I had this issue recently and it appeared that the Immediate Alerts timer job for the web application that was not sending Search Alerts was stuck initializing. I disabled the OWSTimer service on the server where the job was initializing and it aborted. Then ran after 5 minutes from another server without issue. It appears to be a configuration cache issue. I think that the config cache became stale during the Immediate Alerts initialization and was stuck in that state.

HI Ann,

I'm sorry but could you be a bit more specific with your alerts configuration and "folders" meaning? How did you enabled the alerts? on what event an alert should be fired? what alerts are being sent "additionally"? what do you mean with 4x or 16x ?

thnx and cheers, Steve

Hi Steve,

I have an issue with my user alerts. We have created alerts for individuals in our organization. We have set the Event Type to New Items added. By default, Send Alerts for These Changes is set to Anything Changes. We only want users to receive a single alert when a new item is added. We do not want any subsequent emails sent when the item changes. I've tried everything for Send Alerts for These Changes and nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you please discuss multiple email notifivation alerts being sent out when using sub-folders. Instead of one to eavh of the four alerts set up, 16 are sent out.
