Hi all,After the latest Windows May update, some users are no longer able to log into IFS Apps 9. They are receiving an error stating that the login service is unavailable. After some investigation, we found that this is caused by Microsoft's hardening of Kerberos Authentication. We are currently in the process of migrating to IFS Cloud, but we still need to use Apps 9 until January 2027.We managed to temporarily resolve the issue by adding a registry key, but this workaround will only work until the June update. After that, we either have to find a permanent fix or stop installing updates.Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, how did you fix it? The only long-term solution we can think of is creating a new account and a new keytab file, and then reconfiguring IFS Apps 9 to use them. If anyone has an easier workaround, we would love to hear it!
Does anyone know if it's possible to link the IFS database to Microsoft Fabric?https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/database/mirrored-database/open-mirroringWe're currently using the self hosted bi, but I can't say that's a perfect solution so we're looking for better alternatives.

We have a Boomi integration that runs Shop Orders from MES to IFS that we are migrating from IFS APP10 to Cloud. The issue that we are having is from creating and completing the Manual Inventory Receive. Our Boomi integration worked correctly in APP10 but now shows that it is successful in Boomi while IFS does not receive any Inventory. Our IFS Connector in Boomi for creating the uses ReceiveShopOrderHandling as the projection and Reference_InventoryReceipt as the object. It seems that the Reference_InventoryReceipt object is outdated and I have been attempting to replace it with ReceiveShopOrderSet->InventoryReceiptArray as that is what I see being used in logs when going through the Manual Inventory Receive process in IFS Cloud. When trying to run the new Connector in Boomi, we get an error saying "Failed processing original documents i2i in the IFS Cloud Connection connector: java.lang.Exception: All the keys should be given as input parameters". The Objkey is being set using Bou
In IFS Cloud 24R2, when starting from a service quotation, the preposting can be added after quotation acceptance in the "Prepare Work Order" step.However, when using work task templates added in the service quotation, the tasks already exist in the flow, and the preposting from the work order header is not inherited by these tasks. As a result, preposting must be manually added to each individual task.Is there a way to resolve this issue or apply a workaround?
Hi,do you have any idea, how to implement OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow integration in IFS Aurena? We need to create integration with bank, where is only Authorization Code Flow possible (logging to account, approval in mobile app, configuration, granting priviledges, ...).At this point, I have no idea, how to prepare callbackUrl for accepting GET request with strictly defined URL parameters.Is there any manual how to prepare own SVC not depending on OData protocol?Or use something like /soapgateway to receive and store incomming GET request? Authorization Code Flow
Hello, I am hoping to find information about the add-on to Cloud for the Freight Interface and Credit Card Integration. We are currently on Apps 10 and have these extensions, but are in the first phase of Build and Verify to upgrade to Cloud (24R1) and have not yet applied them to our Cloud environments. Our partner needs additional details to support the upgrade and IFS Support has directed me to the community for answers. 1. What are the artifacts here, change to the solution set, new entities, utilities, etc under a new module, a new k8s container? From our current 24R1 solution set we don’t see anything that suggests that credit cards or freight integration is something that exists. As part of the technical upgrade process, we need to make sure that the database artifacts exist, so this is critical to the process.2. What are the supported IFS release versions? We are doing B&V on 24R1. We do plan to do a release update as part of the plan, but we need to know what the min
When we have defined some conditions in an Event action they work fine in the environment in which they were defined. But when they are exported and imported again as an ACP, (as xml files or a Zip file) we’ve noticed that the conditions stops getting evaluated and the Actions are run regardless what is in the conditions.For example, say we have below event action with below condition, and it was created by importing it from an ACP. Then despite what is in the condition it will execute what is in the Action Details.However, if you open this event Action in the application and do a fake modification to the Condition and do a re-save the issue is gone and the Events are only executed if the conditions are satisfied.When investigating further we realized that this is due to a discrepancy in the NEWLINE character when Event Conditions are saved in the database. When importing the ACPs through an xml it saves the newline characters in the Condition_type and Condition_Value fields as ‘\r\n’

Hi,I suspect the issue may be related to the view/query I am using. I created a new Lobby Datasource, saved it successfully, and was able to preview output. However, when I try to add it to an element/dashboard, the datasource does not exist.When I go back and check, the datasource is completely gone. The SQL counter also returns to its previous value (it increases when I create it, then drops back after it disappears).I also checked permissions, and the datasource does not appear under Lobby Datasources there either. Additionally, if I try to export the newly created Lobby Datasource after saving it, I receive the attached error.Has anyone seen this behavior before, or is there a known limitation related to the type of view/query being used?
Hi everyone,I'm trying to add supporting media (image/document) to a Survey question that technicians need to complete in MWO.I successfully added the media to the question in IFS Cloud, but when the Survey is opened in MWO, the image is not displayed.In IFS Cloud:In MWO:Has anyone implemented a similar scenario? Are there any limitations or additional configurations required to make media visible in MWO Survey questions?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi.When I use Create Order Proposal… Materials on a work task with required date = today is generating a need (a Purchase Requisition is created).But when required date > today, no Purchase Requisition is created.I want to extend the horizon the Create Order Proposal looks to include material need on work tasks within the next 30 days. We are a service company and only need material for work orders.We have a warehouse where we stock the most parts.We do not have the IPR module.IFS Cloud 25R1How can I extend the order proposal horizon to ensure enough stock to cover work orders for lets say 30 days?
We have recently moved to a REST API connection with our EDI data in IFS. With this move, we have started to experience issues with Auto Approving Customers in the Incoming Customer Order screen. We have the Customer profile set up to be Automatic for the Incoming Order / Schedule Approval however it will stop in Incoming Customer Order screen with the Status of “RequiresApproval”. With this, there is no error message or stopped message error. Once you RMB click “Approve” it creates the order with no issues. Has anyone encountered this before or have solution to ensure our auto approving Customer’s truly come through IFS Incoming Customer Orders and automatically approve?

Hello,We are doing an Upgrade for a Customer who is upgrading from Apps10 to IFS Cloud 24R1 (have plans to get 24R2 or 25R1 in future). This is a remote customer who uses a lot of documents.In their current Apps10 system, they have these documents in FTP Repository & database.With the news of FTP getting obsoleted in IFS Cloud 24R1, we decided to implement File Storage for this customer. We have below two questions regarding this situation,We assumed FTP will be fully obsoleted by 24R1 but I can see FTP as an option in this customer’s new 24R1 system. Was this plan to obsolete got changed or postponed to later versions?If FTP is indeed obsoleted and this customer needs to move their documents in FTP to FSS, what would be better/efficient way IFS can suggest? They already went through the FSMig tool’s documentation and have some concerns on the efficiency and support for that tool for FTP. Do we have another tested method in which this customer can benefit from? There is around 5TB

Hello everyone,To deliver a page from one environment to another after making modifications, I usually add the page to an ACP and then deliver the ACP.When I do this, all the elements on the page are automatically included.However, I recently received an ACP where only the newly created command group was included. The rest of the page elements were not part of the ACP. How can i add only one element of the page to an ACP please? Thank you in advance
If you have to do several tasks for one customer, it would be nice if you only had to ask for one signature from the customer at the end, so that all service reports are signed. For example, a signature on the last service report and this is transferred to all service requests that were generated for a customer on this day. Thanks Markus Kühnl
