Data Migration

The customer has lots of data in some tables - mostly quality assurance related, traceability - and keeps only last 3 months of data in the main tables.They have already setup archiving which works okay, except it started to get too slow mainly because it takes the rows in the head table one by one.As it does not put a big load on the storage we tried find some option to do it parallel, meaning several archiving jobs (orders) could run for these tables with different filters at the same time.But we found that the jobs are executed one after another:Is there a way to make them run parallel? 

Has anyone successfully used the SYNCDETAILS Rule in a Migration Job? I made the header fields in my file the same what shows in to “Column Name” in File Mapping but when I unpack the file I get Column “xxxx” does not exist.  I am using a csv with double quotes as the Column Embrace and would expect this to apply to the headings as well. 

Hello, After moving a copy of our database to our test environment, we realized our crystal reports are grabbing data from our production environment. Where do I redirect crystal reports to look at our other server in IFS? Thanks!!!

We’re trying to get the migration done and we have an structure like this as a CSV:CSV - source fileAfter we finish the first job which is the creation of the table with this data, there’s no error. The error comes after we execute the second job which is the one that migrates data, I get this error:ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [BUSINESS_UNIT_ID] is mandatory for Business Unit Relation and requires a value. Here is what’s been done:To test we only try to migrate one of the rows, the one with POS_CODE=’50000008’ The attribute string we get is: COMPANY_ID=ABCPOS_CODE=50000008POSITION_TITLE=ASSISTANT MANAGERVALID_FROM=2023-06-22-21.29.22VALID_TO=9999-12-31-00.00.00TIME_FORMAT=Minute by minuteASSIGNED_PROTECTED=FALSE

We’ve just deployed our first IFS Cloud environment and we’re struggling with some features… One of them is regarding Data Migration Jobs. Do you guys know which exact permission (projection) a user must have in order to be able to create new Data Migration Jobs? He’s already been granted Update Allowed permission in Authorized Users screen, but I believe that will work just for the existing jobs already granted for his account, right?Hope you can help me with this.

Hello,A repopulate can be accomplished by calling the DataSourcePopulate method on a window or a child table. Doing this on a form window will repopulate the window, and add newly created records and remove deleted records from the record selector. For table windows and child tables new records will be added and deleted records will be removed from the table.Forms can be refreshed by calling the DataSourceRefresh method. This will re-fetch only the record currently selected in the record selector, with its objid. DataSourceRefresh can be called on table windows but that will do a repopulate rather than a refresh.How do I use this in visual studio?

I’m trying to configure an Excel Migration Job to act on an API that accepts a single attribute, which is a string of keys. I wondered if anyone has had any experience in doing this or something similar.This is the string I get from debug (without the carriage returns) that uses the POSITION_UTIL_API.Modify_Pos method…              p0_ VARCHAR2(32000) :=              'STRUCT_ID'||chr(31)||'16'||chr(30)||              'POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042162'||chr(30)||              'VALID_FROM'||chr(31)||'2023-05-22-00.00.00'||chr(30)||              'VALID_TO'||chr(31)||'9999-12-31-00.00.00'||chr(30)||              'OLD_POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042318'||chr(30)||              'SUP_POS_CODE'||chr(31)||'500042319'||chr(30);I’ve tried many variations in Excel like replacing the || with & and double-quoting like “’STRUCT_ID’”.

Afternoon,Has anyone created a data migration which will import a file from a specified file location on a daily basis? If so, could you share how you did it?  Scope:This migration job will pickup a file from a specified location, import the file and then archive the file upon completion. This job will run on a daily basis at 11pmI can create the data migration job to import the file using the usual manual methods however, haven’t figured out how to automate the pickup from a location.We’re currently using IFS Apps 10 however, looking to go to cloud in the near future.API to be triggered; PROJECT_TRANSACTION_API Thanks!Ryan

Hello IFSers This is an Apps9 problem. I have an event & event action to create a Man Supp Invoice.

My Migration Job based on procedure “CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE” is not able to load data into the IC/TEMP table from a file holding more than 1 million records. Is there a limitation in IFS Cloud to handle the number of records during Data Migration?

Hello,We are seeing very slow data migration speeds when migrating Customer Info Address records. It is taking in excess of 10 seconds per address to migrate. At first, it appeared the deduplication process was the bottleneck, however even after disabling it according to this post we are still seeing slow migration speeds.Is this a known issue? We are running Apps 10 UPD 13.Thanks

I would like to migrate the field “Tax Liability” with already existents customers. I use IFSAPP account with IFS_ALL rights (and Excel ADD In). Il create a migration Job (I tried with Two jobs migration, insert or update, or Excel Add-in and i have the same result)I start the job and load the file.But when I want to start online, an error message occurs : “Access denied! User IFSAPP is not connected to Company”However, IFSAPP as a user is connected to all sites and companies. The update is allowed in the basic data migration setup. IFSAPP is a user per all the companies.Don’t know why the access is denied...   

Hi,I’m looking into the Data Migration Manager component and am looking for a way to migrate data from an external database into IFS Cloud. I took a look at the online documentation and it mentions that in the process of defining a Migration Project, there is a section where you can connect to an environment using a Database Link, which will be created by Cloud Operations in the application.Does anybody have a guide on how exactly we would create or define this Database Link?If I wanted to connect to an external database for data migration, is using the Database Migration Manager the correct process? If so, how does this process work? If not, what is the correct process?Any insights would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Is there some “manual” for what IFS can in the different modules? Some basic step-by-step guide, on a user level? I’m trying to understand what IFS can compared to what we use and where we can improve/benefit from standard functionality. We are currently running Apps9 - But will most likely upgrade to Cloud in the near future.
