Hello,I’m preparing a CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE migration job to upload data in EMPLOYEE_ACCESS_SUP.Looking at the proposed File Mapping, I was surprised by the column list which is pre-set : SUPERVISOR_BU_TYPE_DBVALID_FROMVALID_TOTRANS_FROMTRANS_TOGENERAL_ACCESSORG_CODERELATION_IDINCLUDE_SUBWhen I try the SQL command :select * from EMPLOYEE_ACCESS_SUPI get a list of columns that makes much more sens, 28 columns, such as :Org Bu IdSupervisor Person IdSupervisor Company IdSupervisor Emp NoSupervisor Bu Type DbSupervisor Bu TypeEmp Company IdEmp NoEmp Bu IdEmp Pos CodeAccess RoleValid FromValid ToTrans FromTrans ToGeneral AccessOrg Bu TypeOrg CodeEmployee GroupPerson GroupRelation IdSupervisor Relation IdSupervisor Pos CodeStructure IdStructure TypeOrig Bu IdInclude SubOrganization AssignmentWhy such a difference ?Should I manually add every missing row in the mapping ?Thank you for your help

Dear All,I am conducting research to analyze the primary source applications from which migrations to IFS most commonly occur. Have you observed migrations from JDE, PeopleSoft, Infor, SAP, AS400, or any other systems?ThanxWarna

Is there a secret to using User Defined Target Fields in Data Migration Manager? I’ve created the fields but they’re not showing up anywhere. Is this another bug?

Hi all,I am planning to upload a part creation template as an external file and one of the parameters which has been decided is the Site. This is not in the .csv upload, but rather in the assistant.Is it possible to put multiple values into the parameter in order to facilitate multiple external file transactions like the following?ie. Site = SITE1;SITE2;SITE3

I am trying to migrate subcontract with DATA MIG Tools.I got an error when loading the informations related to the Revision line . When I look into the solution the expected values for this area are as follows.  Can somebody help ! Thank you Christophe. 

While working on migrating data out of IFS, we have noticed that ProjectTransactionSeq does not seem to be indexed in Apps10 UPD20. Is there some reason for excluding this key value from being indexed?Or is the idea to use some other value that is actually indexed?P.S. We are on Managed Cloud Services, so supported by the IFS Cloud. 

It appears the Excel Migration procedure in Data Migration in IFS Cloud 23R1 no longer supports migration into Custom LU’s. This was always possible in Apps 10. This is a very useful piece of functionality that should have been uplifted. Does anyone know why this change has been made, and if there is a workaround, without having to resort to CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE/MIGRATE_SOURCE_DATA jobs as users will not be comfortable with that?

Anyone have luck using a Post Deployment process to change Routing Alternate or Product Structure Alternate from Tentative to Buildable in Data Migration Manager? I’m trying ROUTING_ALTERNATE_API.BUILD_ in this example. I can’t get it to fire off, no matter what settings I try. The Customer Order Status change is very straightforward in comparison, just requiring the ORDER_NO. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the migration not actually filling anything in for the OBJID or OBJVERSION. No idea what should go in the ATTR or ACTION sections. 

We found and issue while attempting to migrate PROD_STRUCTURE rows using the Data Migration Manager.In essence, once we reach the Deployment Container screen and when we click on Deploy, nothing gets deployed. Even worse, there is no error message or anything to indicate if the deployment failed or something else is preventing the action to complete.Because a video is easier to show this condition I uploaded this video on YouTube so you can see what exactly is going on. https://youtu.be/5z6YtX-Cz4sAny idea as to what could be happening?

I am trying to create a migration job to migrate custom data from our Apps 10 system to our new CLOUD system.  I have set up a number of migration jobs for custom field in Apps 10 and I tried to replicate it in CLOUD, but it did not work. I am trying to find instructions for CLOUD.  Does anyone have instructions for CLOUD.

INVENTORY_PART_UNIT_COST isn’t available to search for in DMM and when I try to add it, I get “The View You entered is not a valid view”.  Is this a bug or are we supposed to use a different view for migrating unit costs?

I’m trying to migrate some inventory locations into IFS Cloud but seem to come across one issue. But, I can’t figure for the life of my see why it’s happening.  This is the error that I’m getting, but every other location with the same location group is working fine. Has anyone else seen this issue and found a solution?

I did it once a while ago but forgot how to do it again. I am looking to extract the navigator items to excel in a format as such: >Scheduled Tasks Conversion 1 MENU >My Administration 1 MENU >My Administration>Basic Data Translation 2 PAGE >My Administration>Notifications 2 PAGE >My Administration>My Tasks 2 PAGE >My Administration>My Lobbies 2 INTERNAL >My Administration>My Industry Lobby Results 2 PAGE >My Administration>Subscription 2 PAGE >My Administration>Subscriptions 2 PAGE >My Administration>Scheduled Tasks 2 MENU >My Administration>Scheduled Tasks>New Database Task Schedule 3 ASSISTANT >My Administration>Scheduled Tasks>Database Task Schedule 3 PAGE >My Administration>Scheduled Tasks>Database Task Schedules 3 PAGE >My Administration>Scheduled Tasks>New Database Task Chain Schedule 3 ASSISTANT >My Administration>

I have a Basic Data Table called COMPANY_FINANCE. One of the fields is CURRENCY_CODE and it is validated against an environment we have called STG. When I validate basic data on COMPANY_FINANCE I get an “Error, Basic Data” message and upon inspection I see that “ISO_CURRENCY validation failed, basic data target table cannot be found” The ISO_CURRENCY table on STG does have a value for USD… so it should NOT fail…  I’m clearly missing something, but I don’t understand what. Why is it failing on Basic Data when the target environment DOES have that Basic Data available?

Hello all, I’m trying to upload some data into IFS Cloud CFG and have come across an error message that I can’t figure out the cause of.  It says the following:ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [MAPPING_TYPE] is mandatory for Payment Address and requires a value. If any of you have come across this before and found a solution, your help would be greatly appreciated! 

Hello everyone and thanks for reading me. I currently have some quick reports that are scheduled to be sended to coworker emails with an excel file (from a query). Its there a way to add VBA code to the excel attached like the following: Sub Sample()   Debug.Print Now   Dim ws As Worksheet   Dim wsTemp As Worksheet   Set ws = Sheet1   Set wsTemp = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add   ws.Columns(1).Copy wsTemp.Columns(1)   wsTemp.Columns(1).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo   If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Columns(1)) <> _      Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(wsTemp.Columns(1)) Then       Debug.Print "There are duplicates in Col A"   Else       Debug.Print "duplicates found in Col A"   End If   Application.DisplayAlerts = False   wsTemp.Delete   Application.DisplayAlerts = True   Debug.Print NowEnd Sub The main purpose its to automatically mark duplicated values in the excel reportThanks for your help!

Hi, I’m migration Parts with Serial Nos into Inventory Part in Stock table in IFS using Data Migration Job. But my Part & Serial Nos are not reflecting in Part Serial screen. But if I create them manually, they reflect in Part Serial screen. How can see them in Part Serial screen using Migration Job?

Hi,We are currently exploring a solution for one of our clients in the Defense sector.They aim to secure their Sensitive Data on IFS Cloud while ensuring compliance with ITAR regulations, especially in terms of Data display and access (e.g., Parts, Suppliers, etc.).Do we have an integrated solution in IFS to manage Sensitive Data and ITAR requirements, or do we have any references or documentation on how we can address this type of issue? Thanks in advance!

Hello All,We have a lot of Migration Jobs, and we want to migrate all of them in a new IFS Cloud environment.Are there any ways to accomplish this at once? Can we make a Migration Job for this task? Thank you for your help.

Hi,Is it possible to create multiple lines in the output files.  The csv file gets like this. I want it to be like this I was referring to other community posts. But did not manage to get it correct

I have a question about the Additional Deployment Process functionality in Data Migration Manager projects. In short, is the functionality even implemented correctly in 24R2 or am I wasting my time in trying to get this to work? I’m trying to migrate the EQUIPMENT_SERIAL object and eventually update the hierarchy. For performance reasons, the EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ field is auto generated and in the hierarchy, based on the SUP_CONTRACT and SUP_MCH_CODE fields, the FUNCTIONAL_OBJECT_SEQ (others also) is updated. Thought I could implement a Pre Deployment process of type UpdateMissingKeys to retrieve the Sequence from the database but it’s not working. The SQL that I would guess would be generated as the basis of the deployment would be the following using the EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_API.GET_EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ method as the basis to get the key. The SQL works so I’m guessing that DMM in 24R2 is completely foobared.SELECT  src.DATA1 AS CONTRACT,        src.DATA2 AS MCH_CODE,        src.DATA48 AS

Hello,I created a custom projection. I added Entities but from the allowed operations, I could only select READ.What do I have to change to also select CREATE, UPDATE and DELETE?Thanks, Golo 

Hi All, How do you normally access IALs in IFS Cloud 24R1 Production environment from outside IFS for Data Warehouse or Data Lake requirements.I assume you use IFSINFO - ReadOnly user to access database directly but I would like to know your experience on this.

Has anyone used the IFS Data Migration Manager ETL tool for actual migration projects? I’m looking for feedback on the user experience and the tool’s practical applications. 1of30responses
