Hi All, Apps10: Is there a way to customize the landing page so when navigating to that URL, IEE client is launched? i.e. when navigating to https://myserver:48080, IEE client should be launched and login screen shown straight away. also can we can drop certain items and add others? All of this should be done on cloud environments using configuration, so legal stuff only pls people :) found help under F1 Development guide but that does not say how to do it on a deployed environment. we can edit ifs_home\instance\MyInstance\www-root\index.html but is that legal? would it be overwritten? how can we get it done on the hosted environment? any help much appreciated TIA

As of March 31, 2020, Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 will no longer be supported. Do we support TLS 1.2 for APP8 version? customer is in Apps8 SP1 F1 SP2 resource : https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033350851-End-of-Life-for-TLS-1-0-1-1-#:~:targetText=Answer%3A%20TLS%201.0%20and%201.1,to%20officially%20deprecate%20both%20protocols.

Hi! Have any one have any input how to solve automated user creation? I know there's is the AD sync, but haven't tried this yet, how is for example the HR Module solved? Thinking of when users move between departments or roles, also if there are any input on the Maintenance side work order reassignment? We are in the O&G and offshore personnel are changing position very often. All this in Apps10 /Karl

Is it possible to use both Single-sign on and Database Authentication at the same time for a user? If I look at the screenshot below I would expect I’m able to login via both SSO and Database Authentication. This is however not working.

Hi We would like to have all users to logon to EE without first start application with shift and there enable SSO. Did try to find if there is a reg or file written, but no luck. Anyone know where this SSO settings resides on the local client ? /Karl

Good afternoon, Does anyone know what expression should be used in the Custom option for scheduling tasks, when you want a task to execute for example every 30 minutes Monday-Friday (Not Sat/Sunday)? Essentially need to combine the weekly and interval options! Any working example would be appreciated Regards Shaun

Custom menus have several features/methods.two of Them are user method and state machine. can anyone tell me what they are for and how they are used? I did check the IFS documentation but honestly it was not very detailed or useful for these two types of method.

Hi All, Is there any documents to read about the future of IFS integrations and the support for Access providers (.Net Java) and basic authentication? In the Idea wall discussion https://ideawall.ifsworld.com/ideas/5c5daba2b0114c0d53ca1e1a it was said that the Activities as well as Access Providers will be deprecated in future releases but not said when and how. It’s better to have more information on this since the integrations we design today should be future proof with upgrades.

After enabling ADFS, Aurena is working as expected but Enterprise Explorer is not working. User logon to EE get a Bad Request 400 and detail log showing this: Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.Interactive.FndLoginDialog.AuthenticateCredentials(FndLoginCredentials loginCreds) ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. Debugging network traffic will not give any clue what's happening, not even Fiddler will give you anything. To see whats happening on the middleware, change the log level to Trace Enabling trace log on the HTTP server, logon to the Server Admin Console and change: On the middleware server go to the following directory [instance home]\wls_domain\[instance]\servers\HttpServer1\logs open httpserver1.logs the following will be showed, simplest to search for this AH00561: Request header exceeds LimitRequestFieldSize: AuthorizationAH00567: request failed: error reading the headers This error is due to that the user is a member of a large set of Ac

Is there a limit to concurrent connections that can be operated by the fndext/soapgateway in IFS MWS Apps9? We see occasional network errors thrown by application logic in PLSQL that uses the PLSQLAP to communicate and call an activity in IFS MWS. It fails with message UTL_HTTP_ERRORS: Network error code 2, while communicating with application server. So it is not an unreachable issue (UTL_HTTP_DOWN). Any idea where we can trace this error? a log file to look at perhaps?

Is there a way to produce a list of current IFS Users as well as disabled accounts showing when the accounts were created and disabled? This is a SOX evidence requirement for our auditors. FND_USER doesn't hold any such dates; it just lists whether account is active or inactive. We use Single Sign-on, so no Oracle database accounts will be associated. Any ideas or suggestions

The Art of Indexing In an online transactional database, administrators tend to avoid adding indexes because of their impact to inserts and updates. This is true in a laboratory setting, but a real-world system has to deal with a collection of concurrent workloads. OLTP ERP systems tend to be very read-heavy, in the neighborhood of 94% in my experience. Reducing the aggregate read load can free system resources, and if that means getting the system out of a heavily-loaded state, intelligently adding indexes can indirectly (and paradoxically) improve real-world write performance. Your mileage may vary. I recommend iteratively measuring the effects of tuning your own system rather than following any given recipe. "Match Case" Oracle string comparisons are case-sensitive, unlike Microsoft SQL or MySQL. This means the query hints in Enterprise Explorer do not accurately reflect the effects of the "Match Case" flag, since extra work is necessary to scrub the table's values to uppercase firs

Is it possible to add more objects to the object connections on a Non Conformance Report (NCR)? We would like to add the shipment to the pre-defined list available in IFS.

Somewhere in IFS 10, each window knows which table or view it’s based on. And, the navigator knows what to display in it’s list and which window to display when the user clicks an item. How do I get a list of all the windows named in the navigator, the tables or views they’re based on, and their Object relations? For instance, someone created a custom menu in window “frmPriceInquiryAnswer” and I need to verify it works (for migration to IFS 10). Searching the navigator for something like that gets me to “Price Query” and it doesn’t have a custom menu. Multiply this by a list of 300 custom menus, and you see my problem. In advance, thanks so very much!

I see that UPD6 is out now. Anyone running this and can recommend going forward installing it? We are on UPD5 now. https://open.ifsworld.com/mediashare/mediapage.aspx?entityId=12137 Heard something of some bugs and unstable things in UPD6. This was due to some design change, I heard. Anyone knows more about this?

Good afternoon, Is anyone able to provide the database views/tables for those areas of the IFS system which are not visible through the System Info tab? These typically are screens within the Solution Manager folder. For example, Database tasks, Scheduled Database Tasks, Background Jobs etc. We are using Apps 8. Thanks in advance Regards Shaun

Pros and Cons of executing cache refresh in-app or native in Oracle. Results appear the same however are there advantages.

I am trying to set up a couple of permission sets related to the entering and processing a corrective action. We’ll have one group that will only initiate the capa and enter the Investigation Data. I need to be able to restrict them from completing the subsequent steps (enter action data, verification data etc..). This looks pretty clear in the permission set, under frmNcrCapaActionsMain\Actions, there are 4 distinct options one for each step. I only have the “Enter Investigation Data” one checked for this permission set. However when testing, a user with this permission set has all of steps available. If I go deeper and look at the Presentation Objects by Component the options for “Enter Action Data” etc. are not granted but the Database Objects for each of the steps are the same (NCR_CORRECTIVE_ACTION_LINE, NCR_CORRECTIVE_ACTION_LINE_API) so they are granted. Is there any way to limit the access to specific steps? It seems as this should be possible so hopefully I’m just missing it.

We are on App8 SP1+. We have some documents that require special handling if they are printed out. I can indicate which documents require this using a field on the document revision. These documents can be Word, Excel or pdf. Ideally I would like to have a cover page printed automatically anytime someone prints one of these documents. The cover page would always be the same. As an example it might say “Confidential Do Not Distribute”. Any ideas on how to accomplish this or other suggestions to accomplish something similar. Phil

There must be a smarter way then browsing the permission set details and clicking all branches in the tree ...

A week ago, I successfully installed UPD5 to Apps 10 in my DEV environment with only one error reported in the installer.log and no errors reported in the IFSDEV10_configuration.log. Yesterday, I ran the UPD5 against my MGR environment and it reported a “partial Failure” with the following error in IFSMGR10_configuration.log 2019-10-17 17:51:59 Running ant script E:\ifs\mws\ifsmgr10\repository\server\install_fndmws.xml, target post for component server [java]: Java Result: 1 Error in Ant-script: server\install_fndmws.xml Reported error is: The following error occurred while executing this line: E:\ifs\mws\ifsmgr10\repository\server\install_fndmws.xml:237: Failed to install Middelware Server!

Is there a smarter way to grant permission to database objects besides doing a rmb on 200 folders one-by-one?

In IFS Middleware Server Admin Console page all the services are in GREEN state but Http Servers which higlited in RED is in ORANGE state. What is the meaning of this difference, to overcome this issue what is the action need to perform. Is anyone of you faced issue similer to this, If YES please advise way to resolve. Common Tab→ HTTP Servers →If we select the option, it is in loading state and page went greay-out. Regards, Vivek NR.

Hi, does anyone know how to reach and edit the New Document Page in Page Designer? It seems to be a global Page, and i can’t find it. We want to hide the yellow part in the screenshot below.

Does the IFS client (we are Apps 9) use the JAVA runtime (JRE) environment? If so are we required to license it? This question has come up with the announcement of the JRE licensing requirements that were announced earlier this year.
