Hi IFS Community, We are going to move documents from DB to FSS via ‘Transfer Document’ assistant. The customer is a live customer hosted in IFS Managed cloud and therefore we do not have access to File Storage. Then I have a major concern on what will happen if any technical failure happen ? Is there any chance of happening technical failure during the transfer.  I have analyze the code and here are my findings.Back ground job created for ‘EDM_FILE_API.Batch_Process’ and then execute Batch_Transfer_Handler_API.Move_From_Db_To_Fss. This create application messages to transfer each file to FSS. Then the IFS connect logic executes as below.I would like to check whether is there any chance of executing modifyLoactionName without executing actual logic for physical file transfer. The location Name in Edm_File_Tab will be changed when ‘modifyLoactionName ’ executes.  1.0 Can IFS RND consultant can check whether is there any chance of happening this ?2.0 Does any consultant among IFS communi

Hi,I’ve been trying out a document macro to create a PDF when checking in a word-document.Below processCreate a new document revision for the document class associated with the macro Click “Check In Document” and select a word-document Click “Edit Document”, save and close it Click “Check In Document”Above process successfully creates a PDF-file and checks it in together with the edited word-document.My question is, is it possible to skip step 3 and 4? That is, have the PDF-file created and checked in at at the first time I click “Check In Document”?Currently I’ve been able to have the macro create a PDF file at step 2, but IFS doesn’t check it in. The PDF-file is created in the CHECK_IN_PATH folder with the same file name as the word-document.I understand that sFileName and sPath below is null when doing step 2 above but contains LOCAL_FILE_NAME and LOCAL_PATH when I’ve first checked out the document as per step 3.'Macro Block: WORD_INIT_AND_COMMON' General declarations for MS Word ma

Hi,We are looking for a way to import documents from a shared folder or local c drive into IFS cloud document management.Tried using Cloud File storage Migration Tool (FS Mig Tool) but seems it is most suitable for environment-to-environment migration.The documents need to be attached to the corresponding business object screens under the attachment section. Importing them manually one by one would be time consuming, so we are looking for a batch import approach.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank You!

Hi! We’ve just started experimenting with Document Macros in IFS Cloud and see a great benefit of generating the view file when checking in the original document.But a colleague mentioned that Microsoft will deprecate the vbscript feature going forward, how will this impact document macros in IFS? The question was previously posted in the Foundation sub-forum, but I think it might be better suited here in the Document Management forum.  BRGeorge

Hi Community,Appreciate some assistance or your experience in this regard. We are experiencing the below error when attempting to view or download a document file.Error: Something went wrong when downloading or saving the file using Aurena Agent. Error Message: File is being scanned and cannot be downloaded at this time. Try Again Later.We transferred the documents from the DB to the File Share Repository.Transfer has successfully completed. I am able to view/download some of the doc rev files. But some files give the above error message. If I try it again for some doc revs it is possible to view / download but for some other doc revs the file cannot be downloaded or viewed at all.Anyone had a similar experience and fixed it?Is Aurena Agent Mandatory to view / download if the repository is File Storage? If I attempt to copy file to Local folder system says Aurena Agent is required. NOTE:I connected IFSAPP user to a person record before I performed the transfer from DB to File Storage R

One of our existing german customer ask the following, can someone help on this?We have a more specific question and hope you can recommend someone at your company who is very familiar with the document management system in IFS. In brief: Of the four possible repository types https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/130_add-on_cmp/docman…, we currently use ‘Database’ and are satisfied with it.However, in future we would also like to store sensitive documents in IFS and restrict access to them on a large scale so that even people with IFSAPP login details do not have access to them.Therefore, we would like to set up a second repository with the type ‘File Storage’, as described here https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25R1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/120_file_storage_for_… on an external SMB storageThe documentation one level above states: ‘The caller interacts with the service using simple REST operations.’ However, we are not yet clear on

I am trying to perform a File Operation>Copy File To operation (and Distribute>Send Document File By Email) to copy Document Revisions to my  computer and it seems like the limit is 15 Documents.  When I select 15 documents, the function  File Operation>Copy File is visible…as well as the Distribute>Send Document Files by E-Mail. When I select 16 or more files, the option for File Operation is no longer on the screen. Is there a setting somewhere we can change to allow more documents to be selected?Thanks,Gregg

Hi,I use IFS Cloud (Application service update: 23.2.1).I create a new file type in the EDM basic data. This is for the .stp Extension (3D Files from CAD)Then I use this new file type when creating a new document revision. When I try to approve the revision, I have this message :“The number of PDF files and/or the combination of view and original files on this document is invalid for PDF signature and certification. If you are an end-user, talk to your system administrator. If you are calling this API from code, check your data or consider using the more specific method to sign your PDF file.”This file type is not PDF so I don’t want (and I can’t) use e-sign for this file.I use several document class to test and the result is the same.If I use a already created file type, this OK, I can validate it without any problems. Does somebody have any ideas about this issue ?Thanks for your feedback if you have same issue.Nicolas.

Hello community, Customer needs to transfer document from DB to Storage. The following steps were our test after we added a new document on an inventory part: activate repository * (Default)  - Status set to 'Generating' which is set to Database deactivate repository TEST (this is where the document class is set to Klasse 200-400) – Status set to 'Usable' check-in Doc -> this is then saved in  * (DEFAULT) so the database (this is correct) Then activate repository TEST (Generating) und deactivate * (Default) (Usable) select  repository * and transfer option is activated Select transfer – From Default to TEST – select file to transfer and finish. Where does our file end up? this part did not work. We could not find our file in the docman.The file is definitely gone. The next test it didn't show as available for transfer anymore but we also couldn't open the document anymore. Does anyone have some experience with this? Thank you very much. Jiri

Hi Team, The customer experiences a lot of trouble with the Aurena Agent stop working for users. In May we had 92 users affectedIn June we had 64 users affectedIn july we had 19 users affectedIn august we had 42 users affected. This is an ongoing problem, and it can only be solved by re-installing the Aurena Agent. That is not a sustainable solution for the customer.Also, they have tried troubleshooting the Aurena Agent according to the article: KB0082974 with both methods with no results. and don´t get any answer from aurena agent in neither way.   Product Version: 23.2.14 Business Impact: The Aurena agent stops working and the users need to reinstall the Aurena agent. We have considered not using the Aurena Agent but seen to our business needs that is not an option.

Is there a way to configure/schedule a temporary approver in the the document module?
