Upgrades & Updates

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?

Recently i came across this issue on clustered environment. I did Application restart, DB Restart and session kills nothing resolved this Even this Session is locked by ifs. But no pending changes exist. Release configuration to allow edit. | IFS Community didn't resolve this. I managed to resolve this by running reconfiguration.

Hi In Aurena, is it possible to make a field change colour based on content. We are simply trying to replicate Sticky Notes, which have disappeared in the Cloud, by creating a custom filed, then populating with data from our Apps9 db as part of the upgrade we are undertaking, and highlighting the field in Yellow if it has content. Thanks in advance, Tim

HiMy customer is planning to upgrade from version 23r1 to 24r2 and is seeking a smooth way to manage projection changes post-upgrade. Do we have a recommended approach for this? During their last upgrade, they encountered a significant challenge with a long list of affected projections—numbering in the thousands. The individual responsible for handling the granting process faced considerable difficulties, as each modified projection required re-granting. /Maliha

We are experiencing approximately 5,656 SFTP connection attempts daily from IFS application to an external sftp server (AccessPay). The SFTP connection is always enabled and configured for bank reconciliations. Is this level of connection frequency typical for IFS Cloud environments? Is it normal for IFS Connect Reader to continuously connect to an external SFTP server to read files?

Hello Community, Our Business has run into an issue where we ended up with 2 Invalid Objects that can no longer be compiled, where IFS provides and Application Error.

I am currently in the midst of testing the IFS Cloud IFS Connect Reader using SFTP. While I have conducted several successful tests with the known host file, I have encountered an issue when using the private key-public key pair. I am unsure whether this is a bug in the application or if someone has successfully used the private key to read an SFTP location via the IFSCloud Connect Reader. I would greatly appreciate any insights or comments on this matter.

I have been working for several months to upgrade our databases from 12c to 19c, but I am stuck on a particular issue that I cannot seem to resolve. I chose the manual method (expdp/impdp) as this is what is endorsed by IFS and recommended by the consultants. We get 2500+ errors during the import, most of which, the consultants stated can be ignored as they are 12c objects that are no longer in 19c, however, there are a handful of errors that reference our app owner and I feel they are related: Error during import: dbms_scheduler.enable('"PROCESS_ALL_PENDING"');COMMIT; END;ORA-39083: Object type PROCOBJ:""."RUN_JOB" failed to create with error:ORA-06550: line 8, column 265:PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist Upon completion of the import phase, then installation of IFS, Batch Queues cannot be “Reinitialized” as they produce the error: "appowner".

Hi All, I am looking for the release notes of the above service update. We have it scheduled in a couple of weeks. searched through the community but couldn't find a link to the above SU. Can you please advise? Thanks,Asela

We are in the progress of planning the update from IFS Cloud 24R1 to 24R2. At the same time we would like to apply SU3. I have searched far and wide for guidelines but came up short. Our rough plan now is to first apply the RU and then apply the SU before creating the delivering to Use Place. Is there any best practices or guidelines available? Does anyone like to share their experiences?

We have previously taken a Out-of-band (OOB) fix for a critical bug that has been resolved in a SU. We have taken the SU when it was release. Before taking the SU, we obsoleted the files in our solution repository. Is it possible for us to completely remove the customisation files now after we have taken the SU and we are back on “core level” for these entities? This will obviously also apply for any other customisation, not only for OOBs.

Where can I find information about when IFS 10 Update 27 will be released? Also is there any information about if an Update 28 will be released?
