Hello,As we began applying the Release Update 24R2, we noticed that a new component, WRKTSK, has been introduced as part of this release. Several APIs (entities, utilities, and enumerations) have been moved from the existing WO component to WRKTSK.We have customized approximately 30 APIs from this list, and now we need to uplift these APIs from WO to WRKTSK. Could you please advise on the best approach to carry out this task?While using the Impact Analyzer tool, we noticed that the results don't provide sufficient comparison details (screenshot attached for reference).Additionally, we are unable to find a way to download all the core files of 24R2 to analyze how the WRKTSK files have impacted our customizations.Has anybody experienced similiar issues? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hi,I am reaching out to connect and discuss how various IFS customers are approaching their upgrade to IFS Cloud. We are in the Food and Beverage manufacturing sector, currently using IFS Applications 10 EE, and are in the process of planning our move to IFS Cloud. We are trying to determine whether to opt for a re-implementation or a technical upgrade, considering all the factors involved.I am specifically keen to learn about others' experiences and understand the timeframe you either plan to take or have taken to transition from APPS10 to IFS Cloud.I welcome all responses and connections!Thanks,Jack

We have purchased some LTU licenses and I have uploaded these permission sets into our IFS Cloud environment.  Can anyone tell me if I need to get an updated version of these LTU permission sets for Service Updates?  I am aware I need to ask for updated permission set for Release Updates, but unsure if I need to do the same for Service Updates.  If it is dependent on if the Service Update affects that particular area the LTU covers, is there an easy way to check to identify this?  

HiIn Aurena, is it possible to make a field change colour based on content. We are simply trying to replicate Sticky Notes, which have disappeared in the Cloud, by creating a custom filed, then populating with data from our Apps9 db as part of the upgrade we are undertaking, and highlighting the field in Yellow if it has content.Thanks in advance, Tim

We have a customer planning to go-Live on 24 R2 in January 2026. I understand that customer can be 3 release versions behind.  By the rime 26R1 come out the customer will be 3 versions behind and they are asking whether they are obliged to 26R1 straight away or are they in breach only when 26R2 comes out? can they hold off the deployment for 26R1 after its release date? 

Hi All,If I remember correctly , IFS recommendation is to be in the LATEST Release Update during the implementation phase and get a release update every 12 months after go live.Could anyone let me know the formal ifs link which explains this? I am pretty sure I have seen this but cannot remember where I saw it.

Hi,Has anyone found a way to convert saved searches in IEE client to Aurena Client/IFS Cloud?We are currently working on upgrading IFS 10 UPD 22 version to IFS Cloud.Users are heavily relying on saved searches to manage their daily tasks. At present, there are over 5,000 saved searches across both Base and personal profiles. After the Go-Live, users will undoubtedly be disappointed to find that their saved searches are missing in IFS Cloud.It is surprising that IFS has entirely overlooked upgrading saved searches into IFS Cloud.This topic has been discussed about two years ago, IFS IEE to Aurena Saved Searches | IFS CommunityI'm re-posting this topic to see if anyone has found a workaround for this issue over the past couple of years. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this matter. Thanks,Thilochana

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?
