Creating, Changing, and Deleting Alert Rules 

Use

You create an alert rule so that you can use alert categories to create alerts in specific situations.

Prerequisites

You have started the central SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI and have chosen Alert Rules.

Creating Alert Rules

To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      To create a rule to produce alerts that are assigned to a specific message, first display the rules that are bound to messages and then choose Add → Rule Bound to Message.

       2.      To create a rule to produce alerts that are not assigned to a message - but which are to be traced to errors that occurred before a message was sent - first display the rules that are independent from messages and then choose Add → Message-Independent Rule.

       3.      Give the rule a name (Description) and specify the alert category you want to use.

       4.      If you want to create a new alert category, choose the corresponding link.

More information: Creating Alert Categories.

       5.      If you want the rule to be activated automatically and to be displayed as active when you add it, select the Active Rule check box.

       6.      If you do not want further alerts to be generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed, select the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox.

       7.      For rules that are bound to messages, specify whether a specific message (with message ID) has to be available (default setting).

       8.      If required, restrict the errors further to:

○       Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with error category or error code)

○       Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with adapter type)

Only errors reported from the Adapter Engine are taken into consideration for message-independent rules.

       9.      If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.

With message-independent rules you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.

   10.      Save your rule to add it to the list of alert rules.

Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules.

Changing Alert Rules

You can change and delete existing rules. To change rules, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Select the rule you want to change in the list of displayed alert rules. The rule details are displayed.

       2.      Make the required changes.

       3.      Save your changes.

Deleting Alert Rules

You can change and delete existing rules.

To delete rules, select the rule in the list of displayed alert rules and choose Delete.
