Crystal report developed and executes successfully outside of IFS. Report is using a custom developed IAL as its data source (access granted to appropriate permission sets) When copy Crystal Report to server and try to preview in IFS an error is presented: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Ifs_ReportService.GetSavedPDFReport(String FileName, String ParameterValues, String LangCode) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\IFSCRWebSetupIFST_3\App_Code\Service.cs:line 244 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- No actions were executed. Other Crystal reports work fine which would rule out issues with the IFS Crystal Web Service. Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome this error? Thanks in advance Shaun

Any idea what values the column internal_type in table attachment resides? Which is not a UI column. So far only noted the value SIGNATURE which comes for technician/customer signature attachments. Was not able to confirm the remaining values that may exist in the ATTACHMENT.ITERNAL_TYPE column (apart from signature). I could see an entity ATTACHMENT_INTERNAL_TYPE which resides under FSM codes, that has only SIGNATURE as a code value. Could this be it though the column names slightly differ, any thoughts please?

Hi, When will it be possible to override/overtake fragments? This is a serious hurdle when it comes to porting over customizations from EE to Aurena. Kind regards, Sindre Tellevik

We would like our sales department to authorise the sales quotations from collegues, before they send them to a Customer. I hoped is was a standard functionality in IFS 9, but could not find it. Anyone an idea about this?

Hello. When using component parts across a multiple lot size, say 10, IFS wants to split the Qty Per Assembly if the split is not “all”. For example, lot size 10, qty req per assembly is 1, if we use 5 qty of alternate component part, the qty per assembly is 0.5. In the case where the part cannot be physically split, i.e. a bolt, then i’d want to issue all 10 to the shop order and use qty per 1 per assembly, and just use 5 of part A and 5 of part b. Is this possible? Apps9-upd15. Dave

HI, I am using Mobile Work Order on IOS pushed out via MDM and a custom B2B App. I wondered if anyone had any experience in this setup. As we have an on-prem touch apps server is it possible to push the app out with the login parameters pre populated, eg systemID, touch apps server url and username/pass. We can pull user name and password from MDM.

Hi All, Is there a setting to disable the sorting functionality by clicking the column header? I never noticed this but today a customer questioned about it, and now I see it every time when opening a table window I already tried disabling FNDBAS Presobject Table Column Reorganization but it didn’t solve the problem.

Hi, Is there a way (shortcut) to go to/open the pre-posting window? Pre-posting is used in many Windows so we are looking for a faster way to do the input.

I am attempting to get the Mobile app to update the TASK.ACTUAL_TRAVEL_START_DTTM field with the current time when the task status is changed from Assigned to En-route via the mobile app. I can update the value via client scripting, however I cannot figure out how to trigger it ONLY when the task status changes from Assigned to En-route. I had thought about updating via a business rule however I would not catch the exact time of when the status is changed on mobile, only when it is synced. Thanks in advance for advice!

Hey community, how can I add the necessary material? Best regards, Nadim

Has anyone used the Resource Criteria tab on the Project form? I am looking at it and it looks like we can set priority for certain values over and above just Resource ID. But what is not clear is what this actually does for us in the application. The help states that “Once the resource criteria has been decided and entered for the project the resource planning can be performed much easily.” I do not know what that means. Is there some sort of external project planning engine that I am not aware of that is going to use this data to plan resources and pass allocations back into the project? Does anyone have a good use case for this tab/functionality?

Hi All, In the FSM Mobile Application there are baseline CUSTOM fields, as well as the ability to create CUSTOM fields for any screen. Some of the existing Custom fields are; CUSTOM.FULL_NAME DebriefOverview Screen CUSTOM.FORMATTED_TIME JobList Screen Displays a concatenated view of task.plan_start_dttm and task.plan_end_dttm CUSTOM.FULL_ADDRESS JobList Screen Displays a concatenated view of address, city, state, zip etc. There is the capability to add Custom Fields, which you then have the ability to configure limitedly. My question; It seems that all allowed configuration through designer is limited to the source and description, as present in the mm_field table. Nowhere in the mm_field table, or any other mm_field_** tables, can I figure out where the real source of these custom fields is defined. Ref guide seems limited to the statement “If the field you want to add is not bound to a specific table and column, select Custom Field” Where, if at all, in the database/FSM does the syst

I would like to know which application (form) is actual started by a user. Security is all arranged by permission set, but it doesn't necessarily means that the program's in the permission sets are actually used Is there a way to activate/facilitate logging somewhere in IFS or via PLSQL? This will help me analysing which application is used by which user and in which frequency.

The customer has moved from Apps8 to Apps10 recently and they use SSO for logging in. They have a request to reduce number mouse clicks for logging in. He states as below, First click on the click once link Second click to download and Run Third click to select the account to log in But if they have a shortcut to the Application, then it is working a bit weirdly. So they are asking if they can optimize the number of mouse clicks before logging in. Is it a possible task? In Apps10 doesnt it have the 2.0 and IsolatedStorage cache in the machine? I tried internally it always ask to download the Application.

Hi We are planning to perform a test DR of our infrastructure and IFS system as this is a requirement for SOX/Audit to evidence we have performed this task. We have Oracle database on a Linux server, whereas IFS environments are on Windows servers. We have Mobile and 360 in addition to the Middle Ware (MW) server. We are using IFS Apps 8. Our Windows servers are mirrored using a 3rd party product, and i believe the plan is to fail over to a mirrored equivalent during the test. We copy the Live Oracle files to our TEST Oracle server hourly. The plan is to create the Live database on the test server using the backed up files transferred from Live server. Once the database is up, i understand i need to perform a re-config on the MW server to point to this database on the test server instead of the Live server for the purpose of DR test. Are there any other steps I need to perform to allow IFS to work in this DR scenario? I am looking for guidance or advise on experiences of performing a D

Hello All, Can anyone advise how we could control access to the report archive screen/data by site / company? At present any user can print/view any report from report archive screen regardless of this access, this is posing a potential security threat as our organisation is made up of multiple companies. We’ve tried revoking access to report archive activity, however that meant the user could not print any reports as a result. Please advise.
