Tip: Container elements in Alert text

[רונן פוקס]

Hello All,
 
This is not a 100% workflow issue but I think it might be of interest to the group.
 
In the Alert framework we had a problem that alert texts, both title and body did not show the variables of containers entered in the text.
 
For example: an alert is triggered each time a service notification is created (Business object type BUS2080)
 
In the alert definition a container element NOTIFICATION based on object BUS2080 is defined.
 
The alert text is: Notification &NOTIFICATION.NUMBER& created
 
At runtime the text shown is: Notification <not found> created.
 
After a lot of OSS notes searching I got the following reply from SAP:
 
The text should be defined with only the field name, like this:
 
OK:           Notification &NUMBER& created
NOT OK:    Notification &NOTIFICATION.NUMBER& created
 
 
For some strange reason - this works perfect !
As much as I know this is not documented in any SAP note.
 
Hope this tip helps !
Cheers,
Ronen
