Alert Recipients - ALM

Dear All,
I am configuring to forward "CCMS alerts for Background job failure" from the satellite systems to the ALM and to the external communication method like SMS.
Right now it is configured in such a way that when a background job fails in the satellite system then it will send a SMS to the recipients assigned under the Fixed recipient tab in the alert category.
Now we want to segregate and send SMS to the recipient based on the " user login" under which the background job fails. That is for example if a Background job fails under the user login "AAAA" then it should send SMS to a recipient say "AA". If a background job fails under user login "BBBB" then it should send SMS to a recipient say "BB".
I will be grateful if any one could give me some suggestions regarding how to achieve this requirement.
please revert for clarifications
Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan.P

Configuring Alert management (ALM)

Hi
I am planning to configure Alert management (ALM) for CCMS .Can anyone help me with the steps involved? I have gone through few posts in forums but its all abt configuring it in XI.I am thinking of solution manager as the Central ALM server. Is solution manager have any feature similar to Alert management so that I can use that instead of ALM?
Thanks in Advance
Prince

Alert Recipients in CRM

Hi All,
Requirement:
Alert category defined with elements passed to the container using the ALERT_EXIT..BAdI. Alert gets triggered using the action. recipient receives the mail too with all the values required.
Used Rule based recipients option to trigger to recipients but the problem is that, there are Org. Units which are responsible for certain regions depending on where the customer site is.
ex: if Customer site has region TX, then an RSM and ASM, which are positions assigned under South West Ops (TX) should be determined and alert sent to the BP/USER assigned at this position.
So on..depending on the region of the customer, the respective org unit and the positions should be determined and alert sent to the respective partners.
Challenge :
Though I have defined the Rule and the container elements, my binding in the "Process Data Flow" seems to be incorrect.
Has anyone worked on a similar requirement?
Kindly revert.
Regards,
Ashwin

I am not aware of any way of mass updating the values.
For the user navigation you first need to customize your navigation bar so that it contains the workcenter called CT-WORKLST. This will make the Worklist visible in the navigation bar.
When the users then click Worklist they subsequently have to click on "Personalize alerts" which will take them to the page where they can select/deselect e-mail and also subscribe/unsubscribe to specific alert categories. To be able to do the latter I believe you also need to give users authorizations via auth. object S_ALM_ROLE.

No J2EE Alert in ALM generated?

we have set up ALM, it's working fine with the report
rsalerttest
we have defined a rule with no restrictions and * *
but when we have a system error in the adapter framework
messages, no alert is generated
Report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET is scheduled
who has an idea, why there's no alert generated?
it's XI 3.0 with SP13

Alerts - Recipients based on conditions

We have a requirement that based on some conditions an alert will be sent to the recipients. For Example, If an employee completed 90 days in office , it should send notification to an employee A. If an employee completed 100 days, it should send notification to Employee A and Employee B.
Is it possible from a single alert definition to send to different recipients based on the above conditions? or do i need to define an alert for each condition?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on your condition, take that email address as a column in your alert query and use that email address as a recipients.
for E.g :
SELECT P.FULL_NAME, XX_GET_RECP(P.PERSON_ID) EMAIL_ADD
INTO &FULL_NAME, &EMAIL_ADD
FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F P;
Whereas your To: column in alert detail will contain &EMAIL_ADD.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Ayaz

Regarding Alert Recipients

Dear all,
I have implemented Alerts in landscape and working fine. Now the requirement is
1) Operations team should receive alerts related to certain interface errors only
2) MDM team should receive alerts related to MDM Interface errors only
3) OTC team should receive alert emails to OTC related Interface errors only
As far as i know, we have to create separate alert categories for each and every interface to define recipients related to particular interface.
Is there any other way apart from this??
Regards
Edited by: Bhavana Ch on Feb 28, 2011 6:51 PM

As far as i know, there is no way to identify the team by group of Interfaces. We can only identify Interface by interface
The alert category which you created should have the team as receipients. You can configure that by any of the following ways-
1. Create a group mail Id for the team and give it in fixed recepients.
2. Use 'Subscription by authorization' and the team should subscribe only for alert category meant for them.
The alert rules which you create in RWB - 'Alert Configuration' should have the correct filtering criteria.
For example, the alert rules for MDM errors should use the Alert category created for MDM errors so that only users who subscribed/configured for that alert category will receive the alerts.

Dynamic alert messages

Hi All,
I have got alert categories created by client,I have to use alert categories and dynamic alert message in BPM.i am not authorized for transaction ALRTCATDEF.Can you tell me where i can see dynamic alert messages for alert categories created.Is there any transaction or I can check in RWB in alert configuration
Best Regards,
Harleen Kaur Chadha

Alert Configuration:- You use alert configuration to have the system informed you about the errors that occurs during message processing.
*Used for alerts that occurs at IE.
Alert Management: When you define the integration process you can specify that if a particular situation occurs at runtime a alert has to be thrown using alert management.
*Used to handle business specific errors.
For example if the stock falls below certain level an alert has to be thorwn to the specified user using the integration process in this case you have to follow steps defined in alert management
Defining Alert Categories
During alert category definition, you specify the alert text, expiry time, escalation, and all other conditions related to the sending of this kind of alert.
1. Ensure that you are in change mode in the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
2. Choose Create Alert Category.
3. In the Alert Category column, enter a technical key. Choose a key that describes the situation that triggers the alert, such as CUSTCANC for a category responding to a customer cancellation. This key is language-independent and identifies the alert category. The standard namespace convention applies to the key, this means keys Z* und Y* belong to the customer name space.
4. On the Properties tab page:
a. In the Description field, enter a description for the alert category. Choose a description that is informative with respect to the content of the alert category. The description is language-dependent.
b. If required, you can select a classification in the Classification field. If you do not choose a specific classification, the category is stored in the classification folder Unclassified. For more information on classifications, see Alert Classification.
c. In the Max. No. of Dels field, specify a maximum number of times that an alert of this category is to be delivered if it is not confirmed. This refers to delivery using a communication channel other than to the recipientu2019s display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox).
d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.

From your error, maybe your profile parameter for alert message server is not properly configured:
I just came cross a post elaborating alerting configuration from Aashish Sinha, hope it helps,
Liang
=====Post from Aashish Sinha=======
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites have to be met in order to use the Alert Management (ALM):
· For using the Alert Inbox (BSP based display program of ALM), the corresponding service has to be activated in the service maintenance transaction SICF. Choose Default_host ? sap ? bc ? bsp ? sap ? alert inbox, and Activate in the context menu.
· For customizing or administration of the Alert Management the corresponding authorization role has to be assigned. The end users do not need any additional authorization.
· The central alert server must be maintained as an RFC destination in transaction SM59 in the local system. If there is no suitable user, you have to create a user for the RFC connection in the central alert system in transaction SU01. To make this RFC destination known as the RFC destination of the Alert Management System in the local system, the central alert server must also be selected as the RFC destination in transaction SALRT1 of the local system or in Settings ? RFC-Destination of Alert Server.
If the central alert server is running on the local system in the same client, you do not have to maintain an RFC destination. In this case, you can simply enter NONE in transaction SALRT1.
· If external communication types, such as e-mail, SMS, and fax are used, these communication types must be correctly configured in SAPconnect, because the alerts are then sent from the central alert system via SAPconnect.
Process Flow
The following describes the process flow from alert configuration (transaction ALRTCATDEF) to alert display and confirmation (for example in the alert inbox transaction ALRTINBOX):
1. Optional: You can define alert classifications. These are useful to group alert categories. For example, you can create an alert classification CRM that contains alert categories referring to CRM. Alert classifications can now have subclassifications. This enables you to build up your own classification hierarchy. Especially, if you use the Alert Mangement (ALM) extensively, classification and subclassification help you to organize your ALM alert landscape and to have a clear overview.
2. For different types of alerts you have to define different categories. The category contains various properties and other specifications that define the alerts within that category, for example expiry date, or the escalation recipient. You can define an alert category to suit your business requirements and assign the category to the corresponding classification. For example, for the alert classification CRM you can create the alert categories Contract Cancelled and Decrease in Sales. When the critical situation defined in the alert category arises, the system recognizes this and sends an alert instance of this category to the recipients determined. The alerts can always be found in the display programs configured for the recipient (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox). Additionally, the alerts are sent via eventual external communication channels, such as e-mail, sms, or fax.
3. You have to determine recipients so that the Alert Management knows who the recipients of alerts of a particular category are and that the correct parties are informed.
4. You can configure the way how alerts are processed. For the general use of the Alert Management you do not have to change the default settings. However, if for example you want to send alerts to third-party systems, or to be able to confirm alerts by SMS/Internet mail, or to have logs written, then you have to configure alert processing.
5. There is a number of Alert Management administration reports that you must schedule according to your requirements. For example, report RSALERTPROC must be executed in order to enable escalation.
6. Alerts of a particular category must be triggered by an application at runtime. Triggering alerts can be done in various ways. You can call a function module directly or use middleware components that trigger alerts, such as the Business Object Repository (BOR), Post Processing Framework (PPF), SAP Workflow, or CCMS.
7. Recipients can view the alerts assigned to them in the UWL of Enteprise Portal, in application-specific display programs, or in the alert inbox. In addition, alerts can be received as e-mail, SMS, or fax, if these external communication channels are configured in SAPconnect.
8. If the problem causing the alert is solved by a recipient, the recipient can confirm the alert, this means its status is changed and it will not be delivered, escalated, or displayed anymore. Alerts are generally confirmed by the recipient in the display program, such as the UWL or Alert Inbox. However, if an alert is sent by Internet mail or SMS message, it is also possible to confirm it by sending an Internet mail or SMS message back to the SAP system. Alert Management uses inbound processing for this.
Hope this will help you.

Alert In Detail

Hi Gurus,
I need What is Alert why we need to use it. For simple F2F scenario also can i use alerts please dont post links. Explain me brief. When it requires exactly.

Hi Karthik,
Alert Configuration:- You use alert configuration to have the system informed you about the errors that occurs during message processing.
*Used for alerts that occurs at IE.
Alert Management: When you define the integration process you can specify that if a particular situation occurs at runtime a alert has to be thrown using alert management.
*Used to handle business specific errors.
For example if the stock falls below certain level an alert has to be thorwn to the specified user using the integration process in this case you have to follow steps defined in alert management
Defining Alert Categories
During alert category definition, you specify the alert text, expiry time, escalation, and all other conditions related to the sending of this kind of alert.
1. Ensure that you are in change mode in the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
2. Choose Create Alert Category.
3. In the Alert Category column, enter a technical key. Choose a key that describes the situation that triggers the alert, such as CUSTCANC for a category responding to a customer cancellation. This key is language-independent and identifies the alert category. The standard namespace convention applies to the key, this means keys Z* und Y* belong to the customer name space.
4. On the Properties tab page:
a. In the Description field, enter a description for the alert category. Choose a description that is informative with respect to the content of the alert category. The description is language-dependent.
b. If required, you can select a classification in the Classification field. If you do not choose a specific classification, the category is stored in the classification folder Unclassified. For more information on classifications, see Alert Classification.
c. In the Max. No. of Dels field, specify a maximum number of times that an alert of this category is to be delivered if it is not confirmed. This refers to delivery using a communication channel other than to the recipients display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox).
d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.
Prerequisites
You have started the Runtime Workbench from the SAP Exchange Infrastructure start page and have selected the Alert Configuration tab page on the initial screen.
Procedure
To create an alert category, proceed as follows:
1. Choose Create Alert Category.
You can also create the alert category directly by calling transaction ALRTCATDEF. In both cases you require the authorizations of the role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR.
2. Enter the following values:
- The receiver of the alert
- The title of the alert
- The text of the alert, including container variables that are automatically created and filled at runtime.
- The follow-up activity
- Specify the URL of the required follow-up activity. At runtime, the link address of message monitoring is always entered as the standard follow-up activity.
3. Once you have created a new alert category, choose Update Table to display the category in the alert category selection table

Example Configuration: Forwarding Alerts to the ALM
Use
This procedure shows as an example the configuration steps that you must perform to forward alerts to Alert Management. In this example, you want to assign different alert categories to two monitoring areas:
·        An alert category CCMS CPU is to be created in the ALM for alerts in nodes that belong to the monitoring object CPU.
·        An alert category CCMS DIALOG is to be created in the ALM for alerts of the MTE class R3DialogResponseTime (average response time of the dialog service).
Since the alert category is transferred as a parameter of the method definition for the auto-reaction method CCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM, you must therefore create two different method definitions from the template, which you can then assign to the relevant nodes.
For a general description of this process and important prerequisites, see Forwarding Alerts to Alert Management (ALM).
Procedure
Proceed as follows to display CCMS alerts using ALM. CEN stands for the central monitoring system.
Creating an RFC Connection Between the CCMS and the ALM
       1.      You require a user for the RFC connection between client 0 of the central monitoring system (CEN) and the work client of the ALM system. To provide this, start user maintenance in the work client of the ALM system by calling transaction SU01.
       2.      Create the communication user ALERT, and enter the following parameters:
Tab Page
Entry
Address
Enter any last name.
E-Mail/ Other communication
Specify an e-mail address. This is to be the senders address of the e-mails with which you are informed of inbound alerts by the ALM.
You can also use Other Communication to specify the addresses of other types of communication (fax, SMS).
Logon Data
Enter any initial password, and repeat your entry.
Roles/Profiles
Assign the role SAP_BC_ALM_ALERT_USER to the user.
You can also create the corresponding role. The authorization objects for sending alerts are S_OC_SEND and S_RFC.
       3.      Save your entries.
       4.      In client 0 of the central monitoring system (CEN), create an RFC connection to the work client of the ALM system. To do this, start Display and Maintain RFC Destinations by calling transaction SM59.
       5.      Choose the Create button and then enter the following parameters:
Input Field
Entry
RFC Destination
Enter any name for the RFC destination.
Connection Type
Enter 3 for Connection to ABAP System.
Description
Enter any description for the RFC destination; confirm your entries up to now by choosing Enter ().
Technical Settings
Specify the desired server or the desired logon group of the ALM system.
Logon/Security
Specify the logon data of the ALERT user created above. Ensure that you specify the client in which you created the user.
       6.      Save your entries.
       7.      Make this RFC destination known as the RFC destination of the Alert Management Systems in client 0 of CEN. To do this, start transaction SALRT1, and enter the destination created above in the input field RFC Dest.of Alert Server.
Configuring Alert Management
You want to forward alerts from the areas Dialog and CPU to the ALM in the context of monitoring. Since each area is overseen by different employees, you require two different alert categories in the ALM. You want to specify a fixed user as the recipient for both categories. In addition, an escalation user is to be informed after 120 minutes.
       8.      Change the alert categories, by calling transaction ALRTCATDEF in the work client of the ALM system.
       9.      Switch to change mode by choosing the Display/Change button .
   10.      You are on the Change Alert Categories screen. Since all alerts from the monitoring infrastructure have the alert classification CCMS ALERTS in the ALM, choose the classification by double-clicking it.
   11.      To create a new alert category, select the existing category CCMS TEMPLATE as a template in the table in the upper right, and choose Copy Alert Category (). Enter CCMS CPU as the name of the new category. Create the category CCMS DIALOG in the same way.
   12.      Both new alert categories are now displayed in the list of existing categories. To start the method, choose the node by double clicking it. Activate the indicator Escalation Active in the Properties group box and enter any Escalation Recipient and a Tolerance Time in Minutes.
The report RSALERTPROC must be scheduled as a job for the relevant classifications and categories so that escalation can be performed. The Escalate option must be selected in the report for this. If the report is not executed as an escalation job, the escalation option is available for selection on the Properties tab page in the configuration transaction ALRTCATDEF, but the alert is not escalated.
The report is also used for the reorganization and multiple sending of unconfirmed alerts. It may, therefore, be useful to schedule multiple jobs with different variants of the report RSALERTPROC, depending on their function. For example, you could schedule a job for the escalation every five minutes, and another for the reorganization every weekend.
   13.      To set fixed recipients for the selected category, choose the Fixed Recipients () button, and then choose New Entries on the screen that appears after this, Change Fixed Alert Recipients: Overview. Specify fixed recipients for both new categories.
Note that if you are using the external communication methods e-mail, SMS, and fax, all recipients and the RFC user must have a valid communication method, which is maintained in SAPconnect, in user maintenance (transaction SU01).
   14.      Ensure that the Dynamic Text indicator is activated in the Properties of the alert categories, since the text for the alert is determined not in the ALM, but rather in the CCMS.
   15.      If alerts are to be confirmed using the external communication methods e-mail and SMS, you must set the sender for the alert information. To do this, choose Settings ® Configuration in the menu of the transaction ALRTCATDEF. The View: Change Alerts Configuration: Detail screen appears. Enter the user ALERT in the Inbound Processing group box. This means that ALERT is the sender of the alert information.
   16.      Save your entries.
   17.      In Alert Management, you can determine the times at which you want to be informed about an alert, and whether external communication methods (mail, SMS, fax) are also to be used. This is done in a BSP Application, which you can call using transaction ALRTINBOX ® Personalization or with the following URL:
/sap/bc/bsp/sap/alertinbox
The protocol Prot is either http or https. The Hostname is the name of the application server on which the BSP application is to be executed, including the domain and extension.
Example:
http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/alertinbox
   18.      A screen on which you can specify the desired delivery method depending on the time appears. By default, alerts that occur are sent to the recipient, irrespective of time, in the UWL, application, or Alert Inbox and are also sent by e-mail, if this external communication method is configured. You also have the following options:
¡        Choose the time-independent delivery radio button and, if applicable, the additional external delivery types (Mail, SMS, Fax).
External communication methods must be configured in SAPconnect. The communication data, such as e-mail addresses, must also be maintained in the user settings for the recipient and the RFC user in transaction SU01.
¡        Choose the time-dependent delivery radio button and, if applicable, the additional external delivery types (Mail, SMS, Fax). You can specify a factory calendar and the type of delivery with the corresponding time periods.
   19.      You can also specify a substitute.
   20.      Save your entries.
Configuring SAPconnect
If alerts are to be sent to users using the external communication methods e-mail, SMS, and fax, these must be configured in SAPconnect (transaction SCOT). The communication data, such as e-mail addresses, must also be maintained in the user settings for the recipient and the RFC user in transaction SU01.
This configuration is performed in the work client of the ALM system.
For detailed documentation about SAPconnect, see:
·        Quick Guide to SMTP Configuration
·        Guidelines for HTTP Configuration
Tailoring the Auto-Reaction Method
Since you want to assign two different alert categories to different nodes, first copy the original method CCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM twice, so that you can then set the CATEGORY parameter of the two copies to the value CCMS CPU or CCMS DIALOG.
   21.      In the work client of CEN, start the Customizing transaction for the monitoring architecture by starting transaction RZ21.
   22.      In the Methods group box, select Method Definitions and choose Display Overview.
   23.      Select the method CCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM and choose Copy (). Specify ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_CPU as the name. Create a second copy with the name ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_DIALOG in the same way.
   24.      In the list, select the new method definition ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_CPU, and choose the Edit Data button (). Switch to change mode by choosing Display « Change ().
   25.      Switch to the Execution tab page. Ensure that the Any Server radio button is activated in the Execute Method group box for nodes that are supplied with values by the CCMS AgentsSAPCCMSR.
   26.      Switch to the Parameters tab page. Specify the parameter value CCMS CPU for the parameter CATEGORY.
   27.      Switch to the Release tab page, and release the method as an auto-reaction method. Save your entries.
   28.      Adjust the method definition ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_DIALOG in the same way; choose the parameter value CCMS DIALOG for the CATEGORY parameter here. Save your entries.
Assigning the Method as a Local Auto-Reaction Method
In this example, you want to assign the created method definitions to the monitoring object CPU and the MTE class R3DialogResponseTime (see Assigning Methods to MTE Classes or Individual MTEs).
   29.      In the work client of CEN, start the Alert Monitor by calling transaction RZ20.
   30.      In the monitor list, expand the SAP CCMS Monitor Templates monitor set, and start the Entire System monitor by double-clicking it.
   31.      Expand the subtree of any application server and select the subtree Operating System ® CPU there. Choose Properties. In this way, you set properties for the monitoring object CPU, which are inherited by all monitoring attributes of this object that do not have their own method assignment.
   32.      The system displays the Monitoring: Properties and Methods screen. Select the name of the MTE Class (CPU) in the header data of the screen by double-clicking it. In this way, you change the properties of the MTE class CPU, not just the properties of the subtree of the selected server.
   33.      The Monitoring: Methods screen appears. Switch to change mode by choosing Display « Change ().
   34.      In the Auto-Reaction Method group box, choose the Method Name radio button and enter ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_CPU in the associated field. Save your entries.
   35.      Set the method assignment for the MTE class R3DialogResponseTime, to which you assign the auto-reaction method ZCCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM_DIALOG, in the same way. There are nodes of this MTE class in every subtree of an application server under R3Services ® Dialog ® Response Time.
Result
You have set up the forwarding of selected alerts (CPU, dialog response time) to Alert Management. If an alert occurs in one of the assigned nodes of the alert monitor, the specified recipients are immediately informed in the Alert Inbox (transaction ALRTINBOX) using the ALM. If escalation is activated and the alerts are not confirmed within a defined period of time, the escalation users receive the alerts.

Authorization to Create the Alert Rules?

Hello All,
I created the Alert category in ALRTCATDEF transaction, now when i want to create the Alert rules in RWB.
Add Rule and Change Rule is in disable mode. my user have SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR authorization,
please tell me any other authorization role required to create the alert rules in RWB.
Thanks and Regards,
chinna

Hi,
Steps of alert configuration :
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites have to be met in order to use the Alert Management (ALM):
u2022 For using the Alert Inbox (BSP based display program of ALM), the corresponding service has to be activated in the service maintenance transaction SICF. Choose Default_host ® sap ® bc ® bsp ® sap ® alert inbox, and Activate in the context menu.
u2022 For customizing or administration of the Alert Management the corresponding authorization role has to be assigned. The end users do not need any additional authorization.
u2022 The central alert server must be maintained as an RFC destination in transaction SM59 in the local system. If there is no suitable user, you have to create a user for the RFC connection in the central alert system in transaction SU01. To make this RFC destination known as the RFC destination of the Alert Management System in the local system, the central alert server must also be selected as the RFC destination in transaction SALRT1 of the local system or in Settings ® RFC-Destination of Alert Server.
If the central alert server is running on the local system in the same client, you do not have to maintain an RFC destination. In this case, you can simply enter NONE in transaction SALRT1.
u2022 If external communication types, such as e-mail, SMS, and fax are used, these communication types must be correctly configured in SAPconnect, because the alerts are then sent from the central alert system via SAPconnect.
Process Flow
The following describes the process flow from alert configuration (transaction ALRTCATDEF) to alert display and confirmation (for example in the alert inbox transaction ALRTINBOX):
1. Optional: You can define alert classifications. These are useful to group alert categories. For example, you can create an alert classification CRM that contains alert categories referring to CRM. Alert classifications can now have subclassifications. This enables you to build up your own classification hierarchy. Especially, if you use the Alert Mangement (ALM) extensively, classification and subclassification help you to organize your ALM alert landscape and to have a clear overview.
2. For different types of alerts you have to define different categories. The category contains various properties and other specifications that define the alerts within that category, for example expiry date, or the escalation recipient. You can define an alert category to suit your business requirements and assign the category to the corresponding classification. For example, for the alert classification CRM you can create the alert categories Contract Cancelled and Decrease in Sales. When the critical situation defined in the alert category arises, the system recognizes this and sends an alert instance of this category to the recipients determined. The alerts can always be found in the display programs configured for the recipient (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox). Additionally, the alerts are sent via eventual external communication channels, such as e-mail, sms, or fax.
3. You have to determine recipients so that the Alert Management knows who the recipients of alerts of a particular category are and that the correct parties are informed.
4. You can configure the way how alerts are processed. For the general use of the Alert Management you do not have to change the default settings. However, if for example you want to send alerts to third-party systems, or to be able to confirm alerts by SMS/Internet mail, or to have logs written, then you have to configure alert processing.
5. There is a number of Alert Management administration reports that you must schedule according to your requirements. For example, report RSALERTPROC must be executed in order to enable escalation.
6. Alerts of a particular category must be triggered by an application at runtime. Triggering alerts can be done in various ways. You can call a function module directly or use middleware components that trigger alerts, such as the Business Object Repository (BOR), Post Processing Framework (PPF), SAP Workflow, or CCMS.
7. Recipients can view the alerts assigned to them in the UWL of Enteprise Portal, in application-specific display programs, or in the alert inbox. In addition, alerts can be received as e-mail, SMS, or fax, if these external communication channels are configured in SAPconnect.
8. If the problem causing the alert is solved by a recipient, the recipient can confirm the alert, this means its status is changed and it will not be delivered, escalated, or displayed anymore. Alerts are generally confirmed by the recipient in the display program, such as the UWL or Alert Inbox. However, if an alert is sent by Internet mail or SMS message, it is also possible to confirm it by sending an Internet mail or SMS message back to the SAP system. Alert Management uses inbound processing for this.

Alerts to external mail

Hi ,.
Step by step mayerial on Alerts to external mail
Regards,
radhika

hi,
Alert Configuration:- You use alert configuration to have the system informed you about the errors that occurs during message processing.
*Used for alerts that occurs at IE.
defining Alert Categories
During alert category definition, you specify the alert text, expiry time, escalation, and all other conditions related to the sending of this kind of alert.
1. Ensure that you are in change mode in the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
2. Choose Create Alert Category.
3. In the Alert Category column, enter a technical key. Choose a key that describes the situation that triggers the alert, such as CUSTCANC for a category responding to a customer cancellation. This key is language-independent and identifies the alert category. The standard namespace convention applies to the key, this means keys Z* und Y* belong to the customer name space.
4. On the Properties tab page:
a. In the Description field, enter a description for the alert category. Choose a description that is informative with respect to the content of the alert category. The description is language-dependent.
b. If required, you can select a classification in the Classification field. If you do not choose a specific classification, the category is stored in the classification folder Unclassified. For more information on classifications, see Alert Classification.
c. In the Max. No. of Dels field, specify a maximum number of times that an alert of this category is to be delivered if it is not confirmed. This refers to delivery using a communication channel other than to the recipientu2019s display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox).
d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.

d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.
Prerequisites
You have started the Runtime Workbench from the SAP Exchange Infrastructure start page and have selected the Alert Configuration tab page on the initial screen.
Procedure
To create an alert category, proceed as follows:
1. Choose Create Alert Category.
You can also create the alert category directly by calling transaction ALRTCATDEF. In both cases you require the authorizations of the role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR.
2. Enter the following values:
The receiver of the alert
The title of the alert
The text of the alert, including container variables that are automatically created and filled at runtime.
The follow-up activity
Specify the URL of the required follow-up activity. At runtime, the link address of message monitoring is always entered as the standard follow-up activity.
3. Once you have created a new alert category, choose Update Table to display the category in the alert category selection table

How to create alerts in xi

hi friends,
pls help on this topic creation of alterts.

Hi,
Alert Configuration
You use the alert configuration to have the system inform you of errors during message processing. You can receive the alert by e-mail, fax, or SMS. In each case you will also find the alert in your alert inbox.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites have to be met in order to use the Alert Management (ALM):
·        For using the Alert Inbox (BSP based display program of ALM), the corresponding service has to be activated in the service maintenance transaction SICF. Choose Default_host ® sap ® bc ® bsp ® sap ® alert inbox, and Activate in the context menu.
·        For customizing or administration of the Alert Management the corresponding authorization role has to be assigned. The end users do not need any additional authorization. You find more information under Authorization Concept.
·        The central alert server must be maintained as an RFC destination in transaction SM59 in the local system. If there is no suitable user, you have to create a user for the RFC connection in the central alert system in transaction SU01 (see User Administration and Authorization Concept). To make this RFC destination known as the RFC destination of the Alert Management System in the local system, the central alert server must also be selected as the RFC destination in transaction SALRT1 of the local system or in Settings ® RFC-Destination of Alert Server.
If the central alert server is running on the local system in the same client, you do not have to maintain an RFC destination. In this case, you can simply enter NONE in transaction SALRT1.
·        If external communication types, such as e-mail, SMS, and fax are used, these communication types must be correctly configured in SAPconnect, because the alerts are then sent from the central alert system via SAPconnect.
Process Flow
The following describes the process flow from alert configuration (transaction ALRTCATDEF) to alert display and confirmation (for example in the alert inbox transaction ALRTINBOX):
       1.      Optional: You can define alert classifications. These are useful to group alert categories. For example, you can create an alert classification CRM that contains alert categories referring to CRM. Alert classifications can now have subclassifications. This enables you to build up your own classification hierarchy. Especially, if you use the Alert Mangement (ALM) extensively, classification and subclassification help you to organize your ALM alert landscape and to have a clear overview.
       2.      For different types of alerts you have to define different categories. The category contains various properties and other specifications that define the alerts within that category, for example expiry date, or the escalation recipient. You can define an alert category to suit your business requirements and assign the category to the corresponding classification. For example, for the alert classification CRM you can create the alert categories Contract Cancelled and Decrease in Sales. When the critical situation defined in the alert category arises, the system recognizes this and sends an alert instance of this category to the recipients determined. The alerts can always be found in the display programs configured for the recipient (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox). Additionally, the alerts are sent via eventual external communication channels, such as e-mail, sms, or fax.
       3.      You have to determine recipients so that the Alert Management knows who the recipients of alerts of a particular category are and that the correct parties are informed.
       4.      You can configure the way how alerts are processed. For the general use of the Alert Management you do not have to change the default settings. However, if for example you want to send alerts to third-party systems, or to be able to confirm alerts by SMS/Internet mail, or to have logs written, then you have to configure alert processing.
       5.      There is a number of Alert Management administration reports that you must schedule according to your requirements. For example, report RSALERTPROC must be executed in order to enable escalation.
       6.      Alerts of a particular category must be triggered by an application at runtime. Triggering alerts can be done in various ways. You can call a function module directly or use middleware components that trigger alerts, such as the Business Object Repository (BOR), Post Processing Framework (PPF), SAP Workflow, or CCMS.
       7.      Recipients can view the alerts assigned to them in the UWL of Enteprise Portal, in application-specific display programs, or in the alert inbox. In addition, alerts can be received as e-mail, SMS, or fax, if these external communication channels are configured in SAPconnect.
       8.      If the problem causing the alert is solved by a recipient, the recipient can confirm the alert, this means its status is changed and it will not be delivered, escalated, or displayed anymore. Alerts are generally confirmed by the recipient in the display program, such as the UWL or Alert Inbox. However, if an alert is sent by Internet mail or SMS message, it is also possible to confirm it by sending an Internet mail or SMS message back to the SAP system. Alert Management uses inbound processing for this.
