Setting Package Usage Alerts

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R1 (On-Premises)

You can only set an alarm for packages that you have measured. For more information, see Executing a Package Measurement.

An email alert can be triggered when usage occurs on a package unit or when the usage on a package unit is higher than during previous periods.

When a usage alert is triggered, an email containing the appropriate information is sent to the email address that was specified. This enables you to detect at an early stage when a measurement-relevant package is used. You can deactivate the alert at any time by using the option Deactivate Alert.

To set up alerts for package units:

1. In the Main menu of the SAP Admin module, select an active system from the system landscape.
2. Click Packages, then select Package Analysis from the menu.
3. In the Package Analysis screen, select the desired systems and click the Execute button or press F8.
4. In the Package Analysis – Display screen, select the packages for which you want to set up an alert, and click Display Measurement Results.
5. In the Display Results screen, select the units for which you want to set an alert and click Activate Alert.
6. In the Email dialog that opens, enter the email address to which alerts should be sent. Confirm with Enter.

In the Display Results screen, a check mark in the Email column and the email address indicate that an alert has been set.

After you set up an alert, you need to do the following:

• Specify the parameters for the alert.
• Schedule a regular report.
