Defining Alert Categories

SAP Event Management can also track the Delay/Damage unexpected event. If this event occurs, SAP Event Management sends an alert to an alert recipient (for example, an e-mail address). If your scenario requires the system to send alerts to an alert recipient, you must configure the settings as follows.

Prerequisites
You have implemented SAP Note 1680711 (Missing Alert Categories for Activity Parameter IDs) and SAP Note 1534724 (for the alert Damage).

Procedure
1. In Customizing for SAP Event Management, choose Event Management Reactions to Event Messages Define Alert Framework Connection Define Alert Categories . 2. Under All Classifications, choose EM: Alert in SAP EM, or create your own classification. 3. Within the classification you just selected or created, create the following alert categories based on these examples: 3.1 Alert Category When Freight Unit is Delayed Properties tab page: o o o o Alert Category: Z_SCEM_ODT20_DELAY_FU Description: Send E-Mail with Delay Information of Freight Unit Classification: If necessary, create your own classification Priority: High

Defining Alert Framework Integration with SAP Event Management

You specify which alert category the system uses and how the container elements for this alert category are filled from SAP Event Management. This enables you to use the Alert Framework for notification purposes in certain situations, for example, in the event of a delay or contamination.

Prerequisites
You have implemented SAP Note 1534724 for the entry ODT_DAMAGE. You have defined the Alert Framework Connection in the Customizing of SAP Event Management.

Procedure
In Customizing for SAP Event Management, choose Event Management Reactions to Event Messages Define Alert Framework Connection Define Alert Framework Integration to SAP Event Management . Freight Unit is Delayed 1. Select ODT20_DELAY_FU. 2. Copy the selected entry, and rename it to create your own activity parameter ID. Example: Z_ODT20_DELAY_FU. 3. Enter the alert category you defined. For more information, see the chapter Defining Alert Categories. 4. Specify the communication method, for example Internet E-Mail Address. 5. Specify the communication data. Here you enter an Event Management parameter.

For the Transportation Order related business objects, the RESP_EMAIL_ADDR control parameter is populated with the email address of the person responsible. If this email address is not available, it is populated with the email address of the user who made the last change, provided that this user is maintained in the user master data. 6. Choose Enter, and choose copy all to copy the entry with all dependent entries. Freight Order is Delayed 1. Select ODT20_DELAY_FO. 2. Copy the selected entry, and rename it to create you own activity parameter ID. Example: Z_ODT20_DELAY_FO. 3. Continue with step 3 above. Freight Unit is Damaged

Scheduling the Report for Trigger Processing in SAP Transportation Management

SAP TM saves event messages from SAP Event Management in the receiving business documents. SAP TM processes the events as follows: Forward event to a business document Change the execution status of the business document

If a business document (for example, freight order) is locked, the SAP TM system cannot perform the above actions. Instead, the system creates a trigger for each failed action. SAP TM uses report /SCMTMS/PROCESS_TRIGGER_BGD to execute the triggers and perform the actions with as little delay as possible.

Procedure
Schedule and run report /SCMTMS/PROCESS_TRIGGER_BGD periodically.

To make sure that business documents in the system are updated with their new status regularly, run the report often, for example, every 10 minutes.
