Publish exceptions

1.create query with exceptions


2.use central alert framwork:




  • T-code ALRTCATDEF


  • create alert category


  • create containor element


  • create text for alert message


  • Then you can enter a text and a URL for a subsequent activity (optionally). E.g. you can add a link to a BI Query which should be checked by the recipient in order to react to the alert.


  • In the last step of the alert category configuration you have to assign the alert to the end users. You can enter fixed recipients or roles. If you enter a role, all users that are assigned to that role will get the alert. You can also enter roles, if you press the button "Subscription Authorization". In that case the assigned users will have the option to subscribe for the alert later.


  • In the next step you have to call the BEx Broadcaster and create an Information broadcasting setting based on the query, on which the exception has been defined on. As distribution type you have to choose "Distribute according to exceptions". In the details you can either choose the distribution type "Send Email" or "Create Alert", if you want to distribute the alert via the Universal Worklist. As selection criterion you can either choose to distribute all exceptions or you can choose a specific alert level. In our example we only want to distribute alerts, which have the level "Bad 3".


  • Then you have to assign the corresponding alert category you have created before to your Information broadcasting setting.


  • In the next step you have to do the mapping between the BI parameters of the Query and the alert container elements. These parameters will then be passed over to the alert.


  • In the last step you have to save the Information Broadcasting setting. You can execute the setting directly or you can schedule the execution e.g. periodically each week.


  • As a result you will see 2 new alerts in the Universal Worklist for all users which have been assigned to the alert corresponding alert category. You can access the Universal Worklist in the Enterprise Portal: Business Intelligence 􀃆Business Explorer 􀃆 Universal Worklist.
