Hi everyone,

 

This question is in regards to IFS cloud 23R2

We can export custom event headers as .ins files 

Event header export command


The event action on the other hand doesn’t appear to have any export option other than adding to a configuration package.


Can anyone confirm if there is any way to export event actions as .ins files? Coming from IFS 9 we would often use sqlplus to handle deploying events and actions and would like to continue that process if possible. This would be for “Execute Online SQL” events and email type events

 

Thanks,

LEdwards

Hi @Edwards ,

Not sure whether this is helpful but you might be better off moving on to using ACP’s going forward as it would give you some added benefits such as dependency checks, better versioning and even including them in delivery packages when moving items across environments. It also takes away the need to have App owner credentials in hand.

Thanks for the response. Fair enough. Are there any limitations / considerations when using ACPs to watch out for? We will essentially be using them with a large amount of modified custom events upon upgrading from IFS 9 to IFS cloud. Are there any size limitations to your knowledge or anything like that for the amounts of items that can be in a configuration package?

 

If we would go down this route I was hoping to have a configuration package called “Custom events” including all event headers and actions, and just import that ACP. We have about 400 items that would contain between headers and actions.

 

Thanks,

Lavon
