APPS 10 UPD3 to UPD7 UPGRADE

Hi, We are upgarding APPS10-UPD3 to UPD7. When we are deploying it from Installer it is working fine without any issue and and no invalid objects. Its successful. But when we are deploying it manually using install.tem, there are issue and the upgrade is failing. Is there any more scripts we need to execute before the install.tem? If yes what are those and please share the sequence also to execute it.   Thanks & Regards Shitanshu Sharan

IFS2003 - missing executable

Don’t laugh - I know, 2003, yeah!   Does anyone have a copy of the Data Import executable that allows you to load in new records, and update existing data in IFS2003. I cannot remember the name of it. Since my laptop rebuild, I have lost it! IFS support didn’t want to know. Thanks in advance.   TIm

Std Report migration from IFS v8 to v10

hi, We are upgrading to V10, current standard reports in 8 needed to be imported to 10. Some suggested the version change is not an issue just needed to update the layout in 10. We have minor customisation on these reports and don't have developer license so cant do any changes to run in version 10.  Will the reports work as it is in v10 if no customisation done in v8 reports with customisation what are the chances report may work in 10 thank you

Make events work on both apps 9 and 10 when tables are different

Hi all, We have an event on shopord.work_instruc_printed (apps9).   When testing on apps10, we realize that the field, work_instruc_printed, does not exists. We obviously have to rewrite the event, but can we somehow have it work on both 9 and 10?

How many customisations does your IFS setup use?

Has anyone heavily customised IFS apps 9 to suit their business? we are looking to upgrade from Apps 9 to Apps 10 in the next year and am wondering if we will lose any functionality from our customisations. Has anyone had any major problems moving from apps 9 to 10? Am considering a customisation freeze  to make sure the process has as less need for regression testing. Perhaps am being over cautious? we have a number of improvement requests to streamline IFS for the business and don’t want to stifle potential time/effort saving initiatives.   Thanks

CSV Export Row Restrictions

Hi everyone,  we are currently upgrading from APPS9 to APPS10. Today I tried to export the Overview Part Cost History as a CSV-File in our IFS10 test environment.  I got an error saying that I can only export a maximum of 10000 rows.    Does anybody know how to expand the row limit for a CSV-Export? I never got that message on IFS9.   Thanks in advance.

Operational Report development question

Apps 7.5 had a cool enhancement to Operational Reporting called ‘iPrinting’ which was a UK customisation. It allowed additional data to be pulled into a report layout which could then be used by Report Designer. This feature appeared to disappear by the time Apps 9 came along and I wondered whether anyone has come across this? Custom Fields offer some assistance but what they do not provide is ‘sub queries’ of data. e.g. Customer Invoices lines report the Lot/Batch Number of the invoice qty but I want to then show a break down of that quantity across the batches. This would require a sub-query of the inventory transaction history or something to show the separate lot ref and qty. I used to be able to do this using iPrinting but I can’t see way to do it with custom fields. Anyone got any ideas?

How do you manage improvement requests?

We are running Apps 9 and have a number of improvements requested by the business, most simple things like referenced fields and events but am aware with the need to move to Apps10 that these little tweaks may not work as expected in the latest version. How do you guys manage your improvements? - Is it a free-for-all or do you follow a process?

Android Account Manager 10 Error

When attempting to setup the account in Account Manager 10 for our test environment on my android pad, I get the error:  Exception:  Offline.  The steps that produce the error are: Load Account Manager 10 Click ‘Create account’ Type in the System ID Type in the TAS URL Click ‘Done’ This routes to our SSO login page Type in UserID Type in Password Click ‘Done’ And that is where I receive the error.  I have successfully setup the Account on my Android phone without any issues.  My pad is Android 7 (fully updated, can’t go to a newer release) and my phone is Android 10. I have checked and verified that the System ID, URL, UserID and Password have been entered correctly.  If I go directly to the URL I login without issue to the customer portal. Any suggestions on what it might be?

Control Plans - Allowed Values in Min-Max Fields

IFS 8 allowed the use of alpha values in the Outer Min and Outer Max fields on control plan parameters that had an attribute data type.  This does not appear to be the case in IFS 10. These values did not carry forward in the conversion script from IFS 8 to IFS 10 and when we attempt to add manually in IFS 10, we get a ‘Field Format is Invalid’ message.  Is there any configuration that is available that would enable the use of alpha values in the Min and Max fields.  Thank you.

Baseline a Project - Activity and Subproject Level

Baseline a Project - Activity and Subproject Level I though IFS 10 gave us the capability to BASELINE planned hours/cost on a project at both the subproject and activity level. Is that not the case? We can only seem to do it at the project level.

Scrapping a parent object in IFS10

It looks like it is not allowed to only scrap the parent object without scrapping each of the child first. Getting this Error Message when trying to scrap ….”All child objects in the structure must be scrapped before scrapping the parent”.  We are using SM objects and also upgraded to IFS 10.  It was possible to scrap this kind of parts in IFS9.  Is there any settings we have missed or has this function been changed in IFS10?

Apps 8 to 10 - Facilities Management

Hello, We are considering an update from IFS Apps 8 to 10 and would be interested to receive guidance, feedback and lessons learned for companies using a similar industry and setup as ourselves.  We are a FM company so the emphasis is very much on the service side of IFS. We currently use the majority of Service and Maintenance module including Mobile Work Orders, 360/PSO, Route Work Orders and standard Work Orders.  In addition business support modules are also used Procurement, Financials, HR and Payroll. We have a fair few custom objects (Fields, Menus, Events) that have been developed over the last 4 years in addition to supporting custom Oracle APIs.  Anyone who feels they cover all or some of the above areas and has gone through the upgrade or in progress, please can you share your thoughts Many thanks Shaun

Q&A from Webinar: Upgrades and Path to Evergreen

If you attended our Webinar: Upgrades and Path to Evergreen, here’s the Q&A. You can watch the webinar here, if you missed it!    Q: What is a CRIM? A: Configurations, Reports, Integrations and Modifications   Q: Is it possible to upgrade to IFS 2020 R1 if you're not currently on Apps 10? What are the additional challenges, if any? A: Yes, it’s possible to upgrade to IFS 2020 R1 from older versions of IFS, you do not specifically need to be on Apps 10 to upgrade to IFS 2020 R1.   Q: Is it true that under Extended Support, new fixes will only be provided for SEV1 and SEV2 bugs? So not all fixes are included. A: Extended Support included SEV1-SEV4 fixes. Just like in standard support only the merging of SEV1-SEV2 are included. For merging a single patch for a SEV3-SEV4 a fixed price is charged. The customer may wait for the next update.  Although IFS may reduce the cadence of updates during extended support. Extended Support includes Severity 1 and 2 fixes.   Q: Dell Boomi's integrat

Quick Report - Add to Selection (available in 7.5 but not 10)

Hey everyone, I wanted to drop in a question about a feature that was in IFS 7.5 but has seemingly left the building in IFS 10 in some form: In IFS 7.5, you could down on a bunch of Quick Reports, right click, and Add to Selection for any user with either read-only or editable access. This would allow for a quick return to the selection of reports for a user because they could simply click their selection on the left pane and get access to all of their pertinent Quick Reports.   In IFS 10 the same functionality exists but only for users who can access the editable piece of this (QR in Solution Manager). So while I can access this as an admin, a read-only user cannot access this functionality.   We of course don’t want very many users editing Quick Reports for security and integrity reasons, but then how do we restore the ability to Add to Selection for any and every user? Is this possible?
