Use

You create an alert rule so that you can use alert categories to create alerts in certain situations.

Prerequisites

You have started the Runtime Workbench and have chosen Alert Configuration on the initial screen.

Creating an Alert Rule

To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:

       1.      Give the rule a name (Description).

       2.      Select the alert category that you want to use by clicking the corresponding category in the alert category table.

       3.      If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.

       If your rule results in alerts that must be assigned to a specific message, select the option Yes for the Bound to Message condition.

       If your rule results in alerts that are not assigned to a message, that is, they are caused by errors that occurred before the message was sent, select the option No for the Bound to Message condition.

In this case you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.

       If the rule is to cover both cases, select the Not Relevant option.

       4.      If required, restrict the errors further to:

       Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with or without error category or error code)

       Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with or without adapter type)

Note

You can enter an asterisk (*) in steps 3 and 4. You can enter just the asterisk, or enter it at the start, end, or start and end of a string.

       5.      To add the new rule to the list of alert rules, choose Add Rule.

If the Rule Activated check box is selected (default setting), the rule is automatically activated when you add it and is displayed as active.

If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.

Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules. If you want to display the conditions of a rule, select a rule in the list and choose Show Conditions.

Changing an Alert Rule

...

       1.      Select the rule you want to change in the list of displayed alert rules. The rule is displayed.

       2.      Make the required changes.

       3.      Choose Change Rule.

Deleting an Alert Rule

You can change and delete existing rules. To delete rules, proceed as follows:

      To delete individual rules, select the rule in the list of displayed alert rules and choose Delete.
