The documentation states the following, but I cannot find where to download the Layout Migration Tool in the Remote Deployment Guide.Can anyone tell me where I can download the Report Layout Migration Tool?https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/005_operational_reporting/150_layout_migration_tool/--> https://developer.ifs.com/  

We are currently upgrading from Apps10 to IFS cloud . When trying to replicate one of our IAL’s  in IFS Cloud  we noticed some of the called functions in Purchase_Order_Invoice_API are missing when cpmpared to Apps10 e.g. Purchase_Order_Invoice_API.Calc_Invoiced_Unit_Price is no longer present in 24R2. Is there anywhere I can check to see if/when this was deprecated and what the alternatives for these missing functions are?

Hello!I am trying to create a new query with Cloud Query Designer to show orders for a certain sales group that were invoiced “Today”. I added a filter the the Customer Order Invoice date - but I can’t figure out how to set it as a dynamic value for “TODAY”. I’ve tried setting it as a Parameter as well, but then the query prompts me to enter a date to preview the data. This won’t work for us as the intent is to schedule the report to be emailed to a group of users on a daily basis. Is this possible to set the invoice date as a dynamic value of “TODAY” with Query Builder? I’m a novice at query building so any tips someone may have a greatly appreciated.  

Hi everyone,We are currently running the setup script for the Script-Based Infrastructure setup in Azure for Self-Hosted BI. Everything worked smoothly until Step 3, where the general function tried to locate the params.json file in the following path:C:\Windows\system32\templates\…  Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows how to get params.json file?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

I have noticed some views used for data sources (Parquet Files) get delivered without any row data once they land in our ADLS gen2 storage. CUSTOMER_ORDER, PURCHASE_ORDER for example. Other views work absolutely fine - seems to be hit or miss. Does anyone have any idea why that would be the case? I copy the query used by the data pump job into a quick report, and it returns data just fine. Is there a specific account running the job that I can check/update its permissions?

 During the internal setup of IFS Cloud 25R1 Script-Based Infrastructure for Self-Hosted BI, the infrastructure deployment in Azure was completed successfully as per the documentation. However, the user was unable to locate the System Parameters page under Analysis Models → Power BI in IFS Cloud Web https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/050_reporting/010_analytics/010_analysis_models/010_am_pbi/000_biinfrasetup/100_ampbi_infra_setup_s3/#3_update_setup_parameters_in_ifs_cloud_web

I need to add an e-signature to the end of the Purchase Order report. I created a report rule and there is an option to specify the page number on which the signature should appear. However, I want the signature to appear on the last page, and since the total number of pages may vary, I cannot specify an exact page number. Is there a solution for this?Below are the report rule action properties I’m currently using 

I get below error when I open IFS Business Reporter. Any suggestion/ solution is highly appreciated. 

Hi,I have created a custom field in IFSAPP10 but it is not displayed in IFS Report Designer.Enabled On Reports tick box is ticked as well. Can anyone help me to get the custom field to the IFS Report Designer. 

Starting on July 13, 2024, our data loads started having issues.  We did not have any patching or updates or changes that I can find. Prior to this they were running successfully since deployment for over 6 months. The data load itself has a status of executing with errors.  Each data source shows as Executing, Failed, Success or Submitted.  Most were showing as Submitted.  The BI server errors looked like they were deadlocking them selves.  I put sequential IDs and sequences on all of the data sources and now most show as Success. If I run a data source by itself, then there are no issues. Any help or ideas would be great. Here is the IFS screen examples:  H

Also the input message only refers to data from report Archive.Does anyone have any idea how is this supposed to work? I don’t wanna have failed application messages. I could create a Routing Rule to catch this message and don’t do anything with it, but I’d like to understand what’s the purpose of the 3rd application message.

Hi I am getting this error message in Aurena “Invalid datasource definition”  and not in IEE. I checked permissions for both the design and source element and all the permissions were granted.   

Hi all, With Crystal Reports being deprecated, was weighing the alternatives available for regular users to create business reporting. Anyone who has used both Power BI and Business Reporter, what are your thoughts? How do they compare against the visuals, limitations, configurability, integaration with IFS, access etc.I know Power BI will need premium licensing and will have to host the reports on a workspace for them to work.

BR Reports refuse to be rendered as a PDF although these settings were done:  There was an issue with PDFs which should have been resolved by BR version 23.2.0 (EIZBR-2617), but I am using version 24.1.1 in this case and still I am getting would-be PDFs as ordinary Excel workbooks.

Hi everyone,I have a request from a customer who needs to adjust the date entry format in Quick Report parameters. This is a Crystal-based Quick Report, and they want to enter the date in dd-mm-yyyy format. However, when attached to Quick Report, it prompts for yyyy-mm-dd instead. The report itself is designed to read the date in the required dd-mm-yyyy format, but the Quick Report interface enforces a different format.Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to modify the date format for Quick Report parameters inside IFS Application?Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance.

Hello,We have an issue surrounding business reporter that is causing frustration in its users. After initial login in Excel, we are able to use BR as needed. However, if we get timed out and attempt to login again, we get the error below. The only workaround we’ve found involves closing all instances of Excel and reopening the business reporter. This is a pain when working on many reports, or when we just have many different documents open. Occasionally this doesn’t even fix the issue and we need to restart the entire computer. Is anyone else experiencing these issues with BR? Anyone have a fix for it? Thank you,Dylan************** Exception Text **************System.Exception: Error while calling the projection BrClientAuthorizationHandler. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: IFS Business Reporter session has expired.
