Hello,

Has anyone enabled Near-Zero Downtime in their IFS Cloud environments yet?

We’re moving to 26R1 and have already uplifted our customizations to support the new framework. However, when we raised a case with IFS, we were informed that they’re currently unable to enable Near-Zero Downtime for us.

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has already enabled it:

  • Have you experienced any issues so far?
  • How long does a typical delivery take?
  • What kind of downtime are you seeing in practice?
  • Has anyone had a delivery where the application didn’t go down at all?

Any real-world experience or lessons learned would be really helpful. IFS documentation mentions that Delivery Continuity is currently under controlled rollout, so I’m particularly interested in hearing from customers/partners who already have it enabled.

Our organization has also wanted to move towards NZD (Online Deployment) by the time 26R2 comes out later this month. We’re currently on 25R2 (moving to SU11, specifically).

I have continued to make progress towards addressing NZD compliance issues, but each Service Update brings new issues to work through. Our latest one is actually from a disabled IFS Core module!

 

There were 3 non-editionable objects that have been removed or changed during the apply step. Such changes are not allowed for NZD compatible deployments:

| TABLE COLUMN | FAI_RPT.CONFORMANCE_NO => Changed from VARCHAR2(30) to VARCHAR2(200)                                                                                   |
| TABLE COLUMN | FAI_RPT.CUSTOMER_APPROVAL => Changed from VARCHAR2(10) to VARCHAR2(20)                                                                                 |
| TABLE COLUMN | FAI_RPT.REVIEWED_BY => Changed from VARCHAR2(4) to VARCHAR2(20)                                                                                        |

Our organization does have some customizations that needed to be adjusted, which we have done, but IFS core isn’t yet there apparently.
