BPM Alerts - Dynamic Text

Hi,
I'm triggering Alerts from BPM with Dynamic variables. In ALRTCATDEF I was not able to define the header ( Subject field on the email ) as I need to check Dynamic Text box which will deactivate Short and Long Text. Furthermore Shortext ( for example its like " Process number 00001234567 " ) in ALRTINBOX becoming Subject field in the email. So when we receive email with the Subject field as "Process number 00001234567" doesn't makes sense until you open the email.
I did gone thru the document and all the blogs and lost how to fix it.
Do anyone have the same problem?.. Please help.
Basically I want to system ID on the Subject line of the email.

Well there is an alternate solution. But as a standard using the Control Step of the BPM, this is not possible.
Trigger Alert from a UDF as shown in this blog of mine,

Dynamic text in PI Alerts without using BPM

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to have dynamic text in alert mail subject or mail details without using BPM in PI?
If I want to configure generic single alert category for all interfaces in my project , and in the subject line of Alert mail, I need to have the Interface ID (unique identifier for that interface) or integration directory scenario name for which this alert has been raised, then is it possible to use some custom alert container for this purpose? Or is there any other way to have these dynamic texts ?
We are using PI7.1 in project landscape.
Thanks in advance,
Minal

Hi,
>>I need to have the Interface ID (unique identifier for that interface) or integration directory scenario name for which this alert has been raised
those two are not available in the container:

Alert using Dynamic text in BPM.

Hi,
I am using dynamic text function in alrtcatdef transaction for raising an alert using BPM.
But in the alert inbox I am not getting the an alert error message which is passed to alert catagory in control step of BPM. Can anyone please let me know what may be the possible solution of it.
I have done the below configuration:
Configuration done in Alrtcatdef transaction:
Created an alert catagory
assigned the fixed recipient
click the dynamic text button in alert catagory property.
Configuration done in BPM:
Used the Control step.
given the Alert catagory name,action and the alert error message.
Please let me know the solution soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

HI Bhavesh,
I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.
In the Control step I have hard coded my error message.
But still it is not showing in my alert inbox.
Can you please let me know is there any other settings needs to be done.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Alerts with "Dynamic Text". Alert ID is unknown.

Hello,
I have set up an alert category with option "Dynamic Text" activated as I want to use some custom container variables in BPM.
When the appropriate control step in BPM is executed not alert is triggered.
If I try to trigger a test alert using report RSALERTTEST I get the following error:
Alert ID is unknown. Maybe the alert was not created.
Both works fine when I use a an alert category without "Dynamic Text" selected. What could be the reason for this?

Just got the alert from the integration process. RSALERTTEST still gives the same error, but most important is that the alert works during runtime.

Blank Long Text in BPM alerts

Hello Experts,
I had configured dynamic alerts in BPM (of PI 7.1) and I am raising the same through Control step. The configuration is similar as described in blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
Accordingly the alert is getting generated from BPM control step.But my problem is whenever i use container variable (&variable&), i am receiving blank long text in email and in alert inbox. It works fine with hard-coded text from BPM.
I could see the container variable value in SXMB_MONI but somehow it loses Long text.
Thanks in advance.
regards
rajeev

Hi rajeev,
Make sure that your variable name is correctly spelt in all the places.
check the assignment step when you pass the value to the variable.
You can try re assigning the value to the variable afresh.
Make sure you have the dynamic text option checked in the Alert Category.

BPM Alert shows in Inbox but without custom text

We have a BPM which raises an alert and passes a message to a fixed receipent Inbox. In our Dev environment this works great. We replicated this functinoality in our QA environment and now the user gets an alert in their Inbox but instead of the custom message they just receive the alert category description. We have scene this problem in the past when we forgot to check dynamic text on the alert category but we checked this so it must be something else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Puloma,
If I run RSALERTTEST with no additional confirguration it creates an alert in my inbox with the alert category description as the alert message. If I run RSALERTTEST and use the additional configuration menu to add in a description it uses that description as the alert message short text. It appears to be working as expected. The problem seems to be that although my BPM works perfect in Dev, in our QA environment it is not feeding the alert description correctly to the alert message. This is just a guess I am not sure if there is a way for me to monitor what alert description my bpm created.

Using alerts with variables-"dynamic text" not working

Hello all,
I'm triggering an alert from a BPM, and have set the flag "dynamic text" on for the alert category associated with it. I'm doing it in a similar way to the blog 1382 by Michal:
[/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated|/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated]
The only difference is that I'm just assigning a fixed text instead of a payload element to the container element, which I've defined as simple type - string.
However, the text of the alert doesn't show anything. I'm getting an email with just "Process <id>" as the subject and "Alert ID: <number>" in the body of the email (the same in the Alert Inbox).
I'm starting to think that there could be something wrong in PI 7.1 which I'm using, as I've configured other alerts in scenarios without BPM without problem.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've solved it using an alert from the Enterprise Services Builder (Integration Repository). It's a new feature in PI 7.1. It seems the tab "Container" in the alert category didn't exist before (that's why you don't find it in the weblogs of Michal and others) and now you have to use it.

Dynamic text in ALERTS

Hi,
I have one BLOCK in which I have one exception brach with control (For raising the ALERT in case of system errors) step. I have synchronous send step with in this block. This synchronous send step throws system error becuase of different reasons like system not available, JCO errors for date formats. Is there anyway I can trap this exact cause of system failure and pass it as dynamic text to control step.
Thanks
Mohan

Report Error Message in BPM Alert?

Hi,
I designed a BPM with a transformation step and a send step. For each step I have an exception branch where I want to trigger an alert, when something goes wrong.
I already configured in TC ALRTCATDEF an alert category (Dynamic Text activated). And I made an container operatinon with folloing control step, where I for example report the message ID.
But, going through the blogs and threads I didn't find the information, how I can report the exact error message, the error category (and in case of the send step the adapter and the adapter error text) to the alert. How can I get this data to put it into a container variable?
Can anybody give me some information about that?
Thanks in advance
Dominic
System: PI 7.0 SP15

You can use the below information for raising an Alert for adapters.
Specific Error Information from the Adapter Engine:
Container Element
ABAP Dictionary Data Type
Meaning
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_TYPE
CHAR70
Adapter type
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT
CHAR70
Error text from the Adapter Engine

BPM Alert Container Elements Not Filled

Hi All,
Another problem i am facing when i am raising alert from BPM.
In inbox i see alert message being raised but with no text.
I have also subscribed to email alerts.
In the email the subject is Process 000000008058
and the content is the first alphabet of the AlertMessage container element.
Ex : In BPM my container element is AlertMessage and the message assigned is <i>Error</i> . Then in email message i only get E. where as in alert inbox i get nothing.
ps : im using XI 7.0 SP 9. there are no notes which are applicable for this release.

Rahul

Hi Bhavesh,
<i>>When you select Dynamic text in the Alert category, the Container tab will no longer be available in ALRTCATDEF for your Alet Category.!</i>
the container tab is available but the Long& Short text tab is disabled.
I did not mean that..
What i meant was see next to the Properties tab in Alert Category defination there is a Container tab where we define our own container elements.
Do i need to define the names there..or i can directly use in the BPM?

Rahul

Alert : long text not complete

Hi all,
I manage specific alerts in my BPM.
I have defined it as "dynamic text" alerts in ALRTCATDEF.
These alerts are well thrown by PI however I can see only the first caracter of the long text.
My version is PI 7.0 SP8.
Is it a known issue ?
Thanks in advance,
J.C.

Hi JC,
This may not be an issue at all...and just the way alerts are shown in the inbox.
Just right click on the table cell where you see the first character of the text, right click and select "view source".
You should be able to see the long text within the HTML source.
Though not a solution but this can be used to test out the alert.

Gaurav

With regards

Let me know Vardharajan if you have solved this problem!

Alert Long Text

Hi all!
I have a problem when a BPM throws an alert with dynamic text from a control step:
- If the control step have the next text: &var_container&
The long text in the alert inbox is filled with the content of the var_container.
- If the control step have the next text: Message with id &var_container& failed
The long text in the alert inbox is empty...
Thanks in advance,
Roberto

Message ID is not accessible inside a BPM and hence the problem.
Why is not accessible -> Look at this really interesting thread.

Alert long text not visible

Hello,
I have a problem triggering an alert with dynamic text out of a bpm. The alert is triggered correctly (I can't see any dump in tzhe log files), I can see the alert in my alert inbox, but the long text isn't filled. I'm using SAP Netweaver 2004s SP 9 (SAP Basis 7.00).
Then I tried the same preocedure in a SAP Netweaver 2004 SP 15 (SAP Basis 6.40) with the same settings, and it worked fine. I can see the long message in the alert inbox. The only differnce was, that in 2004s the alert classification 'Webflow Alert' didn't exist, so I had to create it.
Does anybody know, where the problem could be?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
Just check that the length of the message is not more then the required limit. If thats the case it sometimes does not show the message.
Else, just try re-activating that step again by making some dummy chnages.
This problem happens at times when you are using dynamic variables .
