Alert Runtime process overview
Step by Step Alert Configuration
Example:
Let’s look at a simple e-mail notification configuration step by step. We
will send an email notification to an end user on errors that occur in an
integration configuration.
Step 1: Create Alert Rules.
Alert Rules can be created in either in Integration Directory (ID) or
Netweaver Administrator. To create Alert Rules centrally using
Netweaver administrator, go to Monitoring home > Configuration and

Administration > Message Alert Rule Configuration. Otherwise, create
them in ID as below.

Create Alert Rule in Integration Directory (ID)
Step 2: Configure Types of Objects to be
Considered for Alert Rule.
You can specify interface related objects such as Integrated
Configuration Object (ICO), Configuration Scenario, Communication
Component etc. If you select either ICO or configuration scenario,
alerts get generated for errors that occur in any stage of message
processing pipeline and for all interface components included in ICO.
Set Alert rule type and enable the Alert Rule.

Add interface objects and configure Alert Rule
Step 3: Configure Error Sources and Alert
Consumer.
Select Error Sources for which the alerts should be generated. Check of
uncheck the Error Sources in the the extended tab of the Alert Rule
configuration. You can configure alerts to be generated based on either
errors which take place in different adapters or other runtime errors
such as message mapping.
Include the consumer name where the generated alerts should be
placed. This defines the local consumer Alert Store where the alerts
generated under this Alert Rule would be placed. Since our aim is to
send the alert as an email, let’s include consumer as ALERT-TO-MAIL.
Configure Alert Rule and assign error types and consumer

If you have a requirement to segregate the alerts and send them to
multiple users, for example, separation of alerts on a SAP functional
area basis, create different consumers which represent each functional
area and assign them the correct interfaces in the Alert Rule.
Example:
ALERT-TO-MAIL-OTC: Assign Interface Runtime Components of
Order to Cash (OTC) functional area to this Alert Rule and
Consumer.
ALERT-TO-MAIL-P2P: Assign interface Runtime Components of
Purchase to Pay (P2P) functional area to this Alert Rule and
Consumer.
Step 4: Configure Java Mail Client.
This is a one time activity and BASIS team usually creates a default mail
client in post installation steps.
But if you need to create one you can do it by maintaining basic settings
such as,

7/27/2019 Alert Configuration Example in PI/PO Single Stack - SAP Integration Hub
Go to NWA Java Scheduler
Select consumer job “AddConsumerAlert” or “AlertConsumerJobV2”
and set a suitable name for the task. AlertConsumerJobV2 is an updated
version of the job and it has more parameters in comparison with the
previous version. For example, you can configure email template and
set the location of the email template file as a parameter.
Job definition and parameters can be viewed from the Job Definition
tab.
Follow the Java Scheduler Task creation configuration wizard.

Hi Thakur, You may have to create a separate

payload in the message mapping.

hello Shashidhar,
Your blogs are very informative. Thank you.
I have a doubt regarding CBMA mechanism which we do
in SAP PO [Link] you please let me know what
settings we need to do in task creation , so that i will
receive only 1 alert for 1 failed message. Is there any
settings that i should do while creating alert rule in
NWA/ID.
Thanks,

Hi Isuru,
Thanks for the detailed blog.
We are using SAP PI 7.11 and in our scenario we pull the
data from SQL tables on sender side. The details related Privacy & Cookies Policy

7/27/2019 Alert Configuration Example in PI/PO Single Stack - SAP Integration Hub
to SQL connection , SQL queries etc . are set in sender
communication channel. Can we use SAP PI Alert
mechanism in our scenario ? For instance if SQL server is
not available or is down then PI will not be able to pull
data. So is in this case we can use PI alert mechanism and
if yes how it can be done?.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Varun,
Check if JDBC alerts or Run-time Error Sources
suites your requirement. if not try using an
adapter module to raise alerts.

Hi Isuru ,
How can I ensure that Alerts generated by known
