I'm looking to change the email alert content. Currently, I'm receiving:

Standard Category for Interfaces (The triggering application determined you as a recipient)

Alert ID: ##01991##

Can someone point me in the right direction where I can configure the content of the email?

thanks,

Robert.

Hi Robert

Go to Transaction ALRTCATDEF

Select in classifications /AIF/ALERTS

Then in Alert category select /AIF/ALERT_CAT_DEF

Go to change mode and make a copy. PS I strongly advise against changing the standard /AIF/ALERT_CAT_DEF.

Provide a name and select the copied alert definition

Then select the tabs “Long and Short Text and make the needed modifications

For email: Message text is the subject and Long text is the body

For a quick test run the report RSALERTTEST

  Specify the alert category that we have created in ALRTCATDEF.

  Check additional Configuration

  Execute

  In External recipients choose method INT and enter in Communication an valid email

  Click Create alert

  Check your email inbox or transaction SOST

Then in AIF go to /AIF/CUST -> Error Handling -> Name space specific -> Configure Alerts

and update alert category of your interface to the new one you created

PS In case you need to translate

The texts on the tab long and short text are stored as standard texts

Text Name : A concatenation of <alertcategoryname>+S/L/T.

Ex. for category ZAIF_TEST : ZAIF_TESTS    ZAIF_TESTL    ZAIF_TESTT

Text ID: ALRT

Go to transaction SO10 select ZAIF_TEST with Text ID: ALRT and choose the language you want to update or create.

Additionally you can find these names in table SALRTCATT. The description of the category itself is the field DESCR of table SALRTCATT with spras as language key.

Hope this helps,


Marc

Hi Robert

If you are on a dual stack system, you can refer to the following guide on alert configuration

Basically, you need to find out which alert category that was used in your system, and then go to t-code ALRTCATDEF, and change the Long & Short Text definition for it.

Below is also another SAP library reference for alert configuration.
