Documentation
Definition
Specifies the maximum number of alerts that should be kept active for a particular monitor attribute. Should the number of alerts exceed this limit, then the excess alerts are discarded according to the method specified for the attribute (see data element ALKEEPALTY).
In addition to this user-definable limit, the number of alerts that can be held is limited by the physical size of the shared memory area set aside for the monitoring architecture. Space in this area is allocated for monitoring objects and attributes, properties, and data. Remaining space is filled with alerts. The number of alerts that can be retained can therefore be increased by allocating more shared memory to the monitoring architecture (SAP system profile parameters for shared memory).
Supplementary Documentation - ALKEEPALMX0000
Use
Upper limit refers here to the individual message IDs in a message. Alerts are retained for every message ID up to the upper limit. Superflous alerts are removed from the list of processable alerts.
Message IDs usually correspond to SAP components. Message-ID 00, for example refers to the messages for the Basis kernel components. Message ID RA is reserved for the monitoring architecture (alert monitor)
Procedure
Examples
If you enter the value "10", up to 10 messages for each active message ID will be retained.
