Document Management (DocMan)

Is there a way to get shorter URLs to documents from Aurena?The MS intranet requires less than 250  

Hi,In the Indicators section of the Export License there is “Document Connected” set to default No. After several License creation attempts, Export Controlled documents created, no matter what I tried I couldn’t get that indicator activated and document connected.How could we get document(s) connected to the Export License?Thanks.  

We have defined the follwoing Object Connection Transformation to have a packing slip originally attached to the PO receipt, also shown on the PO line.  We have the follwong scenarios also to be addressed. Can I do it through the Object Connection Transformations? If yes, how? 

Hi,There is a requirement of adding a link in Sharepoint to open a document created in IFS applications. This document is a BR report which is saved as a new revision after running a report schedule. After each schedule, it will create a new revision. So the URL for the latest released revision will be changed each time.Sample URL for a document revisionWithin IFS applications, is there a way to get a static URL(which does not contain a revision no may be) to access the latest released revision always, so that the hyperlink in the Sharepoint will always open the latest released version?Or is there any other way to achieve this?Best Regards,Nisansala

We have a user that when they try to open this file in Aurena, it won’t open. This is the error they are receiving. They can open other documents but not this one and I can open this document so it’s not document format related. They can also open it in IEE, just not in Aurena. This is the only document they’ve come across that won’t open and always gives this error in Aurena. Any troubleshooting steps will help. When extracting the specific errors it’s throwing, there is an error that says “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.” The more puzzling issue is that this is an Adobe file. 

Afternoon all,Creating new documents has suddenly stop working for us - I’m told it was working fine yesterday but today any attempt to create and attach a new document all system areas just hangs (below) If I hover over the Stop button I can see this:Very strange - our Test environment works fine still.Does anyone know which Middleware Service this might be, or Batch Queue in IFS itself, that I can give a kick to solve this ?Apps9 by the way.Regards,Liam

Currently on APP 10 update 17.  Working on our upgrade to IFS Cloud 23 R1Our database is  1.3 TB and the vast majority of that is LOB  documents etc.  It’s growing rapidly.I can do a datapump export in about 2.5 hours but importing is taking about 15.  I knocked it down from 17 hours by tuning and splitting the LOB datafiles onto multiple drives. I’m going to continue work on hardware solutions but I don’t expect that to make any big difference.We are going to remain on premises.  I’m considering moving the LOB storage to an FTP server as aside from the upgrade taking forever I have fears regarding time to do a database restore etc if that was necessary. Wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone had any experience or other ideas  

Note! Use the poll in this page instead: 

Hi  I believe that in Apps9 you can create a Custom Event that forces the Security checkpoint to appear, thus adding an extra level of security. (i.e. forcing the user to input password). This is the same functionality that is standard in DocMan.  Does anyone know how to enable this? i have seen it working in a Shop Order guideline (have screen images) but dont have (access) to the code anymore to see what triggers it.  Any ideas? David.    

Hello,We are using IFS Cloud 23R1.  Does anyone know if it’s possible to send a document transmittal to a customer and have the customer acknowledge they’ve received it?Thank you,Joann

Is there a way to restrict the drop down so that the only document class that can be selected is the document class with xxxIT? This would be only for our 457IT site and not the other sites.  

HI Team  This is related to above post, with help @matt.watters I was able to solve first part of the issue,. But I can noticed even though my default browser is Google chrome, upon saving a document via add-in IFS always trying to start via Microsoft Edge, which promit the security message “Open this file?”I was really couldn’t find in forums how to disable this ( if someone knows it and can let know highly appreciated) , but my question is, do you know why IFS always use Edge browser instead using Default browser in your work station?   @Mathias DahlIs Docman add on have hard coded feature to use Edge browser? kind regardsAmila  

I am a user,  My intern was to enter product data PDFs linked to Sales Parts.   I don’t know the setting but one was wrong so Document Headers were created and attached to Sales Part but there is no PDF associated with the record. The title of the file is recorded in the each header record.  IT says there is no way to complete the attachment automatically. 1600 records.   Any suggestions.

Hi, during workshops in Business Opportunity handling with Customer, I’ve noticed that in window with Document Class selection for attachment, button “New” is available. (Customer environment is IFS Cloud 23.1.1)This button seems not to do anything - when you press it, it just hangs (icons shows rotation, there is no activity in log4javascript). Can someone from RnD maybe have a look at it? This button is available by mistake, some incomplete functionality,  page configuration or something else ? Anybody else had the same issue and found maybe a solution for it ? Steps to reproduce:Go to Business Opportunity (or create a new one) and press “New document” button In Document Class, in LOV press “Find” option Notice the “New” button - press it Notice, that after pressing - the graphic changes to rotation, it stays in this status, there is no reaction from browser or system, nothing is sent. Thanks!Marcin

Hello Everyone Please see below test case Successful installation of   Document Management Office Add-In 64 bit version       2.. Suppose you already logged into IFS EE client from your desired user       3.  Then you go to, for example outlook, select an email with attachment and select the option to save the mail with attachment        Even though you already logged into IFS EE, it launch the Application again and prompt the login dialog box ,      a) Is this the default behavior of the feature? or can we change it to use the already open IFS EE and prompt the docman dialog to attached the document     b) even though google chrome is my default browser , it launch the application ( when you use office add in) via Microsoft edge , is this also as expected. Thanks in advance KrAmila

I changed it to both Admin & Edit access, this did not allow me (an Admin) to delete the document  FS TECH SCAN’s only Access Group assigned does not include my group. When I tried to add another group, I get the same error.Can someone point me in the direction of steps needed to be updated so an admin can delete this document by a user.ThanksHayley

When we originally installed IFS, all document classes were left to the default database.  Since then we have set up a group of shared network folder for the classes.  I am trying to move the original documents off the database to the shared folders.  The Change Document Repository does not seem to function for this as it only shows 2 repositories in Usable status, but not the default DB repository.  I have read through the steps in the Online documentation, but the default repository is not in the drop down list.  Is there a way to move those documents?

Hi,we would like to release documents of a certain document class automatically after the document is created so that it is passed in the arichvsystem. For this purpose I have created an event which executes a SQL script when a new record is created in the EDM_FILE_STORAGE_TAB table. This works for many documents, but for some the error "Document with status Operation In Progress cannot be approved:                    ORA-20105: DocIssue.APPROVECHECKEDOUT1" output.I then already put a break in the script and also attached the event to table EDM_FILE_TAB. All unfortunately without success.What am I doing wrong?Regards André

The "Default Document Class" field on the "File Import" screen is blank when the screen is opened, but is it possible to set a default value?We know it is possible by setting "DOC_CLASS" in the "Document Default" setting, but this will set the same value for all users.We want to set the value for each user.
