Question from customer.Does IFS Cloud 22R2 support ‘V4 Sign Authentication method’?

Allow users to add new data sources in IFS Report Studio (for standard reports) :I have noticed that QuickSights reports can be based on custom data sources (Query Designer), but this is not possible for standard reports.This would eliminate the need for custom development using IFS Developer Studio

We have a super user within the business who needs the ability to view all background jobs but is currently restricted to seeing only the jobs they have submitted.We understand that granting the ADMINISTRATOR system privilege would allow them to access all background jobs; however, this would also provide them with excessive privileges.Is there an alternative way to grant them visibility of all background jobs without assigning full admin access? We are aware of the workaround involving IAL creation and Quick Reports, but aside from that, are there any other possible solutions that do not require customization?

Hello, We added history log on some tables, by default the retention period is 30 days. We would like to have a history log of 30*12*12 on this table, but how to achieve this ? <?xml version="1.0"?><HISTORY_LOG_CONFIG_EXPORT> <ENTITY_TYPE> <LU_NAME>FndUser</LU_NAME> <TABLE_NAME>FND_USER_TAB</TABLE_NAME> <AUTOMATIC_CLEANUP>FALSE</AUTOMATIC_CLEANUP> <DAYS_TO_KEEP>30</DAYS_TO_KEEP> <ATTRIBUTE> <ATTRIBUTE_ROW> <NAME>ACTIVE</NAME> <LOG_INSERT>TRUE</LOG_INSERT> <LOG_UPDATE>TRUE</LOG_UPDATE> <LOG_DELETE>TRUE</LOG_DELETE> </ATTRIBUTE_ROW> <ATTRIBUTE_ROW> <NAME>CREATED</NAME> <LOG_INSERT>TRUE</LOG_INSERT> <LOG_UPDATE>TRUE</LOG_UPDATE> <LOG_DELETE>TRUE</LOG_DELETE> </ATTRIBUTE_ROW> <ATTRIBUTE_ROW> &

Hello, We’re currently working through our upgrade from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud and our biggest pain point is really the IFS Cloud support for Crystal Reports. In Apps 10 we have a lot of custom right-mouse button menus to print reports (quick and operational). These RMBs also pass variables. It does not appear that this functionality is really there in IFS Cloud. This greatly diminishes our customer experience. I know that Arcwide has a potential solution out there, I just wanted to see what others were doing to achieve this. We can’t be the only customer feeling this. IFS VOICE OF CUSTOMER - this sucks and we hate it. Find a way to work with SAP and give us a long term solution. Crystal Reports has been a staple of the business world for a reason. We are accustomed to this functionality and want to keep it! Any help is greatly appreciated!Mike  

I’m testing new 25R1 functionality “Data Access Control” and creating a simple ACL that prevents users from modifying specific records in an Entity (in my case in AbcClass).I’m able to set condition on attribute AbcClass and that prevent ALL users from editing record for Class A but I want to add condition that some users (or user groups) are allowed to do that.So - I’m trying to use “Predefined Parameters” SESSION_USER and SESSION_USER_IN_GROUPS but in that case, “Save” button is not activated for some reason.Question is how those “Predefined Parameters” can be used? Is anyone managed to use those “Predefined Parameters”?This is hor ACL Designer looks like (“Save” is not active): 

Is it possible to use API calls such as ‘User_Access_API.Get_User_Current_Person_Id’ in ACL conditions instead of hardcoded values?I want to filter records where CF_C_Pm matches the logged-in user's person ID.CF$_C_PM = User_Access_API.Get_User_Current_Person_IdIs there a way to use API calls to retrieve values within ACL conditions? 

In the Technical Documentation for before and after commands, it says that The CrudOperation variable can be used to get the operation (create, update or delete). Can we use the CrudOperation and only have something execute upon ‘update’?For example: @Overridelist ItemsList for ContractItem {   crudactions {      before command CContractItemValidation;   }} and then command CContractItemValidation for ContractItem {   mode = SelectedRecords;   variable CContractItemString Text;   variable CValidation Boolean;   bulkexecute {      if [CrudOperation = "update"] {         stringify(records, "DATA", JSON) into CContractItemString;         call CValidateContractItems(CContractItemString) into CValidation;      }   }} Anybody came across this kind of scenario?Where you have to validate the updates done to multiple records before being saved.

In 25R2 there is information about RPT tables being phased out. Changes to IFS Operational Reporting Operational Reports (RDF) reports had an associated _RPT table, which should no longer be used. Therefore, RDF reports should be uplifted so that they are correctly reflected in the model and that the _RPT table is not used. I have scenarios where I reach to those tables to provide external reports (as a SQL query against _RPT tables).The user runs the report in IFS, provides the report key as a parameter to my own report.This allows me to avoid replicating the logic of the operational report just so I can use data for my own needs. I am sure I am not the only one who uses this trick. Has anybody found a viable alternative that would work in this scenario? 

We are currently using IEE in Apps 10, what is the BEST approach for the next upgrade?Go to Aurena in Apps 10, before the next upgrade?  or do Aurena during the next upgrade?If we do it in Apps10, what will we save in terms of percentage of rework. Also, is there any downside in implementing Aurena in Apps10? For eg: we will lose functionality etc.

Hi Community,It is noted that, from IFS in any page, there are POST calls being sent to www.fullstory.com.This has been seen in different customer environments where no customizations present. Even in our internal Core enviroronment (25R1) has sending these requests as well. Payload seems to be encrypted, however, sending any data to a 3rd party is concerning. Does anyone know what this is and why this is happening?  Appreciate any input. Thank you./Nimesh

We are currently supporting a customer who is considering the use of the SaaS version of IFS Cloud Services.As part of their requirements, they would like to send emails from scheduled tasks and other background processes.In this context, we would like to confirm whether an SMTP server is provided as part of IFS Cloud Services, either as a standard feature or as an optional service.If SMTP services are not provided by IFS, we would appreciate it if you could share how others have addressed this requirement.Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi All, I would like to invite to take a look at my latest open source project which allows connecting IFS Cloud to Claude desktop.https://github.com/knakit/ifs-mcp-server-local It drives with the concept of ‘skills‘ where you are free to define your own IFS skills for Claude and use them in chat or in co-work. Have a look and let me know your thoughts 😎 Cheers!Damith  

IFS10 - We are summing based on record conditions and if there are no records that meet those conditions the SUM statement does not show as a zero in the lobby but an X. Would be nice to see the zero instead.2 fields getting summed in a lobbywhen no records qualify for the sql statement we just see X.When there are records that qualify we will see the number in the box. Is there a way to get a zero to show instead of the X?

Hi All, In IEE i can choose EVENT_SYS.EVENT_EXECUTE for method name and set the event_id as my new custom event.  In 23R1 its not available.  Is there are another way i can trigger a custom event using a database task? Thanks,Dhanush

HiWe have  Crystal Report layouts to print customer invoices and credits based on the CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP table.  The Crystal Report uses the order_no and other fields to pull in some additional data which we need to include on the printout.We have a credit for a customer which is a credit for a charge, which is associated with a line on the customer order.When we print that credit, the order_no is not populated in the CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP table.We have tried this in both 23R2 and 25R1 with the same results.Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or if there is some specific reason that the data is not populated?Thanks,MMck

We are currently working on our IFS Cloud Upgrade project. So we have installed 25R1SU5 on test environment and 24R2SU9 on our dev.This week we realized that the Web DevTools are no longer working for both environments.I suspect the latest update(s) for MS Edge to be the cause of this problem. The problem manifests itself like this. I open IFS Cloud, active the devtools link. Then I press F12 and I can see the standard network traffic from IFS Cloud and I can also Inspect web page elements.As soon as I activate the IFS Web DevTools there is only the start page shown. No network or trace information:Also the network traffic is no longer recorded and stopped. I cannot inspect page elements anymore and the reload for the page is not working. Is anybody else experiencing this problem and has found a solution?

When we do an Invoice on a Customer Order that has the part it will not add it to the invoice and will only show the Freight charges. It is a Free of Charge item as well. I’ve done a lot of digging and it looks identical to all other Free of Charge items that show up properly in the Invoice report. Is their a toggle or anything I am missing that would get it to appear in the report?

Hi there IFS Community!I have a hopefully interesting issue that I’d like a larger audience in reviewing. I received a request to expose the field CORPORATE_FORM, associated with the CustomerInfo LU on the Customers overview screen (Presentation Object ID tbwCustomerInfoOverview). I can see that there’s the option to make a mandatory field in the Properties > Mandatory tab, but no option to expose it via the column chooser.Is this normal behavior for this overview screen, or would I need to make “dumb” custom read-only fields to expose these fields? Other read-only custom fields are presentable just fine, so it has me a tad puzzled on whether I’m missing something, or need to bite the bullet and make this a “recursive” read-only field.Customers overview aware of Corporate Form field Corporate Form not available in Column Chooser (custom fields available) Thank you everyone for taking the time to review, and look forward to any discussions :)Regards,Randy

Hi IFS Community!Reposting this to the Framework & Experience subforum. Here’s the contents of the original post to the Buying sub-forum:I’ve been tasked with hunting down why a Scheduled Database Task for process Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ keeps ending with a status of ‘Error’. The Error Text field has a notice “This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed. ( Detected by cleanup process at 2025-01-08-23.49.11 )”. I’ve checked out a few other Community posts noting that the Light Cleanup process may be responsible, but the Light Cleanup job was posted / started executing 2 seconds after the time reported in the MRP background job. The last bit of output in the background job is:“Site X MS Calculation for MS parts that have received exploded demand started at 20250108 21:36:24”I’ve checked out the Oracle Alert log and other background jobs executing around the same time that the process was killed, but the only thing that I s

Hi All, I get this error “Cannot find model file” when deploying a fragment file with dependents: Here’s what i tried:I did a codebase search of “PromoActivityLov” but there were no hits in the workspace or the build folder.I looked at the projection svc, client cpi and the metadata docs to see if there were any occurrences there but I couldn't find any.I deleted the entire cache folder of developer studio (AppData\Roaming\DeveloperStudio\18\) and redeployed the fragment but the error is still there. Any other options left to resolve this? because I’m stumped at this point. Any help is appreciated thanks!(FYI, the fragment file is in RMCOM) thanks,/Sayuru

Hello Community,we are experiencing a strange UI behavior in ACL Designer when using the dark theme.The text on this page is displayed in black, which makes the content very hard (almost impossible) to read. This issue seems to be limited to the ACL Designer page only.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?Are there any known workarounds or configuration options, or is switching users to the light theme currently the only solution?We use Application service update: 25.1.5 and Framework service update: 25.1.10Thanks in advance for any insights!  

After upgrading to 25r2 the link to IFS Maintenix is added even if you don’t have the MXCORE module enabled in the solution set. This must be an bug linking to a product that the customer hasen’t got installed or bought.Landing page:Solutio set config  

Hi, As a customer can we use Dev Studio on Apps 10 to create a custom projection which could then be called REST? We need an eTag which is why the Quick Report option is not suitable.Thanks,Matt
