IFS10 - CPU 100% and very slow system

After we upgraded to IFS10 we are struggling with slowness in our Oracle DB. We haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause of our problems. But very often (5-10 times each week), we see that the CPU goes to 100% and doesn’t let go. Every user in our company are then struggling with slowness when this happens. As an example, saving a time registration can take 3-4 minutes.Today, a restart of the DB server was necessary to get it back to  normal.  We have used the query below to find CPU consuming operations, and have also checked background jobs and DMBS jobs. Nothing special has been running when the problems occur, or at least nothing that helps us to conclude on a specific problem.select s.username, s.inst_id, s.sid, s.serial#, s.status, (select value from gv$sesstat natural join v$statname where name = 'physical reads' and sid=s.sid)disk_reads, (select value from gv$sesstat natural join v$statname where name = 'session logical reads' and sid=s.sid) logical_reads, (select value/100 cpu_

Document Management - Moving File Repository

We are currently on IFS Apps10 UPD6.  When we originally implemented IFS at Apps8 SP1+, we made the decision to setup Document Management to be stored in the Oracle database. When we upgrade to Apps10, we moved our quote process into IFS.   With that and other changes, we are seeing significant DB growth, which is mainly due to the number of documents we are storing in Doc Man.  Feedback from our IT team is it’s taking noticeably longer to back up Oracle and to refresh our development environments from Production.   I’m starting to thing about moving our doc man repository out of Oracle.   Looking for guidance / words of wisdom / lessons learned Does anyone have experience to share moving document management out of the Oracle database Pros/Cons for the different doc man repository options? Do we lose functionality if we move out of Oracle? At what point would you consider an Oracle database to be “too big”?

Object connection transformation

Hi, I was able to create  my first connection object and I had to create my own transformation method, following guidelines found in OpenIFS forum. When I tested it (with the Test transformation option ) , I got a successful status. But it does not work on the target LU. What is the best way to debug this problem ? Haven’t found anything in the Debug console.   Thanks   Michael

Sending Customer invoices - Instant/Manual

Trying to set up the automation and facility to directly e-mail any manual/instant invoice we create. We have an e-mail event set up, but cannot get customer e-mail to pull through, which field should this be entered on to populate? Another way I had tried was setting up e-invoice in supplier card, the IFS Help section advises I can change the address after saving to an internet e-mail address, but I get an error when trying to change/save this?

Document Macros

Hi All, few questions from a colleague, re Document Macros   I guess you know, there is a standard functionality in “DMS” that allow to fill a Word document automatically with fields in IFS (Macro – VBA). I’m looking for answers about those questions and it is not easy to find : Are those fields able to come from different Views or is it necessary all fields should come from the same one ? o Exemple : I have a file in GED with macro, connected to the View "Purchase.Order". In the file I would like to get the "Manager" field coming from the LU Project. Do I need to add a customfield read only to bring the manager in the View "Purchase.Order" ? Can we put a value in the Word document, depending on condition ? o Exemple : If a field in IFS is “YES” then the Macro populate a field in a certain value in the Word document. If “NO” then the Macro populate the same field with an other value ? The answer should be somewhere in the screen “Macro basic” but it’s too technical for me. Thank you,

Change Document Repository

Hello,I hope somebody out there has experience moving documents from the database to an FTP Server.We are on IFS 9.  In my screenshots below I have a document class in the database called APPE and I want to move the documents associated to this document class to an FTP server.I have created two repositories in the EDM Basic>Repositories windows. One line to indicate that APPE_R1 has the doc class that I want to move and another repository line APPE_R2 to accommodate the transfer of documents to the FTP repository.Then I have used the Change Document Repository Wizard and the first step makes sense as shown in screenshot below however then I am presented with a second page where it seems to be I have to allocate a document class again? I am confused about this screen, furthermore the Doc Class field does not offer a list of values.I hope somebody can give us a word of advise on this matter.Many thanksMiguel

Quick Report Parameter Questions

Does anyone know how to make a parameter mandatory? By default they are all optional. Also, is there a way to set a default value for a parameter? Lastly, is there IFS documentation or a manual on details like this? I’ve seen IFS pages that have general  info, but nothing on technical details like the above or what else is doable/possible. As we start to develop our company’s custom reports I’m getting ideas and would like to know the capabilities and what’s possible with QuickReports.

Document access levels in Project Access and Document Management

I have been trying a few things with both project and document access. But I have come up against what I think is a conflict between project access and document access.  But here are my findings:I created a project under IFSAPP in a test environment. IFSAPP is identified as a document administrator I created another user that was not a document administrator (User 2) I did NOT add USER2 to the project access I created a couple of documents that were attached to an activity on the project as IFSAPP USER2 was NOT able to access the project at all I added USER 2 to the project access with full rights I logged in as USER2 and accessed the project successfully I could see the documents I had attached earlier BUT although I had granted the team to which USER2 belonged full access, USER2 could see that the documents existed BUT could not access them I tried as USER2 to create a document attached to the activity.  USER2 could not create a document in a document class for which the user was NOT

Updates and Configuration Analyzer

With Updates becoming main vehicle for delivery of fixes and new functionality for IFS Applications there is a greater need for our Customers and Partners to be able to validate impact of merged Update on configurations they have developed. This has been made possible from Update 6 for Application 9 and RTM release of Applications 10. However up to very recently it involved help from IFS Global Update Team who could include export of configurations developed by Customer and/or Partner during Update Analysis and provide list of impacted areas. From second half of 2019 we have even better solution for dealing with Update impact analysis on developed configuration. IFS Product Development made it possible with IFS Configuration Analyzer. Now Customers and Partners can perform impact analysis at any point in time – before, during or after delivery of Update delivery. Tool will present impacted configuration in a list that shows type of impact and allows to export that information to Excel.

Would you be willing to express your opinion on IFS Document Managament here in the Community?

 Hi all Docman fans,I work at IFS R&D with the IFS Document Management (aka “Docman”) functionality.Sometimes we need input from customers (“Do they use X? How? Why? When? Would they like Y?”) and the only way we have is to ask our consultant colleagues.I am thinking about trying to use IFS Community for this as well to get feedback from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.This post is just to hear how big of an audience we have here.If you are a regular user here and/or would like to participate in polls, questions etc from us, please like this post or, even better, add a comment below.Thanks!/MathiasPS. And also, if you are interested in Docman, make sure to subscribe to this part of the community.

Notify me

Notify Me configured notification not appearing in IFS 10.The customer has an approval process in Sales Quotation  based on the document management functionality. We have created the configured notification in the Touch App Server to show the next approval step from the Approvals screen. I’ve been reading that I  should also create some custom events/custom actions to somehow push the notification in the Notify Me App (similar with PO notification). Does anyone have an example how such an event should be created based on the approval_routing_api?
