One of our customers upgraded to 24R2 recently. The release upgrade started on 1/22/2025 and build place was updated on  3/7/2025.Now, in their Build place (DEV) environment, the application version and framework version are different.However, in the relevant TEST (useplace) environment both application and framework versions are the same. Could you please clarify,How something like this could have happened What is the impact this will have on future deliveries/fixes. What can be done to get the useplace and prod environments to the same framework version as dev.

Hi,How many days before a new IFS Cloud release are the Release Notes available?

Hi,Can we execute .\installer.cmd --set action=dbinstaller while installing a new delivery/patch on an IFS Cloud-running application without downtime? 

Hi All, I am interested in  your opinion/experience about the main difference in the UI/navigation between IFS cloud version and older version. As a user, what is the most missing UI function, what is better in the Cloud and what was better in the Navigation. As a consultant what is your experience with the customers? What are the most missing functions by users?  

Hello everyone,Some data fields update automatically without user interaction, while others require manual confirmation.Why does this behavior differ, and is there a way to configure it globally so that user interaction is always required, regardless of the field?Thanks and best regards

Hi,we have raised this with IFS (case CS0336328) but we don’t know if we will get a fast enough response so are trying this route.We have tried to upgrade the Build Place for MYDentist to 24R2 UPD3 and experienced an error immediately.This project is on a critical time line and is being managed hour by hour, so every minute counts.Hope someone from IFS running the Clinic can assist us to move this issue forward. Best Regards,Steve Barker

Hi,We have two seperate environments installed on different servers - IFS9 and IFS10 UPD23.When handling 200 application messages in IFS9 it takes around 3 minutes. If we handling exactly the same amount of application messages in the same queues and routing rules and messages it takes around 40 minutes in Application 10.Can someone help me to understand where do we start investigating this issue?Restarting application messages also takes time in IFS10. Here is a compare from a restart in app9 and app10.App10 - Duration 1303msApp9 - 312ms 

Hello everyone,I have a question about upgrade from version 10 to Cloud. This week, we received information from the IFS partner company, which is our implementation, that the licensing in IFS is changing and if we do not want to move to Cloud, the license fee for the currently used version 10 will be increased by 50% year annually :)On the other hand, if we decide to move to the Cloud, it is not considered an upgrade covered by the licensing fee but is instead treated as the implementation of a completely new ERP system, with full implementation costs.I wanted to ask how this looks on your company, because I don't want to believe in that , we have invested many millions in the system, modifications, staff training and here now such a twist. Please let me know if you know somethingThanks!

I’m interested in getting some feedback from others that are on IFS Cloud regarding your experiences with major releases, service updates, and deliveries.I wanted to include multiple questions/polls, but the forum will only let me include one poll. If you’d like to answer these additional questions by responding in the comments would be greatly appreciated. #2 - How many major releases, service updates, or custom deliveries have you performed on your IFS Cloud (PRD) environment in the last 24 months?#3 - Do you regularly install service updates or major releases and version releases only? If service updates, some or all?#4 - How often has a delivery failed for you in one of the environments while the other environments were successful (e.g. A delivery is successful in CFG and UAT environments, but fails in PRD environment OR successful in CFG and then fails in UAT.) in the past 3/6/12 months?

HiMy customer is planning to upgrade from version 23r1 to 24r2 and is seeking a smooth way to manage projection changes post-upgrade. Do we have a recommended approach for this?During their last upgrade, they encountered a significant challenge with a long list of affected projections—numbering in the thousands. The individual responsible for handling the granting process faced considerable difficulties, as each modified projection required re-granting./Maliha

We are experiencing approximately 5,656 SFTP connection attempts daily from IFS application to an external sftp server (AccessPay). The SFTP connection is always enabled and configured for bank reconciliations.Is this level of connection frequency typical for IFS Cloud environments? Is it normal for IFS Connect Reader to continuously connect to an external SFTP server to read files?

I am currently in the midst of testing the IFS Cloud IFS Connect Reader using SFTP. While I have conducted several successful tests with the known host file, I have encountered an issue when using the private key-public key pair. I am unsure whether this is a bug in the application or if someone has successfully used the private key to read an SFTP location via the IFSCloud Connect Reader. I would greatly appreciate any insights or comments on this matter.

I have been working for several months to upgrade our databases from 12c to 19c, but I am stuck on a particular issue that I cannot seem to resolve. I chose the manual method (expdp/impdp) as this is what is endorsed by IFS and recommended by the consultants. We get 2500+ errors during the import, most of which, the consultants stated can be ignored as they are 12c objects that are no longer in 19c, however, there are a handful of errors that reference our app owner and I feel they are related:Error during import:dbms_scheduler.enable('"PROCESS_ALL_PENDING"');COMMIT; END;ORA-39083: Object type PROCOBJ:""."RUN_JOB" failed to create with error:ORA-06550: line 8, column 265:PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not existUpon completion of the import phase, then installation of IFS, Batch Queues cannot be “Reinitialized” as they produce the error:"appowner".
