We are getting ready for an IFS 10 go-live in October of 2020.  I’m interested in learning what others have done to facilitate Postal Code and Address validation in IFS.  It looks as if IFS requires that States, Counties, Cities, and Countries be set up before Postal Codes can be created.  Is this data entry typically done manually?  Is there an import capability for this relatively static data?  Does IFS have any APIs that facilitate address validation?  Are there recommended 3rd party serices from which to obtain US and international state/county/city/country/zipcode data to import? Thank you for any insight you can provide in how best to approach this task.

Hello,I am running Apps9.I’d like to run a jar file with arguments from a custom event action. When the status of an object changes, I want to pass the object name and a few other variables to the function within the .jar file.What is the correct way to implement this and where must the .jar file be stored? Do I need to load it as a database object?  Thanks,Alex

Hi all,I would like to add the field Coordinator from the Purchase Order header in the menu Project Miscellaneous Parts. I have experience with adding Custom Fields with Implementation Type ‘Reference’ but not with a SQL statement. And since there is no possibility to add the field via a reference, I will need a SQL statement to do so. I tried some things but I was not able to get it right.I would appreciate your help!We are on APPS10 Update 7.  

Hello All, I have a report and on the last page it contains document ‘HEADER DOCUMENT TEXT’. The problem is that the data is truncated and doesn’t go over onto a new page in print preview? Anyone have any idea why please?  Thanks, D.

Hi,One of my client reported that IFS were ceasing support for Crystal Reports, in the future.Is this true and what is the alternative?

Hello Techies,I want to upgrade our on premises TAS initially installed for IFS Applications 10 UPD5 to UPD8.what is the best possible and recommended way to upgrade TAS installation? I have tried getting the latest installation package for UPD8 and running the installer but I can not proceed further after entering  database details due to an error  (prepare TAS and all pre deploy database scripts have executed without any errors including necessary permission grants and tablespace creation)TIA!

When attempting to print certain reports our users are running into the attached error. I’ve looked through several other issues where the same error came up and they don’t seem to be generating in the same way.See: https://community.ifs.com/technology-infrastructure-cloud-integration-dev-tools-50/error-in-ifs-order-report-in-cws-4281That’s the same error - I don’t believe we’re seeing a password issue with IFSPRINT. Just hoping someone in the community can offer some guidance. Full disclosure, I am completely new to IFS. Thanks!

We are getting performance issues with java.exe taking 99 percent of the CPU on the application server and using 6GB of RAM. Does anybody else see this happening? Should I manage the HEAP differently?

Hello, I’m looking to see if it is possible to generate a Streams notice when an IFS Error Message occurs. Specifically, I’m looking to build an alert for the Insufficient material error message when attempting to Ship WIP to a Supplier. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

Let me start by saying I have plenty of email event actions that send out correctly, so I do not think this is any sort of MAIL_SENDER issue.I am trying to setup an event action to trigger from the (Notification_Events_Util_API.Start_Notify_Next_Auth) function.  The background job posts and executes with no errors.  But my email event action does not hit the application messages and notification queue.  So, I get no email. Strange thing is, I have this working in one environment…..but getting this working in a new environment is giving me trouble.The Event is already setup, the Event Action is setup and enabled.  I have a schedule tasks to run this event at a given interval….same as the working environment.What piece am I missing?Thanks for any help…~JV

Hi, I am unable to see List of Values(LoV) for any of the reports I run from IFS Aurena/Order report. I tried one of the the Example BR reports and an Operational Report as shown in below screen shots. Does any one know what is causing this behavior and tell me how to make LoV visible in IFS Aurena?     Thank you!

Hi, How can access old webinar videos?for ex; https://community.ifs.com/events/ifs-apps-10-ifs-projects-overview-demo-46 thanks. 

Is there information available that describes the installation process of IFS Applications 10? I have installed APPS 8, but with the architectural change in APPS 10, I assume the installation process is not the same.I am specifically asking for the installation detail in a Linux environment with an Oracle database.

Hello, I have been asked to set up a Custom Event that should notify or stop the user (info message / error message) when they try to save a new object based on the values in one custom field, and another standard IFS field. Both exist in separate tables, as you would expect (e.g. NCR_TAB and NCR_CFT).  I get this to work on existing objects, either through querying the field directly in the event action, or through the custom attributes in the event.    However, in this case I want the event to be triggered when the new object is created, which means that the row does not yet exist in either table / view. Upon testing this this is what I’ve observed: If it is a new object (row), I get no value from the custom attribute If it is NOT a new object, and I have changed the CF$_SOME_FIELD value, I get the previous value If it is NOT a new object, and I have NOT changed the CF$_SOME_FIELD value, I get the correct one It makes sense to me that it works like this, but I am just wonderin

Can you please explain why each and every time I try to login to the community my current password is not recognized meaning that I have to send an email regarding a password change? Once I change the password the next time I login the system informs me that my credentials are invalid and I’m forced to repeat the password change process all over again.ThanksAlan

System:  Apps10 Is it possible to create a shortcut that will run the Quick Report (Crystal Report) displaying the parameter screen? Thank you.

I want to brainstorm here with you experts. AT present, we are using IFSAPP for a lot of things, all scheduled and background jobs run by IFSAPP and all of our development team uses IFSAPP for their development ,testing and helping any stuck auto process, purposes.Auditor thinks its a risk factor, especially in Accounting processes. We are planning on creating a finance user and schedule invoicing etc jobs under it. The Question is if i create a new user for this purpose, what should i keep in mind , any special treatment like any basic data etc requirement… How are your business handling situations like this. For Example, are developers using their personal ID’s for development/implementation purposes.. Do you have any Super user accounts.What are best practices….Reference to any document etc. Thanks

Hi,Does anyone know why performance of a Crystal Report sometimes is much slower when run from inside IFS Applications then executed as a preview in the Crystal Report application?I create a report and preview it with ok performance.Deploy same report in IFS Applications but then performance is very slow! 

I’m pulling a phone number from Apps8 in Crystal Reports using the following code on an SQL Expession Field(Select Value from prin1app.comm_Method WhereCompany_ID ="CUST_STMT_ACCT_REP"."COMPANY" AND Party_type = 'Company' ANDMethod_ID = 'Phone' ANDMethod_Default = 'TRUE') I get an ORA-00904 invalid identifier for the reference "CUST_STMT_ACCT_REP"."COMPANY" even though this has been selected from the list of fields in the view. The statement works perfectly from different views or if I use a value Company_ID = ‘7’

Dears IFS Heros I’m new to IFS and I’m wondering if it is possible to configure IFS out of the box to use multiple authentication options at the same time.  What I mean is that I want the users to be able to login with basic accounts and if possible link them to google accounts or facebook. So they can use either one to log in to the same account. As if I’m linking a single account with multiple authenitcaitons methods. So If I singed with facebook then I’m logging to the same account as when I signing with using google. Is such thing available in IFS IE, Aurena or B2B? Regards
