Support for Oracle 19c in IFSAPP 10

Hello Information in “IFS Applications 10 Supported Platforms” says that there are planned support for Oracle 19c in IFSAPP 10 UPD6 (and higher). Can an IFS person verify that it is reality, and still not a plan. IF still a plan when will the app10 be supported on Oracle 19c

Upgrade from IFSv9 to v10

I recall when moving to IFS Apps v9, we were sold on the fact that future version upgrades would be much easier! We moved from IFSv7.5 to IFSv9 in early 2018. Although it went without a hitch, it was no small project from an IT or Business point of view. We now see that IFsv9 is nearing the end of its standard 5 year support phase, moving into extended support in Mar 2020 (We were obviously a bit late to the v9 party!). Is there anyone out there who have upgraded from v9 to v10. Was this a straight forward upgrade? Did you stay with your original Oracle version? What was the impact on users? Vague request for information I know, so happy to receive vague discussion/answers. FYI: We are a manufacturing business, multiple sites worldwide, around 400 users, Hosted on-prem, Oracle 12c. Cheers Mike

Tip: IFS Applications - Restricted Support Phase

A question that comes up regularly is “what does restricted support mean”?  To start let’s remind ourselves that the maintenance agreement is applicable to the licensed IFS Application and not a specific version.  Customers with an active maintenance agreement have access to the latest version available and maintenance is delivered in full for that version (standard support phase).  Support is always delivered for the version a customer has in productive use however, if this version is under restricted support, there are limitations in the maintenance deliverables.  In order to explain the details a bit more we need to look at two of the many objectives of a software maintenance agreement.   Firstly ‘support’ is the reactive engagement to receive, accept and handle a case where a customer has encountered a problem.  This problem is investigated and analysed, assistance to service restoration is provided and path to resolution is determined.  In cases where the cause of this issue is an

Recommended approach

Hi! A different project within the organization is implementing Applications 10 (A10), an engagement which involves both an upgrade (from v8), reimplementation of some features and utilization of new features. That implementation project is pressed for time and has little capacity to help others. While I am on a different project that is supposed to consume Asset and Resource data from IFS and then write back status updates (e.g. equipment shutdown/upgrades with according workforce reservations during planned periods). We are on a different schedule and will have to specify high-level design BEFORE the other project are ready to contribute much. Our integration this shall happen programatically, i.e. via application-to-application/machine-to-machine (A2A/M2M), e.g. via API/ReST/JSON pattern.  Now my question is this: Where do I look to learn more about recommended approaches/discussions of design choices, please? Bst rgds from André T.

Updates and Configuration Analyzer

With Updates becoming main vehicle for delivery of fixes and new functionality for IFS Applications there is a greater need for our Customers and Partners to be able to validate impact of merged Update on configurations they have developed. This has been made possible from Update 6 for Application 9 and RTM release of Applications 10. However up to very recently it involved help from IFS Global Update Team who could include export of configurations developed by Customer and/or Partner during Update Analysis and provide list of impacted areas. From second half of 2019 we have even better solution for dealing with Update impact analysis on developed configuration. IFS Product Development made it possible with IFS Configuration Analyzer. Now Customers and Partners can perform impact analysis at any point in time – before, during or after delivery of Update delivery. Tool will present impacted configuration in a list that shows type of impact and allows to export that information to Excel.
