Alert Triggering Operator

The Alert Triggering Operator component allows configuring an alert which is triggered if the branch containing the component is activated. When an alert is triggered and if the charging operation is successful, a notification is then published by SAP Convergent Charging to a dedicated system.

Notes:

  • The notification is published only if this function is activated. Refer to your administrator for more information or consult the SAP CC Configuration Guide.

  • The notification handling must be implemented in your external system by the implementation project team. If SAP Convergent Charging is connected to SAP ERP/FI-CA, the default integration does not take into account the notification based on the Alert Triggering Operator component and a specific implementation project is necessary.

Example

Using Wireless M2M communications, a vending machine can be installed virtually anywhere but should be connected to a support centre to signal when the vending machine is empty, full of change, or out of service. To do that, the price plan can include an Alert Triggering component to trigger an alert that notifies a dedicated system.
