All,Looking for some guidance.  IFS Apps 8 SP1 installation.We had a major incident yesterday when users lost the ability to carry out the Shop Order Receipt process - users were receiving an ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.The issue began at 11:11.  We finally resolved the matter some time later after finding that a number of packages, but critically INVENTORY_TRANSACTION_HIST_API, had the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS changed from CHAR to BYTES at exactly the time the issue began.We reviewed all other instances of IFS (Dev, Test and another copy of Live) and the parameter is set to CHAR.  We changed INVENTORY_TRANSACTION_HIST_API from BYTE to CHAR and the issue was resolved.In our system parameters we have the following setting which as I understand it means we are operating a Unicode system We have reviewed all packages across Dev, Test and Live and there are number of inconsistencies between CHAR and BYTE.Questions are:Should all packages be set

Hello, I’ve created two scheduled database tasks, and I was hoping to be able to setup a Streams notification to push to a subset of users when the jobs are executed. I do see where you can check the box to send a stream notification, but that would just notify the user that created the job. Is there a way to notify a group of users? Thank you!

Is there a way to back up the base profiles? We’d like to automatically back them up every day and then keep the backups for a seven days. I’m sure I can figure out the rolling seven days piece if I could figure out how to back them up in the first place. Thank you.

We are having an issue with one of our IFS instances with users who belong to groups with SID history.  When a user is put into more than 45 groups with SID history the user can no longer access IFS via SSO.     In looking through logs in WebLogic the user appears with no login listed.  Is there a WebLogic setting that could be causing this affect or a setting we can change within WebLogic?   

I am trying to add actual costs (cost type ‘external’) into a work order (to pull through to the GL).  It is allowing me to add external costs and authorize/finish the work order but no GL posting is created - the transaction is set as CSS (Cost of Sold Services), type ‘EAM’. Is there any way to get around this? Apps 9.

Hi there, We are using Crystal for some report layouts and whilst the IFSPRINT account is unlocked the report is generating fine through IFS & through CR itself. However, every 5 or so minutes the IFSPRINT account is locking, and I cannot understand why this behaviour is happening as I would expect the account to remain open. This is even if the account is just unlocked and then not accessed for the 5 minutes. Is there any reason why this may keep happening? Regards,

When a report in the Report Archive of one user is forwarded to the report archive of another user / distribution list, the recipients get the following email from the system automatically.  Our users find this email to be very confusing as they do not understand the text in it. In my opinion it’s too ‘technical’. We want this turned off. I checked to see if it was an email event / custom event set up but couldn’t find such. Does anyone know where I can find it and how to turn it off?TIA!
