Upgrades & Updates

With the FSM updates being posted within days of release here:https://community.ifs.com/fsm-product-updates-114and the PSO updates being posted within days of release here:https://community.ifs.com/pso-product-updates-116How do we subscribe to be notified when a new release comes out so we can review release notes, etc? I cannot find a way to subscribe, any RSS or similiar on the page, etc. Or even better can request to join an distribution list to be notified of updates?

I have a customer who has a page configuration that is showing as behind.  When I go to Page Designer the rebase icon shows, but when I go to work on it there are no changes showing for the baseline. I only see the custom attributes on the configuration side.  How do I get this page to be “up to date” with all the custom attributes no it?

Hello All -The company where I work will be upgrading from Apps 8 to Apps10 in a few months.  We are looking for best practices and approaches for the actual Go-Live weekend.  If you have gone through a major upgrade with IFS, we would like to hear about your go live experiences. 

We have setup templates for certain LUs as below I wanted to migrate these templates to another environment and make changes to the save templates. Seems like IFS does not allow this from the IFS screens. Is there anyway someone has already found to not only migrate these templates but also make changes?

Curious as if anyone knows of a known issue in IFS10 regarding a SQL quick report used in a custom menu with bundle execution check box set.I have the same custom menu and sql quick report functioning in IFS9, but in IFS10 we get the error “Failed executing statement (ORA-00920: invalid relational operator” which is the same as any where clause error for invalid relational operator. Has the operator changed in IFS10 (&) or is there a permissions set needing to be updated?Thank you.

Please correct me if I'm wrong: Astea would be integrated in IFS Cloud.I have somewhere read that there would be more information on this at the end of May2-2023.I've just checked the Roadmap Spring 23 - 24: the word ‘Astea’ and/or 'Alliance’ are not mentioned.Can someone give me an idea if integration will be done and if a milestone plan is available if it will be integrated.

Hey everyone,I have been tasked with documenting our customizations and configurations and I am hoping the community can help with something. I am starting with our custom fields.  The idea is to hand a document over to the business and have them tell us if the field is still needed/used. In order for the business to make that decision, they will need to know every instance of use of that custom field.  I am trying to track down any and everything that has a dependency on the custom field.  We want to ensure that we do not break anything the business is still relying on by getting rid of the custom field.Basically, anything “downstream” of the custom field that is dependent on the existence of the custom field.   For example:Events/Event Actions that use the custom field Lobby Data Sources  Database packages, stored procedures, functions, etc. All types of reports Operational Reports Quick Reports

Hi Folks, Quick question: Is there any way to zoom the screens in IFS version 8.0

Recently a manufacture retired their manufacture no (#) and it needs to be updated on over 900 IFS Part No(#)’s.Is there a way of doing a mass update on the Part Master Data> Master Part> Part Manufacture>Maunufature Part Numbers screen or another area in IFS?Thanks!

Hi,We are applying UPD 18 to a customer and facing some issues in build. _ant_compile & _ant_generatedb fails due to missing java files, fragments, projections in multiple components.I have tried with a clean build as well but still these errors occur. Most of these missing files have been updated in earlier UPD version for example UPD5 (or base even)  but not in UPD18. _ant_generatedb errors example _ant_compile errors example Has any of you come across any similar issue? Really appreciate if anyone can give some insights as in what might be wrong and what needs to be done to correct it.  Thank you./Nija

We are trying to show some simple stats to push for an upgrade to cloud.The cost difference is huge and it would be good to show how many are making the leap. Especially per country or version!  Does anyone have any good stats I could share?

Hello, We are running on Apps 10 and use Crystal Reports for some things. Once in a while, we have a hiccup on print manager where jobs are stuck. The only solution we have found is to restart the print server and then restart the jobs once they go into an error status. Does anyone have a faster solution to this when it happens. It’s annoying to have to restart the server each time. Thanks!
