Field Service Management (FSM) & Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO)

Hello,We have a scenario with a client that currently they click in a button in their legacy system and they "fetch" for example 1000 tasks and related objects from a shared queue and create them in their own system. Is it possible to do something similar in FSM with Monitor Schedule Jobs and XML maps configuration?This communication is done through FTP communication. Thanks

Hi allI’d be interested if I was missing a setting or this is a bug. Currently FSM does not allow me to post a receiving record, that I received partially. E.g. the shipment in the following example was involving 2 lots from an item and the shipment was posted, which generated a receiving record following an app param and the “In Transit” flag. For some reason, the technician when doing the goods receipt onto his van, realizes that the quantity shipped and the quantity received does not match and changes the quantity.When the receiving is being “processed” on Mobile, this will automatically trigger the receiving post. The server then throws an error message:The following exceptions occured when posting this receipt: The quantity in Lot(s) does not match the quantity.The same error message is thrown from each, WebClient and Mobile Client.

I’m trying to write a client script to be used in the smart client of FSM 6.5.In my Client Script SQL I’m returning two columns.exp_date: Date saved in the DB days_left: Using DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), exp_date) AS days_leftWhen I access these values from my script, days_left is set to type System.String and I need it to be an integer.I have tried changing the SQL to:CAST(DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), exp_date) AS int) AS days_leftbut in my script the variable is still a string so I’m unable compare the value with an integer.Example: if (days_left <= 0) { doesn’t work. The error message will say: The ‘<’ operation cannot be performed between the operands 853 and 0Here is my script so far

Hi All,One of the IFS FSM customers is having following concerns. Could you kindly provide your valuable suggestions.Do you know it could be a problem if we deploy a personal release on an environment that is under a different IFS release? The subject of this question is : - If we generate a package using the "package deployment" feature from a source environment in FSM6U13 ; can we deploy this package on a target environment in FSM6U16 ? (and conversely)Thanks.

Hi, I want to make attachments read only on the mobile device. We are using the new Attachment API screen in FSM6u16.  How can we make the screen reado only, so that the user cannot add any more? Thanks

(FSM 6) We’re making some changes to data visibility in FSM and are trying to set all Tasks to be in the same Access Group as their parent Request - even when the parent Request updates. The predefined business rules for setting Access Groups (67, 70) only fire before insert/update for their associated tables. This means a Request’s Access Group may change and the Task won’t follow it. Those rules seem the only way to change the Access Group of a record in FSM - meaning I can’t just make a custom rule that updates that column. I could make a custom rule that updates a userdef on the child Task when its parent Request is updated to trigger the appropriate predefined rule but that seems hacky. Am I missing a better approach to this or some key understanding of how the rules behave? Would rather write a hacky rule than change how we’re using the fields because that would break some of our reporting, but if I can avoid creating a n

Hello,We are running into an issue where job in completed status is disappearing as technician is switching the job status into completed. We usually see jobs in completed status on the Gantt chart (Purple Color coded) as our tech in the field complete out the job same day as shown below. When the Gantt chart in PSO was Healthy (Current Day): Now this is what we are seeing on the same day. A white/gray line divided throughout the shift on the current day and the job that should be in purple color (Completed status) no longer showing. Any information on how to troubleshoot this would be extremely helpful.Missing Completed Job showing White/Gray lines on the current day.

Hi Team, I have configured mass update button on task table only. It completes successfully as expected and the run log also shows the status complete but on the screen it keeps refreshing but doesnt complete.Update is done on the task table though. Only option I find is to refresh the browser to work on the screen where mass update button is enabled. Is this a product bug or should we check something to make it automatically?Please note that run ID is completed with the results and update on the table is also effective.  Regards,Jithesh

Hello Community, We are trying to get the Resource in PSO using REST API. However, we are getting a "Could not connect" error. What permissions do we need to have to be able to do this GET: [host]/IFSSchedulingRESTfulGateway/api/v1/scheduling/resource? Also, is there a way to update the PSO resource via REST API? In the following link only the GET documentation is available: [host]/IFSSchedulingRESTfulGateway/swagger/ui/index.html Thanks, Bernardo Moura

Doing some mobile IFS6 u16 testing on a emulator, run into a strage issue with Mobile attachments. 1.Assign a task to a device2.Once recieved on the device, go offline3.Add a Task attachment on the device4.On the smart client, complete the task5.On the device, go back online and sync6.Observe on the smart client that the attachment has not synced back, even though all other notes etc do.7.Repeat with a fresh task, but DO NOT complete task on smart client8.Observe that attachment does sync back to smart client It seems after doing some testing, that Attachments on a device DO NOT become persistent records on the device UNTIL it has synced with the smart client.  If the Task on the smart cleint  is complete, then the attachment is simply discarded, if not completed then it does become a persistent record on the mobile device once synced. Any clues why it behaves like this?

The issue is there for the administrator of the default organization. I have tried log into the application from the administrator user and add the relevant views for the missing windows under the permissions from Administrator > Organization > Users > Permissions. But the relevant views were not available under the permissions. Could you please let me know how the screen permissions can be granted in a similar instance where the views are not available for the administrator for the default organization.

Hi all,One of our customers is having an issue of a doubled lobby image when viewed from the web client. They have started facing this issue after UPD13 and is now using UPD15. The issue occurs only with the below image (.jpg) of their Logo and occurs in both Chrome and Edge. They have tried re-adding the image to the image library and creating a new lobby element, but no luck!I checked with the baseline versions but the issue is not there. Is there any parameter/ setting to check from the customer’s side which would possibly be a reason for this behavior?Thanks and Regards,Dulshan​​​​​​​
