Clicking 'Start Local Server' on an Application Server in Developer Studio fails with a 'path not specified' error, after having set up an outbound integration project and deployed a server package.
Creating a new employee, or reactivating a terminated one, fails with an Oracle 'failure to open file' error buried inside a UTL_HTTP call chain triggered by a license check — this started right after an Oracle database version upgrade, and previously worked fine.
Trying to change a Requisition's status from Released back to Planned (to allow deleting it) via the right-click 'Change to Planned' option fails with 'The object is locked by another user,' and attempting to manually lock the record for inspection throws an Oracle error instead of clarifying who's holding the lock.
Creating a new object such as a user or permission set fails with an error referencing FND_ADMIN_INT_QUEUE, on an on-premise environment.
Background jobs regularly fail with '...object is locked by another user,' and there's a LOCK_SYS package plus Oracle's V$LOCK view that might help — is there a way to check for and handle this in PL/SQL, for example by postponing the job's execution instead of erroring out?
Users on an on-premise environment regularly experience application crashes traced back to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space errors, sometimes on the Admin Server — would increasing the allocated heap memory fix this?
One specific user gets a severe unhandled-exception error referencing a BadImageFormatException and a missing or corrupted assembly manifest when trying to log into the IEE desktop client, while other users on the same environment log in fine.
Is it possible to add custom PL/SQL or Java logic into IFS's own business logic layer to intercept a standard menu action and block it if a custom condition isn't met, and if so, where can this kind of customization be learned?
Is it possible to write a SQL query that returns data translated into a different language on the fly — for example, data originally entered and stored in English, translated to French for a French user — the way Oracle can display its own UI components in different languages?
Developer Studio's 'Generate Code' action for an entity fails with an error, but 'Generate Code and Deploy' works fine and successfully deploys the code into the database — what would cause just the code-generation step to fail while the combined generate-and-deploy action succeeds?
Developer Studio (version 22) shows a long list of 'could not install some modules' warnings referencing missing NetBeans platform modules (progress API, options API, etc.) on startup, and doesn't work properly afterward.
After installing a patch on IFS 10 Middleware servers, the reconfiguration process ends with 'configuration partly failed' — the middleware services show as running, but the application page won't display.
What's involved in setting up Oracle-level replication for an IFS database — for example, to keep Test and Development environments (or an offsite backup server) synchronized with Production?
Installing IFS Cloud as a remote/on-prem deployment with separate Ubuntu (Kubernetes) and Windows (Management Server) hosts — running the installer's main.ps1 script fails with a Kubernetes-cluster-unreachable error if ManagementServerIP is left blank in the config, and fails with kubectl unable to connect to the server if the Windows Server IP is filled in instead.
Is there a standard report to check current database sessions, the way there used to be in older IFS releases (App7.5)?
Querying an IAL from a SQL tool using the documented &IAL.<view_name> substitution syntax prompts for the IAL value, but entering an Application Object (AO)/username still results in 'table or view does not exist,' even though the IAL itself was created correctly.
Is there a published list of which Windows Server updates/patch levels have been tested and are safe to apply to an IFS Middleware host running Apps10?
Creating a persistent reference-type custom field on a Custom Logical Unit, trying to connect its LOV to an existing view (like a Project-related approved-list view used elsewhere in the standard application) fails — the view simply isn't selectable as a reference target.
Trying to add custom Navigator entries to the Cust layer using XML files doesn't show the files as available options when adding the navigator entry for a form, even though entries have been successfully added to the Cust layer in a similar way before.
Is it possible to activate Rowkey on the Supplier Invoices Analysis screen (needed to add a custom field, like Buyer) — the usual Excluded Logical Units window doesn't seem to be where this gets done, or can't be found?
The Developer Studio page on the IFS developer portal links to a change log hosted on an internal SharePoint site, but the link says external sharing is disabled — is there another way to access it as a non-IFS-employee?
After every installation or patch, personalized IEE window layouts (built through each user's personal profile layer) get wiped out, even though it's understood that a base-profile-only installation shouldn't touch personal profiles.
Using the #USER_ID# event substitution variable inside a custom Event's PL/SQL condition (for example, checking that the current user isn't in a specific list) fails with 'PLS-00201: identifier IFSAPP must be declared.'
A custom event is meant to copy the Supplier/Vendor from a Purchase Requisition Line onto the new Request for Order Quotation record it triggers when a requisition is turned into an RFQ — the code runs without error, but the Vendor never actually ends up transferred onto the new record.
The ifsdump.cmd diagnostic script doesn't pick up the expected log files when building its output .zip, even though the .cmd file itself looks identical to a known-working reference copy.
A production environment repeatedly crashes every 30 minutes to 2 hours, correlating with user login volume, and survives fine during low-usage periods (nights, weekends). Extensive targeted troubleshooting — disabling scheduled database tasks, event actions, specific integrations, batch/connect services, and increasing connection pool size — didn't identify a root cause or resolve it.
Is there an Oracle/IFS API or function to retrieve just the clean, client-facing error message text (the way it actually displays in the IFS client for a soft error) from PL/SQL, rather than the full raised error's stack trace with all its ORA-06512 lines?
Is there a way to enable/assign a specific Base Profile to a large number of users all at once, instead of opening each user's individual profile settings one by one?
Company policy blocks downloads from the Microsoft Store, which prevents installing the Microsoft Azure VPN Client needed to access a Cloud Build Place — is it possible to have the Build Place set up to use OpenVPN instead, or is there another way to reach the Cloud database and Git repository without the Azure VPN Client?
What should be considered before extending IFS to a new office location in mainland China, given China's internet restrictions — is there a China-hosted version of IFS Cloud, and what are the connectivity implications?
Is there a way to export/save the current definition of an already-existing IAL, to check what's currently running in Production before loading an updated version over it?
The IFS Print Agent (.NET version) Windows service crashes on startup with a fault in KERNELBASE.dll, and it's unclear whether a 32-bit vs 64-bit mismatch is the cause since only one 'Dot Net installation version' is offered on the Add-Ons page.
Developer Studio's 'Static Code Analyzer' option isn't available when working with report-related changes (files with an .RDF extension), and it doesn't run automatically during code generation for report changes either, the way it does for entity/client files — is this a bug, or is SCA just not meant to cover reports?
What creates the database triggers ending in _TRK_D, _TRK_U, and _TRK_I on a table — these look similar to the _EVD/_EVU/_EVI triggers that Events create, but aren't the same thing?
In Developer Studio, after adding Data Sync code generation properties and generating code, the newly generated implementation files don't show up in the Tool Navigator, even though the underlying database-deployable files were actually generated correctly.
The view a custom field needs to be added to doesn't have an OBJKEY column — is it possible to add one, or add a custom field to that view some other way?
Restoring a backup of a Middleware Server (MWS) instance following the standard documentation results in Access Denied errors on some files during extraction, even though all the relevant services were stopped first.
Can a single custom field be configured to work both as a reference-type field with a read-only LOV lookup AND as a persistent, freely-typeable field the user can override when needed?
Is it possible to build a read-only custom field that shows the result of subtracting one existing field's value from another (like On Hand Qty minus Refill Point Qty) on a screen where both values are visible?
