Monitoring Number Ranges (NRIV) to guard against a range exhausting

[former_member160248]

Hi,

Does anyone know of or have a method that monitors individual number range entries that in the event that the used numbers exceeds a certain percentage that a alert/notification is issued? Thanks in advance.

Hello David,

We are also facing similar problem.

The number range notification does not get registered anywhere due to background processing.. Can you share with us how you resolved your problem?

Hello,

even if the question is still answered, but just another information might be useful concerning this topic: there is a standard program RSNUMHOT, listing number ranges which are near at there limit.

Kind regards,

I could never find a method outside of custom ABAP to effectively monitor number ranges in our environment. We have ranges that are obsolete others that grow at different rates. Most importantly the alert need to come back to Basis. The enduser does not have any idea what message means ignores it. In addition, many numbers are reserved through background jobs and therefore no message seems to be trapped.

Thanks Pavan for the link. Do you happen know if the there is something that initiates the use of the "warning %"? The reason I ask is that this thread was spawned by a number range that was exhaused here last Monday. The users, however, inidicated that they had not received any warning messages and I looked and the warning % is set at .10. I checked SM21 and SLG1 as well for something that may have been logged but found nothing.

Thanks and kind regards,

David

Hi David,

You can try this in RZ20. I configured automatic email alerts for spool number range and failed background jobs. Assign "CCMS_OnAlert_Email" as Auto Reaction Method in RZ20 for that MTE.

The following are the steps I completed for generating Email alerts for Failed Background jobs: -

1. Create Sapconnect Method in RZ21

2. Create Auto-Reaction Method to notify via EMAIL -- CCMS_OnAlert_Email

i. Create a user in 000 of ECD, to send alerts

ii. User type -- Dialog

iii. Communication method - E-mail

iv. Email address

v. Profiles - SAP_ALL , SAP_NEW

3. To Send Alerts to an Internet Email address:

I. Under Parameters of RZ21 - CCMS_OnAlert_Email gave the SENDER, RECIPIENT and RECIPIENT-TYPE IDvalues:

SENDER -- <SAP User Id>

RECIPIENT -- <email id>

RECIPIENT-TYPE ID <U>

4. In RZ20, SAP CCMS Monitor Templates --> Background Processing, select - Aborted Jobs and click on Properties, assign the following Monitoring methods:-

Auto-reaction method --- CMS_OnAlert_Email

Analysis method --- CCMS_BP_ABORTED_JOB

5. In 000 client create a node in SCOT called MAIL, if it's not already there.

Address type: RML , address are: *

Address type: INT , Address area: *

6. Routing test in SCOT is Successful.

7. Scheduled send processes :-

Created a background job which starts the ABAP program RSCONN01 and scheduled it to run every 2 minutes in target client

You can follow the above steps and try to set up for the required MTE.
