I've been trying to understand the api calls via OData.  For savety measures I've renamed our server instance to xyz. So far I found out the following: I logged on to an IFS10 environment via https://xyz:48080. I selected Entrance to Aurena for that. I opened a new tab in Google Chrome and copied in the following https://xyz:48080/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/DocumentClassesHandling.svc/DocClassSet?$select=DocClass,DocName&$format=json This returns a list of available Doc Classes and their description (json formatted). Very nice. Using the same URL and pasting it in FireFox (with no IFS10 running) the server returned the following: https://xyz:48080/openid-connect-provider/login?rf=p8dCXSBiIY The logon screen is shown. Seems logical to me. No idea what the parameter rf means, but I logged in (with a full access user id). This resulted in: Nice that the json format is even made readable (again I learned something here). If I logout from Google Chrome IFS10 and request the sam

We are in APPs 8 and we would like to use document management. What are the best practices if we want to attach external files (like email, pictures…) on which we do not want to manage revisions or approvals. Is it correct to create a specific class for external documents ? It is required to put this kind of document in “released” or “approved” state ? or else, is it possible to automate the “released” state for one class of document ? Thanks for your help

After upgrading to UPD7 company logos and report graphics seems to have been changed to require to be in the database. There is a fallback setting in Systeminformation but is it anyone else having problems with images on operational reports?

I am currently working to help my company go live with IFS 10.  In attempting to unpublish an old custom logical unit that is no longer necessary, the following error comes up during the attempt: Error occured during unpublish.ORA-20105: ProjectionConfig.PROJCONFIGINUSE: The Projection “CustomProjection[LuName]” is in use by page configurations.  Unpublish the page configuration first.   Try as I may, I cannot find where the “page configuration” is or how to unpublish it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

A user has access to Manufacturing > Shop Order > Order > Shop Order, tabs "Material" and "Operation".  He also has access to the Manufacturing > Shop Order > Operation Analysis > Shop Order Work Guidelines screen.  If he does a RMB on a line item in the first screen’s “Material” tab, there is an item “Work Guidelines ...” to make it easy to navigate between the two screens.  For him, it’s grayed (ghosted) out, so he can’t select it.  The same is true for the “Operation” tab: the RMB item is there, but grayed out.  This is NOT a custom RMB, so there isn’t a presentation object to grant permission to.  Is it possible to grant permission to use an IFS native RMB menu item?  If so, how?  Please note that he can see and use both the source and destination screens, so the problem is with the button itself.

You do not have privileges to use the “Quick Report_API.Is_Qr_Po_Granted_For_User” operation for “Quick Report”.    The user has been granted access to the Quick Report.     How can I correct this?    

Does anyone have an instructions on how to set this up? The IFS EOI Wiki is not handling any on this. The last update on this topic is from 2018 (http://wiki.eoi.ifsworld.com/Needs_to_be_documented)

Hi all!  I’ve created a lot of lobbies on the system but recently more users want to be able to filter their data by month, i.e. either type in April or 04 to filter down lobby results for anything that matched this month.  Tricky bit is that they simply want to use calendar month. So extracting a month from a date is not ideal. I tried toying with build in calendar_api options but didn’t get far yet.  Has anyone ever tried this before? 

Hi Guys Anyone knows if it’s possible to make IFS defined mandatory field as non-mandatory?   Thanks in advance, Dinesh

Can someone help me understand the following with respect to IFS Apps 10 in regards to Replication: Is unbundling of replication message bundle provided as a standard feature in IFS10? Can Oracle WebLogic handle incoming messages in onshore (thus avoiding to use separate Oracle Services to handle incoming messages from each Rig)?. Understand that using multiple Oracle services to handle incoming messages from each Rig reduces the overall Oracle DB performance

Am a little new to IFS, but want to avoid giving users error messages due to layout changes or any other issues that am yet unaware of. So question is, can i publish custom fields whilst people are using them? Its referenced fields for the customer 360 screen. Does anyone have any best practice tips for making custom changes on-the-fly. In my past experience in other similar role, i would normally wait until outside of hours to update live.    

Hi all, I have a key_ref: KEY_REF:= ‘BOM_TYPE_DB=M^CONTRACT=1^PART_NO=15000^ROUTING_REVISION=2^’ I would like to replace some of the values. E.g. ROUTING_REVISION=3 I was expecting to be able to do this: client_sys.Set_Key_Reference(KEY_REF, 'ROUTING_REVISION','3'); but the function does not exists.   What is the easiest way doing this?    

Thank you for looking. If possible what would be the best way to do this. Kind Regards   John

I want to restrict a user to read-only on form e.g. price list or quotation line, how can i do his using Permission Sets.

We use IFS applications: Client version: 9.0.0.0 (Upgrading is not possible in the near future.) Server version: 6.90.0.1 Users works with OS: Editon: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version: 1809 OS Build: 17763.1039 And users on Windows 10 workstations have problems with application usage, the problems are as follows: Menus disappear from time to time; When working in multiple windows, notifications appear behind the main window and cannot be accessed; Freezes IFS application and cannot perform any actions - only workstation restarts help; When using the search filter, clicking on the menu opens it behind the window and you cannot see it; Our developers and IFS application partners in Latvia have no idea why IFS 9 does not work properly with Windows 10 and how to solve these problems. Maybe you have a solution, how can we solve these problems? Thank you very much in advance

Hi All, I know that there is a limitation on the number of custom objects that a logical unit can have. Can you give more details about this issue. I guess there is character count limitation.

Hi, User is experiencing error: The Ledger Item object is locked by another user. I have asked user to log off and back into IFS but this hasn't resolved the issue. Also by checking database session screen I have confirmed no one else is using the ledger item API. This is preventing them from saving supplier offset records. Any ideas how we can resolve this please? Thanks in advance

IFS Apps 9 release 7   We have created 2 custom LU’s one on the sub project and the other on Supplier Agreement. We have created a custom event to pull data into the Supplier Agreement from the sub project but we also want the documents to move. I have attempted to set up an object connection transformation to do this but the only field available to link on is the OBJKEY. Is this possible to do? Has anyone already done it?   Thanks Helen

Is it possible to open up the Call Center New Case Assistant from a Business Activity?  Possibly through a RMB event?  I know I can transfer to a case, but since the Assistant is a Pop up Window, I don’t know if it is possible.  If I can, is there a way to capture that Case Number on the Activity?  

I am trying to add a Valid To customer Field in Sales Price List. The standard field ‘Valid From’ and customer field ‘Valid to’ will be used to validate a sales price list. If the validity is expired or invalid the event will trigger on sales quotation line and prompt an error that the sales price list is not valid.  I have successfully created the custom field.  The event works on LU which is selected , in this case it will be Sales Quotation but the question is how will i compare ‘Valid from and Valid to’ from sales price list and prompt an error.

How can i add a default value for the Custom Field. I have created a custom field (type DATE) and i can see there is a default value column in this custom field details, how do i add a default value to it. Help would be appreciated.

Hi, We have developed new permission sets from scratch and users are unable to RMB->Transfer to Mobile off the Report in Route screen but they can transfer WOs from Report in Work Order I have run debug and the permission set has access to the screen and underlying database view. Anyone know what we are missing here to enable this option!? Thanks in advance

I would like to share few tips which can be used when there is an introduction of lobby items during the developments.    Scenario IFS Consultants could introduce new lobby items xmls during their developments. When such delivery is installed, it is noticed that there has been an import of lobbies from mws repository. Due to the lobby content in the delivery, items related to lobby data sources, elements and pages would get checked by default (unless the selection is changed manually) in the installer during the step of Database import and deploy.     Reference: https://wis.ifsworld.com/f1docs/apps9/foundation1/020_installation/500_references/020_ifs_applications_installer/020_ui_reference_itd/035_ifs_home_itd/080_import_data/default.htm?nobanner=true    Recommendation for handling lobby delivery installations  During the installation, there is a possibility to select whether to deploy the database files or not. If the "Import Lobby Items" checkboxes are ticked, all Lobby items in the
