• Key Concepts:
  Alternating limit alarm is a feature of SAP MII that allows users to set up alarms for when a process variable exceeds a certain limit. The alarm will be triggered when the process variable exceeds the limit, and then reset when it falls back below the limit. This feature is useful for monitoring processes that have a range of acceptable values, and can help alert users to any potential issues.
  
  How to use it:
  To set up an alternating limit alarm in SAP MII, users must first define the process variable they want to monitor. This can be done in the Process Variables tab of the SAP MII Workbench. Once the process variable has been defined, users can then set up an alarm by selecting the “Alarm” option from the “Actions” menu. From here, users can specify the upper and lower limits for the alarm, as well as any other parameters such as notification methods and severity levels.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When setting up an alternating limit alarm in SAP MII, it is important to ensure that the upper and lower limits are set correctly. If they are too close together, then the alarm may be triggered too often and become annoying. It is also important to ensure that the notification methods are set correctly so that any alarms are received in a timely manner.
