		+	'''Notification scenarios'''
		+	:* If the number of pending (for dispatch) E-Mails exceeds the defined maximum number of pending E-Mails.
		+	:* If the age (in minutes) of the oldest pending (for dispatch) E-Mail exceeds the defined maximum age of pending E-Mail.
		+
		+
		+	'''Restart scenarios'''
		+	:* Dispatcher crashes due to error, e.g., lack of memory
		+	:* Dispatcher hangs due to db deadlocks or waiting for response from mail-server
		+
		+
		+	'''Notification not reaching the recipient'''
		+	:* Is the message notification getting generated in egpl_message table of Active DB? If yes, the problem may be an indication that Messaging functionality is not working. Check if normal Messaging functionality works fine.
		+	:* If there is no message notification, and if the notification was to be sent by the Alarm Workflow, check if the Alarm schedule has been met. Set log level to FINEST (for Workflow modules in the Logger section of System Console), and check for message ‘Executing Workflow:xxx’ in <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log OR eg_log_<server_name>_rules-cache-process.log.
		+	:* Check whether alarm condition returns true
		+
		+
		+	'''Workflow does not seem to get executed''' Check schedule
		+	:* Configure notification to see if workflow is working
		+	:* Check filter
		+
		+
		+	'''Single instance per partition implies that more heap size is required for the Alarms process'''
		+	:* Allocate more heap size for the Alarms process, if there are a large number of Alarm workflows in a partition
		+	:* One instance per process
		+
		+	'''Case based alarms'''
		+	:* Cannot have a queue start node
		+	:* Cannot have nodes after Alarm node
		+
		+	'''Telnet commands for SMTP'''
		+	:* telnet <hostname> 25 – to connect
		+	:* EHLO <domain name or machine name>
		+	:* mail from:<from-E-Mail-address>
		+	:* rcpt to:<recipient-address>
		+	:* data
		+	:* <type E-Mail content to be dispatched>
		+	:* <type period(.)> - period on a new line signifies end of content
		+	:* E-Mail gets sent on pressing Enter, after the period
