Alert Configuration using TCode PFAC and ALRTCATDEF in SAP PI

[Former Member]

Hi Guys

I am configuring my Alerts to handle errors on my interfaces, I have created the RULE in TCode PFAC with Container and on the Responsibilities Tab I have assigned an agent.

On the TCode ALRTCATDEF I created Alert Category with the Container, Short text and Long text on the Properties Tab under Rule Based Recipients I have used my "90000001" and done some Binding.

Now on the RWD: Alert Configuration link I am using my Alert Category created on the TCode ALRTCATDEF to trigger an alert.

The problem I am facing is that when sending a wrong messege from my Communication Channel I don't get an alert message on my Alert Inbox (RWD)

Any suggestion, what am I doing wrong.

Thanks,

Yonela

You need to add your SAP ID in alert Fixed receipents in ALRTCATDEF transaction.

Otherwise your alert will not be delivered to your inbox

Hi,

Did u maintained fixed recipients in the alert category?. Did u checked that the SMTP server configured properly or not? SCOT t.code. Did u checked whether the service is activated in SICF t.code?

Hi,

Yes people I am able to get alert error message using the "FIxed Recipients" option but my requirement is to get alert messages based on "Rule Based Recipients", that is why I am using TCode PFAC to create a RULE.

Hi,

To trace the alert logs have a look into the table SXMSALERTLOGGER in SE16, might be helpful.

Hi Yonela,

You need to add your SAP ID in alert Fixed receipents in ALRTCATDEF transaction.

How Sending of Alerts to E-Mail Works Internally??
Ans: 
You will assign the fixed recipients for your alert categoryALRTCATDEF . This user will have a internet email ID maintained SU01. Configure SAPconnect transaction SCOT and this will inform the recipient of an alert.

Further : A system administrator determines the recipients of a particular alert category in the definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF). The administrator can define individual recipients (using Fixed Recipients) or roles (using Recipients Via User Roles). If a role is specified, all recipients who have the assigned role receive the alerts of the category in question.

And how to send alert to multiple mail Id's??
Ans:
Maintian a distibution list with all the recipients inforamatiom and trigger the alert to this distribution list. possible both in your mail server or from SAP
