Hi All I would love to know how you backup your IFS_HOME on the Application Server before applying an IFS Patch or IFS Patch Update? For clarity, I am running IFS version 9 on a Windows Server environment. Now I have never needed to restore the IFS home after a failed update in our current version of IFS (did I just say that!?), so this has led me to wonder if my post patch safety net will save me in my time of need? I have in the past intended to back up the IFS home, using 7-zip (due to crazy path and file name lengths that windows cant handle). When I get to do this, during our tight window of opportunity, it just takes way too long. FYI: It is 23Gb in size. So I don’t bother and decide to rely upon the seemingly effortless Virtual server snapshot taken by our super network boys…… Now is this going to cut the mustard when/if my patch fails? We have successfully completed a DR exercise using these backups/snapshots, so it should work? Even if I did wait for the zip backup of the IFS

Hi everyone   Could someone tell me if Apps 8 mobile apps can run on Android 10 devices please

Dear IFS Experts, Please see line included in a SQL statement below: NVL(IFSAPP.TIME_PERS_DIARY_RESULT_API.GET_WAGE_HOURS (ED.COMPANY_ID, ED.EMP_NO, Wage_Group_API.Encode('HOL Holiday'), 'HOL', null, ED.ACCOUNT_DATE, ED.ACCOUNT_DATE),0) HOL_HOURS, this line works in SQL developer but when I try to deploy the IAL in IFS I get the following error:     I have highlighted in red the Encode part of the code that seems to be upsetting the IFS IAL deployment  I would really appreciate if you have any insights about this error message.   Many thanks

Does anyone know if a CLU can support document attachment i.e. applying object connection?

Hi All,   I have one requirement where I want some columns should be highlighted with colors in Aurena. Is this possible to control in Aurena   EG. In Purchase Orders screen, I want the column of order no and site should be highlighted with any color   Thanks and Cheers.  

Hi,   I am trying to change the label name of Page from Page Designer as well as from Navigator Designer. I dont want to publish the changes, I want to first see from my user id (IFSAPP). After doing the changes i am saving but not publishing the changes. What I am experiencing is when I am restarting the Aurena or refreshing the page, changes are not reflecting in UPD 8.    When I was doing in Upd 6, changes were reflecting to me after refreshing of pages but when when I am doing in UPD8 I always have to publish the changes. To make the changes effective is this has become mandatory to publish in UPD 8. Please confirm.   Thanks and Cheers  

Is it possible to create a new search domain in Apps10? I'd like to add the Supplier for Purchase Part. So if someone is searching a part number, the supplier's part number will be included with the search. 

Hi Guys I know this is not recommendable but one of the Customers inquired if it is possible to hide few rows under Quotation history based on associated custom object criteria? For example-  in below screenshot can we hide bottom two rows under Quotation history tab (highlighted in yellow) where Custom Object- Comm Method is null- possibly using check/uncheck box?     Thanks in advance

In the Scope Tool there is an aspect in the Resource Planning area (IFS10). One of the screens is to issue equipment to an employee. The name is frmEmployeeEquipmentCard  Does anyone know from which module this screen is a part? How to access it (so which path to follow)? Regards,

New user, registered and approved. Able to login just fine, but cannot find any kind of logout/logoff option.   Nothing helpful came up in search, so I made this post   I don’t see a good “sub forum’ choice available, so I’m going to try to post this without it, if it makes me pick something and it’s wrong, I’m sure a mod will move it.

For some reason, the system did not create the Financial Project when the Project was setup and approved.  Is there a workaround to create the Financial Project  or some way to create the Financial Project manually and link back to the Project?  

Hi community, in the following screenshot you can see a new Revision, with the Revision No.: 0 Logically, the system should continue counting with the next higher number instead of counting down. Even the IFS help says so: "The internal counter used to keep track of all revisions for a part. For each new revision, the counter is incremented by one. This is used to correctly order part revisions in forms and reports. This field cannot be updated manually." What happens here?   Thanks a lot for your help! Best regards Nadim

Hi, I want to create a new form window and also need to display the tabs which have table window.  In form window, showing some read only data and in tab window, user will enter manually with some auto fill which drive from header form window. i believe, there is no option to add tabs in Custom page. Is there any possibilities to create form window.? Currently we are using IFS 9 and soon we are going to update 10

Hi,   Has anyone got and recommendations for a Crystal Reports scheduler they use?   Need it to automatically email out Crystal reports - and possibly for the date parameters to change daily     Thanks, Callum

Hello,   I’ve been trying to use PL/SQL scripts to update some custom fields in IFS 10.  I used the following:   (code snippet)       VC_INFO_      := NULL;       VC_OBJID_     := V_OBJID_;  -- obtained via cursor       VC_ATTR_CF_   := 'CF$_CF_CUSTOMER' || CHR(31) || 'C101040' || CHR(30);       VC_ATTR_      := '';       VC_ACTION_    := 'DO';        ifsapp.INVENTORY_PART_CFP.Cf_Modify__ (            INFO_       => VC_INFO_         ,OBJID_      => VC_OBJID_         ,ATTR_CF_    => VC_ATTR_CF_         ,ATTR_       => VC_ATTR_         ,ACTION_     => VC_ACTION_       ) ;           This worked on a standard free entry field, but does not work on a referenced field.  Is there any way to do this via script, or will this require a different method to update?  Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi all,   At one of our customers we have a "sizing" / "scaling" issue when printing (.zpl) Labels on Zebra printers. In the Label Designer or a ZPL Viewer, the Label Size seems to be correct. However when we print the actual labels, the information which is printed on the Labels is much smaller. Please look at the attached pictures. Although the picture is not perfect, the information on the actual printed label in real life is nearly not readable ( to small). And as you can see, the information printed is aligned to the upper left corner. While in the designer /or ZPL viewer, the information is nicely centered over the entire label.   Does anyone of you have an idea what can be the cause of this? Can this be a printer setting, or something in the layout design? (Of course the actual label size is also 8 x 4 cm, as the label was designed. So we are not using the wrong label size.)   Thanks and best regards!

Hi all, We are using Access Provider extensively in Apps 9 and are about to upgrade to Apps 10. We will have to continue using Access Provider for some time after the upgrade. Question is, what is the best way to set it up. It is working if I change the address to: https://xx.xx:48080/main/compatibility/clientgateway and include (C#): System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls; But is that the right way doing it? Code example (aps.net): using Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider;using Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.PLSQL;using Ifs.Fnd.Data;using System;using System.Net;public partial class WebIfsTest01 : System.Web.UI.Page{ public static string serverUrl = "https://xx.xx:48080/main/compatibility/clientgateway"; public static string username = "xx"; public static string password = "xx"; public static string locale = "en-US"; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {} protected void Button1_Click(object sen

As mentioned in the first post, this issue should be solved by doing the sorting in the datasource. https://community.ifs.com/products-all-about-making-and-managing-stuff-40/lobby-chart-in-sort-by-x-axis-1189#post4824 But when I do this, it doesn't work and still it sorts on the amount column instead of the date column.    

Hi. Does anyone have anything that might help me with custom tabs in Aurena? I need to add a custom tab, based on a custom logical unit, into a CRM screen. The LU has been created with a Projection in the EE client, and I’ve created the Projection in Aurena, but I’m not sure what the next step should be or how to get the custom LU to appear as an entity to connect it to the new page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ian.  

I had been wondering how to insert sticky notes from an api. Sticky notes use two tables: FND_NOTE_BOOK_TAB and FND_NOTE_PAGE_TAB. There is one note book for an object that can have multiple note pages. Each page is connected to the note book via a note_id. To test this I prepared the following: A script to insert a new note book (this is when you don’t have sticky notes yet on an object) A script to insert a new note page based upon the note id as prepared in step 1. Script 1: declare   info_             varchar2(32000) := NULL;   attr_             varchar2(32000) := NULL;   objid_            fnd_note_book.objid%type;   objversion_       fnd_note_book.objversion%type;   lu_name_          fnd_note_book.lu_name%type;   key_ref_          fnd_note_book.key_ref%type; begin   lu_name_ := 'SupplierBlanket';   key_ref_ := 'BLANKET_ORDER=152^';   Client_Sys.Clear_Attr(attr_);   Client_Sys.Add_To_Attr('KEY_REF', key_ref_, attr_);   Client_Sys.Add_To_Attr('LU_NAME', 'SupplierBlanket', attr_);  

Hi, Is there any possibilities to do calculation automatically after leaving the text box. i have two scenario.   In same page,  there are 3 text boxes text1 , text2 , text3.

Hi When I create a custom page with read-only columns, I cannot enable LOV when I search the read only columns in the custom page. Does anyone know a workaround to this? Here’s an example: I create a custom page with these three columns: Customer ID: Persistent field with LU reference to CustomerInfo  Form of business: Read-only field using custom fields implementation type = “Referenced value” to show the form of business of the customer entered in column 1. Open Sales orders: Read-only field displaying the count of open orders for the customer entered in column 1. A configuration like this could serve as a dashboard by a department to monitor a set of critical customers on a particular day or similar.  This type of configuration can be quite useful (in particular when including a “user” column such that further configuration can allow users to work on the page independently of each other.    However, considering above basic scenario - when a user want to filter the records on the cus

Hi All i'd like to confirm about specification of PGA Memory usage, and session release timing of IFS. 1. (1-1) What exactly timing did the sessions related to non-IFSSYS users (xxxx) create? (1-2) When does INACTIVE sessions start releasing? 2. Which exactly IFS screen is it for expiration date/time of above INACTIVE sessions?        3. Why does NOT IFSSYS session release?     Does this setting come from "Connection on Pool"?
