PI7.0: Problem about openning alert configuration in RWB

Hi experts,
   I encounter a problem about alert configuration.
   I have defined the alert catogory in WAS ABAP and use the report RSALERTTEST to test it. It's OK. Then I logon RWB and click u201CAlert configurationu201D,system popup a login window. I input my user account and confirm it. But the logon window popup again and again.I don't kown how to resolve it.

Hi Villy,
Although i have not faced this issue but one workaround fix that can help you to address your problem would be....
Please add below 'actions' to 'everyone' role using NWA->Identity Management
UME keystore-view.TicketKeystore entry-actions.all.all
UME keystore-view.TicketKeystore property-actions.all.all
UME keystore-view.TicketKeystore view-actions.all.all
Then, Initiate RWB using URL - http://<j2ee-host>:<http-port>/rwb/rtc?op=init
I hope this fixes your issue.

Sekhar

Error while opening Alert Configuration in RWB

Hi Everyone,
When I selcet Either Alert Inbox or Alert Configuration in Runtime Work Bench, I am getting error as
404 Not Found
The requested resource does not exist.
Do we need to configure/Deploy anything to access Alert Configuration.
Regards,
Varun

Varun,
Perform following steps. , if not performed earlier :
1.Go to exchange profile
http://<IP>:<Port>/exchangeProfile/index.html
Then RuntimeWorkbench -> com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.ashost = " Mention FQDN here "
->com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring..httpport = 8000
2. Reinitialize the RWB service by : http://xiserver:50000/rwb/rtc?op=init
3. RZ10 - Make an entry for /icm/host_name_full
*************************************************8
You should give fully qualified host name for the xi server (parameter, icm/host_name_full). Also set the same in exchange profile parameter com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.ashost.
- Creating HTTP Destination pmistore in the Java Environment
from XI installation guide (config in visual admin)
- Check if services in transaction SICF for RWB - if they are activated
- on your XI box go to TCODE - SE38 and run program - RSXMB_ACTIVATE_ICF_SERVICES.
- check SAP note: 750287 (XI 3.0 Runtime Workbench: Alert configuration does not start) and change values in your ExchangeProfile.
- check if you can accept cookies.
It should work friend....!!!!

Problem with CCMS PI7.1 alert configuration for RWB Alert count

Hi,
We have configured CCMS alert for PI7.1 RWB failure count. Alert is getting triggered only one time and after that no alerts. I can see the change in data but alert is not getting triggered. If I complete the alert then immediately in next run a new alert is generated with last reported data and then again there will be no alert going forward. Data is collected but no alert is triggered. Does anyone know the reason for this and how to fix it? Please help.
Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

Hi Jayan,
Our PI alert configuration is fine. And also we did not choose multiple suppress method. Problem is with Solution Manager CCMS PI alert configuration for failed RWB count. After initil alert and then nomore alerts are triggered. If I complete the alert then again only first alert is triggered and again no alerts going forward. Please advice.
Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

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.

Aashish Sinha

Unable to logon to Alert Configuration in RWB

Hi,
Someone asked this question was asked a coule of weeks ago but it was never answered.
I am trying to logon to the alert configuration and alert inbox sections of my runtime workbench. None of my users seem to work including XIRWBUSER or XISUPER. Is there a special user required for this section of the workbench?
Our XISUPER has the role of SAP_XI_MONITOR.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
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.
Meanwhile look at these forum threads also:
Alerts not getting triggered from Adapter Framework
Alert Configs...
Guess these links also be of some help to you.

Abhy

Problem in BPM Alert configuration

hi all,
i have configured BPM with alerts putting Control step. i not am able to get the container variables reflected in my alert.
can any one tell me what is the procedure to capture the errors(container variables like MESSAGE_GUID....) in BPM
Thanks,
smitha
Edited by: Smitha Madhavan on Sep 4, 2008 9:14 AM

hi,
please make sure that u have defined the container element in ur BPM. please fill your veriable with your definde veriable in container step.
you can fill these veriable with 2 type of data\
1) fill with payload which is comming ,
2) fill with the system defined veriable
if you want to fill with system defined veriable you need to write a small UDF
java.util.Map map;
map = container.getTransformationParameters( );
String constant1;
Constant1 = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
now return this out put to some veriable .which can be assigned to container veriable.
you can use following system defined veriable.
MESSAGE_CLASS,VERSION_MAJOR,VERSION_MINOR,PROCESSING_MODE,MESSAGE_ID,TIME_SENT,INTERFACE,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE,SENDER_PARTY,SENDER_SERVICE,RECEIVER_NAME,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE,RECEIVER_PARTY,RECEIVER_SERVICE,MAPPING_TRACE

Problem about opening iPhoto

When i open iPhoto 5 for the first time the program searches for photos, even if there aren't photos on my library.
I've tryed to update iPhoto to the latest buid 5.0.4(263) but the problem still remain. I have the suspect that the problem is in the BezelService.framework folder, but i'm not sure.
The console give me this message:
2005-12-12 10:23:32.113 iPhoto[267] * +[CIPlugIn _addPlugIn:allowNonExecutable:]: selector not recognized
Maybe this is the problem? It is possible to substitute this plugin?
I hope to have explained well enough my problem.
Thanx for your help, if there's one

Alessio,
Someone in the past had the continuous loading of photos problem and it was related to installing iPhoto using Pacifist.
This is the file that was missing for the other posters.
/System/Library/Private Frameworks/AppleAppSupport.framework
If there is another Mac around that has this file, you can copy it to your Mac.
or you can check out the next link

1.1 performance problems related to system configuration?

It seems like a lot of people are having serious performance problems with Aperture 1.1 in areas were they didn't have any (or at least not so much) problems in the previous 1.01 release.
Most often these problems occur as slow behaviour of the application when switching views (especially into and out of full view), loading images into the viewer or doing image adjustments. In most cases Aperture works normal for some time and then starts to slow down gradually up to point were images are no longer refreshed correctly or the whole application crashes. Most of the time simply restarting Aperture doesn't help, one has to restart the OS.
Most of the time the problems occur in conjunction with CPU usage rates which are much higher than in 1.0.1.
For some people even other applications seem to be affected to a point where the whole system has to be restarted to get everything working up at full speed again. Also shutdown times seem to increase dramatically after such an Aperture slowdown.
My intention in this thread is to collect information from users who are experiencing such problems about their system configuration. At the moment it does not look like these problems are related to special configurations only, but maybe we can find a common point when we collect as much information as possible about system where Aperture 1.1 shows this behaviour.
Before I continue with my configuration, I would like to point out that this thread is not about general speed issues with Aperture. If you're not able to work smoothly with 16MPix RAW files on G5 systems with Radeon 9650 video cards or Aperture is generally slow on your iBook 14" system where you installed it with a hack, than this is not the right thread. I fully understand if you want to complain about these general speed issues, but please refrain from doing so in this thread.
Here I only want to collect information from people who either know that some things works considerably faster in the previous release or who notice that Aperture 1.1 really slows down after some time of use.
Enough said, here is my information:
- Powermac G5 Dualcore 2.0
- 2.5 GB RAM
- Nvidia 7800GT (flashed PC version)
- System disk: Software RAID0 (2 WD 10000rpm 74GB Raptor drives)
- Aperture library on a hardware RAID0 (2 Maxtor 160GB drives) connected to Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 PCIe adapter
- Displays: 17" and 15" TFT
I do not think, that we need more information, things like external drives (apart from ones used for the actual library), superdrive types, connected USB stuff like printers, scanners etc. shouldn't make any difference so no need to report that. Also it is self-evident that Mac OS 10.4.6 is used.
Of interest might be any internal cards (PCIe/PCI/PCI-X...) build into your system like my RAID adapter, Decklink cards (wasn't there a report about problems with them?), any other special video or audio cards or additional graphic cards.
Again, please only post here if you're experiencing any of the mentioned problems and please try to keep your information as condensed as possible. This thread is about collecting data, there are already enough other threads where the specific problems (or other general speed issues) are discussed.

BTW: Within the next week I will perform some tests which will include replacing my 7800GT with the original 6600 and removing as much extra stuff from my system as possible to see if that helps.

Yesterday i had my first decent run in 1.1 and was pleased i avoided a lot perfromance issues that seemed to affect others.
After i posted, i got hit by a big slow-down in system perfromance. I tried to quit Aperture but couldn't, it had no tasks in its activity window. However Activity Monitor showed Aperture as a 30 thread 1.4GB Virtual memory hairball soaking-up 80-90% of my 4 cpu's. Given the high cpu activity i suspected the reason was not my 2GB of RAM, althought its obviously better with more. So what caused the sudded decerease in system perfromance after 6 hours of relative trouble free editing/sorting with 1.1 ?
This morning i re-created the issue. Before i go further, when i ran 1.1 for the first time i did not migrate my whole library to the new raw algorithum (its not called the bleeding edge for nothing). So this morning i selected one project to migrate all its raw images to 1.1 and after the progress bar completed its work, the cpus ramped and system got bogged-down again.
So Aperture is doing a background task that is consuming large amounts of cpu power, shows nothing in its activity monitor and takes a very long time to complete. My project had 89 raw images migrated to the 1.1 algorithum and it took 4 minutes to complete those 'background processes' (more reconstituting of images?). I'm not sure what its doing, but it takes a long time and shows no obvious sign it is normal. If you leave it to complete its work, the system returns to normal. More of an issue is the system allows you to continue to work as the background processes crank, compounding the heavy workload.
Bit of a guess this, but is this what is causing people system's problems ? As i said if i left my quad alone for 4 minutes all returns as normal. Its just not normal to think it will ever end, so you do more and compound the slow-down ?
In the interests of research i did another project migrating 245 8MB raws to the 1.1 algorithum and it took 8 minutes. First 5mins consumed 1GB of virtual memory over 20 threads at average 250% CPU usage for Aperture alone. The last three minutes saw the cpus ramp higher to 350%, virtual memory increase to 1.2GB. After the 8 minutes all returned to nornal and fans slowed down (excellent fan/noise behaviour on these quads).
Is this what others are seeing ?
When you force quit Aperture during these system slow-downs what effect does this having on your images ? Do the uncompleted background processes restart when you go to try and view them ?
If i get time i'll try and compare to my MBP.
