Upgrades & Updates

I was interested in finding out how people have handled the problem that the ova version of ubuntu which runs 20:04 has a version of libcurl that does not support CIDR notation, which means that we must individual ip addresses och not networks which would be much better ?Is it too much to ask that IFS updates the OS to at least 22:04 or higher or at least give us the chance to run a lInux distribution of our choice like Redhat Linux 8 or 9./Craig   

Hi Community,Im getting below error while installing ifs cloud 24r1.Does anyone have any idea about this? 

Hi,I’m trying to see if there is a way that I can compare all the modules and sub-modules in the local enviroment vs the complete set of modules and sub-modules available. We’re on 23R2. I can get a listing of installed components in Installed Components. This is a high level view, though, and doesn’t have a sub module listing. How do I compare with the available components listing to see what we are missing out on and possibly items we need to purchase? TIA  

Hi,I have a question regarding best use of the IFS environments. Where are people doing configuration changes? eg. Lobby (Data Source/Elements/Pages) and Quick reports.  These activities require data. The DEV environment in Build Place which generally has a short life span does not hold data.  Are people repetitively populating DEV with data to facilitate report development or are people using a Use Place environment? eg. CFGGrateful for responses on how people are splitting their development activities in real world scenarios.Thanks

We recently update a SND and PPR (both non production) instances of IFS Apps 10 UPD 13 to 22. In both instances our textboxes on the Materials Tab of Prepare Work Order have altered and we have found no way to shrink them back to normal height for textboxes. Has anyone had this sort of issue or have a way to deal with it?Production (UPD 13): SND/PPR (UPD 22):

In IFS Cloud, after an upgrade, where and how do I activate Rowkey for an entity on demand?In IEE it was an RMB option

Hello all,We recently upgraded from 22.2.14 to 24.1.2.Our lobby datasources no longer work with a ‘DISTINCT’ in the column definition. They worked fine in 22R2. I tried adding a DISTINCT to a simple standard IFS datasource and it also did not work. All of the Queries seem to work fine in SQLDevelopper.Is DISTINCT no longer supported in datasource column definitions, or does it have to be implemented in a certain way? If so, what is the good implimentation method?Error message: Could not preview element. Make sure datasource is configured correctly and view is existing.Sample attached, but it could be any datasource.

Hi Community,In MWO, service Technician have the ability to modify Tool entry in case they make a mistake or they wants to modify their tool entry.In service technician portal, service technician doesn’t  have the ability to do this.We are currently implementing IFS cloud, and I’m curious to know whether service technician have the ability to modify Tool Entry with “IFS cloud”? Thanks Mesh 

Hi all,Is it possible to set up a message in the notification bar triggered by specific actions for notifying personnel when they get tasks assigned in the HSEQ module? Since the customer finds emails ineffective. This doesn’t have to be limited to HSEQ; it’s fine if it applies to other modules as well in App10. Example:When a user is marked as responsible role and the next to act in the process flow, they must perform their task for the flow to proceed. To ensure this, the system should display a message or notification to the user upon login, such as:“You are the next to act on NCR 7345”.Thank You!Best Regards,Oshani

Now in 22R2 from the Customer Solution repository removed all the core files.What is the best practice to proceed with deploy.ini changes for existing component in customer solution repository?

Dear IFS Community, We would like to get rid of (legacy) customisations done within the Build Place, in order to get back to a full standard IFS Cloud environment, as the IFS Cloud implementation project is re-launched.There is currently nothing live in production.We also wonder how to “decommission” some customisations existing in the Customer Solution Repository, when a new IFS Cloud Release provides new standard functionalities that can replace the customized functionality developed and deployed.Can anyone share the right way to do so ?Thanks for your feedbackKind regardsPS : Not sure the “sub forum” is the adequate one, but didn’t find better in the list ;-)

Hello all, In Release Enhancements 6 (Enchancements Guide 6.13.0) there is a paragraph about Additional Attributes, that they support extra data types as DateTime.So, I created an additional attribute in FSM Smart Client using a datetime field (Custom Metadata→ Column Type: DateTime) and added this attribute to PSO List “Scheduling - Activity details” asValue: Activity.Additional Attribute.datevalue However, this field is still empty, even though I did an initialize of the dataset.We are using PSO Version 6.13.0.68 Is there any additional steps that I have to follow?Please provide your inputs...Kind Regards

Hi All, During the Order Delivery step in Release update Studio (upgrade from 23.2.4 to 24.1.4), delivery fails due to installation errors in FNDBAS (I attach the log).There are a whole bunch of errors including missing columns in tables from FNDBAS (in dictionary_sys_tab for example). Customizations have not touched this area. More strangely, this earlier as well as later creation of TOP environments from Release Update Studio (and thus theoretically based on the same code from the repository) succeeds.Also successful is the Sanity Build run, which was performed just before the failed delivery creation (DEL environment installation).Update 23.2.4 to 24.1.4 is run by the customer team.Unsuccessful attempts to create DEL were made by him 3 times, as well as we did it afterward with similar results. Have you had to deal with a similar situation, or do you have any idea what could be the cause?I would app

Hi, where can I find the IFS Apps 9 UPD16 patch (or newer) to manually deploy it on our system? Thank you in advance and have a great day!Best Regards, Florian

I would like some clarification for the process of installing the IFS Business Reporter add-in for Excel under Apps 10 (UPD20). Based on the “Add-ins” page, there are two options, the .MSI installer or the “Click-once” installer. Upon further investigation (technical documentation), there is also a “SETUP.EXE” that can be found in the “BUILD_HOME” delivery (under ...\build_home\win32client\IFS Business Reporter\Install). I am unable to get any of these to work properly (all exhibiting different symptoms). The most recent attempt was to run every installer that was linked on the “Add-ons” page (i.e. https://server:port/add-ons.html), and it seems to work, but still throws an error stating the the “upgrade utility not found”. Does anyone have any advice on how they use BR and how they installed the “add-on”?

Hi, We are have a Proof-Of-Concept running with IFS Cloud Remote on IFS version 24R1 on top of three ubuntu 20.04 LTS OS VM's, that is setup as a clustered solution and with NLB in front of them (so each can be disabled and taken out for a period of time) I have looked around after documentation on how to perform VM maintenance, but not found anything… I know that IFS patching and upgrading needs a dedicated maintenance window where the IFS platform is offline for the users, while the installation and reinstallation of the configuration is done. What is the recommendation on how to patching (none-IFS-applications and OS pathing) and reboots of the ubuntu VM's below the IFS platform?We would like to be able to regular VM maintenance without interfering with the pods or user access to the environment on top. Best regardsCarl-Marius

Hi All, [Sun Dec 11 15:40:33 GST 2022] - SEVERE: Failed to create namespace[Sun Dec 11 15:40:33 GST 2022] - SEVERE: Failed to install ifs-cloud. Collected logs from command:INFO: Creating namespaceUnable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of "crypto/rsa: verification error" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")SEVERE: Failed to create namespace The above error occurred during a delivery installation; the delivery went well in TEST, but this occurred during MIG installation. Anyone knows how to fix this?
