Hello IFS Community, In previous versions of IFS, specifically IFS9 and IFS10, I was able to generate the knownhosts.txt file using a command like the one below: java -cp C:\IFS\jars\ifs-fnd-connect.jar;C:\IFS\jars\jsch-0.2.17.jar ifs.fnd.connect.ftp.SftpClient -CreateKnownHosts=c:\ifs\knownhosts.txt -hostname=vvvvvv -username=vvvvvv -password=vvvvvvv One key difference I’ve noticed now is that, in the past, the paths in the command referenced JAR files located in the IFS Home directory, specifically under the repository folder. However, in IFS Cloud 24 R1, there is no IFS Home directory, and consequently, the repository folder containing these JAR files no longer exists. This creates a challenge because when I attempt to run the same command using -cp, I receive the following error message: When I ran the command code without the -cp I am receiving the error message below. I am following the IFS instructions and have already downloaded the two JAR files mentioned in the documentation.

Hello, In IFS CLOUD 23r1 am using a workflow which will trigger an API call to another system after the NewEmploymentHandling / EmployeeAssistantFinish(Objkey):StructSavedEmployeeDetails is called. This is working but, I’d like to improve it and include data enter into the EmployeeAssistant into the API call to the other system. Any advice? Kind regards, Josh

Hi, Is it possible to pull data from an API call that is being called to used to trigger a workflow? For instance when NewEmploymentHandling.svc/NewEmploymentSet is called take the SavedEmpNo and use it to make another API call within a workflow? Kind regards, Josh

Hi Experts, I have a basic question regarding generating Excel file output from IFS Cloud table data. We’ve already developed a customization that writes the table data into a CSV file using a CLOB and the Plsqlap_Server_API.Post_Outbound_Message method. Now, there’s a new requirement to generate the output in Excel (.xlsx) format instead of CSV. Since I’m still new to IFS Cloud framework and integrations, I’d like to check whether this is achievable through a customization or if there’s a standard out-of-the-box (OOTB) way to handle this. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Some users are receiving an error message “The File Type is not available” when trying to use a certain file type in External File Assistant. I have confirmed that changing to a different permission set resolves this issue, but I have not been able to pinpoint what needs to be granted in the orignial permission set. How can I determine what projection or other grant needs to be added to the permission set to resolve the issue? I have tried using the debugger but the projection listed (ExternalFileAssistantHandling) is not the issue. 11:36:49 INFO - REQUEST method "GET"11:36:49 INFO - REQUEST uri "https://abc.def.com:12345/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ExternalFileAssistantHandling.svc/GetDefaultFileTypeInfo(Company='DHP',FileType='ExtPosPayCheck',ProcessOption=IfsApp.ExternalFileAssistantHandling.ProcessOptionsEnum'Online')?odata-debug=json"11:36:49 INFO - REQUEST protocol "HTTP/1.1"11:36:49 INFO - REQUEST headers {"Host":"abc.def.com:12345","sec-ch-ua":"\"Not_A Brand\";v=\"8\", \

Hello Community We are planning to integrate IFS 24R1 [SU9] with AFAS Payroll ERP. As explained in the following links, we understand it is possible. REST API for developers - AFAS Help Center Rest Apis - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud However, we are looking for an IFS customer who got it done actually done, in order to understand a rough cost estimate [since we need to budget this] and how the technical side was handled [through your IFS partner maybe?] It will be great if you can kindly share your experience. Cheers,Asela

Community, any idea what is the root cause of this error?

Hi everyone. I’m trying to set some default values for the multilevel promotion flow For this four values I have no problem. execution.setVariable('StructureManufacturing', true);execution.setVariable('RoutingManufacturing', true);execution.setVariable('StructureStatus', 'Buildable');execution.setVariable('RoutingStatus', 'Buildable'); But for the date I receive an error. When I use this statement : var now = new java.util.Date();execution.setVariable('EffectiveDate', now); I receive following error The Camunda Attribute EffectiveDate has a type of DATE but the provided value does not match that type. When I use this statement : var sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");var today = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());execution.setVariable("EffectiveDate", today); I receive following error This error happens when the server cannot serialize the data to be sent to the client. What is correct way to set a default value to field of type date?

I tried this in both 23R1 and 24R2 environments with latest version of developer studio. Just trying to override crud_create and initialize a customized variable. Cant find any methods in sublayers. Any idea how to resolve this?

Hello everyone, This is your daily dose of issue. As we can not use a command group to order a report made with business reporter, I chosen to perform the business report generation through API rest calls on a webapp.The business report requires shop order no, release no and sequence no parameters. I went on the order report page to simulate the calls made and replicate those on my webapp.I use an IAM client with this configuration : When I use Postman with this account, no issue, the report is created and filled with data. When I use my webapp with the same account, I have no issue with rest calls (HTTP 2xx) , recovering data in responses to build next calls, everything look fine.But when I download the report, this one has the same structure, but data is empty, cells are not filled. Here is PHP source code of prototype : https://pastebin.com/bUf4XuMt

Hi, Version: 24R2 This example is for Maintenance (EAM) area. I have a customer and business team member is Maintenance Manager. We have given access to below lobbies via Permission Sets to his IFS User. Work Order Management Work Order Closure Management Preventive Maintenance ​​​​​​​All the elements on each of these lobbies are not required. From point of interest only 3-4 elements and even 1 element will suffice the requirement from each lobby. So we have added the individual elements from these 3 lobbies mentioned above on the home page of the Maintenance Manager’s login ID. Issue: All the lobby element parameters are not appearing on the home page due to which the data is not appearing. Please refer screenshot, the lobby element parameters for last two elements (Link List) highlighted parameters are missing due to which data is not appearing and if we click on the link it shows that parameters are missing required for that element. Any additional setups or solution available for t

Hi All, We have a requirement where we need to create a new button in IFS page, let’s say Work Order. When user click on the button, we need to send an email. This email should contain some information from Work Order page and also it should have the attachments ( docs and media) connected to that work order. Is this possible via BPA flow? I was able to send the email but having hard time attaching the documents and media. IFS Cloud 24R2

My Default value for my custom field (check box) has stopped populating for new records. My custom field: Persistent Boolean Value Enum (TRUE or FALSE boolean) I set the Default Value to FALSE For every new record that was created, my custom field had the check box default to FALSE, but it just recently it stopped working. Anybody having the same issue? We did not do any major updates or changes to to the environment or the custom field.

Hello Community, I have a question regarding the behavior of default values in IFS custom fields. I have created a new custom field and set its default value to True in IFS Apps 10 (Version 15). This works as expected when users have added the field to their screen via the column chooser. However, for users who have not added the field to their screen, the value appears to be null when a new line is added. Is there something I might have missed in the configuration? Or could you suggest a way to ensure that the default value is applied for all new entries, regardless of whether the field is visible on the screen? Appreciate your help! Regards.Aravinda

Usually, the end users (our customers) are using IFS on multiple tabs and windows, to work as efficiently as possible throughout the day.In our previous version, 22R2 SU16, the system stays on the same page if the user has to log in after being inactive and the end user can pick up where they left off.But in our current version, 24R1 SU05, the page resets to the default page, not only in the window where the end user had to log in again, but in all the other open windows as well.Please guide us in understanding this logic in 24R1 that seems to reduce the end users experience and is quite counter productive for an ERP system

code part values page contains 8 tabs I need to grant access to x users on EMP ID tab only. how I can do this.

Hello, Is there anyway to add page specific thousand seperator on IFS CLOUD ? The setting I'm looking for is not under Account Settings > Currency Formatting Options > Use Grouping (Enabled). For example, a user wants to manually create a shop order with a very large lot size. After saving the shop order, the user wants to verify that he/she has entered the correct quantity. Or, when creating a configuration, a large number might need to be entered for a configuration characteristic value. In such cases, the user does not want to create an incorrect configuration due to entering the number incorrectly. Can a setting be made specifically for these pages or scenarios? Or, if not on a page-specific level, is it possible to set a thousands separator setting that is not related to currency formatting for general purposes? Thank You.

Hi, My end goal is to modify an existing report model. I would like to add other fields not found on the original entity/view of the report, but that are related in some way. I’ve gathered that in order to modify existing reports, I have to do it through “core files,” but I dont know how to download/access those core files. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi IFS Community! I’m poking around in some of the %_SYS packages in the Oracle database, trying to determine whether IFS has a procedure for invoking the transmission of a file to an SFTP server through the IFS Connect configuration, akin to the COMMAND_SYS.Mail procedure. Has anyone stumbled across such a thing? This inquiry is applicable for IFS Apps 10 and IFS Cloud, both are on-premise installs. Thanks! Regards, Randy

We just updated our environment to 24.2.4. I tried the syntax of isNew() OR isDirty() but it looks like it only hides the markdown text entry regardless if it meets this condition or not. This is on the Invoice assistant of the Customer Page (CustomerInfo form). See below: ​​ Note: If I changed the Visible condition to just toggle to “true”, it is showing (when no conditions applied). See below: Am I missing something? Or Would there be another syntax to show the Markdown Text for child record (in this case, the Customer Invoice child record). Thanks!
