Hi All -- hoping for some help with a migration job issue I’ve been struggling with. I need another pair of eyes to see what I’m overlooking.I’ve got a job containing two separate views, plus the custom field view for one. Validating my job results in “Validate OK”, however upon execution I receive “The Sales Part Base Price already exists.”  I’m trying to update the custom field (CF$_ACCEPTABLE_USE_CODE_DB) or any field in the line, and not create a new one. Attaching screenshots of everything I can think of… I’m also a rookie when it comes to data migration.

Hello IFS Community! I’m assessing a strategy for a legacy ERP migration into a PRODUCTION IFS APPS 10 (UPD16). This is a multi-tenant  instance (many companies are running on this IFS instance). There is already one company operational and I am migrating company #2.My question is this: we are considering two strategiesMigrate this new company (let’s call it, company “A”) into PRODUCTION where the current company (company “B”) is operational. Do the migration and QA work directly in PROD. Once the GO-NO GO decision is made (if GO) then just start using PROD with no further delays. In this approach there is no freeze period for company “B” Migrate this new company in a staging environment that we will clone off PRODUCTION (so all of company’s “B” data is there), freeze PROD during migration (tell users of company “B” site is off-limits for now). Do the migration and QA work there (in staging). Once the GO-NO GO decision is made (if GO) then clone back the staging into PROD and unfreeze
