Document Management (DocMan)

Good morning,our design department is currently ending its process within creating DOP structure and release of DOP orders.Within DOP header, they usually attach the documents like drawings, specifications, data sheets necessary for production or purchasing to process. Can somebody advise on how to set up the object connection in a way that all documents from DOP header are transferred for all shop orders / purchase requisitions? Or is there a way to define which ones are just to the shop orders and which ones to the purchase requisitions? I am not having any luck in this regard. Thank you,Best RegardsPetaKu

It is not possible to override the default value for SYSCFG_SOX_LOG_EXPIRE_DAYS (Edm File Op Announce) - how long a log entry will remain before it is deleted.Is there a way to override this default value? Is there a parameter somewhere that will enable this override?We have a requirement to store information for a very long time for a specific document type.We can of course change the standard value to 9999, but that would affect all documents and the table would fill up quite quickly.

Hi Docman experts,Scenario.When attaching a document to a ‘Supplier Request’ using Attachments and then options ‘Attach Existing’ or ‘New Document’ , I would like to show only 3 Document Classes to End Users so that they can only select from those 3 Document Classes.How can I achieve this using existing Docman functionality?As you can see in the screenshot, End-user can see multiple document classes.I tried ‘Document Defaults per Object’ by defining the LU name but it only defaults the Document Class when creating a new document and it does not filter/restrict document classes.  

Hi Docman experts,I am facing an issue where I am unable to open a short cut that I attached to the docman revision. This file is located in a share location and I have the access for the location. Here is the set up,EDM basic data I have created a lnk file for a shared location original file.I was able to successfully attach the document to document revision. But When I view the file its getting downloaded even to the same machine, but it appears as below but I cannot select the lnk file now and open that main file.

how/where to view all approvals history in Cloud? In IFS10, we can find it from attached screen 

We are testing some document macros in Cloud 24R2 UPD2 and we are getting the below error when trying to check-in documents in Document Revisions while IFS Aurena Agent Chrome extension is active. Note that there are no errors when checking-out documents.  The same error occurs for all document classes while the Chrome extension is active and no errors when the Chrome extension is disabled.Has anyone experienced a similar error and found a solution?  

In IFS Cloud 24R1, when we create a Work Order/Work Task for B2B and attach the document in Work Task and assign to contractor, in B2B Login Document count is shown but not the attached Document details. any settings is missed ?Note: once we attach the document from B2B we can see the document in IFS Cloud Work Task.  

We’re working with a client who is currently using Apps 8. Within their document management solution today whenever anyone approves a document the system creates a “Pop Up” message asking them to confirm that they really do want to approve this document. The client wants similar functionality in IFS Cloud which they insist is standard in Apps 8 I can find no way of setting this up within the system and have proposed that setting up the “Security Checkpoint Required” at the Approval Step level will provide a similar degree of confirmation of intent, but is there any way of providing this confirmation “Pop Up” prompt out of the box in Cloud

HiCustomer is using File Storage in IFS Cloud. There are currently two application messages on failed status with error message:" ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Exception while sending data Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.http.InternalServerErrorException: InternalServerErrorException: 500#{"error":{"code":"ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR","message":"An internal server error occurred.

Hi All, I'm currently working on an investigation related to the media files migration via the Azure FSS. I have the below doubts that are quite tedious to solve. Much appreciated if your expertise could be shared on this.    When the Transfer Media process is run, the MEDIA_OBJECT column in the MEDIA_ITEM_TAB is set to NULL as expected however the UPLOAD_PICTURE_DATA column in the JT_TASK_SURVEY_ANSWER_TAB remains as NOT NULL. Should the UPLOAD_PICTURE_DATA column also become NULL after the transfer otherwise the table will continue to grow? As can be seen below it is already consuming ~1.5TB. If the UPLOAD_PICTURE_DATA column data is removed will this have any impact on the future interface which will extract the media files from the FSS storage and move to a 3rd party solution (Amazon S3)? 

 We send customer invoice to E-Invoice portal through service provider.Then we get a unique number/QR code and the invoice layout is produced by service provider out side IFS.Then the service provide will send us back the Original Invoice pdf.Is there a way to check in a that document to customer invoice object in IFS ?

Hi all,Users should not have access to the document revision page, but only to the document detail page here: However, the problem is that the link here in the document attachments always refers to the document revision page. Is it possible to set/change this somewhere so that this link button goes to the document details page? Thanks, Mike

Hi All, I’m currently working on an investigation regarding a corrupted file. The customer in question is from the Oil and Gas sector, and the Replication module is enabled in their system. This particular document has been uploaded across several off-shore environments as well.In those off-shore environments, the document can be downloaded and viewed without any issues. However, when the same document is downloaded from the PROD environment and opened using Microsoft Word, the following error is encountered:- I attempted to use Microsoft Word’s "Open and Repair" recovery option, but the document still throws an irrecoverable e

I write to ask some questions about the IFS file previewer for attachments. The ability to use the file preview is denoted by the presence of an icon shared like an Eye.I believe, if a user has permission to view the attachment in question, then they would see the 'eye' if the attachment in question is a supported file type.Please could I ask the following, and please could I ask if the answers to the following could potentially be summarised and published as an IFS KB article since I think this information would be useful to any IFS customer.1) Can a table be provided of which file types can be viewed via the IFS file previewer?If support for previewing of a particular file type was introduced in a particular version of IFS, could a note be included stating from which version of IFS this support was introduc

Hi Heroes,Just wondering is it possible to do a search for a word /expression inside the document body itself not just by document title ? Thanks Nadine

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 w

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?

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
