Upgrades & Updates

Hi Community,What is required to proceed further and get past this error when trying to perform Impact Analysis from the Build Place in preparation for next release update?Thanks for helping 

I’m currently testing the 25R2 SU 4 update, and I need to raise a serious concern from a user perspective.One of the changes introduced — the new color scheme for conditional formatting in tables — is extremely problematic, especially in dark mode. The colors are now so similar that they’re practically indistinguishable. This completely defeats the purpose of conditional formatting, which is supposed to help users quickly identify important information at a glance.Frankly, this change feels like it wasn’t properly tested in real-world scenarios. If it had been tested in dark mode even once, this issue would have been immediately obvious. For users who rely on dark mode daily, this isn’t just an inconvenience — it actively disrupts workflows and increases the risk of missing critical data.

Hello everyone,I would appreciate hearing experiences from companies that migrated from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud (on-prem deployment).We are supporting a manufacturing company that has been an IFS customer for many years (starting from Apps 8, later upgraded to Apps 10) with active maintenance/support continuity. The company is now evaluating a transition to IFS Cloud while still keeping the environment on-premise.During the transition discussions, several additional subscription components and third-party requirements appeared as part of the proposed model. We are trying to better understand what is generally considered standard or mandatory in real-life upgrade projects.Especially for companies moving from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud:Were Oracle EE subscriptions mandatory? Was IFS Cloud Foundation / Remote Deployment mandatory even for on-prem installations? Were tools like BPA, Industry Lobbies, 2C8 Modelling Tool, etc. r

Version 24.1.22 I saw an older post asking if there was a way to connect multiple documents to an object, which was eventually implemented as a feature.  I was curious if there was a similar feature that allowed users to connect multiple Objects, like Inventory Parts, to a Change Request. If so, was this also implemented in 24R2, or a later version?

Hi,Is it possible to restrict a specific user to B2B access only, So that the user cannot access the aurena client and can access only the B2B client?

Hello, Is it possible to delete the filter in this dialog screen?  

Hello, we are upgrading from 11.5 to 11.8.4 and I’m testing the creation of a form, process, stage notification email (smartmail) using action processor.  when I try to close the task before the notification stage in the process, this error appears:  The Action Type 'SENDMAIL_GEDS_ATIP' is invalid for Event Type 'CHANGE'. One or more of the above errors was generated attempting to create Task Events from the process 'undefined'. There may be a configuration issue preventing you from progressing this process. If you are not sure why this is happening, please contact your administrator for further assistance.Bear in mind that the old ones from 11.5 work and I just recreated it from an old action type that does work.I believe I’ve checked everything I can to make this work.  It’s not live yet, were still in the testing stages and need to have this working before we go live.   

Just wondering if anyone knows an exact date when support for IFS cloud 24R1 ends. I can see the last SU (SU23) was released last week and I am currently testing 25R1 through the business in our test environment. Just need to get a steer on how long I can take for testing before I need to deploy to production so I am not out of support

I have reviewed the official documentation regarding Clean and Drop scripts in the upgrade process:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/070_remote_deploy/040_upgrading_system/040_deploying_upgrade/040_clean_drop_scripts/I would like to clarify whether executing the Clean and Drop scripts is considered a mandatory step in all upgrade projects, or if it is optional and dependent on specific conditions (e.g. project scope, environment, type of customization).In actual implementation projects, are there cases where these scripts are intentionally not executed, and if so, what criteria or risks are typically considered when making that decision?Any guidance or best practices from the field would be appreciated.Thank you.

Hi, I am having trouble adding conditional formatting to the Customer Order Lines for the Contribution Margin Rate column for anything less than a certain percentage. Any ideas? This is in IFS Cloud 23R1  Thanks!

Dear,As per the technical documentation, Ubuntu 22.04 is specified as the supported OS for 24R1 SU19.However, for one of our customers in remote deployment setup and current version being 24R1 SU04, the Ubuntu OS upgrade / new environment provisioning is planned approximately two months later, while we need to deploy SU19 in Production earlier to address bug fixes.In this context, we wanted to understand - 1: What is the technical impact of deploying 24R1 SU19 without upgrading the OS to Ubuntu 22.04?2: Can 24R1 SU19 continue to function on current OS Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 20.04, and if so, is this supported or only technically feasible?3: What are the key technical dependencies, limitations, or risks associated with running SU19 on these older OS versions? Thank you!

Client error is popping up with different users from time to time while performing different transactions (invoice posting, invoice authorization, project forecast, quick report etc).Error disappears after reloading the page, sign out-sign in. It doesn’t pop up all the time, occurs randomly and you can’t recreate it. Some users specify client error occurs after the page has been idle for some time.This issue started to pop up since we moved to the cloud. 

Our several customers use Oracle SE2 in IFS Cloud.However the IFS Cloud 25R1 Deprecated Features Log announced that SE2 support will become deprecated starting with 25R2 on September 2, 2025, and EE will be mandatory.Upon confirmation with IFS, we found that if SE2 remains unchanged, updating to 25R2 will result in compilation errors, and the update cannot proceed unless EE is used.After explaining this to our customers, there has been significant backlash.Being told this now makes it impossible to respond in time,but couldn't such an important announcement have been made a bit earlier?And are there any other customers experiencing difficulties? 

Hello, I was trying to apply update my IFS Cloud, which is currently in 23R1 and I want it to be updated to 23R2 and then after successful updating, move it to 24R1. But after updating the Customer Baseline Repository from 23.1.4 to 23.1.24 and creating a topic branch, when I’m trying to order the environment, I am getting a very fresh environment and all the customizations we made with custom events and pages etc. are lost. I am not sure how to implement the update from here with implementing our customizations. I f anyone can provide the documentation regarding which shows how to clone our current solution repository to topic branch and then merge it, it will be really helpful.Thanks & Regards,Mani

Hi all,We are exploring the use of Oracle Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) in our environment to support zero-downtime database changes during upgrades and deployments.I would like to understand if EBR is supported or recommended in IFS Cloud environments, particularly in scenarios involving customization or extension of database objects (e.g., projections, custom fields, or PL/SQL logic).Specifically: Does IFS Cloud officially support or restrict the use of EBR? Are there any known limitations or risks when enabling editions on schemas used by IFS? Has anyone successfully implemented EBR in an IFS environment (Apps 10 or IFS Cloud), and what was your experience? Are there recommended best practices for handling database changes without downtime in IFS, if EBR is not applicable? Any guidance or real-world experience would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,We’re currently in the process of upgrading from IFS Cloud 24R2 to 25R1, and we’ve encountered an issue related to our custom credit card interface.In version 24R2, we relied on the following procedures from DeliverCustomerOrder.plsql:Batch_Deliv_Pre_Ship_Del_Note Deliver_List_Inv_Lines___ Deliver_List_Non_Inv_Lines___However, we’ve noticed that these procedures have been removed in 25R1.We’re reaching out to ask:Were these procedures replaced with new ones or moved to a different location in the codebase? Has anyone else run into this issue during their upgrade? If so, did you find a workaround or alternative approach? What are your thoughts on us simply copying the previous versions of these procedures into our custom code

We are encountering major issues with our upgrade from 24R2 to 25R1. This is our 3rd Cloud upgrade. The first two painful upgrades we considered these may be teething problems and related to upgrading to the latest version (as IFS recommends by the way). Now we decided to be conservative and go for 25R1, just one release up and 9 Service Updates rich. IFS also confirmed they have improved supporting these upgrades. Finally, we have customizations but very little (as compared to other clients according to IFS and our implementation partner).We are now 4 days in the upgrade process and do not even have the build place working with help of IFS. One issue pops up after the other is solved. Did any of you experience similar issues? What else? What more can we expect? Should we go for 25R2? Not upgrade at all? What can you advise?

Hello everyone,I am currently working on a project to develop custom connectors for our organization to analyze and retrieve data from IFS. The functionality is comparable to solutions like Addovation, particularly in enabling the execution of Quick Reports. So far, the connectors have been performing reliably and meeting all intended requirements.As part of this initiative, I have developed two separate connectors: A Power BI connector that allows users to pull data directly from IFS and build dashboards within Power BI An Excel add-in connector that enables users to retrieve and work with the IFS data in Excel At this stage, I am looking to better understand the broader implications of maintaining custom connectors at an organizational level. Specifically, I am interested in insights related to API usage, rate limits, performance considerations, governance, security, and long-term maintenance.The solution has b

Hi Team,I’m looking for a complete example of a DDLSOURCE file, as the link in the IFS documentation appears to be broken (404 error):docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r2/060_development/027_base_server_dev/225_reduced_downtime_delivery/020_code_changes/007_concepts/090_source_code_file/ddlsource_files.mdDuring the 25R2 upgrade, the documentation states that all code from the .cre file should be added to the .ddlsource file. However, when I attempt to deploy, I’m encountering the following error: Thank you, Best Reagrds,Bhanuka

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.cdbIs it Ok to execute those scripts before actual run of installer or is there some better solution for that?
