Hi, I need to send a json string with an application message. I’m on IFS9 so I can’t use a REST destinationtype, so I’m using Http. Is there any way I can send a json string instead of an XML ? Its just one line. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I can create a transformer to do this without access to IFS Developer studio, and I don’t have that. Also I’m unsure if transformers will do json. Can I create an application message with a json using pl/sql code?     Best regards Kresten

Hi all, I am trying to configure a new inbound EDI process to receive customer orders into our IFS 10 UPD 4 setup after being converted from VDA 4905/4915 to EDIFACT DELSCH XML. The  first part of the process works ok (ReceiveCustomerSchedule) but the second part fails (LoadInboxMessage). The error text is: XMLPARSE_NAME:View name mismatch: SCHEDULES != IN_MESSAGE_REQUEST at [2:1]  Caused by: ifs.fnd.record.serialization.FndXmlRecordParser$ViewNameMismatchException: XMLPARSE_NAME:View name mismatch: SCHEDULES != IN_MESSAGE_REQUEST at [2:1] I have configured: [Our ID at Customer] in Customer Add DELSCH config to Message Setup in Customer Configured Routing Rules - Inbound Can anyone give any pointers as to what “View name mismatch: SCHEDULES != IN_MESSAGE_REQUEST” might refer to? Thanks in advance.

We have a saved search which summarizes and sorts by certain fields.  It’s used on the Customer Order lines screen.  It seems you cannot open the screen with the ability to sum and/or group the data.  Here is the data source:  ​​Element designer:   When clicking on the lobby element it does not allow group by.  Also if you click on the header of the element, it takes you to the IFS screen but without any sorting, summing or group by.   When running the saved search from the IFS screen the desired result would be this:  

Hi, I could’t find out this topic (I’m quite new of this forum). I’m testing functionality for the technicians, trying to reach such scenario: the technician makes a transport task for a part  from central warehouse (which is non remote) to his own remote (default) warehouse.  As a result, there is reservation made  for that, warehouse sends material to remote WHSE  and then the technician can do an issue to WO. I have no idea, how to set up the system  to make the stock of the central  visible and accesible for the mobile ? (I do know, how it works with two WHSE’s connected to the technician, but both of them has to be remote).

Hi   IFS seems to recommend use of multitenant database (container database + pluggable database) when installing IFS10 (at least that setup is described in help files) but since only one PDB per CDB is supported I can not really see any advantage of using multitenant setup. So, why use multitenant database (instead of single instance)? Neno Solaja

I have created a quick report that displays total order values for the Sales Group (CATALOG_GROUP)  i.e. MTD, YTD, O/S Value, Overdue, Month+1, Month+2, Month+3, Month+4, Month+5 and Month+6. The report works fine, however, in there old system the report displays the Period Date From and Date To values instead of Month+1, Month+2…..etc  e.g.   Select net_value AS Date_FRom‘27/04/20 - 26/05/20’ I know I can get this information from ACCOUNTING_PERIOD_API.Get_Date_From and Accounting_Period_Api.Get_Date_Until BUT I didn’t think I could set column heading using these values.     Could anyone please elaborate or confirm my suspicions.

Sorry, this was already logged but closed in error after getting an answer on enabling the Crystal Web Service Logs.   I have the same crystal report in 2 IFS instances.  One works without any issues where as the second on fails with the No PDF report returned from Crystal Web Service.   On checking the log file I get the following: 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[GetSavedPDFReport] File Name : TnmtShpordBarc.rpt 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[GetSavedPDFReport] ParameterValues : 281.0 ,LangCode = gb 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[base64Encode] for 281 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[base64Encode] Encoded value : Mjgx 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[base64Decode] for Mjgx 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[base64Decode] Decoded to 281 6/2/2020 10:04:06 AM[IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR]-[OpenReport] File Name : gb\TnmtShpordBarc.rpt 6/2/2020 10:04:0

Hi All,   IFS Apps9 "NOT ABLE TO START APPLICATION SERVICES". Can you please guide us to overcome this issue.   Regards, Vivek NR.

Report x works in Crystal Reports and other Crystal Reports work in the IFS instance.   However, when we run report x in the IFS instance we receive the following message:     When I went to check the Crystal Reports log for this instance there was no Crystal Reports log.   On noticing that there were no error logs I ran CR_Web_Log.exe that resided in folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot\IFSCRWebSetup_IFSR     After clicking on Save and Close I checked the ifs-crystal-config.xml file:

Hi, I understand Apps 10 UPD6 and above is supported to run on Oracle 19c (19.3). Does anyone know if Apps 10 UPD7 is supported on Oracle 19.7, the latest Oracle 19 DB patch bundle for Windows? This is available as Oracle Patch ID - 30901317. TIA, Srikanth

I just discovered that on May 26th customer invoices quit creating a pdf archive file.  It appears that other reports such as delivery report, purchase orders etc are still being created.  These pdf files are needed by the report rule process to automatically email invoices to customers.  I cannot figure out why they are not being created.  Can anyone suggest what might be causing the problem.  It is not a user specific problem.  Same person can create a PO arrival pdf archive report.  From the report archive if you RMB on an invoice Show PDF is greyed out. Thanks Phil

I am using Apps 9 and am creating a permissions set for people to be able to report shop order operations. The permission set currently allows the user to go to the “Report Shop Order Operation” screen (Manufacturing → Shop Order → Report Operation → Report Shop Order Operation) and do everything they need to do, but for some reason the RMB menu option for “Report Operations...” is not enabled in the “Shop Order” screen (Manufacturing → Shop Order → Order → Shop Order).   What permissions do I need to enable to enable this RMB option? Is there a good way in general of identifying which permissions need to be set to enable RMB menus?

Hello, has anyone imported customer payments using a standard ACH file from the bank (ACH file is a fixed width (94 characters) ASCII file).  It looks like there are standard external file templates in IFS.  Just wondering if anyone has already done this and what is the set-up to do so?  There are several template available, but not sure if we would need to create our own or not.  Thanks!

Hi all, I am seeing an error message when using an Event Action to generate an Application Message output in IFS 10. When I try to carry out the action that triggers the event (i.e. changing the status of a Shop Order), I get the error shown below (“Element denoted by path [$EVENT_RECORD$] not found”). If I disable the Event Action, I can change the Shop Order successfully. Any ideas? The Event process is set up as follows: 1. Create an Event with ID SHOP_ORDER_STATUS_CHANGE:

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?
