Hi all I am using the .ova file from the cloud build place in version 2.0.1 for a remote deployment of the IFS Cloud. I configured a static IP. VMware tools are up-to-date and installed. However, after configuring the network, I got the following message after rebooting. Do you think cloud-init is recommended for IFS Cloud, or can I deactivate it without concern? Please let me know If you need more information. Thanks for your help. BR Florian ​

HI All, Is it possible in IFS Cloud 23R2 to grant permission sets page by page like we can do in the old versions ? What we have seen is to give access only to projections. So, how to manage below access on CustomerHandling projection ? In green, these are RW access and and in red, those RO Thanks for your help

Hi, I created a simple POST REST API in IFS Developer studio for IFS Cloud dev environment. The query which I have used is POST method, which is very simple SQL statement and able to see the data through Oracle SQL developer. If I call the REST API through Postman, it always throws “Data mapping error due to type mismatch” error. I checked the structure, all the attributes of structure are declared as string and query is also returning everything in string. Attached the screen shot and errors. if any one has faced these kind of issues, please let me know the solutions. Projection method Attribute Query output in Oracle SQL Developer Postman Error

Hi, I was using PLSQL_Rest_Sender_API on IFS application 10. I want to send a JSON payload to a REST endpoint. I created a CLOB in JSON format in my Utility API. But when I call the procedure “Call_Rest_Endpoint1” it doesn’t accept a JSON clob. It gives the following error in the generated application message - ORA-20105: PlsqlapServer.ERRINV: XMLREADER_NEXT:Cannot move to next XML event at [1:1]: Unexpected character '{' (code 123) in prolog; expected '<' at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1] Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected character '{' (code 123) in prolog; expected '<' at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1] I tried other Call_Rest_EndpointX versions of the procedure but no luck. Does IFS Application 10 not support JSON? There are procedures in Rest sender API in Cloud that accepts JSON payload. I think I have to do manual work here by writing my own transformer. Not sure even if that would work.

Hi, We are hitting 404 Not Found page while trying F1 help. Wondering if someone knows the solution? Thanks in advance

Hello, We are looking to include a signed URL in our customer invoice emails so customers can securely go to the link to access our banking information. Wondering if anyone is aware if IFS can support signed URLs within the Body of an email? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kyle

We want to check whom has which page. We wrote this piece of code to get it. SELECT t.identity, person_info_api.get_name_for_user(t.identity) person, po_.*FROM fnd_user_role_runtime_tab t, (SELECT pog.po_id, pog.role, po.pres_object_type, po.pres_object_type_db, po.module, po.description, po.allow_read_only, po.layer_id, po.change_info, po.change_date, po.info_type FROM ifsapp.pres_object_grant pog, ifsapp.pres_object po WHERE pog.po_id = po.po_id) po_WHERE t.role = po_.role AND t.identity LIKE nvl('&USERNAME', '%') AND po_.role LIKE nvl('&PERMISSION_ROLE_NAME', '%') AND po_.po_id LIKE nvl('&PAGE_NAME', '%')ORDER BY t.identity, po_.role, po_.po_id But, the description column is in English. We want to get page names in Turkish. I found FND_USER_ROLE_RUNTIME and FND_NAVIGATOR views. In the FND_NAVIGATOR view label column has page names in Turkish. However, I could not find any connection between these views. Could you help us?

It seems very fiddly to select mutliple values from a list to search in Cloud. In the example, I have marked 3 suppliers as favourites, but it doesn’t seem to be possible to select all 3 to add to the search box. I have to write down the 3 supplier numbers and type them in. Am I missing something ?

How to Set timeouts for users in IFS8APP?

Hello, We have setup Calendars and Schedule Exceptions in IFS Cloud. When we look at the PSO Gantt, the schedule exceptions related to the Calendars are not reflected for the resources. We see Calendars are mapped with Scheduling Datasets. But when we send a Full Load, we do not see the Calendar information passed to PSO. Are calendars from Cloud not sent to PSO? If yes, do we have alternatives to handle calendar exceptions in PSO apart from using Miscellaneous Resource Allocations? Please let me know. Kind Regards Priyanka Cecilia

Hi All, I have a requirement which I want to confirm whether or not it can be done using a workflow.When the user selects a value for Purchase Group based on certain logic the field Supplier should be automatically field. This needs to happen before clicking the save button Thanks,Dananjaya Misso.

Hello, I am currently trying to run IFS Business Reporter and learn some of the basic, but when I try to pull data from my information sources, I have nothing returning. However, in IFS Cloud there are balances and data in the sources I’m pulling from. I’ve tried multiple different account type but always return a zero value. Is there some permission or setting somewhere in IFS that I need to update? Also, whenever I am putting in row repeaters, the only way that I can get any data at all to return to me is if I select the ALL checkbox on my Design Row Options. This isn’t what is described in the IFS Business Reporter training. Lastly, whenever I am trying to use the sheet repeater, a report that was otherwise working will break and no new sheets are created. Even if it’s an information source that I have already confirmed returns a value in other testing.

Hi, We have two Zebra label printers mapped to a print agent that the warehouse uses to print labels. However, printing through IFS is taking a long time around 10 minutes. (Print agent is taking some time to fetch jobs from ifs). Each time it slows down, we restart the print agent and it works again without slowness. Currently, we have a logical printer named TEST1 mapped in the code as shown below: As a potential solution, we are considering setting up the Zebra printers as network printers(wirelessly through Wi-Fi) in the warehouse, . If we set up these two printers on the network instead of using the print agent, is there a way to specify the network printer details in DATA_CAPT_CMOD_PALL_PRIN_API? How can we define it in code? Alternatively, are there any other solutions you would recommend to prevent slowness in printing? We are open to suggestions such as optimizing the print agent configuration, enhancing network setup, or any other best practices that could help improve the pe

Hi, There was an instance it happened like from PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_CFV all the Grantees (assigned permission sets) were removed and It appeared back after some days. We have tried to check the history log as it was enabled in Security_SYS_TAB and saw that the same permission sets were been shown as delete, and Insert in history type column. What could be the reason for this kind of situation and how can we avoid this in future? We suspected this could be because of the Network issue while deploying changes in the PURCHASE_REQ_LINE_CFV. Appreciate Help and inputs on this. Thanks, Amitesh

We have faced a problem with using REST sender with client credential flow and when investigating it was found that the problem is with the token fetching request. IFS is sending client id and secret in two places, As basic authentication in the header and the url encoded request body. Seems sending the client secret in the body is faulty. Is this a bug or is there any workaround to not to include the client secret in the token payload. Issue was found in IFS Cloud 22R2 but we observed same problem in Apps10 UPD 16 as well

Hi IFS Community In our business we use a variety of different Part Types in IFS APP10 (Master Part, Sales Part, Purchase Part, Inventory Part & Engineering Part), for example, if you were to look at a Finished Goods part it has a record in all five part types. We have sales parts to allow us to sell goods to customers, Inventory parts for production and storage of raw materials and purchase parts to buy the raw materials from suppliers. I suppose my question is do we need to have all these different part types, are they all linked, do you have to start with a master part and it replicates all the way down through the other part types? if they are linked is there a document or work instruction/flow to show how everything is linked together? Only been using app10 for 1 year and trying to get my head round the system set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi , I just created a work flow, and inside it , I would like to call a Projection like this: As you can see, I need pass the “Objkey” to VirtualSet inside the URL, while, in work flow there is no way to pass parameter to a VirtualSet I passed Objkey , but it failed to call.

Dear all, In applications 9, we had a custom menu (PLSQL) that populated some custom fields using PLSQL. Prior to the modify API being called, we could call this API to force the Checkpoint prompt. Security_Sys.Security_Checkpoint('CHECKPOINT_ID', msg_); Now we are moving to cloud, I have been able to recreate the updating of the custom fields with a BPA Workflow, but I dont know how to call the security checkpoint to activate it. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how to do it? Many thanks, David.

Is it possible to activate the log for each modification made to a page? For example, when a user modifies an element in the tool/equipment page we would like to have a record of it (name and date/time)?

We developed a Crystal layout on CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP view for Invoice report. We are able to preview the report with data using Result_Key in Crystal tool. But when we deploy and preview in IFS Application, the report is blank(no data) without any errors as shown in below image. When we deploy this same layout in another environment, we are able to preview the report with data. We are using IFS 10 UPD 13. We observed the same behavior in IEE & Aurena Clients.
