Hi,

Alerting is an function of Runtime Workbench along with Message archiving,End-to-end monitoring, Performance Monitoring,Cache monitoring.

Alerting is no longer dependent on the configuration and activation of end-to-end

monitoring. Consequently, the delay between when an error occurs in message

processing and the creation of an alert is significantly reduced. Furthermore, you no

longer need to schedule the report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET as a

background job.The Runtime Workbench has CCMS Alert Monitor thru which

You can now configure one new CCMS Alert Monitor per Adapter Engine for

adapter-specific processing errors.Alerts triggered by the Runtime Workbench can now be forwarded to the CCMS Alert

Monitor and displayed there.

See also SAP Note 824039.

Thru Runtime Workbench we can access alert inbox, alert configuration

In process Integration with Central SAP Monitoring Infrastructure we Drill down to individual process steps and Use SAP Web AS Alert Framework.

In SAP Web AS Alert Framework, we Classify errors and Alert channels (such as e-mail) available.

Alert-Configuration

Objective: Active Monitoring

CCMS Alerts + message-oriented alerts

Based on SAP's Basis Alert Framework

Alerts propagated through E-Mail, SMS,

In Monitoring the SAP Exchange Infrastructure, Message Alerting is part of Runtime Workbench.

Configuration steps are: go to transaction ALRTCATDEF

3) Recipient Determination.

Alert can be triggered in different ways.

1) Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly.

😎 Triggering alert by configuring a rule from RWB.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/d5b54020c6792ae10000000a155106/content.htm

RWB will only raise alert related to Integration engine and Adapter engine.

Hope this will help you.

THnx

Hi Swarup,

Hi,

Check the user roles from SU01 tcode.

The following predefined user roles are available for customizing and administration:

• SAP_BC_ALM_CUST for customizing authorization.

• SAP_BC_ALM_ADMIN for administration authorization. The administrator has the authorization for all activities. He or she can also read and confirm alerts for other users. In addition, the administrator can execute report RSALRTPROC to delete, escalate, and deliver alerts as well as to delete logs.

• For the sending of alerts via external communication methods (e-mail, sms, fax) and for inbound processing, an RFC user has to be created on the central alert server with the role SAP_BC_ALM_ALERT_USER. The authorization objects contained in this role are S_OC_SEND and S_RFC.

• Accessing alert inbox the userid has to have the role SAP_XI_MONITOR.

• SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR - Alert Management Administrator
