Insights (Business Reporter and Analysis Models, EOI)

I just went through a successful upgrade from IEE to 23r2 deployed On PremI have the provided IFS_INVENTORY, IFS_SALES, IFS_CRM, and IFS_PRODUCTION_PERFORMANCE models deployed for Data Mart and scheduled.I scheduled my Data Mart Refresh Category, Data Load, and Model Processing in a db task chain, these execute successfully, and I see my logs in both data and process runs.For some reason I don't see any data past the day I did the initial data load in SQL Server, the data is fresh in the MVT and BI tables.Can someone assist with this, if so, please let me know if more information is needed from me?

Hello, (Also created in Framework and Experience)I'm struggling with making my report work to use a dynamic search filter under Pivot for part_no. Does anyone have experience with this? Note, I don't use pivot in SQL very often and tried different approaches.I tried creating a subquery for shop_ord without success. I've also tried using regex:part_no IN (SELECT trim(regexp_substr('&part_no','[^;]+', 1, level)) AS q FROM dualCONNECT BY regexp_substr('&part_no', '[^;]+', 1, level) IS NOT NULL ) I also tried to use query flags without any success. So, I'm a bit stuck and unsure whether this can be done. Does anyone have experience with this? My SQL:WITH weeks AS (    SELECT TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'D') + (8 - TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'D')), 'IW') + (LEVEL - 1) AS week_number    FROM DUAL    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 21),data AS (    SELECT         TO_CHAR(TRUNC(s.REVISED_DUE_DATE, 'IW'), 'IW') AS week_number,        s.PART_NO,        SUM(NVL(s.REMAINING_NET_SUPPLY_QTY, 0)) AS total_qty    FRO

Hi, When I'm trying to login into the Business Reporter using a super user username/password, it doesn't give any login error neither successfully load the reporter having closed the login dialog. When I choose the azure AD login option it says im already login. It seems something wrong with handling authentication code in the BR login dialog when even authentication happens successfully. Not loading after manually closing the login dialog too.Any workaround for this?This is IFS Cloud 24R1   Thanks!/Methshika

Hi all! We get the following error when trying to open and RDL in the latest version of Report Designer: We also have an older version installed and if we open the RDL in that version it works just fine. Any idea what the issue might be? Best regards

I have noticed a significant difference in the way Lobby Datasource page is loaded.Every refresh it retrieves all the available queries in the sudo-selector, and I usually end up waiting a full minutes before the page will respond. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?Is there any solution?

my main question is, Does the ifs application have a data warehouse service? 

I am trying to setup my Analysis Models to populate to an on-premises server.   The instructions are telling me :To achieve this scenario, where SQL Server needs to be accessed using the same IP address/FQDN both externally and internally, you can set up Split DNS or a Hosts file entry on the server running the SQL Server instance.I have tried to edit the host file by adding the external/public IP address as follows.      Internal IP       Exeternal IP or FRQN/Server Name    172.xx.xx.67    rs-IFS-biServer.domain.com    172.xx.xx.67    rs-IFS-biServer    172.xx.xx.67    170.xx.xx.245 Am I doing this right or do I have it backwards?

Within workflow I am trying to get the total number of records returned into the record set so. Can anyone advise a way to do achieve this?

A customer has custom data warehouse built in MS SQL server that they are using with multiple internal systems for reporting purposes. When using IFS Cloud they want to keep using the same data warehouse solution.What is the best way of loading data to their existing data warehouse from IFS Cloud at the database level?Is it possible to use Access Views for this purpose? if so are there any benefits of using access views for this rather than using Oracle views with direct DB connection?

Hello,I would like to output a logo that is retrieved from the database via a select query and 2 parameters (company and language).Since it can happen that PNGs are not available for all combinations, I would like to output a standard logo for this case using the NVL function. The select statement works in PL/SQL-Developer.Unfortunately, no PDF is generated in the Report Designer Preview. Only the rendering cursor is displayed briefly, but nothing happens, no PDF, no error message.Is a nested select or the use of the NVL function not possible?Is there anything else to consider that I have overlooked?Or is there perhaps another way? Here is my select statement:SELECT NVL((SELECT image            FROM   Report_Logos_Tab            WHERE  SUBSTR(image_name,1,4)=:1                   AND SUBSTR(image_name,-6,2)=:2),           (SELECT image FROM Report_Logos_Tab WHERE image_name = '0000-Logo-en.png'))        FROM dual; These are the parameters:tns:PURCHASE_ORDER_PRINT_REP/tns:PO_HEADERS/tns:

Hello,I am curently using IALs views with Quick reports in crystal. this works fine but when I try to use the IALs views in crystals layout in IFS these doesn’t work. I saw in a doc that sometimes it is better to create customs views in IFSAPP instead of IALs in IFSINFO (like IALs) so could you please give me an advice ?ThanksFrédéric

Hello everyone, Looking for some insight on the title. Customer requires BR to generate in CSV format: Report is as follows: They required all approved expense sheet details grouping by Payroll ID and Rate. We had the ability to create an IAL for this data including the grouping as well. The Start and End dates are taken from the same field, Expense Date in IFS where Start Date shows the date for the oldest expense sheet and end date shows the newest expense sheet. However, where we hit a wall was the search parameters were based on the ‘Approve date’ which can carry many different dates so the grouping in the SQL did not work. We decided to create an IAL bearing all the data in the table plus the approve date and decided to perform all the other functions using Excel and it was a success. The report however now contained multiple worksheets and hidden cells of course due to the functions.The current solution we provided was to move all visible cells into a new workbook and save it as

We have a customer on 22R2, hosted in IFS cloud, looking to use Power BI.We’ve read the instructions here https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/22r2/050_reporting/400_power_bi_int/010_setup_pbi_int/but not sure what customer would do and what would need to be done by IFS managed cloud team.Has anyone done this?Thanks.

Hello everyone,  We’re managing permissions for IFS Business Reporter and we’re starting to build more and more reports within the tool. As we’re training up more report designers, we’re running into a bottleneck around permissions management since each report (and each report unpublish / publish event) has to be managed separately.  Thinking about how to solve this, if the report structure within Business Reporter could be an object to manage permissions, this would permit folders to be assigned to a permission set and the report projections underneath them would be inherited by the “folder” level security object.  It seems to be inline with the direction laid out in the technical documentation where a practice recommended is to build a permission set for a given department and assign permissions. The folder structure we’ve built out has naturally fallen along organizational lines and it would simplify the management of report permissions.  It could also remove the tedium of restoring

I am trying to run a report out of Business Reporter, using the GL Transaction info source. If possible, I would like to use the Light Item - Entry Date as a repeater, but only by the day. The system is currently repeating each time stamp. Example, I would like everything by “8/30/24 and 8/31/24” and not “8/30/24 1:23:01PM, 8/30/24 1:23:14PM, 8/30/24 1:25:57PM”. 

Hello everyone, We’re running into occurrences where we make a minor change to a business report previously published in the database removes that report projection from all permission sets other than the permission set “BR_FULL_REPORT_ACCESS”. This is requiring permissions to be modified each version of the report to restore permissions back to where they were prior to unpublishing the active report. Is anyone else running into this issue? Would love to hear how others are managing permissions related to IFS Business Reporter around changes to existing reports.  We’re working off the technical documentation here. 

I want to add a new field named zip_code in the IFS Report Designer. To do this, I have already added a function and XML in the RPI file. I tested the function and its parameters in SQL, and the zip_code result was returned correctly. However, after saving the RPI file, the zip_code field still does not appear in the IFS Report Designer.I have saved the changes, and there were no error indications. At this stage, I also downloaded the schema in IFS CRP and tried to add it in the IFS Report Designer, but there is no layout available to display the zip_code.Did I miss a step that is causing the zip_code field not to appear when I try to add it?
