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.

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 ,

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

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for the reply.
OS07N is getting updated . I found the report RSDBMON0 , and run the same and it fetches the performance data.
But the issue is , I have to run it manually, then only its getting updated daily. Does anyone know the standard program for the same (report RSDBMON0)? Once I run the report in SE38, the performance getting updated for that date.
Also, I have another warning in DB02 > health . I.e Linked Server Exist . Can anyone shed some light on the cause and resolution of this warning .

Alert monitor for Forecast Exceptions?

Does Flexible Planning offer any type of Alert monitor for flagging Forecast Exceptions? We're creating a statistical forecast in MC94 and would like to set up some automatic triggers or alerts. I know APO has this functionality, but I have yet to be able to find any type of exception reporting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DB2 Alert Monitoring greyed out, CCMS showing red.

Hi guys,
I am a BASIS admin novice, and currently i have encountered 2 issues and need advice from the experts here =)
(1)
Recently, i have encountered a ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME runtime error in my server. Unable and not knowing how to resolve, i restart the entired server. However upon successful start up, while the server is running fine, i got the Time Zone Inconsistency error in on Client 000 and Client 300 when executing certain Tcode, example st03.
(2)
While server is running fine currently, i run DB13, under the Alerts->Alert Monitor, my DB2 Alert Monitoring is greyout out and when i go to RZ20, the CCMS for Monitoring Template -> Databases , rest of all except the DB connection is Green.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you in advance =)

Hi,
ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME runtime error in my server
Have you referred this SAP Note 447839 - ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME ?
SAP Kernel release ?
SAP_BASIS level ?
OS release?
Have you referred dev_w* traces for the same ?
Also look at SAP Note 110368 - FAQ - CCMS MONITORING INFRASTRUCTURE and other relative notes for your second problem.

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.

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

Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello UncleBob62,
It could be the display driver that is not properly working
1. Click on the start icon
2. Right click on computer and go to properties
3. Select Device Manager
4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
The computer screen will go blank
On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?

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 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.

Rajeev Gupta
