SOLVED: Too many emails generated when using SEARCH_COUNT

[bwalk]

Good Day Devs,
I'm working on a process that sends out an email for each 'task' BO that is DUE but does not have an Overseer assigned.
I have 3 such DUE tasks and in debug I get those 3 records put in context. But when the emails are sent I get 6 emails, not the 3 that I'm expecting.
I get 3 emails for 1 task, 2 emails for the 2nd task and 1 email for the last task.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thx

I recommend using the test log to see how many records are found by the FIND action. That will point you a bit.

Thank you kklosson ,
I have used the 'debug' feature and I can see that the FIND does find the 3 records that are DUE.

It is my experience that Aware sometimes executes processes 2 times even though it shouldn't and I can't see it in any logs. This could possibly be something similar i.e the process runs 2 times. Try splitting the sends up e.g do find in batches of processing instead and see if that works as it should.

hpl123, thank you for your response,
I added 'IN BATCHES OF 1' to the end of my FIND and IT WORKS! I get the correct number of emails!
Cant' say that I understand it but it fixes the problem.
Thank you all for your comments, been working on this for days and days!
?? Should this be reported to Vladimir as a bug? ?

Sure, no worries and Aware acts in mysterious ways sometimes and regarding some of these issues, they are more or less impossible to reproduce as they happen sporadically etc. + some of it is a "blackbox" e.g Java etc. running and we have limited if any insight into what is happening behind the scenes. I usually report something if I have experienced it many times and can somewhat reproduce it and these issues with process running 2 times is reported sometime in the past by me and/or others but I can´t remember the specifics. Another thing is, the question is also always if it really is a bug. Sometimes the rule engine does things that makes sense from the rule engines perspective but we don´t understand it and can´t see everything in the logs or we use functions and we think we know how it works but it works differently etc. so then we have to more look at what exactly is happening instead i.e what is the result and then work around it instead e.g use the IN BATCHES OF 1 thing you did now if we can´t get it working the way it "should" according to AwareIM, the manual etc..
