The site I am working on has notifications going to to alternates just fine. Did you try to had to add a notification to the approval process being used which sent the notifications to alternates? See if that works. When you add the notification, you should see a filter created on the join form. Also make sure that the alternates field is populated so there is a 'To' and also a relevant 'tag' in the SYS:NotificationMessages form. We are on ARS 7.1 P9, ITSM 7.0.3 P10, Approval 7.1 P9 Do you have any approval server logs and filter? Saby

If you have BMC support, try to see if they can shed some light on this. If it’s a defect, you may be doing more work trying to deconstruct it. Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.
