We are running IFS Apps10 UPD14 and I’m working on IEE Lobby Elements.I’m using a text element to add some additional context info to a lobby and I’m wondering how the “Formatting” section of the Element designer is supposed to work.  I was expecting it to format my text (in this case, center the text plus bold and italics), but it doesn’t seem to do anything.  How is it supposed to work?   

Greetings, IFS community. What is the most efficient way to locate the component to which a view belongs? Any Query? Thank you.JL

Hello,This week started off by users reporting that they could not log into IFS with their network credentials.  I confirmed for both our PROD and TEST environment that was the case.  All app and db servers were running.  I initially rebooted both PROD app and db servers.  This did not resolve any login issues.  Ultimately, I found documentation regarding reconfiguring the LDAP environments which solved the issue.  The question is; what caused this and did it have to do with moving new calendar year?  I’ve seen the reconfiguration steps done in the past, but it was done by our IFS admins at that time and it was not clear to me what caused the issue.  I’m trying to understand the reasoning this happens even though we have the fix.  Thank you. 

Hello,I’ve been asked to grant permission to 6 users to our DEV environment.  I have one user who cannot access IFS DEV while the others don’t have any issues.  Credentials for all users are firstinitiallastname in CAPS for both username and password.  I confirmed the user is listed under our list of users.  The user’s status is set to active.  Users are instructed to log into DEV using specific credentials vs what their PROD credentials.  The DEV credentials do not work.  Is there any other way to test and correct this issue for this 1 user? Thank you. 

Hi all,Currently we are playing around with Aurena on tablets. Samsung Galaxy Tab A8Initially we started Aurena in browsers and we landed on Edge due to the ability to go full screen. Additionally when prompted to add media, the screen popped up with the option to select the camera or to browse folders. Truly amazing!Unfortunately this function does not seem to work anymore, after IT updated the tablets. I only see that this is Android 12 and a bunch of other versions of stuff I do not fully understand.Anyway, I was told in the newest version of Android Samsung has restricted media access (i.o.w. the camera does not open up when using Aurena). Could somebody help me to regain the previous functionality?Additionally could someone tell me if running Aurena this way is advised? Or is there a better/ more stable way?

Hi all,Is it possible to extract all the translations and addresses from  EE. E.g. this one: 

I’m having a bizarre issue.  I’ve made edits to a .views file defining a particular view.  When I choose “Generate Code and Deploy,” the .apv file that gets created has lines of code that are out of order (I numbered the lines).  I’ve put the code in a text editor and there don’t seem to be any strange special characters or anything.  This one has me baffled.  Has this or anything similar ever happened to anyone else?

Hi, I have been struggling for several hours to try using this writeback function in business reporter, but the option still remains grey when i open my report …I am using information source “Project Forecast Item” that is initially setup by default to accept write back functionality, I have put some data in the forecast of my project and I can retrieve these data easily, I have added the write back cell and the mandatory reference cells, no error message, but still the option is grey… Of course i do have admin right on IFS.column G and H that are the ETC and ETA are properly fetched:

Hi,I work in the Management Information Systems Team an I often get asked to write a custom report in SQL based upon the screen that a User is looking at. For example, looking at the Customer Form in IFS Cloud:1. IFS Cloud Web Front End - Customer.pngHow is possible to see which SQL Table is used in that Form? I happen to know the answer to this particular question, it’s CUSTOMER_INFO_TAB:2. SQL Developer Oracle Query.png because it used to be easy to look at the IFS 8 Windows Form - System Info tab for which it tells me uses the CUSTOMER_INFO View and I can explode that to find the CUSTOMER_INFO_TAB Table:3. IFS8 Customer Windows Form - System Info.png How can I most easily find  which SQL Table is behind any Web Form I look at? Thank you in advance.

Hi, have lost access to the supported platform documents on the SharePoint site. Where to find them now?  

Hi,Is it possible to set up a NavigationLink Custom Command in Aurena so that it appears when ticking multiple records? When selecting more than one record the Custom Command disappears.We would like it so when you select multiple records, it navigates to the selected screen and loads all of the selected records. Much like the functionality of the standard IFS ‘Shop Order’ button on the Shop Orders screen above. Thank you.

Hi. Is there a way to disable the default F2 keyboard shortcut functionality (Populate)? We work with huge databases and often use F3 (Query), but one slip of the finger to the left can lock up IFS for many minutes when it tries to fetch the entire database (for example Overview - Transactions History). I know some users went as far as pulling the key from their keyboards 😀, but I’m looking for a more elegant solution.

I am trying to configure the mail sender in Cloud to a SMTP server.  I try sending a report preview to the user email address and in the Application Message out1 queue they are all in “Released” status. Anyone know why or have had a similar experience?  I thought they would either have  showed processing,  finished, or failed if the mail sender was not configured correctly.  TIA

Hi, I have some problems with IFS, dont display  information attached image. Somebody know how to resolve this issue   

Would it be possible to get complex/deep structures in one single ODATA call/response? A simple example would be getting an article from PartCatalog and its linked gtins (PartGtin). In the projection it is possible to use an array to get the PartGtin records, but to get both PartCatalog and PartGtin you need two rest calls.Can I model my projection in a way that I can get the full structure of both PartCatalog and PartGtin by only one call and one response. A similar case would be to get PurchaseOrder and all PurchaseOrderLines for one order, with just one call and one response.This is kind of convenient to use in integrations, when the requesting party want to receive the full structure with just one call

We are doing remote install of IFS CLoud 22R2 SU2in downloaded build-home solutionset.yaml file is not available in installer folder.where can i get the solutionset.yaml file?

Starting IFS Cloud using standard permissions might result in an issue regarding access of certain objects. The log window does not help in this case as it is displaying no information. Only way is to check on the devtools of the browser As the information in the messages does not contain any helpful information. Is there an easier way to trace down issues with permissions while creating complex permission set structures? By now, this is the only known way for me, but it is a lot of investigation and searching for things.Any suggestions on that? Kind regards,Tobias

I want to knwo which environments and touch app servers and touch apps server System IDs a customer has. Where to find those information? There has to be a list where this is stored somehow. Kind regards,Tobias

Dear community!Based on several issues after updates or imports of data or upgrades to another version or somewhere in between you might experience that the background jobs somehow came to a halt. No new jobs are posted even if the schedules are active.That might be due to the fact that the Database Process Batch_SYS.Process_Batch_Schedule_ is missing. It is not very easy to find the proper code to recreate this DB Process. The easier way is as follows:Go to the system parameters and check for the parameter “Scheduled tasks process startup”Switch it from ON to OFF And then back to ON.This will recreate the database process needed and

Hi Docman/Migration gurus!This must be a rather commong question: How can we migrate a larger number of documents into IFS docman? In our case we have PDF contacts that we export from Salesforce along with a reference to the Contract object, which we want to migrate into IFS Cloud (on prem) and connect to the relebvant object. The object connection I guess is no big drama, but… how to get the files into IFS?/Tor@Mathias Dahl  I guess you might have some ideas? 

I’m getting the error “Error while serializing contents” when I attempt to create a new Customer address in one of our Remote nonproduction Cloud upgrade environments.I can’t reproduce this in our DEV environment hosted in the Cloud Build Place, built from the Customer Solution repository.Under Address Setup, I changed the CustomerInfoAddress in the Remote environment so no fields were mandatory, so it matches the CBP DEV environment. This was necessary to reproduce a like-for-like test.I’m using the Aurena client in a web browser, and according to the debug log, it’s sending the exact same payload in the two environments.DEBUG - POST: { url: CustomerHandling.svc/CustomerInfoSet(CustomerId='102333')/CustomerInfoAddresses, etag: null, payload: {"CustomerId":"102333","AddressId":"5","Name":"Hello, World!","DefaultDomain":true,"Country":"US","PartyType":"Customer","InCity":false,"CountryDesc":"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (THE)"}
