We recently completed an upgrade from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud 25R2 and encountered two items that did not appear to migrate as expected.
1. Custom RDL Report Layouts
The custom Report Layout definitions were present after the upgrade, however the associated client-developed RDL binaries were not available in the target IFS Cloud environment. As a result, the layouts existed but the report content itself had to be redeployed.
Questions:
- Is it expected that custom RDL binaries are not migrated as part of the Apps10 to IFS Cloud upgrade process?
- If so, what is the recommended migration approach for customer-developed RDL binaries?
- Are there any prerequisites or upgrade steps that would cause the binaries to be excluded during migration?
2. Custom Lobby Data Sources
We also observed that customer-developed Lobby Data Sources from Apps10 were not present after the upgrade to IFS Cloud. Standard functionality appears intact, but the custom data sources had to be recreated manually.
Questions:
- Is the migration of custom Lobby Data Sources supported during an Apps10 to IFS Cloud upgrade?
- Are there limitations based on the Data Source type (View, SQL, IAL, etc.)?
- Is there a documented process for migrating or recreating custom Lobby Data Sources in IFS Cloud?
We are primarily trying to determine whether this is expected upgrade behavior or whether additional migration steps should have been performed.
Any guidance from others who have completed an Apps10 → IFS Cloud upgrade would be greatly appreciated.
