Dear Community, Indemnity is a new functionality in IFS. In the case of using it in Sales Contracts:Would it be possible to :1- Explain the usage of “Indemnity” in IFS and if there is any impact in the system (account postings,calculation,...) or it’s for only a repository? 2- clarify functionally the meaning of “Requirement Basis” and “Requires value” ? What are their utility ? and why we are using these fields at the level of the request for indemnity ? Thank you in advance for your help.Regards,Hajar

Hello.  Would there happen to be some documents (possibly white papers) with examples and screen prints of the key differences (upgrades) between Apps 9 and Apps 10 available?  These could be marketing style high-level datasheets that present the key differences that a customer would be able to easily review for the most common user modules.  Thank you for your assistance.   Joel Cisco

Until IFS10, each time an update was released, various documents such as NEWS about the update were published on the Partner Portal.Whenever a Release Update or Service Update for IFS Cloud is released, NEWS and other information is published at the URL below.<https://ifs.sharepoint.com/sites/IFSCloudProdInfo>However, I cannot find the following document which was available before IFS10.　InterfaceReference_Report_UPDXX.xlsx　IFS Applications Upgrade Enhancement IndexIFSAPP10UPDXX.xlsx If we are trying to Upgrade to IFS Cloud from a previous version, we will need the above documents.If anyone is aware of any materials like the above on IFS Cloud, we would appreciate it if you could provide them.

ENVIRONMENT: IFS Cloud 22 R1 Service Update 3 AUDIENCE: All RESOLUTION/ANSWER:While installing the Release Update (22.1.3) to the customer environment, The update was not successful, and The installer just stopped at step “Remove_Inactive_Metadata”.From the Root cause analysis, it looks like the problem is in the procedure Insert_Navigation_Entries (FndNavigator) due to the amount of data in fnd_navigator_structure_tab and fnd_navigator_entry_tab (approx. 1100000 rows). WORKAROUND: Unpublish the custom navigation entries from the application and continue with the update.Solution: RnD confirmed that this is fixed with 22.1.6 CAUSE: N/AADDITIONAL INFORMATION: N/ASCRIPTS/LOGS: N/A SOURCE: Shehan Chandrasekara VERIFIED:

Hi All We are currently investigating a DR scenario whereby we recover IFS. Due to the requirements of the scenario we need to change the name of the Application Server - e.g. if it is called ifsapp1 we need to recover it to a new server called ifsapp2. We are confident in our steps to recover the database but the application server is proving trickier. We have been able to create a new application server from a backup of the current application server and we have renamed the server itself. Where we are struggling is updating the configuration for IFS to pick up the name change of the server. We have tried updating the following files,  replacing the "old" Application Server to the "new" Application Server name, but this has not been enough:E:\IFS\IFSExt\IFSD\instance\IFSD    IFSD_configuration.xml    build.properties    IFSD_configuration_delivery.xmlE:\IFS\IFSExt\IFSD\instance\IFSD\bin   mws.propertiesE:\IFS\IFSExt\IFSD\instance\IFSD\conf   login.config Any help or advice would be gr

Has anyone heard of the End of Life for the IEE platform.  We are in the process of implementing IFS and don’t think that the Aurena platform has all of the mature functionality of IEE. If IEE is going to be around for the next 3-4 years I would lean to implementing the more mature platform than be a gunnie pig for a new platform.    

Dear All,We are working with one of our customer to rollout the application 9 in country of Romania and we found the translations for various reports in local currency is not available, any idea, can we get the translation file for Romania to import into IFS9 application or how to get the file for import?

My company is having an issue. At the moment, we are testing APPS10 with an expected go live date in November. Since testing, with a very limited set of users, we have noticed that some are getting .dll errors for pages they frequent. One day during testing they can see it, the next they can’t. In apps 9, the user could technically cause a .dll error if they cancel out of the download at the bottom when they first go to the page. In 10, there is no cancel button available when downloading the package to view the page (good improvement). We did some testing. While troubleshooting I moved the .dll file that the page was complaining about to a separate folder > went to “download all packages” > IFS realized it was missing 1 package and downloaded it > but we still can’t see the page until we delete everything out of the 2.0 folder. The only help I’ve gotten from IFS is to clear the cache which is essentially the equivalent of an uninstall/reinstall of the instance since it delete

After running the upgrade script from IFS7.5 to IFS10, when I checked SHOP_OPER_CLOCKING_TAB, the data was deleted and SHOP_OPER_CLOCKING_120 was created.SHOP_OPER_CLOCKING is a breaking change in functionality, so column mapping is not possible.Is there a good way to migrate SHOP_OPER_CLOCKING_TAB data when upgrading from IFS7.5 to IFS10?

Selecting creation of new build homeUpgrading a solution (APPS9) to IFS cloud. Have an Active build place for remote deployment. Go to create a new build home and the error ‘Implimentation mode update request failed’ come up when clicking apply.

How can end users view quick reports in Aurena. Looks like there is no way for the end user to view Quick Reports the way that they can in IEE. Also curious how to create a quick report in Aurena, currently, it looks like this is also not possible like it is in IEE.

After we updated to IFS 10 Update 14, when we are creating sales quotations with configurable parts on it, when we walk through the Configuration options the configuration never goes into a complete status. We found a work around of Parking the configuration and then we are able to RMB on it and Complete the configuration.

HiInstallation of IFS 9 on windows 2016 worked pretty well except F1 Help does not work. Probably some security on servers or networks. Has anyone encountered it before?  Ideas are appreciated./Håkan
