Process chain alerts

Hi,
I have gone thru many posts but none of them gave detailed information about this.
I know how to create alerts but my question is on receipient list.
Can anybody tell me how to do that if i go in I see diff Receip types. Can anybody tell me Which needs to be selected?
I am planning to send an email to my internal email.
Thanks

Hello,
Try internet. You can configure to send a mail if the load was successful, with an error or send always, so try it with send always in a simple chain and the control if the mail was send in tcode SOST.

Process Chain alerts not visible in UWL

I have carried out the weblog test that Ginger published at
/people/ginger.gatling/blog/2005/06/16/integrating-alerts-into-uwl--its-no-problem
and everthing worked fine.
We are, however, trying to use Process Chain alerts from CCMS. These alerts are visible if we run transaction RZ20 in the back end system but the UWL does not see them.
Is there a guide or something showing how to configure this?
Thank you

Hi Bernard,
I've checked out a couple of systems - you can create alert categories for process chain alerts, and once you have the category you can of course assign recipients.
In fact you should see some existing categories in your system for process chains in transaction ALRTCATDEF.
The UWL essentially reflects what is in the BSP ALRTINBOX as it is using the same/similar routines to derive the alert inbox worklist. So if you don't have anything in ALRTINBOX then it is correct that nothing is showing in UWL inbox as well.
You need to set up the categories and recipients against your process chain alerts.
I'm not all that familiar with BI Process Chains but a couple of minutes looking at the IMG in transaction SPRO showed that in transaction RSPC when you select a process chain you can use menu option Settings > Maintain Alert Categories to make the link between the process chain and the alert categories. You'll probably know what to enter here better than I do.

External Email address in process chain alerting not fully displayed

Friends,
I have this weird problem and not sure if its a real issue.
I am maintaining messages for process chain failure alerting. I am using an external address and receipant type as "via Internet".
When I enter email id (ex: abc.123.xyz at mycompany.xxx) save it and come back, and If I re enter that screen the entered email is not fully displayed, few chars are truncated, (ex : abc.123.xyz@mycompan).
Can you guys please help me figure out what the issue is?
Is there any restriction on the length?
Thanks

Alerts not updated / still grey in BPMON BI Process Chain

Hi All,
We have Solution manager 7.1 SP08. We configured BPMON for BI PRocess chains.
We are unable to get any alerts for process failures. All the alerts are Grey.
This is what we have observerd:
1. We get alerts for failure to start if I mention "Not Started On Time (marked for 14:00)" and "Start Delay" alone.
2. No alerts are generated for the Status of the chain. I have provided Yellow for Status J and Red for R,X or J.
3. The BW Process Chain Identification - Start Procedure is set to "User chain start condition".
4. The Alert for STart Delay seems to get triggered only at midnight of everyday (00:00). Is this normal?
When I check the rspcm logs, the chain we have configured seems to have errors at 00:37 and every one hour from then.
The BI and Solman systems are in different time zones in SAP System level.
I have checked note 1436853 and all are in order. None of the notes can be implemented in the satellite system.
I have provided full authorization for both the user id logged in to BPMON as well as the connection user to the BI system.
Can you please suggest what we missed in the configuration?
I had configured Purchase requisition monitoring for ECC system, Background job monitoring for the BI system also. These seem to work fine.
Only the BI Process chain status and related montioring seem to be grey all the time.
Thanks and regards,
Raghavan

Hi,
BW process chain alerts are purely depends on the start procedure you define during the alert configuration.
Moreover if you wont get any alerts if the bw proces chain not started or it started before the configured time, in such case you can use "not started on time" with tentative starting time of the process, or you can use "out of time window" to set the time slot where the chain didnt run.
please check https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700006137532006E page number 76

Using Alert Framework to send email notifications when Process Chain fails

Hi Everyone,
I've configured ALRTCATDEF in Solution Manager, selected the alerting option for Process Chains in - RSPC > Attributes > Alerting, but it looks like whenever any process chain fails, an email notification will be sent to the same recipients.
Is there anyway to have an ALRCATDEF - alert category for different process chains, so that different recipients receive notifications for different Process Chains.
Thanks,
Ken

Interesting....I was actually hoping for different recipients for different process chains.
E.g. for our
CRM process chain - Support Team 1
FI process chain - Support Team 2
and so on and so on.
I think the only way may be creating a custom process type and implementing a class for this process type that calls function SALRT_CREATE_API. Then adding this process type to the process chain, with a different variant for each.
However if anyone knows a way to do this in a SAP standard way using the Alert Framework, that would be great.
Cheers,
Ken

Email Alert for Process Chain for ABAP Process Type

Hi BW Experts,
                         I created a process chain based on ABAP Process Type ( for Broadcasting rsrd_broadcast_starter). I want to add alert message for each ABAP process if it is failed. But I cant see any option showing Successfull or Error or Always when I select create message option on the process type. How ever I can see for other process chain which is loading data (Process Type is Info Package ) from SAP into BW.
                         Please some one tell me why it is not showing alert message for ABAP Process Type.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

I dont have the exact answer for your question, But as a work around i can suggest you that.
If these ABAP programs are included in a chain and this local chain is a part of meta chain then you can create a message on the local chain.By right clicking on the local chain >Create Message>Success
                                                                                --->Failure
>Always
Hope this resolves the problem tempervorly.I will get back to you once i have
Or the permanent solution is
Its big and also easy method to perform, by this you will be able to get all the options for a ABAP Program also.If you have any questions please let me know.

Alerts in process chain

Hi,
While adding alerts (sending an email) in case of process chain failure, what is the recipient type if it is an internal company emails?
Also, is it possible to send an alert if the process chain didn't run as scheduled?
Edited by: P R on Jan 7, 2011 5:14 PM

Hi ,
1. You need to select the Recepient type as "Internet address".
2. Yes, we can get the alerts when the Process chain did not trigger as scheduled. This could be done only when the Process chain step parameters are configured on BPM tool.
We need to maintain some thershold values, so that if that crosses the time limits we will get a mail alert that it was not run.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Sending an Alert e-mail on execution of process chain containing ATTACHMENT

Hi Experts,
Need your help on the following,
We have a scenario where system must send an e-mail to the recipients, on the exection of a Process in the Process Chain.
This mail should contain a specific text file from SAP-Directory(AL11) as ATTACHMENT or the content of file should be directly read in to the mail, anything will work.

To send an Alert e-mail when the process chain is executed
you need to create a message setting while creating the process chain.
Suppose you want to send a mail after execution of DTP
then just do the following
right click on the DTP process in the chain and you will get a option to create message.
you'll be asked when on what condition you want to send message 1Success 2 error 3always. select as per you r requirement
select that option and a new window will appear
in the new window press Reciepent button and add recipients of the mail as per you requiremnt
press back button and save, then press create message button
here you can enter the text you want to send, other then that message wil send the status and number od records added and transfered , by default.
hope this solves your problem ..:)

Raising an alert at the end of process chain execution

Hello ,
I have a requirement, where I have to raise an
alert(not an e-mail) in Alert Server at the end of data loading process through a process chain.
Is there solution for above requirement?.
Regards
MB

Hi ,
Thank you for taking time and answering my question.
I have found a solution to raise the alert at the end of loading a target through process chain.
Solution :
There is no out of the box option to raise the alert from process chain.
SAP has given a SALRT_CREATE_API function to raise the alert. We have used this function with "ABAP process type" in process chain to raise the alert.

Process Chain Paging Alerts

I have created paging alerts in my process chains by right clicking on each process and creating a message, and putting a variant in with the email address and pager number. I have tested this and it works. Well, it works for a true failed job. Here is my problem. I had a rollup job go red in the process chain because of a lock with the attribute run. So if you display messages on the chain, it it red. However, in SM37, the job never canceled, so no alert was ever initiated. It was like just a process failed, but never the entire job.
So how can I make sure in situations like this I am notified. Also, what if for instance an App Server went down on the R/3 side and a BW process chain was canceled. Since this didn't happen on BW, should an alert be sent? For us, it didn't get sent. Thanks, Keith J

Dinesh,
I think I have a couple of problems with that. First, I have some jobs that take well over 30 minutes (actually 3.5 hours) before they start pulling from R/3. Second, some of the processes in the process chain are not InfoPackages, but aggregate rollups, attribute/hierarchy change, so I couldn't put a 30 minute time out there. And from reading some documentation, the timeout that you set in the InfoPackage is for the IDOCs, meaning if an IDOC hasn't moved data in 30 minutes, then it would be considered a failure. And chances are probably real good that an IDOC will move at least that often, so I am not sure that would help me. I hope that last one makes sense.
Thanks, Keith
