Alerts in cprojects

Hello all,
We are on cProject Suite 4.0 Support pack 05
We need to configure Alerts based on Finish date of Task. The alert should go to one or more persons ( one responsible, One Project Administrator )
Is there any document on Alerts! I feel the SAP help is not so sufficient on alerts
Thanks & Regards

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your answer,
I think that the option of creating more thresholds with an increase in severity can work; but, i do not know how many thresholds must be created taking into account that what we need is to have alerts untill either user modify the status or fill the informartion.
If we decided to use a development approach, what would we have to do? which BADI can help us?
Is there any way to delete the alerts asociated to tasks? Maybe after deleting the alerts and running a job we can get what we need.
Thanks again,
CAMILO UIRBE

CProjects-pop-up alerts for saving.

Hi All
Is it possible in cProjects to configure pop-up alerts , whenever the users change the status of a Project or a phase (Released, completed etc.)
This is important because the BW reports are taking data from tables , which are updated only if the save is done and some end users are forgetting the Save.
Pls. let me know.
regards
Kedar

Hi Deepak,
In cProjects, If any change is made and if you navigate from that project or try to close the application a pop up is automatically trigerred.

Disabling cprojects alerts for certain users only

Hi
I need that no email alerts are sent to certain roles/people who have authorizations in cprojects. There are numerous alerts sent as email for any change of dates, thresholds etc. I need to disbale any email being sent in this for certain users.
How can it be done?
Regards
Senthil

Hi Senthil,
Would you please check the following
Evaluations -> Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) -> Change Alerts from Severities in cProjects
related method is CHANGE_ALERTS_OF_PROJECT, which has a change parameter:
CT_LANGUAGE_OF_RECIPIENT. You can apply your own logic to remove some recipient of the table, so that they do not get the e-mail.
Never tested, please check it out.
Kind regards,

Hi Ravi,
Have you finished Threshold value settings?
For threshold settings you can define the severity which is called for the TRUE condition
Do that which will have formula in it which if becomes true that severity is set.
If you want the severity to appear as manual select then remove checkbox for Not_Manually then it will appear in cProjects frontend for user selection

CProjects - Alerts and Threshold

Hi,
We have an automatic alert set up for a task in cProjects 4.0. In the IMG under "Define Threshold Values", if I set the "Object category" as 'Task', I see that alerts trigger for the person responsible for the task and also to the persons assigned to the task. However, our business requirement is that the alerts go only to the person responsible for the task and not to those asigned to the task. Is there a way we can achive this?

Check out if it's possible using DPR_ALERTS Badi

CProjects Treshold violation - Trigger an alert for stagnant projects

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to trigger an alert mail for Projects which are stagnant( ex project status not changed for 15 days) for 15 days.
I am trying to a define formula in threshold with system status attribute but i think it is not possible to define a clear formula without status change date. i am not able to create a secondary attribute for a system status to get status change date details.
Please suggest me how to achieve this
Thanks in advance,
Prabu

You'll need to define the formula for the condition where the system should generate alerts. As for alerts pertaining to 'Status', you'll need to create an extract layout with the attribute SYSTEM_STATUS (this pertains to status). You'll then need to assign this layout to project type. Create an Evaluation where you would need to assign this layout. Define the severity and threshold.
The system should alert the stakeholders then. Also ensure that the SCOT configurations, pertaining to emails, are in place.

Cprojects and workflow

Hi everybody,
I am working in workflow (Cproject module),
Standard business object events are not triggered,
ex: BUS2172 for project - created event is not triggered.when i create a project this created event is not triggered.
I dont know why the standard events not triggered,
I think any configuration is required, can any one help me?

Hi Camilo,
The workflow which you find in standard is e.g. TS 28700002 (Task Released). But this is send immediately when the task is released, not 2 or 3 days before it is due.
Alternatively you could use threshold values and alerting (see evaluations in cProjects). Or last not least a customer-specific program. But the two other possibiliies seem easier for me.
Best regards
Thorsten

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.

Filename in an alert message

Hi Friends,
I am doing a simple file to idoc scenario.
if mapping error occurs.
the requirement is to trigger an alert which says "A mapping error occurred when processing the file XYZ.txt"
Constraints are:
1. BPM is not used as it is a simple scenario.
2.RFC lookup during mapping is to be avoided since if mapping itself fails then it will be of no use.
Is there a way/work around to get the filename dynamically in the alert message.
Thank you,

Seems to be not possible without a BPM.....at least by using a standard alert procdure
Using a mapping get the FileName .....have both the source and target message as the same.....
map the FileName to some empty node of the structure.
In the mapping logic, one for which you want to check for any exception, do not make use of the node containing the FIleName...let the rest mapping remain as is
Create a Container Variable and Assign the node containing the FileName to it using a Container Operation.
Then raise the Alert.
I have used a similar approach in one of my interfaces.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Alert is not getting displayed in Alert Inbox

Hi,
We have created a BPM with an Alert. The Alert is getting triggered in the PE but we are not able to see the alert in the alert inbox. It is neither being displayed in ALRTDISP transaction.
We have already subcribed that alert.

Hi,
Have to scheduled the background job SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET to collect the alert message for further processing?
check this link,

The expression is not being displayed in the alert inbox

Hi,
I have created an expression in 'Long and Short Text' tab present in the ALRTCATDEF transaction screen.
The expression is "test Error in message &SXMS_MSG_GUID&". However if i goto alert inbox, this expression is not getting displayed. I tried putting this expression under Message title, Short text and Long text tabs. But no change in the result.
In the above expression, SXMS_MSG_GUID is a container variable declared in ALRTCATDEF transaction screen.
Same is the situation irrespective of the container variable being used - SXMS_ERROR_CAT etc.,
I appreciate your early response.
Regards
Ganesh

Hi Venkat,
Without using BPM, you can think/try out with triggering an alert from UDF:
/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/07/25/triggering-xi-alerts-from-a-user-defined-function
Otherwise, you can use email functionality to notify the error message rather an alert....so that you can customize your output format/or error message required.
Also check out this Michal's blog on ALERT Configuration..

Hope this wull help.

Is there a way of getting a list of upcoming alerts/alarms and their times?

I'd like to get a list of alert times, so that I can see if I have any that will be going off in the middle of the night!
Many months back, I purged those pesky midnight alerts by scrolling through week by week and looking for the all-day events and checking each one. It was a chore.
Now, due an odd synching issue between iCal and an app, I'm a tad concerned that some late night alerts may have been set, or PMs may have changed to AMs, or other oddities introduced. I'd like to scan a list of alerts for the next several months to ensure that none are set to go off during the sleeping hours!
Just browsing events (say week by week) doesn't help me because they could have alerts set for all sorts of different times (or no alerts at all). If there isn't a way of listing the alerts, then I'll have to go through each individual event/to do to check its alert and time-- and there are hundreds!
Hope this makes sense.

Try this in Script Editor - the list of alarms will be in the result pane.

How to change default alerts in iCal?

Hello.
Every time you add a new event in iCal, the Info panel of the event contains a series of default alerts that you may want to add to it. However, all of them are useless to me (e.g.: "Send email to <my address> 4 days after), so I need to manually edit them event by event. Anybody knows how to change them? I have already inspected all the plist files related to ical, and looked inside the ical package content, but I found no indication of where to change these values. Using iCal version 5.0.2
Thanks,
l

John: Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was indeed inspecting the plist with bbedit, but what I did not realize is that the file has some parts which are binary, so I could not see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms part by using a text editor. I opened it with Xcode and I did find what you were saying, and erased all the junk that was in there. In fact, the issue I had was also described here:
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Uk/uk.comp.sys.mac/2010-06/msg02349.html
For some reason, it looks like after some upgrade the program adds were some positive values in the plist and I was stuck with default alarms that were set *after* the events I wanted to set an alarm for.
I did what you suggested, then added by hand new values to the PersistentMenu part of the plist, and I am now happy.
For everybody's information, to know what I did, it is enough to know to add Dictionary items to the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms, with 3 fields:
-- AlarmTypeKey (this determines if you want a sound, or else an email, or else the other default alarm type keys. For example, sending an email is a Number, value 4; having a message with sound is a Number, value 3)
-- AlarmDurationKey: This is a Number, in seconds, that determines when you want your alarm to trigger. E.g: -172800 will be two days before. Must be negative for "before", of course)
-- AlarmParameterKey: This is a String, where you store the value that you want the alarm to have. For example, if you want an email to be sent, the AlarmTypeKey will be 4, as explained above, and this field will contain your email address. Instead, if you want the alarm to be a sound, the AlarmTypeKey will be 3 and this field will have the name of the sound you want (e.g., Basso).
That's it. Thanks a lot for the solution!

Why is ical creating unwanted alerts for all-day events?

If anyone can point to what might be going wrong here I'd be grateful. This is becoming a daily irritant. I have a number of all-day events listed for most week days in my diary which help me to know what is happening that day with childcare for my son. I don't need alerts to be reminded of these - they are just notes I put to myself in adavnce that let me know how my day is configured. Now, I sync my ical from my home imac to my work imac, my macbook, my iphone and my ipad. On none of these devices do I have default alerts set. I never set any alerts for any of these 'events'. But then, at 9am the day before each one I get an alert. In fact, I get a 9am alert for any all-day event, regardless of whether I set an alert for then, or at all. As I say, I've checked all devices and the default alert a=on all is set to 'none'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I stop it?

Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!
