Hi,
Use the below blog as reference for alerts creation in PO/PI AEX.
Michal's PI tips: Component-Based Message Alerting
You might get confused only at the below areas.Rest you can follow the above doc.
1)On the CBMA
Go to Nwa-->configuration-->Infrastructure-->Java system properties
XPI Service: AF Core
alerting.target-->select and click on modify-->give value “1” -->Click on set
Parameter: Alerting.target = 1 implies CBMA is on
2)JavaMail Client Service Configurations
mail.from :If you are configuring for PROD environment ,ask the concern team to create one mail id for alerts if it is not already available.
Ex:ICoESupportServices@XYZ.com
mail.smtp.host : This should be your company's mail server hostname
mail.smtp.user :user name
mail.smtp.password :password
3)After scheduling the job ,make the interface fail deliberately then the folks whose mail id's configured in AlertConsumerJob should get a mail .If it is not coming then check in Jobs-->select AlertConsumerJob-->log .You will get to know what the issue is ,act accordingly .
Regards
Venkat
