Document Management (DocMan)

Are there any plans to support FTPS in Docman?Our company is very keen on having secure traffic to the ftp-server and do not want to have un-encrypted connection to it, not even from the application server to the ftp-server.

Hi,Is there a smart way to add people to these groups, or do we have to add them one by one? BrLinda 

Dear community,I’d like to know, if in DMS, we can manage different languages for the same doc_class / doc_no / doc_rev / doc_sheet ?Our need is to have one document available in many languages.I know that for the doc templates, we can have a different template based on the language and so, I thought that we could have such a flexibility behind a document revision…We are using the version 8 but migrating to Cloud 22R2Thanks for your help

Version 22.1.1Is there any method to connect multiple existing document revisions to one business object at the same time?Example: At the Change Request, using the Attach Existing command, can a User find and select multiple records? Or is this a one-by-one process?

Hi  On Document Class Management there are Document Default Values that list “Create New Document Wizard”  as one of the options.Does anyone know how you create a new Wizard so some of the Description Fields can be filed in when a certain Doc Class file is attached.  ThanksMark

We have a customer who are upgrading from IFS APPS 8  to IFS Cloud and would like to move their Documents (2TB worth of data) from their external storage into the IFS Cloud FS.The challenge for us is how do we make these documents accessible to MPX in IFS Cloud (Application) where the documents are stored in Azure BLOBS that are only accessible via the application with no direct access routes.  We need an effective way of migrating/importing the documents from the FTP into the storage ( via the application) or any other way. This is critical to the upgrade so will need to be done. After investigating and checking other community posts , we’ve received the following suggestion, which answers how to migrate the Documents but would not be acceptable to the customer given the size of the DB. We have a migration tool for copying data from an Apps 8/9/10 database to IFS Cloud File Storage ("FS"). It's documented here: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/020_lifecycle/100_file_storage_service/

We’re currently upgrading, and for DocMan, we’d like to move away from FTP and start using SMB. Our new application on version 22R1SU3 isn’t working with DocMan over a UNC share. We’re a Windows shop, and we have our Linux middleware segregated off into its own network so we can properly treat it like a black box. What port do we need to open for the middleware to talk to the file server? Is it enough to just open 445? I used telnet to confirm the middleware host can see port 445 on the file server. Can I do any further checking to see if the containers can see the port? From EDM Basic, I tried the hostname and the IP address, and neither worked, but nevertheless, is there a way to confirm DNS is working? I would much prefer to use human-readable hostnames. For a UNC path, can you confirm which //direction \\the //slashes \\ought //to \\go? The username is on our domain. What should the format look like, e.g. acme.com\coyote or coyote@acme.com? Are there restrictions on the characters

If a user wants to view a document, the following message box is shown:Is there an option somewhere to change the default on this message box without coding? So Name Files Using will default have the Original File Name ticked iso Document Title an Name?

Would it be possible to setup interface between MS Teams and IFS.Documents shared in Teams will be uploaded into Document management in IFS, connect to project.

Hi, Why are there both VIEW and ORIGINAL on the pdf? "Create Documents" only creates an ORIGINAL file. "Document revision" creates both files. These are two pointers to the same file. Why do we sometimes have to have two? When only one original file shows up, is it an error? Or is it a bug when there are two? BrLinda

Community, in IFS, wondering where I could have a report or window to show the object approval status - either approval in progress or fully approved?we are in APP10, UPD9. Thank you. 

Dear IFS CommunityI would like to know if there is any way to automatize the process of starting an approval of a document set as “Preliminary” (first image below) when an approval template has been identified in “Document class management” (second image below). Is there any standard management or someone has already implemented a custom event about it?  Best regards,  Laura
