Raising alerts in an asynchronous messaging scenario

Hi
I have a simple scenario involving asynchronous messages going from a SAP box --> ABAP client proxy --> XI --> Webservice call
Since the call from the SAP box is asynchronous, I would like to get an alert to a particular email id - if the message errored out in the XI IS or the adapter framework ( when calling the webservice )
Any pointers to documents/weblogs to how to setup this alert framework - the basis settings and the application level settings in XI ??
Thank you for your time in advance.

hi,
>>.like end-to-end monitoring for the alert mechanism to work ??
yes
only from sp14 you don't have to do it:

***Raising Alerts When the message is struck in the Queue

Hi Experts,
Is there any way of Raising Alerts When the message is struck in the Queue I want to notify the user if the message is struck in Queue(smq1,smq2).Please let me know the same.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

hi
you can trigger alert for any of the component failure.
for this u nees the ccms configuration.
than you need to configure in RZ20 and RZ21.
steps.
1. create alert category in ALRTCATDEF
2.enter long text
3. add fixed recepient.
4.go to RZ21.
5. select display overview for method
6. serch for method CCMS_Send_Alert_to_ALM.
7. copy the method and create ur own Z method.
8. open ur method.
9. under control tab select ONLY IN CENTRAL SYSTEM TRIGGERED BY CCMS AGENTS.
10. in parameter tab give ur alert cat created before.
11.under release tab select AUTO REACTION METHOD.
12. go to RZ20.
13. a list of system will be displyed select ur own xi system
14. now select the queue name for which u want to trigger alert.
15.goto property button and double click.
16. go to method tab and click on method assigment.
17. goto method radio button and assigne the method u created in RZ21.
done.....enjoy....
u can check the log in slg1 tcode

Raise Alert and also Execute the message

Hello,
I have a requirement to raise an alert if a particular message is processed in SAP PI and also this particular message is to be send to the intended receiver.
The main intention is to inform the Support Team that a particular message is processed from SAP PI without hampering the flow.
How should this be done?
I know how to configure alerts in ALRTCATDEF; so no links on this!
~Thanks.

Hi Abhishek,
First both Alert logic and IDoc creation should be in the same mapping,so that if your condition is not satisfied then an alert is raised (instead of creating the IDoc) and the Idoc is suppressed
Second. if you check the blog, you have some parameters like
1.IP_CAT - Alert Category created in ALRTCATDEF ( ALRTFRMWRKTEST)
2.IT_CONTAINER -
This is used to fill up the Container Variables.
ELEMENT u2013 The name of the container variable. (DOCNUMBER)
ELEMLENGTH u2013 Length of the Element (250)
TYPE u2013 Type of the Container variable ( C for character)
VALUEu2013 Value to be passed. (12345)
these need to be set, before you call the RFC, then only an alert will be triggered.
>>If I look at the UDF (in the blog) I do not find anything is passed or retrieved from it. Is my understanding correct?
Check the parameter String rfcxml in the code, there the values are set.
>>Also as the RFC is present in SAP PI itself, I should mention the details of SAP PI in the RFC receiver channel?
Yes

To raise Alert if Message fails at any of Pipeline Steps.

Hi all,
I need to raise alert if message fails at any of pipeline steps and i need to send alert to TIVOLI and store in TIVOLIdatabase.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dinesh

hi dinesh,
for raising the alerts we have to do the alert configuration in the runtime workbench. u can configure the alerts to mailed to a specific mail id or else u can configure it according to the specification required.
thanks,

How to raise alert in BPM

Hi Experts,
Please tell me how to raise alert using control step in BPM. What are the other steps to be used with control step for raising alerts?
Is CCMS Alerts and Alerts by BPM are same? If they are not the same, how they are different to each other?
my requirement is, simply i want to raise a mapping, data related errors by Alert.
in addition to it, i want to raise alerts for any failure in IE.
Could any one tell , what are the sequence of steps needed in BPM for the above requirement? Plz take a IDOC to FTP receiver scenario and explain me BPM steps.
thnx

Multiple alerts for the same Message ID

Hi
I have configured outbound ftp adapter. I have configured alerts inorder to capture any error in the adapter engine.
Now,alert is triggered showing an error in the ftp adapter ( say incorrect ftp details). But i get multiple alerts for the same message ID several times. I have also set the parameter Max No od Delvs to 1 in the ALRTCATDEF transaction.
I keep getting the same alert number of times a day. How can i restrict the number of alerts to 1 for 1 message ID.
Regards,
Vani

Hello Andreas,
Thanks for your reply.
In my scenario i would need an alert per Message. That is the reason why I have not checked the option "Supress Multiple Alerts" since it would allow only alert per rule.
Is there is any way we can get one alert per message.
Also, after correcting the eror in the file adapter will the file which was not placed due to error in the adapter be placed automatically. I wanted to know what would happen to the lost file or unprocessed file since it dint reach the destination due to error.
Regards,
Vani

How to Raise alert in XI when a new file reaches application server

Hey guys
i have a requirement in which i need to trigger a piece of ABAP code whenever a new file reaches a specific directory of Application server.
i m using File adapter on receiver side and i want to raise a trigger so that the ABAP code is executed automatically whenever some new file reaches the directory
we are running Win server
thanx

HI,
It is possible to write a ABAP program to raise alert.and schedule it , In ABAP program we can check the file is existed or not in a specified folder if existes then we can raise Alert.Actually Alerts are maintained by SAP Alert Management only.
So , but not clear , you said you are using the File receiver adapter .
-- onoption is -this can bepossible with OS command .
-- also we can raise alert from Payload itself , why becz i understand whenever you are going to write a file with file adapter then you need to raise an alert right?
so if message is existed i mean data existed then from raise alert and store the file onoption
-- Also you can try calling an ABAP program as the auto-reaction method of the MTE in CCMS

Error in JMS Communication Channel not raising alert

Processing Errors in JMS Communication Channel are not raising alerts.
The settings on the communication channel retires are set at 3 and 5min interval.
In RWB the JMS communication channel shows processing errors but an alert is not raised.
The alert are configured in our system and we even have a catch all alert rule with * (wildcard). Errors in PI message processing are raising alerts but errors in Comm Channel are not raising alerts.
The message in SXI_MONITOR shows as processed successfully but when we check the RWB and Comm. Channel Monitoring we see processing errors "Channel error occured; detailed error description: JMS error: Connection to the server has been terminated; Linked error: Connection reset, Error Code:null"
Are we missing any configuration? How do we get alerts/notifications if there are errors in Comm. Channel without having to login into RWB and watch it periodically?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
RM

Hi,
What is the staus of Communication channel in RWB when it fails, RED ??if yes then it should genarate alert.
create one more alert for specific to JMS interface and check it out.

Raj

How to Raise Alerts from the fields of Mapping?

HI,
We had a very typical requirement for our client.
Scenarios is IDOC to multiple files else consider a simple file to file scenario.
Source structure contains some 5 fields and the target also remains the same 5 fields.
Assume SERNO presents in both structures.
The issue here is i need to check for a Target SERNO field should accept only numerical value, there is a possibilty of coming alphanumeric and sometimes with specialcharacter appended numeric. i have developed a udf which allows only numeric.
The mapping is getting failed if alphanumeric or special character exists in that field.
But, the client requires an alert mentioning that this mapping is failed due to the problem in Source SERNO field so that he can easily debug and resubmit those idocs.
I want to know is it possible to raise alerts at field levels.
Thanks,
--Kishore

Hi Raja,
This is a new development and we dont hve any Alert framework right now exist, i believe even the alert category its not possibel to drill down to the field level.
if its possible could you please elaborate.
We have many fileds to check as similarly defined above example SERNO, so if the alerts are triggered @ filed level that are failed that will be a great..
My Ultimate requirement is to notify client that due to this field the mapping was occured and alert should throw some light on to locate the error at the field level.
Please suggest how to procced..
Thanks,
--Kishore

BPM Collect Transformation Step Raise Alert need help

Hi,
Scenario BPM Collect.
Block 1 - Multiple xml messages received and collected into multiline container.
Block 2 - Transform multiline container element into single message. Mapping Error throw Transformation Exception.
Block 2:Exception Branch - Transform multiline container element to error multiline container element (based on BpmPatternReqRespTimeOut with a twist).
Block 2:Exception Branch - Send multiline container element to Communication Channel for further error analysis.
Block 2:Exception Branch - Throw Alert BPM_ALERT Transformation Failure message.
Getting Compilation errors because I am not allowed to output a multiline container element...?
Behaviour without the Exception Branch Transform and Send is that the first message collected in the ccBPM goes to Green Flag and the others goto chequered flag when the BPM_ALERT is thrown. This is not desirable behaviour.
Would like to output multiple line container element so I easily know which group of messages failed ie file 1,2,3... so that I can go to the Error folder and repost them in the Sender Communication Channel if required.
Once this is working I am trying to identify which file had the conversion problem so I can filter if out from the others and process the others attempting to pass information from a UDF as to which item in the multiline container element I reached before I had a problem int he original mapping...?
I have read Michal Krawcyzk's blog on ALERT variables and Help on Throwing Alerts etc but I am progressing slowly with my solution...
thanks,
V

Thankyou Chirag for those Blogs.
The first is the one I have looked at most recently and the second has given me an idea.
If I change my mapping of the multiline container element each line holds an xml message to the error element by calling a UDF to map the payload across then at least I would have output my Payload that errored? I will try it and see Java coding is not my forte currently.
thanks,
V

BPM: How to Raise Alert and Restart together ?

The requirement is like this.My Integration Process receives a message, performs a 1:N split and undergoes further processing using Transformation steps. I want to ensure the following in case any one of the Transfofrmation fails(Because of some coding error in the step):
1. Raise an Alert
2. Should be able to restart the Process again from the
   failed step once the Transformation code is fixed.
3. To raise an Alert for any file adapter level errors,
   and to restart the processing of the message once the
   file adpter error is resolved
I have tried the following approaches, but it does not help me achieve all of the above condition.
I have put the Transformation step in a Block and introduced an exception branch with one control step which raises an Alert.
Issue: This will raise an alert when the step fails, but it ends the BPM with a Processed status and hence I will not be able to restart the BPM.
So I put another Control step immediately following the Alert step which raises an exception. However I have not handled this exception. Hence when a step fails, I am able to raise an alert as well as the BPM gets errored out.
Issue : However, now when I restart the process in swf_xi_swpr, The process restarts with the Control step which was used to throw exception. It does not restart with the Failed mapping step.
To raise Alerts for Adpter level errors which might occur before the message comes to BPM, I have defined alert category and rule in runtime workbench. However, the Alerts are not triggered when the file adapter fails.
Please share any ideas on how to achieve all the 3
requirements together.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Joachim!
I was facing a very similar problem in my BPM modelling.
Is there really no other chance than to loop (and maybe wait some time) over the critical (e.g. networking down, ...) parts of the BPM to have some active notification via alerts AND a possibility for retry?
In my opinion this would a very inflexible way of doing error-handling stuff - if so - is it about to change in the upcoming releases?
Currently I guess I can have:
a) either ALERTING (by catching exception and raise alert)
OR
b) convenient retry mechansisms via "SWF_XI_SWPR" (by not catching exceptions at all and let the relevant block become "errorenous") ...
Any other suggestions ...?
Many Thanks,
Andy

RAISING ALERT

Hi,
I want to raise an alert out side BPM.
e.g.: I got one failure in message mapping, where I need to raise the alert for any mapping exception.
I don't want to raise an alert in BPM, because, If I raise an alert in BPM, The message mapping status is becoming SUCCESS once the alert is raised. Here I can not re-start the same message again.
Please let me know, If you have any idea on this.
Thanks & Regards

Empty File handling and raise alert.

Hi,
We have requirement where we are doing file pass through. But client wants PI to raise alert when it receives 0 byte file.
How can we achieve this using File/FTP/SFTP adapter when we are not reading the actual payload and doing only pass thru?
Thanks,
Vertika

Hi Vertika,
AFAIK - there is no standard way for pass through interface to raise alert (for empty file). so you need to develop adapter module to raise the alert for empty file.
Please refer the help page
Configuring the Sender File Adapter - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library
Under Handling of Empty Files, specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled:
Do Not Create Message No XI messages are created from empty files.The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
Process Empty Files XI messages are created with an empty main payload.The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.
Skip Empty Files No XI messages are created from empty files.Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

Raise Alerts for BPM errors

Hi Experts,
I have a BPM, from which need to raise Alerts for Mapping error.
is it possible to raise alerts using Alert rule and with out throwing alerts from BPM.
Thank you,
<b>MK</b>

Hi MK
The SAP Computing Center Management System (CCMS) provides a special alert monitor for SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
You use this alert monitor to monitor the ABAP and Java components (including the Business Process Engine) of your Exchange Infrastructure centrally, and to identify different categories of system errors and application errors in the various interfaces and interface namespaces of the components involved.
You use the alert configuration to have the system inform you of errors during message processing. You can receive the alert by e-mail, fax, or SMS. In each case you will also find the alert in your alert inbox.
To configure your alerts, proceed as follows:
●     Create the alert categories that you want to use in your alert rules.
●     Create the alert rules in which you want to use your alert categories.
●     You can configure a connection to CCMS and schedule the periodic transfer of alerts to CCMS.
Once you have configured the connection to CCMS, choose Show CCMS Connection, select a period, and start the periodic transfer.
A background job is scheduled that collects all unprocessed alerts and forwards the data to CCMS. You can also stop this job.
As soon as a particular threshold value is reached, or is exceeded alerts are triggered and The transferred data is displayed in a special CCMS monitor.
You can raise alerts through BPM also .you can design your BPM in such a way that if an exception occurs, the exception handler for it has a control step in which youu can throw alert specifying the alert category and the text.
For more information on alert configuration and CCMS you can refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/90/4e313f8815d036e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Sender File adpter --don't raise alerts when file does not exist in folder

Hi,
My Scenario is File --- >XI ---> SAP.
I must archieve the file after it got polled. and iam polling for every 60 mins, if the file does not exist,it is throwing an alert like "Could not process file '.file..xml: No such file or directory '
Is there any way i can avoid raising an alert if file does not exist in the source folder.
we are on XI 3.0 sp23?
Thanks
Srini

Hello,
Your Subject:
>Sender File adpter --don't raise alerts when file does not exist in folder
is contradictory to your question.
>if the file does not exist,it is throwing an alert like "Could not process file '.file..xml: No such file or directory '
> Is there any way i can avoid raising an alert if file does not exist in the source folder.
I know you want to say "Don't Raise alerts when file does not exist in folder". Correct me if I am wrong.
Some times it happens, when we write the right thing but it means something else and this is the reason many experts have replied, "how to raise an alert". So if you remove the word "Sender File adapter" from your subject then it will be easy to understand the exact meaning.
Regards,
Sarvesh
