Document Management (DocMan)

Hi,I think most Docman users on IFS Cloud or Aurena on Apps 10 have found that things becomes nicer when the Aurena Agent is installed. It enables features that makes the IFS Cloud on par with what we could to on IFS Enterprise Explorer in Apps 10 and earlier.Having said that, the Aurena Agent is not without problems. It needs to be installed, to begin with, and it's "an extra technical thing" that can break.We would like to understand for what purposes our customers decide to install the Aurena Agent.Here's a list of features that becomes possible when it's installed:Deleting local files. This is a good thing for customers that want us to remove a local file after it has been checked in (uploaded) to IFS Cloud. They don't want to have "files lying around." Directly open a downloaded file. Web browsers can open a file that was just downloaded, but it's up to the user to set that up and not something we can control from IFS Cloud. With the Aurena Agent we can make sure it always happen

Hello,We currently store our emails to customers as attachments on case contact log entries. Is there a way in a workflow or event action to open that file, read the data in that email attachment? I just need the exact date the email was sent, which if you open up a .eml file, it saves it on the 3rd line. I’m very new to document management but I thought I’d ask and see if this is possible in IFS Cloud.Thanks,Bryan

Hi, Just want to know whether FileStorage repositories are available with build place environments?.. When trying to test a repository it gives an error. Also, FS Migration tool fails as well.Best Regards,Methshika  

In Apps 10, I have an Approval Routing set up on a Change Request.  I have events set up to notify the next Approver (via Streams Message).  I also want to set up an event to Notify the person who started the Approval Routing when a Step is Rejected.  I have a Streams Message based on the Event STEP_REJECTED_NODOC, but I cannot figure out how to add the originator of the Approval Routing on the Streams Message I can add an individuals name to the To: Field, but multiple people will be creating Change Requests.Is there a way to add some logic in the To field to get the persons name from a field on the Change Request (Example - Created By) and then when the Approval routing is rejected, it will send the stream message to them?

We have lots of old PDF files in the PDF archive screen.Whats the best way to archive these off.Is there an Archive job that will automatically do this.

Hi AllSeeking guidance here. I am setting up an approval template in the document revision and I added a user to approve the document. But this user only granted the DOCUMENT_ATTACHMENT_CLOUD permission set. Once I start the approval, this user can view the document but he cant approve the document and I get below error. I am just thinking do I need to grant any additional permission to these users who are doing document approvals? I dont think we need to grant Doc Admin permission for these approvers as I dont want approvers to see other documents and document revisions.Any suggestions please?Thanks,Chamath

I would like to setup specific Document Classes to go through a default approval by our Document Manager.  We are having trouble with users not selecting a template before submitting. Does this functionality exist?  If not, does anybody have an idea of how I could do a custom event to complete this?

When trying to attach a document we are getting the following errors:Could not update BLOB. Message is: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kcbzib_lobsd_1},[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]We are using IFS apps 10 EE UDP25

I have an Event Action set up for STEP_READY_FOR_APPROVAL to send a Streams message for a Document Revision Approval.First Approval step is to an IndividualSecond Approval step is to a Group When I start the Approval process, the individual receives the Streams message.  When he approves the Step, no one in the group on the second Approval step receives a streams message.  If I change the second Approval step to an individual, they do receive the streams message.I have tested changing the first Approval to the group and started the Approval process and the streams message does not send to anyone in the Group.I have set up the Event Action exactly the same in a different client's environment and the streams notifications work.  Is there some setting needed to send streams to individuals in a Group? This is for IFS App 10.   

The doc class is getting fetched only in the header level when using the drag and drop option to attach files. But when the user manually attaching files by browsing, the doc class gets automatically fetched in both header level and line level.When drag and drop option is used. When manual browsing option is used.Need to know the reason for this difference between two options.

I would like to make a small push for a very nice and simple e-sign functionality that was released in IFS Cloud 23R2. It's more or less zero install and zero setup, you can just start using it once you have bought at least one pack of e-sign transactions. Have a look at this video to see how it works:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aed1j9VOPDUAt the time of writing (the latest release in 23R2 but this will apply to 24R1 as well) this feature is limited to Cloud deployment/residency (Remote/on-premise is not supported).Here's also a screenshot of the main user interface, which is the dialog where the user fills in the recipient information:If you are on IFS Cloud and in Cloud deployment, don't hesitate trying this out.A special SKU is needed, that will grant a pack of esign transactions. The customer does NOT need any Adobe licenses of their own.Is this something that is interesting to you as a customer? 

The Aurena Agent can be downloaded from the Add-ons page in any IFS Cloud installation, like so:In case you don't have access to any IFS Cloud environment, here is a link that allow you to download the latest/current version:https://ifsdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/addon/AurenaAgent/SetupAurenaAgent.msiThe same version will work with Apps 10 Aurena. 

Hello, I have several users who are part of an approval Process attached to Business Opportunities. We have just switched to Cloud and previously they were able to do their approvals with no issues. They are also able to do the approvals in our TEST environment without Issue. However in Prod they make it to the point of the pop-up that asks “Do you want to Approve the Selected step?” they click “Ok” and then get a system permission error. I have looked and compared just about everything under permissions I can and have not turned up anything different. Does anyone have any Ideas or suggestions? 

 I am trying to setup an object connection transformation for the following. The behaviour I am expecting is :1.Attach a document to Object type2.Attached document should be inherited by all the Functional Objects connected to that Object type3.Attached document should be inherited by the Work Order/ Work Tasks created  which are connected to that Functional Object The items 1 & 2 were successful but the item 3 has failed.Should this be a straightforward connection or am I doing something wrong ? 

Hi,When attaching a zip file, the system sometimes creates two files: "ORIGINAL" and "VIEW" in the "FILE REFS" tab in the document revision:The parameterization looks like this:A duplicate entry is visible in the edm_file_tab table. Does anyone know why the system creates "ORIGINAL" in most, and sometimes ‘ORIGINAL’ and ‘VIEW’?Best regards

Hi together,I have a question regarding access not on a sole document, but on a document folder for defined users. So, is it possible to setup access for a user for the whole document folder instead of just setup the access for a sole document itself?Thx and regards, Markus

 Hi everyone,I want to send a PDF file attached in the "Attachments" section of the IFS 10 application to a user via email. Here are the steps I followed, but I was unsuccessful.  Why am I getting this error? What alternative approach can I take? I would appreciate your help. I retrieved the BLOB data of the relevant attachment using the query:SELECT k.file_data FROM edm_file_storage I wrote a function that returns this value.

What is it? The E-sign feature is available from IFS Cloud 23R2 (Cloud deployment only, Remote currently not supported). At its core it's an integration between IFS Document Management ("Docman") and Adobe Acrobat Sign.In order to send a document for signing you need to first upload it to Docman, release it, and attach it to some screen/business object. For details on the process, watch the video linked below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aed1j9VOPDU Agreements/envelopes When you send a document for signing to one or more recipients an "agreement" is created in Adobe Sign. The agreement acts like a container for the document and the list of recipients, and supports the whole flow from sending, signing and retrieving the signed document. As of 24R2, you can only send one document per agreement. An agreement in Adobe Sign is what other E-sign solutions sometimes calls "envelopes."IFS keeps track of every agreement that has been created and, to use a term that's more known and to keep t
