Hi,

I was wondering, may be you can use data migration. Below is what I found from help documentation.

Help documentation:

IFS Data Migration is a tool that loads data from external sources into the application core objects in IFS Cloud. This tool is typically used to move data from previous legacy systems when an IFS solution is first implemented, or when systems are consolidated. The key advantage of IFS Data Migration is that it always loads data through the business logic APIs in IFS Cloud. Unlike other solutions that insert data straight into tables IFS Data Migration assures that business rules, validations, and integrity checks are never bypassed.

Data Migration jobs are highly configurable and multiple jobs can be chained together depending on your requirement.

Another strength of IFS Data Migration is that migration definitions can be packaged/exported and shared with other projects. The IFS Data Migration component itself contains a number of commonly used packaged migrations.

Data Migration is the process of transfer data from one location to another, one format to another, or one application to another. It is a challenging and complicated job due to the data gravity. IFS Data migration tool helps to migrate your data overcoming the complexity of data gravity. It allows you to migrate data through application business logic ensuring that the migrated data is valid at the destination.

Hi @MLHSKULKARNI 

Under what circumstance should a service contract be automatically created?   Where is the data for the new contract?

@MLHSKULKARNI For a customer of ours, we created an extensive modification to deal with this. It is being created based upon the customer(s) that are connected to a sales contract.

I think that @Thilini Kumarasinghe is right, it should be possible using one or more migration job, but it will be a complex setup and the source, as @paul harland mentioned is of great importance here.

Bear in mind that using a migration job might turn out problematic in the future as it will be set obsolete in the modules of IFS. Not clear however when this will be.

 
@eqbstal Please elaborate on that. Is there any replacement tool or what? Is there any official information available?

@LundahlOskar Although an answer is given in: 

I'm yet still in waiting modus, a year already, to see this functionality in the Data Migration Manager.

Also: 

There is a reference to something that should happen in 2023, but hey it is only 2024 at this moment. So we have to be patient.
