Getting payload data in alert category

Is there anyway to fetch XI payload data(IDOC number) in ALRTCATDEF along with other container variable?
We have been sending email alerts without BPM(Alert rule and alert cat).
Please suggest.

Alert Category BWAC_PROCESS_CHAIN_ERROR

Is there a way to change the content of the e-mail that is being sent out through alert category BWAC_PROCESS_CHAIN_ERROR? For example, I would like to add the system id to the e-mail subject line. Otherwise there is no way to tell in which system a certain process chain failed.
When I create my own alert category, I have a separate tab to define the wording of the e-mail that is sent out. For this predefined alert category, there is no such tab.
Thank you,
Dennis

Prasad,
thanks for the tip, but I am not talking about the message attached to a process type. I prefer using the alert framework, because it is much easier to maintain and gives better insight as to what failed. The only issue is that I do not seem to be able to have my own message in the e-mail, but hopefully someone can prove me wrong

Alert Category, rules, etc.

Hello friends........
Could you give me answer

Container Element in Alert Category

Hi,
Any one can tell me what is the use of container element in Alert Category.
While creating a container variable there is an drop down for Object type.When we go for each of these object type.
When i selected the object type as 'XML object type ' i could be able to see all the abstract interfaces and the fields that are created in the IR.I am able to select that field in the long text tab also.
But the value of the field is not getting reflected when an alert message is triggered.
Am I in a right track or doing anything wrong?Can i directly access this field in the long text?
Regards
Divia

Hi Sreedivia Narath,
Go through this blog for alert configuration by Michal. Its a beautiful blog and explains about the container variables:

Capturing custom error message from alert category

We are using XSLT mapping and We are raising custom error message based upon some conditions i.e if vendor number is invalid or blank.If it doesn't meet the requirement,mapping will fail and it will throw error message as" IDoc XXXXXXXXX is having invalid vendor number".
My question is,we would like to send this custom error message to email receipients through RWB-AFW.
How do we capture this custom error message is alert category or alert rule?

You can not unless u use BPM.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

Alert Category in XI

Hi...
I am doing file to file scenario using BPM. I have created an exception. For that i want to create Alert Category in Xl. Kindly help me out in this by detailed descripition of how to create alert category.

1. Define Alert Category in ALRTCATDEF
2. Define Alert Rules in RWB --> Alert Configuration
And depending on the alert rules , if an error occurs in XI, the alert will be triggered.
Read the Blog by Michal and you will get the picture and then let me know if you need any inputs.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
The Alerts in SAP XI can be raised for error happening in:
1. Adapter Engine
2. Integration Engine.
1. These Alerts are system generated in case anything happens in either of the component.
For this you need to:
1. Create ALert Category in the Trnasaction ALRTCATDEF
2. Create Alert rules in Runtime Workbench--> ALert Configuration and associating these rules to Alert category.
If you want you can do it without a BPM
and throw an exception in case any of the values is missing:
have a look at this weblog on how to throw exceptions
in a nice way:
/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/01/26/throwing-smart-exceptions-in-xi-graphical-mapping
Also just go through Raising Exceptions in SAP XI Mapping and see if it helps you solve the problem.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/33/4a773f12f14a18e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
To send an EMAIL, assign an EMAIL ID to the corresponding user in the transaction SU01 and then set up SCOT and you can send emails when the ALERT is triggered..
Once you have configure Alerts, you will get the Alerts into ALERT INBOX in RWB of the user. To also get the email, the following needs to be done,
1. In SU01 -- Assign the Email ID for the Recipient of the ALERT.
2. In , RWB>ALERT INBOX> PERSONALIZATION--> Time Independent Delivery and Email are selected.
3. Finally, SCOT needs to be set up to send Emails. Check this for the same. You can ask your BASIS team to do this step.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/1edf098ea211d2b47300609419ed29/frameset.htm
Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.

Passing Payload data to alert container for all SAP PI erros

Hi All,
I have a alert requirement as follows.
One alert has to be raised for all PI errors including Integration Engine errors and Adapter Engine errors. The scenario is ABAP PROXY >XI->SOAP.
Payload will have n number of fields including Delivery Number and Mail ID of a business User.
Mail has to be triggered from PI to this particular user along with delivery number. Please note this alert has to be triggered for all PI errors ( Mapping, Adapter Error,Apllication Error ...etc).
Triggering alert from an UDF by calling report SALERT_CREATE does cover only integration engine errors.It should not cover any adapter engine error.
By creating a alert rule and alert category in RWB will not have Payload data in the mail and Alert will be sent to fixed receipients. Alert rule does cover all PI errors.
How should i do this>

Hey
By regular alert mechanism,this is not possible,you need to use BPM to trigger e-mail to include delivery number.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
>>Mail has to be triggered from PI to this particular user along with delivery number
Well this can only be done via mail adapter,alert mechanisms need a specific user ID or user with specific roles.
Thanks

Regarding creation of new Alert category

Hi All
When I am creating a new alert category using Tcode ALRTCATDEF and trying to save it .A prompt-message is displayed as prompt for customizing request what should i do to create the new Alert category . and see it in the select Alert category box
Regards,
Aziz

Hi Aneez,
I have given u all the configuration steps with links also the different ways by which u can raise alert.
I think u have not gone through my threads. Also u did not replied me whether u resolved the problem which is raised in thread.
1) how can i send an email alert through RWB?
RWB is used for raising Integration and Adapter engine related errors.
Its depends upto u what kind of errors u want to send.
2)what are the steps i need to configure using Tcode ALRTCATDEF.
Already provided u in one of ur thread.
3) is this possible using CCMS Alerts .
U can use this is another way of raising errros.
4)do i need SMTP to be configured to send an Email Alert ?
GO to SU01 transaction and maintained email address where u need to send alert message. IN ALRTCATDEF u need to mentioned the use in the fixed receiver tab.
Hope it clears to you.
Thnx,
Chirag

Alert category - SALERT_CREATE

Hi Al,
When we define alert rule/Alert catefogy in SAP PI, nomally it internally calls SALERT_CREATE report. How should i call customized ABAP report from an alert category?
When i checked in alert category under Administration Data , i could find application pac which always has SALERT..What does it mean? Is it possile to change this so that alert category will call our customized ABAP report?
Thanks
Rajesh

So you are terminating the mapping in case if your source payload does not contain the data for particular field and sending the error via alert...
In order not to receive multiple alerts for this..either to remove the alert in UDF or should not end the message mapping in error if udf condition is not satisfied...(continue the mapping dont throw the alert in exception..instead use in try block itself.)
if mapping should not be continued..for this error and if you remove alert in UDF,still you can use enable trace in UDF and can find the cause of the error in moni..after receiving the alert using alert rule...(only thing will be error message will not be like what you will frame...)

Capturing the AuditLog from Aadapter and sending to sender through alert

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I have to send the sender system ( specially the vendor) an email if message fails at adapter level.
I need to also capture the exception or cause stated in the comm. channel adapter.
Is it possible to do this through alert ?
like the alert will capture the audit log from adapter and send it to the sender through the defined alert rule ?
Thanks
Vinny

Hi,
Yes this is possible. Please check this blog for how to configure the alerts
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
You can also have a seperate alert category in ALRTCATDEF for adapter engine alerts.
Then in the alert rule you can specify the where the alert occurs as "adapter engine"
try first having an alert rule having wild card * for all fields and do NOT check "suppress multiple alerts from this rule" option.
Afterwards you can try creating more granular alert rules for specific interfaces if required.
The container element SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTEXT should be used in the alert category in ALRTCATDEF for getting the exception text from the adapter engine, communication channel. This container element will show you only first 70 characters of error text in audit log. In later PI releases from PI70 SP19 onwards there is new container element available &SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES[]& (sap note 1294312) and this will help to display the complete error text of the audit log in the alerts.

Transport alert category and alert rule

Hi,
We are using SAP BASIS 700 (NW2004S SP9). We have created alert category and alert rule in development system. We now want to transport this alert category and alert rule to test system. I have referred to sapnote 913858 but its valid till SAP BASIS 640 and we are using SAP BASIS 700.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Mateen.

Thank you all you 3 wonderful people, your replies did helped and I am definitely going to reward you with the points..Now I am getting alerts in my alert inbox. Can you also help me with some info on alerts?
1) What exactly happens when I check and uncheck "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this rule" checkbox while creating alert rule? I have read some documentations for it in sap help website and also in some of the forums but its still very confusing to me. Can you please give me an exact picture of it?
2) I am unable to get alert emails in my lotus notes. I compared my profile setup in XIJ and XIT using TCode SU01 and found that the PARAMETERS tab had some discrepancies. Can you please confirm if this can be the reason?
Best Regards,
Mateen.

Cannot save Alert Category

I get error Client 000 has status 'not modifiable'
How to solve it?

Did you logon to client 000 ? To find whats your integration server client, logon to SLD and business systems and select your Web AS ABAP XI business system name, there you can find what the integration server client is.
Or you are creating the alert category through web UI ?

Alert Category TestAlert1 Does not exist

Hi ,
I have BPM scenario where I am trying to send an Alert as email . But I am not able to receive that alert in my mail box .
I created a Custom alery Category . For testing I tried to send it through tranction SE38 , run "RSALERTTEST" and gave alery category and the alert got successfully triggered and i got email in my mail box .
But when I try to send the same Alert through BPM i am not able to receive any mail .
Then I check my alert in transaction "SLG1" where it shows me a error as Alert Category TestAlert1 Does not exist .
I am not able to understand exactly what is missing .
Thanks ,
Suvarna

Hi Suvarna,
Just for additional info i am providing you the step by step procedure for alert configuration please go through it compare it what you have done and see if the problem still persist.
From SP 14 on PMI-free alerting was introduced. That means before SP 14 one has to configure and activate the End-to-End Monitoring, and to schedule the report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET in order to extract the alerts from the PMI data. For SP 14 and higher, that's not longer necessary.
If no alerts are being delivered, please check if "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" is checked for your rule.
For SP 14 and higher you could also have a look at the report sxmsalert_logreader. This report shows some information about alerts being created or not.
You'll find more information about trouble shooting the alerting in SAP Note 913858.
Also just check if this batch program (RSALERTPROC) is running or not.
The links below on Alert Management (ALM) will be of good help to you:

Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.
