The expression is not being displayed in the alert inbox

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created an expression in 'Long and Short Text' tab present in the ALRTCATDEF transaction screen.

The expression is "test Error in message &SXMS_MSG_GUID&". However if i goto alert inbox, this expression is not getting displayed. I tried putting this expression under Message title, Short text and Long text tabs. But no change in the result.

In the above expression, SXMS_MSG_GUID is a container variable declared in ALRTCATDEF transaction screen.

Same is the situation irrespective of the container variable being used - SXMS_ERROR_CAT etc.,

I appreciate your early response.

Hi,

How are the alerts being triggered?

Is this from a BPM or a non BPM.

Check note: 913858 , this is a one stope note for all Alert related issues.

Hi ,

We ae planning NOT to use BPM. Is it that some configuration needs to be done in RWB to get the alert in the alert inbox along with this container variable content ?

Please help.

Hi Venkat,

Without using BPM, you can think/try out with triggering an alert from UDF:

/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/07/25/triggering-xi-alerts-from-a-user-defined-function

Otherwise, you can use email functionality to notify the error message rather an alert....so that you can customize your output format/or error message required.

Also check out this Michal's blog on ALERT Configuration..

Hope this wull help.

Hi Nilesh,

Thanks for the input. You have mentioned that we can go for email functionality. Can we use email adapter and send an alert exception (without alert framework) whenever a mapping exception happens, without using BPM ?

Venkat,

No u can't . You have to use BPM to proceed further for sending email. Or u need to configure Alert framework so that you can send email to the receivers thru the Alert framework.
