Hi - We would like to keep using MXI v 8.1 sp3 until the end of 2027. The plan is to request new license keys yearly in Jan 2024, Jan 2025 and Jan 2026. Is there any issue with continuing to use version 8.1 sp3 until then? Would there be any additional fees that we would be charged to keep using this version and get yearly license keys?

Maintenix terms

Why does Maintenix use use terms that are not industry standard? Two examples come immediately to mind: The term “record oil uptake” should be “record oil service” and using the term “inventory” when ATA codes are the industry standard.Granted both are minor issues but it illustrates a point. That point is there seeming no consulting the people that actually use Maintenix. The people that use Maintenix in high stress environments such as turning aircraft under time constraints.

Price Type Field Modification

The Repair Order Price Type field needs to retain the type selected by the Component Repair Analyst and not change to “Confirmed” when the order is received. Once the CRA validates the service with the vendor that matches the price paid these should remain on the order and not automatically be changed by the system. The field currently changes to confirmed on receipt. Need to validate the Price Type field is a text field Need to expand the Price Type field to include all services: Test, Inspect, Calibration, Minor Repair, Std Repair, Major Repair, Overhaul, Modification, RAI

Can someone please inform us how they are providing access to their Maintenix system to third parties i.e. MRO / Line stations ? Do you use citrix, vpn, or some other technology, or are your servers on the internet? We are trying to plan our configuration and are looking to find out how others have theirs configured.

Basic Data Setup for Flight Line Maintenance

Is there any documentation how to setup IFS Cloud - Flight Line Maintenance? I have been trying to sandbox out the Functionality so I know how it all works and what it can and can’t do. The content in IFS Academy just provides and introduction of the functionality and little demo, but not much information on the basic data setup.What I am looking at is the level of dependencies it has on other IFS Modules and Products.The big questions I am looking at are;Is it pretty standalone or do I need Maintenix and/or ATCM to make it work.What levels of AV Structure needs to captured, and can you build ad-hoc structures on the fly as opposed needing the data prepositioned as you do with Maintenix. I am also looking at Part Request and want to understand where parts are Issued from? Could this be Warehouse (Distribution) or does in need to Maintenix Inventory?

HiMaintenix allow user to move Workpackage (WP) from one TRACK to another when there is only one WP with status IN-WORK. But if there are more then one WP with status IN-WORK then the system doesn’t allow it, why not ?This happen quite often for us when C-check is coming to an end that the aircraft is moved between Hangar (track) slots.

On-wing Component Tasks with Calendar Limits going overdue on Shelf

Hi,Would like to get ideas on how Maintenix users in Organisations handle inventory with calendar based on-wing tasks that go overdue whilst on shelf.I believe this would affect any organisation using Maintenix for components with/without a supply solution. When inventory has an overdue task, a Maintenix job changes the status REPREQ. The supply department would suspect the inventory requires repair, (in our business requires back-office review for each part to consider) The inventory cannot be issued or electronically fitted by the maintenance repair organisation without this back office support to clear or overrun the task. The maintenance repair organisation maybe now subject extra work without notification, this is depending on how your business handles overdue tasks. In our business we need to have the units RFI. Therefore back-office support is always required.Explored options such as;Baseline Create on Install, suits a limited range of tasks due to complaince.DANI - Do at next i

Where can I find out more about the aircraft configuration manager?

A few years ago, IFS (A&D) embarked on building up an aircraft configuration manager application that was intended to work to help keep operators up to date with manufacturer IPC changes (among other things). I do not see it in the product catalog (partner portal) yet. Is there more information available for it somewhere?

How are other operators managing kits that have alternate part numbers?

At Southwest we have hundreds of examples where we have an in-house built kits as alternates to OEM kits, however the functionality in Maintenix does not allow for alternate kit part numbers. Curious if other users have dealt with this and if so, how are they managing this?

Hi all,An impact assessment has taken place on the IFS Maintenix tech stack to determine required mitigation actions to secure your on prem systems. Please note only versions 8.3 and 8.3-SP1 are affected by this issue. We will be releasing software updates on all supported streams to upgrade log4j2 to version 2.15.0.2021-12-14 Update: We anticipate software updates to be delivered by Friday 2021-12-17.2021-12-14 Update: Updates will upgrade to Apache’s log4j 2.16.0.2121-12-17 Update: Apache has released a new CVE-2021-45046 to indicate that the below recommended mitigation techniques are not sufficient to contain all possible vectors. The new recommendation is to install log4j 2.16.0 which completely removes the ability to perform a JndiLookup, there is an alternate mitigation technique to manually remove the class file from the jar if an upgrade to 2.16.0 is not possible. Please refer to Apache’s security article on this topic. ALL >= 8.3 IFS MAINTENIX INSTALLATIONS: The alternate

Data Messaging Platform for IFS User Community

Swiss-AS offering AMOS is one our top competitors in-terms of Airline / MRO customers. Swiss-AS is planning to launch a SaaS-based data messaging platform, AMOScentral, to allow members of the AMOS user group community to connect with one another and later to external service providers.Can we design a messaging platform for all users of IFS Cloud to exchange Images, Queries, Updates, ADs/SBs, Casual Messages, etc., between all users of IFS Cloud? Can we even extend the capabilities of this messaging platform to accommodate Video Calls where users can share the defect details or queries to a targeted user or a group of users (Within the company) or even external (operating a similar model of engine or airplane) and create work instructions based on feedback P.S. Its not about the ability to communicate (any messaging platform can do that) but using the power of the User Group Community to leverage technical know-how

IFS 10 nie uruchamia się.

Dzień dobry.Jak w tytule.Klikam w Enterprise Explorer… i nic się nie dzieje. Także bezpośrednio odpalana “Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application” nie działa.Stało się tak się tak po zawieszeniu komputera w trakcie pracy IFS i zimnym restarcie . Do momentu zawieszenia wszystko było OK. Może trzeba coś wykasować albo w rejestrze coś się “zatrzasnęło”? Bo o ile wiem to instalki w tej wersji niema?Pozdrawiam;Leonard
