In this article, we will learn how to create and manage alerts in Smart Business Service.
How to Create and Manage Smart Business Alert
Below section will explain how to create alert and how to use it. Make sure you have configured BusinessSystem and OAuth Client as described in section “Register Smart Business as OAuth Client with OAuth Service”.
- Create a KPI based using BusinessSystem00. Use Purchase entity and WeightedAverageRating measure.
2. Create an evaluation using the KPI and provide a threshold values.
3. Create and publish tile for this KPI and evaluation.
4. Go to Workspace and select the KPI à Evaluation. Click on Subscribe Alert.
5. Provide alert description, alert owner and alert recipient email ids.
6. Click on Save and you will see the Alert in pending state as below.
7. The alert owner will get an email which will provide details of the alert and link to approve the alert.
8. Alert owner can click on the link to approve the alert.
9. It redirect to OAuth authorization page. Click on Approve to approve the alert.
10. Finally the alert will be approved and will be seen as in Active state.
11. In case the KPI value breaches the threshold, all recipients will get an alert email as below.
Note: A complete implementation guide on Smart Business Service is also available at SAP-Press.
Nice blog. In step 4 "Go to Workspace and select the KPI à Evaluation. Click on Subscribe Alert. " I am able to see the Subscribe alert button. When I click on that I do not see anything happening.

Hi Chandra,
Access Configure Business System app from: SCP Cockpit –> Services –> Smart Business Service –> Configure Service, now select Configure Business System tile.
Information needs to be maintained for accessing Alert feature in Configure Business System:
Provide Client ID (generated in Step 1 in below section), Authorization & Token Provider destinations. These destination has to be configured in SCP Cockpit. Corresponding URLs to be used can be taken from Security –> OAuth –> Branding –> OAuth URLs.
Steps to get Client ID:
Format of re-direct url to be maintained:
Note: Manage SB Alerts app must be available in the default site of the Fiori Launchpad for the redirect url to work properly
Hope this answered your question.

Hello
I have a problem while trying to registrate the SB as an OAuth Client for a trial account.
Using the following Redirect URL https://flpportal-(accountID).dispatcher.hanatrial.ondemand.com/sites#SMBAAS-alertSubscriptions?sitePresent=false gives me an incorrect URL error.
Do you have any suggestions?
Hello,
Please make sure that “Manage SB Alerts” app is available in the default site of the Fiori Launchpad for the redirect-url to work properly.
Kindly create an incident on SAP Support Portal
