Alert Configuration Steps: Defining Alert Categories in ABAP Stack
This document explains the steps that need to be followed for generating ALERTS
(developer responsibilities).
T-Code : ALRTCATDEF (to access this we require the authorizations of the role
SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR)
Once entering into this T-Code we can see a screen as shown below.
Step 1: Under All Classifications folder in top left hand side we can find a Sub-Folder
/XI/, double click it and at the right side we will find an option to create Alert_Category
Step3: Once the category is created click on it to assign the container objects & technical
attributes as shown.
In the above screen shot we can find 4 tabs, in each of the tab we need to provide the
related information:
TAB 1: Properties-Under this tab we can provide General Description and other details if
needed.
TAB 2 : Container:
You cannot use these container variables for alerts of the Business Process Engine (BPE).
o Under this tab we need to give some reasonable description, this description will
be processed through the mail to all recipients when an alert mail is generated.
o Short Description appears as Subject Line and Long Description will be in the

Step 4

Step 5
If you cannot open your alert inbox (neither from TCODE - ALRTINBOX nor
from RWB)
check if your alert inbox service is properly activated in SICF:
- go to TCODE - SICF
- check if the service alertinbox is activated (you can test it from here)
Step 6
If you don't receive any alert into your alertinbox but you believe that they are
triggered check if the alerts were created:
- go to TCODE - ALRTCATDEF
- go to TCODE - SLG1
- and from here you can check if your alert was generated or not
- if you have a look at "additional information" you can also check the recipients
of the alert
Step 7
If still your alerts don't get triggered one more time take a look at:
