SharePoint 2007 - WSS 3.0 Alerts
I have encountered an unusual error in my staging environment for my current project (Beta2TR). We are getting ready to pilot the site to a few users and are creating steps for the users to use to test the functionality.
One of the steps involves creating an alert on a list. As I was testing this step I got the following error:
For some reason it seems like the alert template associations are broken in the Beta2TR. By running the following stsadm script the problem is resolved.
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://servername -filename "C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\template\XML\alerttemplates.xml"
This was tough to track down. I only found 1 resource in the hour or 2 that I researched this.
After running the script, I now get the create alert page I was expecting:
Phew!
