IFSAPP.Error_SYS.Record_General in Aurena

We use lots of custom events that alert users of input issues.They work fine in IEE, but in Cloud not the full message is displayed.Example:MyErrorMessage_:= 'Not sellable tail parts: ' || catalog_no_;IFSAPP.Error_SYS.Record_General('', MyErrorMessage_);will display only the values in catalog_no

Has anyone had this sort of issue or have a way to deal with it?Production (UPD 13): SND/PPR (UPD 22):

Move IFS_HOME from one server to another

I have a virtualized instance of IFS Apps 10 running under vmWare workstation on my laptop, fully updated to UPD18 and, as a time saver, wondered if there was a proven and safe way to “move” this copy of IFS_HOME (the middleware server folder structure) from one server to another? If anyone has any experience with this process, please share as I do not relish starting over on the new server. Regards,Bob

Crystal Reports uplift from Apps 10 to Cloud

We are working with a customer upgrading from Apps 10 to Cloud. I notice that in the report definitions the crystal rpt files are not assigned against the report definitions, other than manually uploading the files for each definition and report is there a quicker way of matching the rpt files with their definitions?

IFS Cloud Deliveries and Updates

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?

Where did the middle tier image download go that used to exist under "manage deployments"

We are currently working on upgrading to 23.2.6 (remote deployment).  The middle tier server image files are no longer showing under “manage deployments” in the LE build place.  Our current application version 23.2.0 is running on OVA 2.0.1, but I’m pretty sure I saw that new SUs were running a newer middle tier version before we lost access to the dropdown list previously showing under manage deployments.  The bootstrap and binary downloads are still there, but the OVA dropdown seems to have been replaced by Oracle version package downloads.  Any idea where they went?

Apps 10 Aurena Permission sets vs IFS Cloud Permission sets

Hi All,Anyone with experience in upgrading from IFS Apps 10 Aurena Permission sets to IFS Cloud permission sets?  Is it a full rework or can it be upgraded?I know if it is IFS EE to IFS Cloud then it is a complete redo, but guessing we can salvage a lot from Aurena permission sets to Cloud permission sets.Regards,Malik

Query Flags and Default Values in Quick Reports in IFS Cloud

I’d like to get an official statement from IFS when the Query Flags and Default Values functionalities for Quick Reports become available in IFS Cloud. Since these functionalities are part of the official Technical Documentation for Cloud – saying they are currently unavailable – I suppose that sooner or later they will be (re)implemented in Cloud as well.Quick Reports - Technical Documentation for IFS Cloud - We have a bunch of Quick Reports in Apps 10 with query flags and default values included, and the usage of these functions (specially the multi-selection and LoV options) save a lot of working time for our users every day, so we’d like to use these in Cloud too as soon as possible.

Windows upgrade from WS2016 to WS2022

Hello, we have IFS UPD20 running on Windows Server 2016 and need to upgrade to Windows Server 2022. Is an in-place upgrade supported or is a clean install preferred. Obviously a lot more work to re-install everything. I asked this question through support and was directed to this community forum.
