Upgrades & Updates

Not able to view document in one entity out of multiple entities. Error:  Entity Instance not found. Is there any setting entity wise in document management.   PS: Issue occurred after IFS10 upgrade.

Is the IFS support portal down? I have tried multiple networks/devices and can’t seem to access it. Anyone else having this issue?  

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.

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

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

We are considering Installing UPD 7 ( we currently run UPD 5 ). Anyone able to share their experience ? Any new problems encountered ?

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?  

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?
