Upgrades & Updates

Hi All, During the Order Delivery step in Release update Studio (upgrade from 23.2.4 to 24.1.4), delivery fails due to installation errors in FNDBAS (I attach the log).There are a whole bunch of errors including missing columns in tables from FNDBAS (in dictionary_sys_tab for example). Customizations have not touched this area. More strangely, this earlier as well as later creation of TOP environments from Release Update Studio (and thus theoretically based on the same code from the repository) succeeds.Also successful is the Sanity Build run, which was performed just before the failed delivery creation (DEL environment installation).Update 23.2.4 to 24.1.4 is run by the customer team.Unsuccessful attempts to create DEL were made by him 3 times, as well as we did it afterward with similar results. Have you had to deal with a similar situation, or do you have any idea what could be the cause?I would appreciate any suggestion.Thank you and Best Regards,Krzysztof Błaszczak (TSM | IFS)

Hi, where can I find the IFS Apps 9 UPD16 patch (or newer) to manually deploy it on our system? Thank you in advance and have a great day!Best Regards, Florian

I would like some clarification for the process of installing the IFS Business Reporter add-in for Excel under Apps 10 (UPD20). Based on the “Add-ins” page, there are two options, the .MSI installer or the “Click-once” installer. Upon further investigation (technical documentation), there is also a “SETUP.EXE” that can be found in the “BUILD_HOME” delivery (under ...\build_home\win32client\IFS Business Reporter\Install). I am unable to get any of these to work properly (all exhibiting different symptoms). The most recent attempt was to run every installer that was linked on the “Add-ons” page (i.e. https://server:port/add-ons.html), and it seems to work, but still throws an error stating the the “upgrade utility not found”. Does anyone have any advice on how they use BR and how they installed the “add-on”?

Hi, We are have a Proof-Of-Concept running with IFS Cloud Remote on IFS version 24R1 on top of three ubuntu 20.04 LTS OS VM's, that is setup as a clustered solution and with NLB in front of them (so each can be disabled and taken out for a period of time) I have looked around after documentation on how to perform VM maintenance, but not found anything… I know that IFS patching and upgrading needs a dedicated maintenance window where the IFS platform is offline for the users, while the installation and reinstallation of the configuration is done. What is the recommendation on how to patching (none-IFS-applications and OS pathing) and reboots of the ubuntu VM's below the IFS platform?We would like to be able to regular VM maintenance without interfering with the pods or user access to the environment on top. Best regardsCarl-Marius

Hello,Our company switched from using IFS V9 to V10. The V9 version is still open and accessible. When we want to use the database as read only, IFS gives the error I added.

We have discovered that our IFSCloud database server is currently running 1 hour behind the local time, resulting in a 1-hour time difference between the server and the local time.I would like to know if adjusting the server time while the environment is up and running could cause any issues. Has anyone encountered this situation before? If so, what precautions should we take when correcting the server time to avoid any potential impact on the system or database performance?Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

We are a remote install and currently need outages several times per month to deploy new code to our PROD environment.Would HA provide a solution for this that could eliminate the need for deployment outages? What would the benefits of HA in our situation?

We are facing issue while we are stopping the env Received error message from Node Manager Server: [Server kill command for WebLogic server 'MainServer1' failed due to: [Waited for the process to finish for 20,000 millis, without success.

Hi All,Customer is upgrading from IFS Application 10 to IFS Cloud 24R1.We are looking for 24R1 Upgrade “Technical Upgrade Task list – IFS Cloud” or the “Upgrade kit deployment guide”. 

We updated our IFS PROD environment to IFS v10, UPD 22 (from UPD 12). A user this morning reported that in Quick Reports - once you've queried/populated a report, and if you RMB on the lines and choose "Export to Excel", that option does not work. All it does is bring up the query window again.  After a report populates (any report), and I RMB on the line items and choose "Export to Excel", it just brings up the query window again. The user reported that this functionality was working prior to the update to UPD22. We are aware of the SQL limitation mentioned in the IFS Community Forum, and checked the Query. For the report we checked (and all other reports) it does start with SELECT. We've found that you can successfully use the RMB > Export to Excel from the Quick Reports top folder (before viewing the report in IFS), but that it will not work from within the report - if you view the report in IFS first, then RMB on the line items > Export to Excel. It will just reopen the query

Due to internal network restructuring, the Windows host of our on-premise IFS Apps 10 is going to be having a change of IP address.With the obvious DNS updates catered for already, will changing the IP address of the host affect the running of any of our IFS software? Is there a known recommended safe documented way to do this ensuring that the IFS software doesn’t break?Thanks - Jon

I have 2 users getting this error when they use F3. We have cleared the App_data and also cleared cache. It doesn’t go away but happens only once in a while.

Hello,We are about to begin an upgrade project from IFS9 to IFS Cloud. Originally, the project was scheduled to start in January, but it was delayed due to planning on the customer's end. During January, we had already set the upgrade build home to version 23.2.5.With the release of 24R1, we are considering performing a release update on the lifecycle portal and recreating a new build home for the upgrade from IFS9. However, we are concerned about whether this update will impact the upgrade scripts that are currently set in the 23.2.5 build home.Has anyone encountered a similar situation, and could you provide advice on the best steps forward?Thank you,Hardik

I work for a consultancy company, around 13 months ago we installed our own hosted versions of IFS10 and PSO. Both of these solutions are hosted on Azure, they are key in helping us work with our IFS customers. They are used for proof of concepts, demonstrations and learning. These environments are non-productive and used to help us sell IFS products and build solutions for customers.I joined the company 11 months ago after these environments were setup, I’m confused with the process of how to keep these environments up to date with new releases. I’ve spoken with our partner success contact and they are not sure on the process. I’ve created a ticket with Osca under our partner account, this ticket was closed once it got passed to support and I'm unable to see the progress of it.From training I've done on IFS academy I've seen updates become available via an FTP portal? I know how to install these updates, just unsure on how to get them. Please could someone help point me in the right d

Hi All, We are in the process of migrating from APPS8 to IFS Cloud and I’m having trouble updating a particular user profile so that I can use it to access IFS Cloud. I have chosen one of the simplest users (minimal screens/functions available) which requires minimal modifications.I have allocated the appropriate, I think, Projections to a Permission set for this user but when I try to log on I get a number of popup windows with errors relating to Profile and Person info.See below:- Can anyone point me in the right direction to help resolve my difficulties with logging on to IFS Cloud please? Cheers,Neil.
