We are upgrading to cloud and we read a community post that hinted that IFS was making customer change their app owner names from a custom name defined in the interface to IFSAPP. Is this true? If not is this “recommended”? Does IFS support have a standard document that would guide us in the right direction in making a decision?

Our technical resource said that when he was running the pre-scripts that he was able to modify them to account for our custom app owner name. If it helps we are going to be a remote installation (on-prem).

 

 

Hi,

It still works to alter the schema name. But it is in a deprecation period.

From define.tem:

-- The name of the application owner
DEFINE APPLICATION_OWNER        = IFSAPP
-- Altering usernames (schema) will in the future be deprecated, so use defaults 

 

I would suggest you try pretty hard align to using IFSAPP as most installation/upgrade tests within RnD are made using IFSAPP. If you ever decide to move over to IFS cloud service the default schema name is mandatory i think.
