Hello,  I have custom menus created in Aurena with method calls from custom packages. When logged in as App Owner, these menus work.  But when logged as a different user, the following error is given. The package is granted the correct access. The projection and the actions are granted access to the permission set the user belong to as well.  ErrorMenu DefinitionHas anyone seen this?

Hi all, We are running PL/SQL Developer on our Windows clients with Oracle Instant Client. When doing so, the packages cannot handle Nordic characters (æøå). I think I have identified the problem as the NLS_LANG value in registry.  I have an old installation that is working. It looks like this:   On Instant Client theses entries does not exists (default is AMERICAN_AMERICAN.US7ASCII). SELECT distinct client_charset FROM v$session_connect_info WHERE sid = sys_context('USERENV','SID'); Anyone know an easy way to change NLS_LANG?  

We currently have the IFS8 version where reports are generated through Crystal Report 2011. My question is whether IFS has a native solution to generate Data Matrix and if not, what better application for acquisition and integration with Crystal Report 2011?   Thank you

When using a custom layout of fields (in particular on a Custom Page), is it possible to control the layout (location and field size) in any way either via database or importable/exportable XML code in any way? Having to line up a lot of fields with the little arrow buttons is pretty time consuming to get fields to all line up and space evenly. I’m hoping there’s a way I can just input pixel values for size and location somehow?

Sometimes we have noticed performance drawbacks due to the value set for the "job queue processes” parameter in the oracle database. What is the correct formula for the set this value correctly and what are the things that need to consider?  

Hello,  I am trying to add 2 custom check boxes to the Project entity (ProjectDefinitionHandling) in Aurena. I am able to add the check boxes. They are both editable and not required. I can press edit and change the value on the check boxes, but when I press save, the change is reverted to the original value.  I tested with adding a new custom field to the project entity and typing a value in. The custom field blanked out when I save the form.  Any thoughts? How is everyone adding custom fields to the project entity in Aurena?

Is there a way in a custom menu to allow a user to be prompted to type in a value that I can subsequently use in the SQL code?

We use permissions sets to specify whether users have none, query or full access to screens, but if for example 10 users in a permission set have full access to a screen, whats the easiest way to only allow 1 of them to update a specific field on that screen?   Thanks, Chris.

Hi, Can someone shed some light about how to get the server resources downloaded for locally installed Touch apps server (for Demo purposes)? In apps 9 there was an option in the customer portal page to check the “Cloud connection status” and if the system is registered most recent resources could be downloaded  but seems that’s no longer available for Apps10. TIA. Regards, Ruchira

Hi   Wondering, we have a field available to us on screen for ‘Supplier Name’ - but when I look in the search box to configure so users can search by name its not available. Is there anything I can do to make this field searchable?? Is there perhaps an SQL expression I can use that will put the sort by name into order?    

Hi all, Can anyone give me a clue as to what this error message is pointing at? It is in response to a LoadInboxMessage process: XMLPARSE_NAME:View name mismatch: SCHEDULES != IN_MESSAGE_REQUEST at [2:1]  I have already submitted a question here about the source of the message but as EDI questions get very few responses, if any, I thought I’d see if anyone can decipher the error message instead, so I apologise for the duplicate posting. Thanks.

Dear fellow IFS users For our production, we created a lobby which shows the current work orders being done. This is displayed on a big TV. When the PC is turned on, this lobby should be opened automatically and displayed in full screen mode / kiosk mode, as it is only for display purposes and doesnt need any user interaction. Is there any possibility to automatically open IFS in full screen / kiosk mode? The PC has no mouse or keyboard connected so this should be automated as far as possible. Many thanks for your inputs on this issue Best regards N.

I have created a custom event for a specific background job if it fails a stream message is sent to user to view the job. I also want user to transfer to background job details page to see the logs for the failures. For this I want to use below address.   ifsapf:frmBackgroundJob?DATA_TRANSFER=%2F%2F4VAEQAZQBmAGUAcgByAGUAZABKAG8AYgAWABYAQwBSAEUAQQBUAEUAXwBXAEkATgBEAE8AVasdasdfasdfsdfadfADABgAasdfsdafdsA3ABYAGQA%3D&COMPANY=XXX   However I am not sure how DATA_TRANSFER string is created by IFS. Below address does not work.   ifsapf:frmBackgroundJob?JOB_ID=1232323&COMPANY=XXX   Any idea how can this be achieved in APPS9?

Hi, I’m trying to send a GET request from IFS 9 with HTTP_SENDER1, and as expected I can’t because the endpoint don’t accept POST. Do you know if it is possible to create a new HTTP_SENDER that uses the GET method? It looks like there could be more than on option in the dropdown. BR KRESTEN

I am working in IFS 10 with rental inventory parts and was wondering if there way to create packages for Rental parts in the same fashion as the Sales parts? This is the ability to group / package a number of inventory parts together with a single selection (i.e. Sound System package with Soundboard, speakers, lights, etc.).

I have known IFS allows Or in the search field using “;” How can end user use NOT IN? Below does not work   Nor does below work!       Any idea without using SQL as this is for end user who is not SQL expert.

When a customized form is deployed and if the form has some entries in the base profile, the customized form is not loading instead the standard form is getting loaded for the user. The same user if we remove the base profile, the user is able to see the customized form. The base profile is not getting updated with the Customized form name. It looks like I have do recreate the profile again for all the customized pages. Is there solution available for this. Thanks & Regards, Siva

Hi, We have a small group of users who require access to the Quick Report screens in IFS as they are responsible for business reporting.  In Apps 8, this is Solution Manager->Reporting->Ad-hoc Reporting Is there a way of just granting them access to these two screens without giving them the Administration system privilege as we don’t want them having access to all the other components in Solution Manager as this poses a risk they could change system config/settings. Please advise on possible solution Many Thanks Shaun

Hi All, I am trying to replicate customer issue internally with the customer db dump. Program sends series of sql statements to the database ( i.e inserts ,updates delete ). If the program completed successfully, I just refresh the tables with customer db dump and started testing again. I have completed couple of test runs yesterday successfully.(it takes around 10 mins to complete all sql statements ) When I ran test today, it stuck on particular statement (even after 10 mins that particular sql statement didn’t get completed ), where as yesterdays run it took less than one minute to complete and sends back results to the program, on same data. I am testing the program each time on exact the same data. No changes in database, data, and no time outs , no network issues, noted. No deadlocs or table blocks observed. Why the oracle sometimes takes long time (some times no response at all ) on sql statements which sends results quickly on previous tests, exactly on same data)?  Not c

I created my own page navigator node in the gobal context of Aurena but when I go to a user that has a different permission set then mine they don't see the newly created node.  How do I get this changes of nodes to show for the different permission sets?

I recently added a field to a stock IFS operational report and found it challenging. I'm probably missing something really basic. I've created and modified a lot of operational reports done with Crystal Reports, but this is the first time since Apps 2004 that I've tried to use the IFS tools. Does anyone have any better documentation/training material than what is supplied with the Report Designer? Or tips and tricks on creating/modifying reports with Report Designer?
