Issue Description

Recently in our SharePoint 2013 farm, I had noticed that the "Alert Me" button was missing from library tab in 
SharePoint Ribbon.



Resolution

STSADM:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv true -url http://webappURL
PowerShell
$webapp=Get-SPWebApplication "http://webappURL"
$webapp.AlertsEnabled = $true

$webapp.Update()
