Process documentationConfiguring Overall Profiles for Alert Determination in the Background

 

To determine alerts in the background (see Determining Alerts in the Background), you must configure one or more overall profiles for alert determination in the background. Program /SAPAPO/READ_ALERTS_BATCH can only determine and save alert situations that correspond to an overall profile that has been configured for background determination.

Prerequisites

You have scheduled program /SAPAPO/READ_ALERTS_BATCH as a periodic background job. For more information, see Determining and Saving Alert Situations.

Process

  1. You call up overall profile maintenance for alert determination in the background.

    On the initial screen of the Alert Monitor, choose Alert Profile. The Alert Profile Maintenance screen appears. Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Alert Determination in the Background End of the navigation path, or from Favorite Management, choose the Alerts in Background tab page.

  2. You assign a user.

    If you are setting up an overall profile for alert determination in the background for the first time, you are automatically assigned as an administrator. Each overall profile can only be configured once for alert determination in the background.

    To assign an overall profile to yourself that you have configured for alert determination in the background, proceed as follows:

    • From Favorites Management, you assign yourself the overall profile using drag and drop.

    • You manually assign yourself the overall profile when you configure it for alert determination in the background.

    You can only enter or change settings for background determination if you are assigned as an administrator (with the exception of the email address).

    All overall profiles that are configured for alert determination in the background, and for which you are assigned as the user, are displayed in the screen area Overall Profiles Available for Background Determination.

  3. You make settings.

    If you are setting up an overall profile for alert determination in the background for the first time, you can now make any required settings and save them. Make sure that the repeat interval is not smaller than the repeat period for the scheduled background job. The alerts are only determined for as long as the background job has been scheduled. If, for example, the background job is scheduled twice a day, entering a repeat interval of one hour when you configure the overall profile is not useful.
