Does anyone know if it’s possible to schedule Crystal Quick Reports to run daily and email the results to the user? We have a KPI report they need to generate automatically each day.
We are using IFSv9. Our users run lots of different reports including System Reports, Quick Reports derived from both SQL and Crystal..etc. When users OUTPUT the data from the reports they have always chosen one of the Excel options and produced an Excel file download. Now some of the users always get a CSV file irrespective of which option they choose. This is causing a lot of confusion because they look for output files from Excel and don’t find them, not unless they select to open ALL FILES. This is the case irrespective of the number of records output - some users only get CSV as a default output option even when they are outputting 10 records and have select output to Excel. It seems to work OK for some users but not all. Most of our users are now on Windows 10 although a few are still on Win7 but the issue seems to exist irrespective of Windows version. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue please?
When I try to setup navigation from within a Lobby element object like a matrix it fails if I’ve used an API call in the data object in IFSv9. How do I get it to use the selection criteria in the data object and accept the valid api function?This would be immensely useful to us. Thank you in advance for any tips or guidance.
We are validating a custom field which works but the user would like the ability to free type in the field as well as the list takes quite a while to load and they use this screen all day long. Is there any way to validate against a list without making the user pick from the list? Any advice would be appreciated. We are in IFS v9 Regards, Patrick Naughton
I have used Excel migrations to upload data into IFS but I’m struggling with one migration job. It seems that if the view entered into the migration job is over a certain length (25 characters?) then the migration job will not create and I get error ‘Intface Header has an invalid format’. Is there anyway round this please? It would be a huge amount of work to reduce the length of the name of my custom view . We use IFS v9
We keep getting issues with IFS where the application grinds to almost a stop. Tasks that should take a few seconds take 10minutes and users can no longer log on. When we look in the Oracle alert log we see lots of occurrences of ORA 3136. Episodes like this seem to last about one hour then the application returns to normal use. We noticed that memory utilization on one or other of the extended servers shoots up to 100% during the onset of these events but we cannot find any reason for this. It tends to happen at about 9am and 4pm when there is more login/logout activity and a bit around lunch time ~noon but can see no real cause. It doesn’t happen everyday. It was very bad last Friday and Monday of this week. Since then it’s performed well . Has anyone seen anything similar please?
Has anyone tried to restrict the access to notes in IFS9? We have several sites and they’d like to add site specific notes to customer records but it seems all users see all notes.
I need to create a Quick Report with column headers in UPPERCASE but whatever I do my headers are converted to proper case. So SELECT QRC AS “QRC” becomes Qrc on the header Does anyone know how to fix this please?
We are considering use of the MWO (Mobile Work Order) processing for our Maintenance Engineers. We’d like to install the app on their phones. But first we would like to find out if it's used by other companies and if this is a reliable solution. Has anyone used MWO? Has it proved reliable? We use IFS9 and have about 50 Maintenance Engineers who work at our plants so they'd be connecting via WiFi from their phones. We have fairly extensive knowledge of IFS and use it quite widely.
