Data Migration

Hi All, Do IFS have a document which has the correct object migration sequence?In most cases, Data Migration specialists working on IFS data migration using Data Migration Manager do not know about IFS. So they do not know for example you have to migrate ‘Master Part’ first before migrating an Inventory Part,It would be useful ,If we have a simple document which has the correct order of performing migration for at least commonly used Migration Objects. 

Hi all,Our IFS Application en Database servers are running on Windows 2012R2. We are currently in the process of updating those servers to Windows Server 2019. Before we proceed, we would like to hear from anyone who has experience with performing in-place upgrades to either Windows Server 2016 or 2019.Our team is considering the in-place upgrade route as it offers the advantage of retaining existing settings, configurations, and applications. However, we are aware that this process can be complex and potentially risky, so we are seeking insights and advice from those who have gone through this upgrade journey before.If you have successfully completed an in-place upgrade from IFS servers running 2012R2 to either Windows Server 2016 or 2019, we would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you in advance!

We have been attempting to migrate absence data into an environment as a trial for bringing absences in that are registered outside the system. The migration job uses the ABSENCE_REGISTRATION view using the INSERT_OR_UPDATE procedure.  I am experiencing two issues, this is the first. We are able to successfully bring the absences into IFS Cloud however when the value is less than one day (irrespective of the absence type setup being working hours or working days) the system automatically turns absences less than 1 day or less than the scheduled 8 hours into 1 whole day or a full day schedule. The issue we have is that it isn’t uncommon to book less than your scheduled hours yet when we try to migrate data into this view we aren’t able to successfully include a time in the format. Does anyone have experience of a similar migration job where you have encountered the same issue?Things I have tried so farUsing TIME_FROM and TIME_TO but only a date format is being accepted. When you run a r

Good day,I’m sure it’s a simple thing that I have overlooked, but I don’t have one of the Source Mapping Columns present in the Search function. I’m using IFS Cloud, and I believe COMPANY is the attribute of CUSTOMER_CREDIT_INFO.Missing column​Here is what the Source Mapping looks like: Here is what the Method List looks like: And lastly, the fetch condition is the following:CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO=CUSTOMER_INFO_ADDRESS.CUSTOMER_ID and CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO=CRM_CUST_INFO.CUSTOMER_ID and CUSTOMER_INFO_ADDRESS.CUSTOMER_ID=CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER_ADDRESS.CUSTOMER_NO andCUSTOMER_INFO_ADDRESS.ADDRESS_ID=CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER_ADDRESS.ADDR_NO and CUSTOMER_CREDIT_INFO.IDENTITY=CUST_ORD_CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO Add-in version: 23.1.5.0Thank you!

The requirement is to read csv file from FTP folder for 'On Server' Data Migration. The file format should be dynamic name (file name concatenated with current date, for example PartMaster_&DATE.csv). But the 'On Server' migration is working with static file name format (PartMaster.csv) but not with dynamic name.  IFS responded that R&D team has identified this as the expected behavior of the IFS Cloud applications and as of now it only allows to write data to a on-server file with the extensions.The import functionality might be included in near future as an enhancement of the application.

Are we able to create batch user in IFS Cloud  

Is it possible to have multiple SSIS catalog folders in the environment parameters within IFS Cloud.  We would like to keep our data separated for various reasons.

Using DMM, I have setup a migration object for Customers.  I’ve added all the target tables and performed some of the mappings.  I then realized I forgot a specific target table, so I created it and added it to the Migration Object.  You can then go to Mapping where you can add it to Legacy Tables With Locked Loads no problem.  However, when you go to mapping detail, it never shows up in the list of target tables.  I always have to create a new migration object separately to do the mapping and migration of this.  Anyone else run into this?

Is there any “master list” of fields for all pages/modules in IFS Cloud with the field’s purpose?  Or at the very least, the following:Inventory Part/Part Maintenance/Part Record Customer/ Customer Maintenance/ Customer Record Supplier/Vendor Maintenance/ Supplier RecordAs we prepare for our 3rd wave of implementation, our top level decision makers would like this information in order to make sure the proper people are assigned responsibility for these items, and I’m just curious if anything already exists to help this.
