Which database tables actually store Custom Events and their Event Actions — the goal is to periodically dump them out as SQL/text and commit that to a git repository as a version-controlled backup?
A read-only custom attribute on Custom Logical Unit B, meant to fetch a friendly value (like a country name) from a field on Custom Logical Unit A, fails with a 'view table not existing' error — even though querying the exact same view directly through the SQL Query Tool works fine.
An API was accidentally registered in two different components instead of one, and this is now causing problems — is there a way to remove it from the incorrect component?
IFS Office Add-ons (like the DocMan Office Add-in), normally installed via a .vsto ClickOnce link from the add-on.html page, no longer install correctly from Chrome or Edge now that Internet Explorer has been removed — the link simply does nothing.
An IAL set to 'Copy Only New Data' just keeps accumulating records indefinitely — is there a way to have entries older than a certain number of days (like 180) automatically removed, the way history logs get cleaned up?
Deploying a first IAL fails on a line that calls a standard API function inside the SELECT statement (like Shop_Ord_API.Get_State), even though &AO.. is correctly used to prefix the table/view references elsewhere in the same query — is the &AO.. prefix required somewhere else too, or are API calls just not allowed in an IAL at all?
IFS Cloud Aurena login fails with 'Invalid username or password' after cloning the database from TEST to PROD (PROD isn't live yet), even though database-level login as ifsapp via SQLPLUS works fine, no accounts are locked, and every pod (including IAM) shows Running.
Is there a way to have an SSL certificate file stored in source control (Harvest) so it gets automatically copied into the keystore-import folder during AutoBuilder or delivery package creation, to make certificate deployment easier across customer sites?
How do you pass simple, individually-named parameters (rather than a whole message object) into a procedure called via Transaction_SYS.Deferred_Call — for example, calling a standard API's Modify method that only needs a couple of straightforward ID/value arguments?
A persistent custom field configured with a List of Values (LOV) that references a Custom Logical Unit (which has four fields) only shows one of those four fields in the LOV search popup, instead of all four — how do you get the other fields to show up as selectable/visible columns in that LOV?
A Custom Event meant to restrict which Sales Contract categories a specific permission set can Award hits a mutating-table error, because the PL/SQL block queries the Sales Contract's own category value with a SELECT inside the event triggered on that same table.
In which IFS Applications release was the table PERSON_INFO_COMM_METHOD_TAB actually removed — it's absent from Apps9 onward, but its role in Apps8 is unclear, since an Apps8 environment still has the table but it doesn't get updated with new Communication Method entries anymore.
A newly created Custom Logical Unit and its custom tab display correctly when logging in as the AO (application owner) user, but regular users don't see the same page/layout, even after refreshing the server cache — what else needs to be refreshed?
Is there a way to check whether IFS Middleware is actually running (and which node handled a given request, in a multi-node environment) from outside the application itself, for building a simple external monitoring setup?
A read-only, multi-line-enabled custom field built with a Select Statement using CHR(13) to insert line breaks (for displaying a multi-line address) shows everything on a single line in the client, even though pasting the same text into Notepad shows the carriage return is genuinely there.
A customized Apps10 landing page keeps reverting back to the default IFS landing page every time a deployment or reconfiguration is run — how do you make a landing page customization actually persist across deployments?
A Persistent custom field of data type Text is created successfully, but the field is greyed out and text can't be entered into it directly on the standard screen — even logged in as the AO account, ruling out a permissions issue.
A reconfiguration after a clone fails with an Ant-script error in ifsdoc\install.xml, specifically 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS: Invalid username or password' — what's the actual cause?
Installing IFS Cloud behind a corporate proxy fails partway through mtinstaller — every pod in the ifscloud namespace only shows a single container, with the linkerd-proxy sidecar container missing entirely, even after configuring the documented proxy environment variables on both the Management Server and Middle Tier Server.
A persistent Reference-type custom field validates correctly against an LOV, but users want to be able to free-type into the field instead of always picking from the list, since the LOV takes a noticeable time to load and they use this screen constantly — is there a way to validate against a list of allowed values without forcing LOV-only entry?
How does IFS actually handle bugs in IFS Cloud — where do you search for already-reported or already-fixed bugs, how do you report a new one, and how do corrections actually reach an environment (individually, or only through a full Service Update)?
Browsing to a website's root/default page (for example, while configuring certificates for a mobile service) shows the generic IIS default page (iisstart.htm) instead of redirecting somewhere else — is there a way to point this at a specific application path instead, to avoid exposing that the server is running IIS?
Is it possible to export the 'global' page-configuration context (custom and standard page configurations) from one environment so it can be imported into another?
Trying to add a Custom Tab to a custom page (following the same RMB > Custom Objects > Tabs > Create New steps that work on a standard page like Customer Order) doesn't show that option at all on the custom page, even though two Custom Logical Units and their custom pages were created correctly.
A newly created Custom Event and its action don't appear to be doing anything — how do you first confirm whether the event is even triggering, before troubleshooting the action's actual logic?
A Quick Report's SQL runs successfully and the exact same query returns rows in SQL Developer, but the report shows no results in the IFS client — what's going on?
A new Custom Logical Unit Entity was configured in Aurena (page configuration, projection configuration, and a relationship to the Project entity), but trying to use it to create a List on the Project Definition page doesn't work — what's missing?
An IAL that references a custom-field view (a _CFV) in its FROM clause fails to deploy with ORA-00942 ('table or view does not exist') specifically when a new topic/feature-branch environment is created — the custom field configuration apparently hasn't been imported yet at the point the IAL tries to deploy.
Is there a way, from within the application, to migrate the elements of a custom Operational Report (its _rpi package, _rpt table, and _rep view) from one test instance to another?
Recompiling a standard IFS-native package (with no code changes at all) suddenly causes every call to it to fail with ORA-06502 ('character string buffer too small'), specifically pointing at a line using Database_SYS.Get_Last_Character into a VARCHAR2(1) variable — the package worked flawlessly before the recompile.
Which table gives you the LU name and view name behind a specific page, the way the Debug Console shows it — for looking this information up directly rather than opening Debug Console for each page individually?
Is there a way to find the actual name of the current IFS instance/database from a SQL query, for use somewhere like a custom field or report?
How do you systematically check whether any IFSAPP/IFSINFO database objects have been compiled with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS set to BYTE instead of CHAR (which can cause 'buffer too small' errors), and fix all of them at once rather than one at a time?
A read-only multiline custom field built with LISTAGG (to combine multiple rows into one multi-line display) shows all the aggregated values on one continuous line in the client, even though pasting the result into a plain text editor shows line breaks are genuinely present in the data.
Deleting an Aurena projection fails with an error that a custom page exists, even after removing entities and unpublishing the projection — and the referenced custom page isn't listed in Page Configurations, so there's nothing visible to delete.
Is it possible to manually type a value into a persistent custom field that's linked to a custom enumeration or a reference-type LOV, instead of always having to select it from the LOV popup?
A custom field's LOV suddenly starts throwing an error when used, even though it and its related custom fields were working fine previously, with nothing intentionally changed.
In IEE, System Info showed the view name and API name behind a page — is there an equivalent way to see this in Aurena?
A Custom Event tied to a custom field on a table that only exposes a rowkey and the custom field's own column needs to also pull in related data from the main table (like a person's name) — but every relevant Get method on the main table's own API requires an ID that isn't available as a plain read-only custom attribute.
