This error appears in the POSTING CONTROL DETAILS window when editing Requisitioner Id. Error while serializing contents. This error happens when the server cannot serialize the data to be sent to the client. A common cause is that one attribute's length exceeds the defined maxlength in the projection. To find more info, open Log Window or Debug Console, refresh and then check Network Tab in DevTools. In the response there can be more detailed information about the exception.

We have purchased some LTU licenses and I have uploaded these permission sets into our IFS Cloud environment. Can anyone tell me if I need to get an updated version of these LTU permission sets for Service Updates? I am aware I need to ask for updated permission set for Release Updates, but unsure if I need to do the same for Service Updates. If it is dependent on if the Service Update affects that particular area the LTU covers, is there an easy way to check to identify this?

Is there any offical anouncement which is about the IFS Oracle support for Oracle 21c (ai) database?

Hi, Has anyone found a way to convert saved searches in IEE client to Aurena Client/IFS Cloud? We are currently working on upgrading IFS 10 UPD 22 version to IFS Cloud. Users are heavily relying on saved searches to manage their daily tasks. At present, there are over 5,000 saved searches across both Base and personal profiles. After the Go-Live, users will undoubtedly be disappointed to find that their saved searches are missing in IFS Cloud. It is surprising that IFS has entirely overlooked upgrading saved searches into IFS Cloud. This topic has been discussed about two years ago, IFS IEE to Aurena Saved Searches | IFS Community I'm re-posting this topic to see if anyone has found a workaround for this issue over the past couple of years. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this matter. Thanks, Thilochana

Hello, As we began applying the Release Update 24R2, we noticed that a new component, WRKTSK, has been introduced as part of this release. Several APIs (entities, utilities, and enumerations) have been moved from the existing WO component to WRKTSK. We have customized approximately 30 APIs from this list, and now we need to uplift these APIs from WO to WRKTSK. Could you please advise on the best approach to carry out this task? While using the Impact Analyzer tool, we noticed that the results don't provide sufficient comparison details (screenshot attached for reference). Additionally, we are unable to find a way to download all the core files of 24R2 to analyze how the WRKTSK files have impacted our customizations. Has anybody experienced similiar issues? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

After the latest release 24R2 V4 - the following error is encountered on all the pages so the system is non useable? “Failed to retrieve metadata due to internal error” in the details …. ProjectDefinition/Form (server error) Sorry, there was an unexpected server error.OData Request ID: 0e03400d-1f4f-4bcb-9dfa-277ca3561170 Please include the full details of this error (Details button below) when reporting this. … any ideas / fix. I tried dictionary cache clearing - I suspect a IFS bug but no harm in me asking if someone has a golden ticket answer. TIA

There is problem with the R24...cdb -scripts which are not executed and therefor some database alters are not in place. The unexecuted scripts are in component folders and named like 24R2-SU02.cdb or 24R2-GA.cdbexample:ifsremote\ifsroot\deliveries\buildhome_24_2_2\database\apppay\24R2-GA.cdb Is it Ok to execute those scripts before actual run of installer or is there some better solution for that?

One of our customers upgraded to 24R2 recently. The release upgrade started on 1/22/2025 and build place was updated on 3/7/2025. Now, in their Build place (DEV) environment, the application version and framework version are different. However, in the relevant TEST (useplace) environment both application and framework versions are the same. Could you please clarify, How something like this could have happened What is the impact this will have on future deliveries/fixes. What can be done to get the useplace and prod environments to the same framework version as dev.

What are the most missing functions by users?

Hello everyone, Some data fields update automatically without user interaction, while others require manual confirmation. Why does this behavior differ, and is there a way to configure it globally so that user interaction is always required, regardless of the field? Thanks and best regards

Hi, we have raised this with IFS (case CS0336328) but we don’t know if we will get a fast enough response so are trying this route. We have tried to upgrade the Build Place for MYDentist to 24R2 UPD3 and experienced an error immediately. This project is on a critical time line and is being managed hour by hour, so every minute counts. Hope someone from IFS running the Clinic can assist us to move this issue forward. Best Regards, Steve Barker

Hi,I’m seeking some guidance on Report Studio. This looks like a good tool for working with report layouts within IFS Cloud. I have picked up that there might be some limitations when working with custom fields and possibly with printing of these .rep reports. Can anyone share their experience on these limitations?Also, I checked the 24R2 and 25R1 Roadmap and do not see Report Studio mentioned. Should we expect updates to the Report Studio functionality in upcoming Releases and/or Service Updates?Thanks

Hi, We have two seperate environments installed on different servers - IFS9 and IFS10 UPD23. When handling 200 application messages in IFS9 it takes around 3 minutes. If we handling exactly the same amount of application messages in the same queues and routing rules and messages it takes around 40 minutes in Application 10. Can someone help me to understand where do we start investigating this issue? Restarting application messages also takes time in IFS10. Here is a compare from a restart in app9 and app10. App10 - Duration 1303ms App9 - 312ms

Hello everyone, I have a question about upgrade from version 10 to Cloud. This week, we received information from the IFS partner company, which is our implementation, that the licensing in IFS is changing and if we do not want to move to Cloud, the license fee for the currently used version 10 will be increased by 50% year annually :) On the other hand, if we decide to move to the Cloud, it is not considered an upgrade covered by the licensing fee but is instead treated as the implementation of a completely new ERP system, with full implementation costs. I wanted to ask how this looks on your company, because I don't want to believe in that , we have invested many millions in the system, modifications, staff training and here now such a twist. Please let me know if you know something Thanks!

I’m interested in getting some feedback from others that are on IFS Cloud regarding your experiences with major releases, service updates, and deliveries. I wanted to include multiple questions/polls, but the forum will only let me include one poll. If you’d like to answer these additional questions by responding in the comments would be greatly appreciated. #2 - How many major releases, service updates, or custom deliveries have you performed on your IFS Cloud (PRD) environment in the last 24 months? #3 - Do you regularly install service updates or major releases and version releases only? If service updates, some or all? #4 - How often has a delivery failed for you in one of the environments while the other environments were successful (e.g. A delivery is successful in CFG and UAT environments, but fails in PRD environment OR successful in CFG and then fails in UAT.) in the past 3/6/12 months?
