Starting Methods 

Use

MTEs in the alert monitor and alerts in the Alert Browser have methods associated with them.

You can call methods that investigate the status of the alert. For example, you can call an analysis method to analyze a component of the R/3 System; collection methods can be used to add monitoring functionality to the monitoring architecture, and auto-reaction methods can be called by the monitoring architecture to react automatically to an alert once it is triggered.

You can call the methods from the monitor display or in the alert browser.
