BPM: Confirming alerts doesn't refresh alert status

Hi Colleagues,
Have anyone dealt with refreshing problems in Solman's BPM?
If I have a red alert and process it, I proceed to confirm the alert.
In this node, status is changed to green (some cases into grey).
If I get back to the first screen in the BPM, process is still in red leading to confusion to our local monitoring team. It doesn´t matter that no other alerts are current unconfirmed.
You can refresh as many times you want, system remains in red.
I have a message in support but response process is really slow.
They just recomended to apply latest version of note 0001255970 but no effects were observed.
We are in ST 400 SP 17.
Thanks,
Renato Petrulis

Just as feedback from SAP Support, it´s not an error:
(...) Let me explain the difference between Current Status and Open Alerts a
little more:
Every MTE (MTE: Monitoring Tree Element. It is the actual measurement that you are interested in. For example, BDocs con ErrorBDocs con Error defined in component BDocs con Error is an MTE) has configurable thresholds. The thresholds define the values which, when exceeded, create an alert instance. Both yellow and red thresholds can be defined. The alert instance records the time at which the threshold was exceeded,and also have a corresponding status i.e. if the red threshold is
exceeded, a red alert instance is created. When you hit the 'Confirm' button, you are actually clearing the alert instances.
Whereas, in the Current Status view, you actually see the current value of the MTE, which can be red or yellow or green irrespective of what hadhappened in the past.
Therefore, the expected behaviour is that when all the alerts are confirmed, the MTE shows green in the Open Alerts view. But the Current Status view continues to show the actual current status, which may be red or yellow or green. Therefore the DSWP transaction is actually working as expected.

BPM: Confirming Alerts - pro's and con's.

Hi all,
In Business Process Monitoring in the alerts view, you have the option to confirm alerts - primiarly I assume to remove the yellow or red alert status from the summary screen of alerts, so that operators can see at a glance which monitors have a status other than green. Other than that - what are the benefits and drawbacks (if any) of confirming /not confirming alerts?
Would there be any concerns with system performance / table overflow by keeping many unconfirmed alerts in the list?
From a BI trend analysis point of view, will both confirmed and unconfirmed alerts be transferred to the BI cube for trend reporting?
For example, we could configure BPM to send a notification when there are 20 yellow alerts of a certain type. Only on notification (email) will a user go into BPM to view the alert in more detail. So, the number of alerts in BPM could add up very quickly and only get confirmed every so often.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
1) Your understading is correct to some extend, the confirmation of alert is to know the status of any new alerts at an istance. so it forms easier for us to locate. Confirming should be done, if the alert is really looked upon and solved, so easy to track. If you keep it unconfirmed, you ll always get the old alerts in queue leading to the overall rating to be misleading sometimes.
2) You have to plan/so sizing on your solution manager accordingly to negate any system performance issues.its impact will be very less.
3) yes.You wil get all the alert.You can see all the confirmed alerts too.(there is an option available).
4) This shouldn't be an issue:). The alerts remain the same in the BI. Sizing matters.
Thanks,
Jagan

Sending Alerts raised in BPM to Email and also to Alert Inbox

Viewing alert in my RWB ALERT INBOX !!!

Hi all
I have read the blogs/forums in order to implement my alert inbox but until now I don´t know why my I can not see my alerts in the Run Time Workbench Alert Inbox.
Please see the steps that I have performed.
In the Abap Side
I have created an alert category D with this information:
    In the properties tab I fill the values fields for Description,priority,Max no of   dels,expiry time in min, escalation active,escalation recipient,tolerance
   In the container tab I have entered some variables
   I fill the long and short text for email
In Settings ---Configurations      I have only filled the status handling mails for errors status and the logging fields
In the Runtime Work bench Alert Configuration
I have created a new rule for my category
When I go to the rwb alert inbox , no error was triggered
In the SLG1 transaction for alert I have this error : No e-mail address is entered in Customizing for XML forwarding
Do I have to enter an email address in the Settings ---Configurations?
My purposes are to show the error alerts in RWB alert inbox
In my above descriptions do I had to configure something else?
be aware that services are running ok .Please give me a step by step action that I have to realize in order to trigger the alerts in the RWB alert inbox.
I have already read the forums, blogs and note for this, I am a little confused because my implementations are not working.

Hi,
Try this...
     1.      From the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF), choose Settings -> Configuration.
       2.      Ensure you are in change mode.
       3.      If you want to be able to confirm alerts by SMS or Internet mail, you must enter the user created to receive all incoming mails in the Inbound Processing section. For more information, see Alert Confirmation.
       4.      In the Status Handling for Mails section, you can specify which statuses are to be reported. The first setting refers to the system being informed, and the second refers to a status mail being sent to the sender.
       5.      In the Logging section, select Write Log only if you want additional information about the actual processing of the alerts. This information is logged using the standard application log and can be viewed in transaction SLG1 (object ALERT).

Urgent : One Event alert Cause another Event Alert to Fire Aslo

Dear Friends,
i have two event alerts say :
xx_employee_termination (After Insert - on PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F) -- Fires once i terminate any employee.
xx_proposal_approved (after update - on PER_PAY_PROPOSALS) -- Fires once i approve any proposed salary
my issue is
When i terminate any employee it will update also PER_PAY_PROPOSALS which cause xx_proposal_approved alerts to fire if his status is (Approved)
So, How to stop firing of Proposal Alert if i terminate any employee?
Waiting for help friends,
Regards,

some would say why did you keep PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F instead of (per_periods_of_service)
it is same..
termination would affect Per_all_people_f ,per_pay_proposal ,,,,etc

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.

Include URL in the Alert message in Sitescope Alert

Hi,
I am trying to include the URL int he Evetn mapping but unable to fidn the Attribute to include the URL in the alert. Please suggest.

Hi,
If this is a static URL then you can include it in alert by modifing the alert templates under templates.mail in installed directory. In case of dynamic URL's put them under group/monitor description feild nad include it in alert using the tag like "Monitor: <groupID>:<name> <groupDescription>" in alert template.

Disk Utility doesn't refresh when inserting new DVDs

I'm in the process of copying a few DVDs by making an image of them first and then burning the image onto a blank DVD through Disk Utility.
After I'm done with one and insert a new DVD to copy, Disk Utility doesn't refresh to show me the new disk is in the drive. Is it normal?
If it is, is there something I can press so that Disk Utility manually refresh its listing of drives?
I find that quitting and restarting Disk Utility just to make a new image is so inefficient.

I am suddenly having the same problem. When I insert a blank disc either cd or dvd it does not show up in the left column in disc utility. I have tried closing and then relaunching disc utility but nothing. The disc shows up on my desk top but not in disc utility. I fear this is a Snow Leopard problem. Toast has no problem recognizing the disc and burning to it.

The administration console doesn't refresh

Hello,
I used WebCenter Portal Administration Console (http://<server>:<port>/<context_root>/admin to delete a page at runtime.
Then I added new pages in the page hierarchy in my portal application, which I would like to see in the admin console too, but it seems they don't show up
I mention that the admin console looks fine on my integrated environment but on the managed server it doesn't refresh.
How the admin console should be refreshed to reflect the latest changes?
Thanks,
Constantin

Yes, your understanding is correct. I added the pages in the pages folder in JDeveloper (11.1.1.4) and then added them to the page hierarchy.
Here is the pages.xml content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<pagesDef xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/webcenter/page"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/webcenter/page/pagesDef.xsd">
<pageDef contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/home.jspx"
hidden="false" shared="false" hasSubPages="false" id="home"
overridePolicy="true"/>
<pageDef contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/ipc.jspx"
hidden="true" shared="false" hasSubPages="false" id="ipc"/>
<pageDef contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/google.jspx"
hidden="true" shared="false" hasSubPages="false" id="google"
overridePolicy="true"/>
<pageDef contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/services.jspx"
hidden="true" shared="false" hasSubPages="false" id="services"/>
</pagesDef>
I can see all the pages in the IWLS admin but in WLS admin I can see only the "home" page.
Previously I deleted "ipc", "google" and "services" from WLS admin and I cannot see them again after a new deployment.
I can add new pages in WLS admin without any problem.
For IWLS, although I deleted the same pages in admin console, after a new deployment all the pages are shown.
I guess it is the setting "delete customization before each run" in JDeveloper which allows the refresh of the IWLS admin console too.
The question is what is the equivalant for WLS? Do I need to "clean" the customization?
Thanks,
Constantin

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

We have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed using the "Alert Me" feature. We have renamed the
custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list "alert me"
function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what we did was use a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When we ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method get the email without the customizations that were done in teh custom alert template. All users who manually subscribed on their
own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Bug: The message list doesn't refresh SOLVED caused by HWA (hardware assist)

I am using the latest Thunderbird from the beta channel, v38. I was seeing this in the stable release channel as well, so I thought I'd try the beta channel to see if it was fixed there, but it was not.
The issue is that the message list doesn't refresh all the time when switching folders. If I an in my Inbox folder, for example, and then select my Junk folder, the message list will not update/refresh, until I drag my mouse over the message list. Then, it will refresh line-by-line as the mouse enters each line.
I am on Windows 7 64-bit, with an i5 processor and 8 GB RAM. Nothing else on my system is running slow. This will happen when Thunderbird is the only app running. I also have a skin applied to my UI. I've tried a few different skins, and this behavior happens with all of them.
A second issue I noticed this morning was that when I received a new email, the entire app seemed to freeze momentarily while the notification for this new email was spawned. As soon as the notification became visible, the app because responsive again. Perhaps a threading issue here.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick reply.
"The last issue is probably your anti virus diving in an scanning the new mail as it is added to a very large mail file. Right click the folder and select properties. What is the size on disk?"
Folder properties on my Inbox folder says:
Number of messages: 1038
Size on disk: 90.9 MB
"With regard to your first problem, I am seeing that on the daily built as well, on an intermitent basis, but not on change of folder, only on dragging the mouse over the existing list."
Yes, it is intermittent for me as well. I just recalled that the last time I saw it was when I changed folders. It may not be limited to that situation.

ICal doesn't subscribe to timed events and doesn't refresh

In our office we each have a calendar which each person publishes on .Mac, and which others in the office subscribe to. We're experiencing the following problems:
-- "Refresh all" on some machines doesn't refresh calendars; each must be refreshed individually;
-- On some machines, all-day events appear, but timed events do not
-- In some cases calendars won't refresh properly; they display old information and don't update, even when manually refreshed. The calendar must be deleted and re-subscribed to on the subscribing machine. Sometimes even this doesn't work and has to be done repeatedly before the calendar is up to date.
We have a mix of iBooks, iMacs (from G4 to Intel), MacBook, PowerBook, and G5; running OS X 10.3 through 10.4. Could the mix of OS versions be the problem? Or should we use another server than .Mac to publish/subscribe to?

lilkirk87,
It probably means that you do not have "Calendars" selected in iPhone>Settings>iCloud.

Eigrp routes doesn't refresh when neighbor down

hi guys, need some tips for troubleshooting an ongoing issue, but can't do the changes anymore untill next call and yes the issue is still ongoing.
                       WAN1 <--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> WAN2
                           |                                                                             |
                   metro ethernet ME-3600X-A <----> ME-3600X-B <-----> ME-3600X-C<----> c3560v2
I have 3 metro ethernet switches and a c3560v2 switch connected as above. The WAN1 redistributes all routes to ME-3600X-A's eigrp and WAN2 redistributes all routes to c3560v2 's eigrp and these two propagates all their eigrp routes to ME-3600X-B and ME-3600X-C which are in the same eigrp AS. And all link/connections are point-to-point.
Now, when the link between ME-3600X-B <----> ME-3600X-C is physically disconnected, the ME-3600X-C's eigrp still points the route(s) to the ME-3600X-B's p2p ip as its next-hop - which is down(neighborship between them goes down, but still the routes doesn't refresh/rebuild). However, switch c3560v2 has route to the same network learnt from WAN2.
Wonder why, need inputs please? Thanks.

You shouldn't reference the CrystalReportViewer in the Page_Load handler, since there's issues with serialization of the report source:

In fact, you should save the report source in session, and bind it to the viewer on post-back. Sample code can be found here:
