Hi Karthik,
Alert Configuration:- You use alert configuration to have the system informed you about the errors that occurs during message processing.
*Used for alerts that occurs at IE.
Alert Management: When you define the integration process you can specify that if a particular situation occurs at runtime a alert has to be thrown using alert management.
*Used to handle business specific errors.
For example if the stock falls below certain level an alert has to be thorwn to the specified user using the integration process in this case you have to follow steps defined in alert management
Defining Alert Categories
During alert category definition, you specify the alert text, expiry time, escalation, and all other conditions related to the sending of this kind of alert.
1. Ensure that you are in change mode in the alert category definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
2. Choose Create Alert Category.
3. In the Alert Category column, enter a technical key. Choose a key that describes the situation that triggers the alert, such as CUSTCANC for a category responding to a customer cancellation. This key is language-independent and identifies the alert category. The standard namespace convention applies to the key, this means keys Z* und Y* belong to the customer name space.
4. On the Properties tab page:
...
a. In the Description field, enter a description for the alert category. Choose a description that is informative with respect to the content of the alert category. The description is language-dependent.
b. If required, you can select a classification in the Classification field. If you do not choose a specific classification, the category is stored in the classification folder Unclassified. For more information on classifications, see Alert Classification.
c. In the Max. No. of Dels field, specify a maximum number of times that an alert of this category is to be delivered if it is not confirmed. This refers to delivery using a communication channel other than to the recipient’s display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox).
d. Select Dynamic Text if the texts of the alert category cannot be defined at this stage. This refers to situations in which the texts are not known until runtime, for example when CCMS Alerts are forwarded to ALM.
No translation can be performed for alerts with dynamic text. System messages can be entered manually in several languages.
e. In the Expiry Time in Min. field, you can enter a life span for alerts of this category if the alerts will no longer be relevant after a specific period of time. If the expiry time elapses, the alert is removed from the alert inbox and is no longer delivered using any other channel.
Expiry times can be derived from various sources. Priority is given first to the data provided by the triggering application, second to the BAdI ALERT_EXP_DATE, and third to this field in the alert category definition. If none is found in any of these sources, the default expiry of 31.12.2099 applies.
f. If you wish to specify an escalation recipient, select Escalation Active and enter the escalation recipient. Also specify a tolerance time in minutes. When escalation is active for an alert category, an alert is escalated if none of the alert recipients has confirmed the alert after this tolerance time. The escalation recipient is also informed that he or she has received the alert because of an escalation.
The escalation functionality is based on the administrator report RSALERTPROC. This report has to be scheduled as a regular job. For information on this report.
5. On the Container tab page, define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. For more information, .
6. On the Short and Long Text tab page, enter texts for the alert category. You can include text variables referring to elements of the alert container or system symbols. In the case of a container element, the variable must be defined in the alert container. The entry in the text must be in the form &<ElementName>&.
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
7. On the Optional Subsequent Activities tab page, you can enter URLs for subsequent activities. If you trigger your alerts by calling a function module, you can also specify dynamic subsequent activities. For more information, see Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly in Triggering Alerts.
8. Save your entries.
You create an alert category to use in alert rules.
Prerequisites
You have started the Runtime Workbench from the SAP Exchange Infrastructure start page and have selected the Alert Configuration tab page on the initial screen.
Procedure
To create an alert category, proceed as follows:
1. Choose Create Alert Category.
You can also create the alert category directly by calling transaction ALRTCATDEF. In both cases you require the authorizations of the role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR.
2. Enter the following values:
- The receiver of the alert
- The title of the alert
- The text of the alert, including container variables that are automatically created and filled at runtime.
- The follow-up activity
- Specify the URL of the required follow-up activity. At runtime, the link address of message monitoring is always entered as the standard follow-up activity.
3. Once you have created a new alert category, choose Update Table to display the category in the alert category selection table

Hi,
Alert Management (ALM) comes into play, when business-critical problems occur. Within ALM, conditions for critical situations are predefined. When an alert is triggered in ALM that meets these conditions, responsible or interested parties are determined and informed immediately. Examples of critical situations might be an important customer terminating a contract or a budget being exceeded.
The alerts are polled from the UWL of the Enterprise Portal, application-specific display programs, or the alert inbox. These display programs can be personalized due to the useru2019s needs. In addition, the users can receive alerts as e-mail, sms, and fax, if these external methods of communication are configured in SAPconnect. End users can personalize their alert notifications, for example, create notification variants or determine a substitute.
Alert Management helps prevent delays in the processing of critical situations, because the time between discovering and responding to such situations is reduced considerably.
The Alert Framework is provided as part of the SAP Web Application Server. The application that wants to trigger alerts must define its own alert categories, assign them to alert classifications and implement the triggering of the alert instances to realize Alert Management.
Alerts can also be triggered by external alert providers. They are all sent to the display program (UWL, application-specific program, or alert inbox) of the defined alert recipients. Additionally, alerts can be sent by other channels, such as by Internet mail, SMS, or to external alert systems.
For more details refer

HI
Alert Configuration:
1) An Alert is a notification informing its recipients that a critical or very important situation has arisen. The
situation is as severe that an action must be taken immediately in order to resolve the situation. The
system recognizes the situation and sends the Alert.
2) We use the Alert Configuration to have the system inform you of errors during message processing. we
can receive the Alert by e-mail, fax, or SMS.
3) To configure your Alerts, proceed as follows:
a) Create the Alert Categories that we want to use in our Alert Rules.
b) Create the Alert Rules in which we want to use our Alert Categories
4) An Alert is an instance of an Alert Category
5) Alert Categories can be defined by applications or customers using the Alert Category definition
environment, which is accessed in Transaction Code ALRTCATDEF
6) The Structure of Alert Category is defiened by the following
a) Technical key (language-independent) for identification purposes
b) Description (language-dependent)
c) Classification
d) Priority
e) Maximum number of deliveries. (This applies to delivery to a destination other than the alert
inbox.)
f) Expiry time (in minutes) after which the alert is deleted
g) Escalation recipient to whom the alert is sent if it is not confirmed by any of its recipients
h) Tolerance time before escalation
i) Short text, long text, and title
The title is used as mail title, fax subject, and alert title in the inbox. The long text is used as
mail/fax body and the long text view in the inbox. The short text is used for pager and SMS.
j) Container for variable definition if variables are to be used in the texts, or for other application-
specific attributes
k) Subsequent activities in the form of URLs

From HelpFile.
Alerts within XI give us a simple way to monitor only those errors that we want to and send alert messages to different people depending on the alert category.
Alert configuration is used to have the system inform you of errors during message processing.
By using the Alert Framework, central monitoring can be provided with all errors reported during message processing in ABAP and Java. This enables an improved reaction to such errors in both the ABAP runtime and the Java-based Adapter Engine. For this purpose, the Alert Framework is provided with rules based on certain events and on information from the header of the message protocol. These rules determine whether alerts are send or not.
Check with this links this might be very much useful for creating alerts..

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 XMSALERT_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.
