermine the alerts for my profile in /sapapo/amon1 any alerts are showed.
I don´t want to use macros to create alert.
I created a scenary to see an alert:
My scenary
Availability: 100
Order confirmed: 100
I changed my orders to 50.
Availability: 50
Order confirmed: 100
Execute alert monitor
Result: No warning
I´m glad for your attention...
Best Regards!

Alert monitoring on Cross-company

Hi,
I have a question as below:
There are 3 company code:
    company A : sales company (make-to-order);
    company B: finished products manufacturing company (make-to-order);
    company C: parts manufacturing company (make-to-stock);
The business scenario is:
Sales orders are created in company A,   corresponding production orders should be created automatically in company B,   but company B needs to buy some parts from company C,
The requirement is,
If some production delay happened in company B and C,
how can I get warning message or alert monitoring
by the sales orders in company A?
Please kindly help.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi ,
Inspite of the production delay in B & C plants you can still create a SO in A.But there will be no message/Alert will be displayed.You can execute ATP(Avail to Promise) check in SO which will display the material availability date and also the availability check.If you need still some Alert message may be obtained by an enhancement.I am not sure if there is any STD message for this.
Hope this helps.

Questions on Alert monitor

Hi,
I have few questions on alert monitor.
1. If we create an alert and have it as default macro, does it display in interactive planning book without a alert profile assignment? or should we assign an alert profile to see alerts in planning book. I remember that we just need alert profile if we need to check the alerts in a separate screen for our convenience.
2. Is alert profile assignment specific to a user? If that's so, then how we assign different profiles to different users? any transaction? or are they specific to a selection or planning book or version?
3. In Application specific alert profile, in SDP tab, under "SDP - Database Macro Alerts", I see few alerts types apart from standard ones. These were actually our previous alert macros. How did they get created like a alert type?
4. I created a simple macro with change color of cell to red if a condition is satisfied. Also raise an alert for that and assigned it to default. When I go back to the SDP94 screen and run the macro, my cells are highlighted as red whenever the condition is satisfied but when I click on the alerts icons, I get a blue information message "No alerts exist for your selection". When I click on the icon, it gives me a window saying " Internal error analyzing SDP alert".
Can somebody help me understand what's going wrong?
Thanks.

I think you can select that standard type.
However since it was SAP delivered, we chose not to, and instead created more line items in SPRO with text such as "Alert Message 1" etc. We created numbers ranging from 9001 to 9010. While defining the custom alert, under alert type, it showed up these numbers that were setup in SPRO. I would assume that just like you pick up 9001, you should be able to pick up 4100 or 4101 (alert type numbers) which is the standard status alert. If you run out of the numbers, you would definitely need to add more in SPRO settings. Remember the alert text is picked from SPRO, where you can change and make it more meaningful so that users can do sorting on those alerts.

Short dump while running Alert Monitor

Hi,
I am getting a short dump while determining alert in Alert Monitor through T. Code /SAPAPO/AMON1. The error says as below:
Runtime Errors BCD_NO_SIGN
Short text : A packed number contains no sign.
What happened? : Error in the ABAP Application Program, The current ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Information on where terminated : Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" - in "FB_OUTTAB_SORT2".

Hi Axon Generic,
Please checkon the following
1) In the overall profile of alert monitor, check the relative
time interval whether specified correctly
2) Under the alert profile in Overall profile, check the
threshold values are defined correctly
3) Check the SAP Note 151709 , 189061
Please confirm your findings.

Navigation attribute in the Alert Monitor

Hi All,
In the alert monitor in SAP APO the display table contains only characteristics and not the navigational attribute.
Is there any way through which we can display the navigational attribute also?
Thanks,
Diana

Diana ,
This is how we handled it when we had a situation similar to yours. Since the navigational attribute was also a BW info object , we pulled the value for the navigational attribute to APO-BW . We then put custom logic in the BAdI to pull data for the navigational attribute and display the same in the alert monitor.
Your ABAP team should be able to help you in putting the custom logic in the BAdI . To save the value to the info object you need to have an idea about APO-BW.
Thanks

In Alert Monitor - Is it possible to add Price or Cost as Column Value?

Hey Folks
I am trying to define a methodology to manage and work on the exceptions in the Alert Monitor,
and I would like to carry on the ABC analysis based on Price or Cost?
The alert monitor was defined prior to my time on this latest project.
Would it be simple to add or difficult to link the price from values from whatever table they come from,
to show as column fields? so they ABC analysis can use that column as the Ratio one?
If anyone think this is feasible let me know.
thanks for your feedback
JD Loera

Hello!
Awesome, thanks for the response, I will put that in my project list and will link with the Basis/ABAP team.
Cheers!
Business Procees note to all out there in *APO DP Business Processes and Planning.*
If you use the alert monitor, as you know you can define there macro generated alerts and analyise through the variances from Target and Actual Values.
Also, you can still use the ABC analysis there, to identify A B C of the results that you get ( in the example above, % of variance )
However, from a Business Process bang for your buck and time. By adding the Material Cost or Price, the Demand Planner or SNP Planner can also do the ABC analysis based on the price as well, and really then identify the items with higher value to work with,as those are important to always keep in check. (ABC from the fiancial point of view so to speak)
Cheers all, worth to think about for your own Alert Monitor processes.

XI Alert Categories in CCMS alert monitor

We defined an alert category through ALRTCATDEF and we generate alerts using SALRT_CREATE_LOCAL in the Graphical and Java mapping. We would like these alerts to be visible in CCMS alert monitor in addition to XI alert inbox. We have done config specified in the SAP documentation to get the RWB alerts in CCMS alert monitor, but only the alert categories for which alert rules are defined in RWB are visible, at the moment. IS this because we dont have an alert rule for the alert categories called by SALRT_CREATE_LOCAL,we are not able to see them in CCMS? Is there a way to get around this problem and get these alerts also in the CCMS ?

Alert Monitor with exceptions in WAD

Hi All,
I'm trying to use alert monitor in web application designer to show two queries with red, green and yellow statuses. In my web template, I have inserted two queries in two tables (both queries have exceptions) and alert monitor as web item. In properties(context menu), I choose infocube on which these queries are build,marked the red, yellow, green status ,mentioned them in list of columns entry and checked the display toolbar entry.
When I execute , It shows the display of alert monitor drop down box with functions (from Info provider, info area, queries..etc) and alert boxes for red, yellow and green. If I check on red box and uncheck other boxes, still I'm seeing all records with other status as well. There is no change in the query result if I switch from red , green or yellow. And also I am not seeing how many rows of red , green or yellow alerts which i should as i have selected in the list of columns entry.
I've set the exceptions in Reporting Agent for these two queries also.
Any Idea why I'm not getting the functionality of alert monitor. Do I need to set up something for alert monitor to work in reporting agent or in alert management in order to use .Am i missing something in configuration
Any ideas and solutions..
Thanks in advance,

LauQ,
Did you figure out the solution?? Is it something to do with the settings of exceptions in reporting agent. I strongly feel so, as the configuration for alert monitor is straight forward in WAD. There is a How to Guide document on..How to Intergrate BW reporting agent with Alert Framework. Did you have a look at it. I'm glancing it right now.. You can find in sdn.. May be that helps.. Please let me know if you get something... I'm still working on this issue..
Thanks ,

Alert monitor for messages in error status

Hi, it is possible to configure de Xi Alert Monitor to show in the message body the error that shows the message monitoring?
In the SOAP header when there is an error y can see a tag "error" and it shows this info (for example):
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">STARTUP_EXCEPTION</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>com.sap.aii.utilxi.prop.api.PropertiesException</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>Unable to read configuration data (ExchangeProfil~</SAP:P2>
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Error occurred while starting the Java application "IntegrationServices"; restart the application</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
It is a way to show any of this information in the message body that sends the Alert monitor?
Regards.
Mariano.

Hi,
you will not be able to get the entire msg payload of SXMB_MONI in alert.
But you can create a alert category and in its Long text you can have variables for Error Category and Error Text. So you will get alert mails with Error category and Error Text.

ALERT MONITOR

Hello
I have configured the Alert Monitor, Alert is triggered, the message comes on the external mail.
But I have 2 questions related to the Alert Monitor.
1) Explain what the appointment of the following fields in the t-code ALRTCATDEF:
alrtcatdef -> Properties -> Max. No. of Dels
alrtcatdef -> Properties -> Expiry Time in Min.
If I understand correctly, these two parameters make it possible to limit the number sent to external e-mail messages to one Alert category for a specified period of time?
If so, I have this option does not work, it is ignored.
That is, point out in t-code ALRTCATDEF: 3 posts in 5 minutes. 10 generating error messages. I get 10 messages per mailbox.
(Error is generated by running a report, calling class PROXY, which obviously causes an error).
How to limit the number of outgoing messages to external mail Alert for one category for a specified period of time?
2) When an error occurs in the JDBC adapter (eg: "ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into (" PI "." MY_TABLE "." FIELD_1 ")") can not get data from the container (t-code ALRTCATDEF):
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT (Data Type - CHAR70)
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES (Data Type - ALPF_STRING_TAB)
However, other containers, normally return their contents.
In t-code: alrtcatdef -> Long and Short Text -> Long Text (E-Mail, Fax) wrote the following:
Error in Adapter Engine: &SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT&.
Full text errors in Adapter Engine: &SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES []&.
How can I put in an error message JDBC adapter?

I know and use, but it has many disadvantages.

The fact that SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES reflects more complete information about the error, I know. But I did not receive any information from SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT, and SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES.
Containers returns NULL, while the RWB in Message Monitoring error is displayed.

CCMS Alert Monitor (edit monitor-configuration.xml. ?)

Hi Friends
I'm trying to change the default polling time for the CCMS Alert Monitor, 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
In http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/e5/5d1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm you can read:
Accuracy
The default polling period for the monitor is 30 minutes. If you want to have shorter polling periods, you can change them in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator as follows:
1. Choose Availability and Performance Management ® Resource Monitoring ® Java System Reports (alias: /nwa/java-sys-reports).
2. Select an arbitrary Number of errors entry in the monitoring tree of the Adapter Engine (leaf node).
3. Choose Configuration in the right-hand pane.
4. Choose Edit in the dialog box that appears.
5. Change the polling period to 5 minutes, for instance.
6. Choose Save and wait until saving is finished (be patient, since this may take a while).
7. Choose Configuration Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Java Configuration Browser.
8. Choose apps ® sap.com ® com.sap.aii.af.app ® Monitoring Configurator ® monitor-configuration.xml.
9. In the xml file, change the polled-by-template period to the same value as above, for example, 5 minutes.
10. Save the modified xml file.
11. Choose Operations Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Start & Stop ® Java EE Services to restart the Monitoring service to apply the changes.
But in step 9, the xml file I've found in my PI 7.1 (SP6) is this:
<monitor-configuration>
<monitor-semantics />
<monitor-tree />
</monitor-configuration>
Also, there is no way to modify that file, you can only display it or download it.
can anyone tell me how to edit the file.
regards
raja

Hi Raja,
This is the same as doing the following:
You can locate the monitor-configuration.xml file in the SDA com.sap.aii.af.app.sda (inside META-INF folder). You can find this SDA in the install directory of PI installation. In this XML file please locate and edit the following tag:
<template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                        <polled-by-template period="30" unit="MINUTE">
                            <generating-resource
                                name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                            <template-attribute-mapping>
                                <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                            </template-attribute-mapping>
                        </polled-by-template>
                    </template-info>
Change the above to the following *************
<template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                        <polled-by-template period="5" unit="MINUTE">
                            <generating-resource
                                name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                            <template-attribute-mapping>
                                <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                            </template-attribute-mapping>
                        </polled-by-template>
                    </template-info>
The main change is the polled-by-template value from 30 mins to 5 mins as per your req ******
Construct back the SDA (you can search SDN for that) with this edited XML and then redeploy this SDA with the help of JSPM tool.
This will re-start the PI Server for the changes to come into effect.
I hope this helps.
PS: You can consult your BASIS consultant to locate this sda and re-deploy it on PI Server.

Alert Monitor Issue

Hi APO Experts,
I have a Planning Book/Data View which has 4 macros generating standard status alerts for the same book/view under different situations. Now when i create an over profile and an sdp profile for this book/dv and do the redetermine alerts after ruuning those macros in bg. Am not able to see all the alerts listed in the alert monitor even though scenario calls for the alerts to generated.
PB/DV --XX
Macro 1-- for KF1
Macro 2 -- for KF2
Macro 3--for KF3
Macro 4--for KF4.
After running the macros in the bg, when i load the selection in the pb, even though i see that for all the kf values populated in the pb should have created the alerts. i am not able to see those in the alert monitor. Please help me , where i am missing the link in setting up the alerts for the same planning book/dv having multiple macros generating the alerts.
Kindly help me, as we r in the testing phase and am not able to find a fix for this.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi,
First of all , Assign the SDP profile in the interactive planning book by the dropdown menu and check by running the macro in interactive planning book that whether the alerts are generated in interactive view.
If the alert are generated in interactive view , then the issue could be due to default macros not included in your backgtround running step. Include the default macros in the background job as the first step.
If the alerts are not generated in the interactive view itself, then check for below points:
a) If the KF values fits into condition defined in alert macro ?
b) Are the KF , alert condition and planning book / data view defined inside the alert step same as required. Sometimes if you copy the alert macro from other planning book / DV macro then inside the alert step , the pb/dv remains old.
c) Are the PB/DV defind in alert profile same as required ? Is there any threshold maintained for alert ? Is the selection profile correctly maintained inside alert profile ?
I hope it should resolve your issue.
Let me know if it helps.
Regards
Gaurav
