Hi All, We’ve recently put Web Lobby onto Apps9 - Via the web lobby log in I am able to view all the lobbies that have been created prior to IFS deploying this software - however I get page unavailable when I try and open a lobby that I have created since. The lobby is there listed on the web lobby view, so I can click on it to navigate to this lobby view but I then get the message Page Unavailable. The address is the same for the lobby page in the web lobby view and the application, so I believe it is trying to locate the correct lobby page, therefore I assume (maybe incorrectly) that it is a permission issue.  However, I have gone back and checked the permission sets on all the data elements presentation objects, design elements presentation objects and the lobby page presentation object and all are there and have myself listed as a user granted access. Is there somewhere else I need to set so that it is visible via the web lobby view?  Th

We have a requirement to embed a 2D barcode (PDF417) in a Crystal Quick report. The barcode will need to be dynamically created from data in IFS e.g. part number, lot batch, expiry date, analysis results etc. I’m not sure if this is even possible or how you would go about it.  Hoping somebody on here has experience of implementing a similar requirement. 

Hello,   Trying to access the IFS Monitoring Console for both App9 and App10 in internal environments and when you go to the database side, all the tabs are empty except Database Parameters tab.  Following keeps showing on the developer console in chrome when you open the tabs.     Checked the tabs in IFS Applications and Middleware Server areas and they are showing okay and are giving the status code of 200.  If you copy the Requested URL and paste it on a tab, you should see the response but when I do that here, i get a 404 Not Found error.   Has anyone experienced this behavior before? Any idea what could cause it?

Hi, I am trying to install CrystalWebService_64bit setup  for using Crystal Report after configure IIS 10 on Windows Server 2016 (1607) OS Build 14393.3564, but it’s not allow to install setup for Virtual Directory on IIS.  

It is possible to create an external link to a document folder, e.g. https://<landing_page_url>/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf%3AfrmFolderInfo%3Faction%3Dget%26key1%3D1234567%26COMPANY%3D1 That link will open the Document Folder Navigator with the selected folder (key1=1234567) as root folder. The Folder Details to the right is showing the information for that particular folder. My question: Is it possible to get a link to a folder that selects one of the subfolders in the shown folder tree to the left and shows the information for that subfolder in the Folder Details to the right?

It is possible to create an external link to an engineering part, e.g. https://<landing_page_url>/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf%3AfrmEngineeringPart%3Faction%3Dget%26key1%3D12345678%255E1.0%26COMPANY%3D1 That link will open the Engineering Part Navigator with the selected part (12345678) with the specified engineering revision (1.0). My question: Is it possible to create a link to a selected Engineering Part at the latest revision? And maybe also to the latest released revision? For documents it is possible, but what about engineering parts?

We’re seeing 2 emails being sent to customers for every customer invoice that is printed using the Bulk Print Customer Invoice mechanism, in Apps10 UPD5. Each email has an invoice PDF attached with identical content but each file has a separate filename (e.g. Invoice_0001.pdf and Invoice_0004.pdf).  This makes sense as to why 2 emails are being sent since it looks like 2 PDF files are being created for every invoice. So the question is why is it generating 2 PDF files for each invoice when printing invoices using the Batch Print Customer Invoices screen?   Any ideas or has anyone out there seen similar? We were originally using the Print/Send option but even with Print Only it still generates 2 PDFs and therefore 2 emails. Any help appreciated!  Thanks, Nick

Is there any guide to install and manage statspacks on a customer environment to retrieve the performance information?

I have an IAL that I want to duplicate in another IFS system. I do not have access to the original source.  Does anyone have suggestions how I can extract the IAL and copy it to my other IFS system? Both are IFS8 running Oracle 12c.

Is there any information to find about how to move an IFS database from Windows Oracle to a Linux Oracle database server?

Our customer is considering changing the platform using IFS Applications from on-premises to OracleVMServer. So could you tell me the case of using IFS Applications on OracleVMServer?   - Whether IFS Applications works on OracleVMServer   - Whether there are limitations when using IFS Applications on OracleVMServer   - etc

Hi All,   Seems quick report SQL does not allow DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE. Error Message: Forbidden PLSQL code rejected: "DBMS_RANDOM" FNDSQLFORBIDDEN: Forbidden PLSQL code rejected: "DBMS_RANDOM"   Is there an alternate to get a random value in a quick report?   Cheers!

Hi, I asked this question on openIFS in November. Now openIFS seems obsolete, so I try here. I wonder whether we could introduce fourth layer next to CORE, EXT, CUST in order to allow modifying the PL/SQL packages by the customer. Assuming the customizations would be done carefully, they would survive upgrades to new UPDATE. For the moment I have created new component and I created some procedures which are executed as scheduled tasks. It would be sometimes convenient to modify the logic in some areas specific to our needs. Asking IFS for doing the customizations is much slower. What do you think ? Regards, Marek  

Hi All We applied Update 15 and 16 to our Live APPS v9 environment this past weekend. Our users have reported that when they attempt to attach a Document (in this case a PDF, but does the same for all) to a Customer Order (and possibly other records), they receive the following error: This was not the case before applying the latest updates. Checking the defined extensions, all looks fine:   Has anyone else seen this issue after applying the recent updates? The issue is also in out Test instance, but we clearly missed this one from our testing! Regards Mike

Installer process get crashed when doing a reconfiguration in TEST environment. reason to do the reconfiguration is that the database has been refreshed from the LIVE environment. not done any changes to the IFSHOME. After the database refreshed, cannot perform the reconfiguration. here I attached the Installer log and the java crashed log.   Track : IFSAPP7/JBOSS   anyone know the reason for this?

Is it possible to publish IFS10 Business Analytics Excel Client on a windows RDS environment?

We have an issue whereby emails OUTSIDE of our company domain aren’t able to be sent from IFS.   An example is where the Purchase Requisition line(s) to Authorize notification sits in a Waiting status with Application Messages with the error message of “Unable to relay recipient in non-accepted domain”.   So lets say we want the notification email to go to Hotmail or icloud for example… Is there a way to make different domains accepted?

Dear All,   When we press “.” key in Aurena, dialogue is open with commands. Wanted to know if this is a replacement to RMB option in IEE.    Please share all the details related to this.   Cheers! Thanks

I tried to do it with Event Action on EDM_FILE_STORAGE_TAB but without success

I have created a new Crystal report to be run in the client as a quick report in Apps 10.  I have followed the IFS Crystal guidelines and used the stored procedure CR_WEB_INIT. I have made sure it can be run in Crystal as IFSAPP and IFSPRINT and have granted permissions to be able to run the quick report. The issue is that when I run it in the client I am asked to provide sign on information for IFSAPP. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi All I noticed whilst testing the application of Update 15+16 to our Apps 9 test environment, that after completion, I got the dreaded single sign on Security Error message (see below). Ok, I am sure it is not always SSO that causes this rather generic error, but thats when I tend to see it. If I manually type the domain username/password it works. After previous updates I had not seen this issue. I found that running a straight reconfigure without changes resolved this issue, but find it a little alarming. Has anyone else seen this behaviour after applying 15 or 16? SSO scares me! :( Regards Mike

Hi - Hopefully I'm in the right area and also I hope that I am not asking a redundant question.  I did search forums did a search here.  I am working with a view/screen that the user wants a field inserted via column chooser that exists on the form that is used to populate view/screen.  Yes, you can create a custom field which inherits the value of existing field on form and have it become a visible column in screen/view.  I've already done that and that works. But it's READ-ONLY. This new column/field needs to be editable from screen/view as the field it's referencing is editable when viewing the form.  Thoughts?  Thank you all for your consideration.

Currently our task table doesnt have anymore spare User_Def fields. is there any other way to add fields to this table or do we have to create a brand new table and link them together? Our sister company ended up creating another table (CUST_TASK) but the user defs all work the same. In the UI designer you’ll see all these in the task selection However were trying to do insert business rules using the CUST_TASK table and running into issues. If we could do this on the task table that would be great but there are no empty user defs left

Custom objects are one of the fantastic functionality IFS application provides. Are there any self-learning materials or any guidance for learning custom object functionality? (Videos or well-maintained pdf or a word document)  Some basic examples can be found in the IFS help documentation. But I would like to get a deeper understanding with basics to complex examples of creating custom objects and the standards that we need to follow, the best practices, etc.
