In the production system, you do not have to have the Alert window open constantly and monitor it, because you can have the system notify you by e-mail in the event of critical system statuses.
To refresh the display of the tab pages, choose Refresh.
If a check returns a yellow or red traffic light, you should read and work through the instructions in the Action column.
To call up the details of a check, double-click the associated row. The detailed information is displayed in the TREX admin tool (stand-alone) below the table. In the SAP system, the detailed information is opened in a new window.
