Document Management (DocMan)

A customer of mine (Karachi Shipyards-Pakistan) requests guidance in selecting a FTP server for DOCMAN. Is there any guidelines on specifications of a FTP server? May be on OS, Memory etc. Please share any document you may have on this. Thank you!

 When uploading one or multiple documents with specified document class, can system automatically place these documents into a document folder without manually specifying which folder? This means that document folder has been setup to be mapped to a document class.  Can a user or user group be given access to a Document Folder instead of by Document Class? If yes, once the user logs in, can the user only see the document folder where user has access to?  Can a person/person group see/filter only the document class that user has access to?   Is there a self-service portal for users - with a lobby where they can see only documents, document classes and document folder that user has at least view access?  Is it possible to see how many/what document views/downloads a user has done?  Is it possible to define the validity of user access to a document class/folder by person group instead of by person?  External customer w

Hi,We currently have an issue with one of our FTP servers that we use for DOCMAN so I moved all repositories to the other FTP server we use..I’ve moved all the existing files to the new FTP and created new repository, but now we still can’t view the existing documents so I’m assuming IFS is still looking at the ‘old’ location. Do I need to run the ‘Change Document Repository’ utility so IFS will look at the new location? Thanks,Mick.

Can someone please tell me how can I enable this media attachment option in another window?Example: This is now available in NCR window. I want make it visible in PO window.  Where will these media files be saved in the application? Is it in the same DocMan repository or somewhere else? Thanks in advanceNimesh

Sometimes when I upload large files via IFS DocMan I am getting the above error message. Any way to bypass this?

Hi all,We have a program that takes a single file as input (E.g. dxf). Doing execution it creates some additional files in the same directory.When we attach the files, we can drag them into IFS and it looks like this.The problems is to edit the files again. The program execute on the cur-file, but needs the other 3 files.How can we edit the cur file and download the 3 other files in the process?

Hello allHappy New Year to all of youWe have just switched to IFS Apps10. Now we found the following problem in Document Management - Approval Routing.An Approval Step assigned to a user who is not yet in the access schema of the DocIssue. Now he is automatically added by IFS with view rights in the access schema. If this user now wants to approve his step, the message appears that he is not authorized to approve. I have to give the user admin rights so that he can approve the step.In the Solution Manager the security checkpoints for the approvals are activated. However, they are not selected for DocApprovals.In IFS7.5 the approval could be done with view rights without any problems.Have any of you had the same or a similar experience and what can be done against it?Where can this be configured / set?Thanks for your supportPeter

After we upgraded to IFS10 we are struggling with slowness in our Oracle DB. We haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause of our problems. But very often (5-10 times each week), we see that the CPU goes to 100% and doesn’t let go. Every user in our company are then struggling with slowness when this happens. As an example, saving a time registration can take 3-4 minutes.Today, a restart of the DB server was necessary to get it back to  normal.  We have used the query below to find CPU consuming operations, and have also checked background jobs and DMBS jobs. Nothing special has been running when the problems occur, or at least nothing that helps us to conclude on a specific problem.select s.username, s.inst_id, s.sid, s.serial#, s.status, (select value from gv$sesstat natural join v$statname where name = 'physical reads' and sid=s.sid)disk_reads, (select value from gv$sesstat natural join v$statname

When receiving an Invoice from supplier thorugh EDI we have no picture file included. In IFS External supplier invoice parameters you can tick the option Create Image. System will then create an invoice image based on the received data. This part is working , we can find the invoice image in report archive but is there a way to set system up to automatically check this in to docman to invoice and posting proposal?

Hi all, We have files as large as 10 GB. When we try to create them in IFS,  we get this error after 25 min. It happens on both database and ftp repositories. Any ideas on how to handle this?

Hi all, Is it possible force the users to choose the application when editing a document. The equivalent to windows “open with”?

Hi all, To my understanding the flow from a business opportunity to order is this: Business opportunity → Sales quotation → Customer order However, when looking at existing object connection transformations (apps10) there is this one: Sales_Object_Transform_API.Transf_Order_Line_To_Opp_Line However, it is not working in our setup, and it seems to require that: business_opportunity_line_tab.con_object_type = ‘Customer Order’. Hence, a direct connection. Question: When is the Reference Type in Opportunity Line = ‘Customer Order’?  

Hi, Please can someone tell me where I can find or provide with the the source of the Docman API Tester Tool Project like the one mentionned here DocMan API Tester Tool.   Thanks very much in advance.

Is it possible to make Digital Signature integrate to attached documents through third party application?    

Is it possible to replace physical document file with a new file in Document Revision window, on RMP Delete is available. after delete, upload of new file seems  not available.

One customer that am handling is looking for a quotation to add a “delete” button for NCR. Customer mentions the following:We need to be able to remove incorrectly reported cases from the system (like we do in DocMan). Same goes for CAPA cases, where we also have some test cases that were logged in production environment by mistake. We also need to be able to remove these.The delete option should only be available for our global SuperUsers. Would like some quick suggestions ?
