Process documentationDetermining and Saving Alert Situations

 

You can use program /SAPAPO/READ_ALERTS_BATCH to determine and save alert situations, which you can call up and process at a later point. For determining alerts in the background (see Determining Alerts in the Background), you must schedule this program as a periodic background job.

Prerequisites

You have selected alerts in an overall alert profile, which you have set up for alert determination in the background. For more information, see Configuring Overall Alert Profiles for Alert Determination in the Background.

Process

You can specify the overall profiles for which the system should determine and save the alert situation as follows:

  • All due overall profiles

    If you select this option, the system first checks which overall profiles are due. When you configure an overall profile for alert determination in the background, you can specify when the overall profile is due for alert determination. The system determines and saves the alerts for all due overall profiles. At the same time, the system updates the next due date/time, according to the repeat interval, for the overall profiles affected.

  • Selected overall profiles

    Here you can select one or more overall profiles for which the system should determine and save alerts. The system first checks whether the selected overall profiles have reached their due dates, before it determines the corresponding alerts.

    • Ignore due dates/times

      If you also set this indicator, the system determines and saves the alerts for all selected overall profiles, regardless of their due dates/times.
