Data Migration

Hi everyone,I’m unable to use a migration job to input a non-inventory sales parts with JUST a tax class.  If I try, I get the following error… I can however, create one with JUST a tax code.The odd thing is that if you debug the sales_part_api call when using IFS, both tax class AND tax code are supplied i.e. from the debug attr'TAX_CODE'||chr(31)||''||chr(30)||'TAX_CLASS_ID'||chr(31)||'1'||chr(30)|| Can anyone share any light on why this is? 

Hello, I’m reaching out for your help to find out if :Is the transfer of post-its from version V8 and V9 to IFS Cloud done in the same way?Thank you 

I am using IFS Apps 9 and would like to know if there is a way to mass import media items (images) in a folder and then associate them with inventory parts.  The images are named by the inventory part number.Could this be a data migration job…?Anyone done this type of import before, or similar?Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Can you help me for Purchase_Part_Supplier Data Migration. We don’t want to write for all rows in excel for column “LINE_NO”. We can arrange it with a select statement but I couldn’t do it. This doesnt work. (selectMAX(line_no)+1 FROM PURCHASE_QUANTITY_PRICE ppsWHERE CONTRACT = pps.contractAND VENDOR_NO = pps.vendor_noand PART_NO = pps.part_no) Thank you. I attached a similar problem from community as well. Excel migration issue with update of purchase_quantity_price | IFS Community  

Hi,I have issues with running an Excel Migration job updating valid to date on the current price line on supplier price list (purchase_quantity_price). I get the familiar error “Object does not exist”, but I have all key attributes present and the same job works in another IFSAPP10 database for the same customer. The job is set so that the only attribute to be updated is “VALID TO DATE”. Has anybody had issues with updating purchase_quantity_price?I can say that creating new records works fine. B.RPer

Hello, Trying to implement a user available excel migration file and have to solve two problems to make it useable.  problem 1) Want to make one of the columns a drop down with 5 to 6 options for ease of input and formatting. Other values could be manually input but the drop down would contain the most frequently used values. Would prefer to do this using Client Values and not DB values. In this example it would be the Work Task Template ID  - Description - Rev. Problem 2) This specific migration container is to a custom page and the primary values are Contract and Line No. The issue is that the migration file is asking for line DB value and the user will not have access to that information since its not viewable in the client. There is an API call to the OBJKEY on that table which is the DB value for the Line Number. Trying to determine how to have the file fetch the DB value after the user specifies the client value.  I’ve scoured documentation and watched numerous videos with no luc

The following print-screen show the state of one of my Output Containers, as you can see:It refers to IDENTITY_PAY_INFO It’s key (COMPANY, IDENTITY, PARTY_TYPE_DB) is: TESTCO, ABC0001 and CUSTOMER (respectively) Is in Approved stateIn addition to that, IDENTITY_PAY_INFO is referred by another table PAYMENT_WAY_PER_IDENTITY. On that table, It is expected that the field PARTY_TYPE_DB should exist in IDENTITY_PAY_INFO, as you can see in this Target Table Definition.With this information in mind… then why this row in PAYMENT_WAY_PER_IDENTITY failing if the corresponding record already exist in  IDENTITY_PAY_INFO when I validate basic data?To me the information is already there, so it shouldn’t fail.Also, what does the word “CASCADE” represent in the Reference column in the target table definition (as in this case where the reference is “IdentityPayInfo(company,identity)/CASCADE”)?

Hi,We are in middle of upgrading from IFS 9 to Cloud and uplifting all our Migration Jobs. In Cloud, we noticed that the Excel Migration jobs using standard IFS API Methods create a new projection once we update the job and click ‘Re-generate Excel Migration’ option. Granting the projection to the relevant Permission Set allows user to execute the job successfully in Excel.However, the same doesn't happen when we modify Excel Migration Jobs using Custom API Methods as no new Projection appears after clicking Re-generate Excel Migration.When the user tries to run the migration, the attached error occurs:We confirmed the same error for two other Custom API based Excel Mig Jobs.Product Version: 23.1.11

Now I have noticed that the Select does not show any data on many VIEWS, although data is available there according to the IFS quick report.CUSTOMER_INFO: works fine PURCHASE_ORDER: no Data In IFS-Quickreport i can select all Purchase Orders ! Is there a reason and solution so that I can see data from all VIEWS that I select via Qracle SQL Developer and not just the column names?I have already written the IFSAPP in front of the VIEW names.Thanks for your helpGreetingsMarkus

Hello community, I am trying to complete an Excel Migration Job, and once I go to validate/execute the job, I keep facing a very strange issue:When we enter our parameter (SITE1) into the contract field, the migration job doesn't recognize the input. That being said, when we enter SITE2 (another parameter of ours) into the contract field, we get an error that we don't have access to the site - that tells me that the migration job is able to read the field but cannot recognize either SITE1 or SITE9 as being valid. SITE1 is used for most of the objects, and this same result column error appears for creating new objects or validating existing ones, even if nothing is changed on them. This proves the tool recognizes the field The Migration Job (ignore the Note text). I also tried changing the flag attributes of Contract to MIU (for mandatory), but still no good.

When migrating project, I want to make use of the Project ID Generation Rules. I leave the project ID in the migrate source job blank, category 1 is filled, Generation rules have been set up for given category 1. All other values are catch all.Still nothing happens when running the migration. So I was wondering which API to call to set the api in the defaul value of the project id, so it would generate the id when migration job runs.Anyone an idea which api to call? I would prefer to know the parameters as well, although less important for now.BTW: rule works perfect when entering a project via the project definition form

My Basic Data Container in Data Migration Manager is saying that these 5 records for countries are in a “Not Deployed” Deploy Status state…  Yet, if I go to the Deployment Container for the same Target Table (ISO_COUNTRY) my 5 rows are in either Deployed With Commit or Deployed state. Why is the discrepancy between the Basic Data Container and Deployment Container Statuses? is this a bug in the User Interface?

Hi,In Apps 9 whilst using Data Migration Jobs, users were able to delete records after loading data from spreadsheet and before migrating the records into IFS.However, in IFS Cloud (23.1.11) there seems to be no option to delete records like the ones highlighted below:Users need this ability to review and delete records before migrating them into IFS.Is this a case of missing functionality in Cloud that will be added in future updates?

 I am creating an Excel Migration job that will set hundreds of Requisition Authorisation Rules to ‘Planned’.This is very much like the topic I raised and got a very good answer that worked well: Excel Migration - Delete User Sites | IFS Community. On this occasion the same principles are not working for me.Here is the job...For the Action on Seq 10 I have toggled InLoop and NoExecution.For Seq 20, I set these attributes…My source mapping looks like this - I allowed the default Source Columns and assume I don’t need to do anything with the first 4 Method columns…Having tried many variations, the latest result is set to null upon execution…In the debug Trace, I see this error…It looks like it is trying to grab every column and insert the values into the Attr_ variable.I’m out of ideas now

Trying to use an External File to migrate a Trial Balance (GL Transactions) from the legacy system to the new Cloud IFS solution.  File conforms to the STDVOU template with semi-colon separated values all matching the individual fields.  We have several different IFS Cloud environments at the moment (since we are in Implementation Phase), but none of them accepts an STDVOU type file and fails with the following Oracle error message:ORA-20115: ExtLoadIdStorage.The "Ext Load Id Storage" has already been removed by another user.Anyone got any ideas?…  we have already been successful in loading External Files using different Templates (ExtFAObjectImport for example), so doesn’t seem to be a generic issue with the environment as such...
