A read-only custom field's select statement needs to reference another custom field's already-computed value (via its CF$ column) as part of a join/lookup — the field validates successfully, but publishing it results in 'ORA-01403: no data found.'
The application periodically grinds to a near-halt (tasks that take seconds instead take 10+ minutes, users can't log in) for roughly an hour at a time, correlating with peak login/logout activity (around 9am, noon, and 4pm), with the Oracle alert log showing repeated ORA-3136 errors and one of the extended servers spiking to 100% memory during these episodes — the pattern is intermittent, not daily.
Rather than requiring the IT team to manually export and import personal profiles one at a time (which doesn't scale), is there a practical way to give end users some self-service ability to recover a working profile version if their own personal profile gets corrupted or misconfigured, especially for users who are new to IFS and prone to accidentally breaking their own profile settings?
The IFS Aurena Extension, which previously worked fine, starts showing an error in User Settings after being rolled out to a broader set of machines via SCCM, even though the extension and its MSI both appear to have installed correctly.
The IFS Middleware Server keeps crashing shortly after being restarted — all targets show as running but the application itself is unreachable, restarting gets it working again briefly, then it falls over again after a while — this started after upgrading from UPD7 to UPD11, with the first week stable before problems began.
Custom Menus can call an external program (like a C#/.NET application) via RMB actions — is there a way to call an external program directly from a Navigator item or a desktop Shortcut in IEE the same way, rather than only from a Custom Menu?
Is it possible to use the CTRL+K lookup shortcut on a custom field, for example to open a value list for a custom field linked to an enumeration?
One specific user gets 'The Page Cannot Be Found' (referencing a missing DLL) on their shortcuts and navigator, while the same actions work fine for every other user, including IFSAPP — issue is specific to that one Windows user profile (App9).
In a replicated environment (Satellite offshore + HUB onshore), a persistent custom field only picks up values entered in the Satellite environment and those values never make it through to the HUB — is there a known limitation with persistent custom fields specifically in a replicated architecture?
After an Apps8-to-Apps10 core upgrade, Application Monitoring Console takes 5-10 minutes to load and then throws an error referencing a value from ifs360.ARC_AUDIT.
Is it possible to restrict a numeric custom field so it rejects negative values entered by the user?
Which cluster needs to be extended to scale up Batch Processor capacity on IFS Applications 10, and is Batch Processor part of the main application cluster or something separate?
A Lobby element's underlying query takes longer than a minute to run, causing a timeout error — is this controlled by the Lobby page's own auto-refresh interval setting, and is there a way to increase it (App9, IEE client)?
What are the Oracle-created CTXSYS and MDSYS schema/users actually used for, and are they genuinely needed, or can they be safely removed/ignored?
Building out Text Translations (for example, English-to-German entries) in one environment — is there a way to back them up and move them to another environment, or does every translation entry have to be manually retyped in the destination?
A newly created persistent custom field on the header of the 'Staged Billing Profile' screen shows as read-only and can't actually be entered or modified directly on that screen, even though the field is a persistent (not reference-only) type.
Running SELECT SYSDATE, CURRENT_DATE, SYSTIMESTAMP, DBTIMEZONE FROM DUAL returns several different-looking date/time values — what exactly is DBTIMEZONE, and how is it actually used?
IFS documentation confirms vertical clustering is possible but doesn't explain the actual steps — how do you set up a vertical cluster (multiple Managed Servers on the same physical machine) on IFS Applications 10?
Is there a standard API function to retrieve a record's OBJID given its business key, similar to how you'd query other attributes via a Get_ function?
Is it possible to add an existing custom field into a standard screen's own List of Values (LOV) dialog — for example, adding a custom field as an additional searchable option in the Part No LOV used on a Material Requisition — and separately, how do you make a custom field itself searchable?
Is it possible to create a Custom Menu that's scoped to a specific tab within a multi-tab form, rather than the form as a whole — for example, targeting one specific sub-tab under Inventory Part > Costs?
Is there a way to deploy/push a custom Output Channel configuration to all users at once, rather than manually configuring it for each user individually — even if it requires some scripting/automation behind the scenes?
An Apps9 Middleware reconfiguration fails partway through with 'Failed stopping HTTP servers,' leaving the environment unable to start — the installer's own reconfiguration process gets stuck on this specific step.
A custom field needs to show a dropdown of all users assigned to a specific permission set/role, so a task can be assigned to a specific person — using a static Enumeration would work but would require manually maintaining the list as roles/staff change. Is there a way to have this list populate dynamically instead?
Planning an Apps10-on-Azure deployment raised a few architecture questions: can Apps10 sit behind an Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) for public-facing access, and is cross-region load balancing/failover possible to avoid a single point of failure while running a hybrid EE-plus-Aurena setup?
After applying UPD13 to a Sandbox environment, previewing Customer Invoice reports suddenly fails with 'ORA-01031: insufficient privileges,' even though no permissions were changed on the IFS side.
What's a good checklist of things to verify in an IFS environment after performing a database refresh (e.g., copying Production data down to a lower environment), to confirm the refresh 'took' correctly and the environment is properly configured for its own purpose?
Is there a way to retrieve the content of 'yellow sticky notes' (the Notes toolstrip/icon feature) via SQL for entities like Customer, Customer Order, Shipment, Invoice, or Supplier — no obvious API method or table/view could be found for this?
Separately from sticky notes, is there a way to retrieve the content of the standard 'Notes' field (not document text) via SQL for entities like Customer, Customer Order, Shipment, Invoice, or Supplier — only one relevant API method (on Customer Order specifically) could be found, with nothing similar located for other entities?
A customer integrating via a third-party tool hits ORA-20113: CustomerOrder.LOCKED2 when calling Pick_Customer_Order_API.Pick_Reservations__, and when this happens the procedure doesn't seem to fully roll back — sometimes leaving the Customer Order only partially picked. Why doesn't the framework guarantee a full rollback here, and is there a way to get guaranteed full rollback behavior?
How do you create a new folder to organize a custom PL/SQL package so it can be selected as a Method when creating a Database Task — the folder needed doesn't seem to exist yet in the method-selection tree?
Custom Layouts and Custom Fields intermittently disappear for users running a combination of Base Profiles and Personal Profiles — the only workaround found so far is having the affected user uncheck then re-check the Custom Layout button in Properties, which resets things temporarily, but some users have to repeat this often.
How is the MATCHING_INFO field on GEN_LED_VOUCHER_ROW_TAB actually constructed — its values always start with a prefix like 'INVOICE^...' or 'PUR ORDER^...', but no package seems to contain the logic that builds it?
Refreshing the Dictionary Cache fails with an error — what are the common causes to check?
Data Archiving is available from Solution Manager on Apps10/IEE — is the same functionality available in IFS Cloud/Aurena, since it isn't obviously visible there?
Setting up Data Archiving consistently fails with 'ORA-20105: Assert.IS_PACKAGE: <LU>_ARC_API is non existing package,' regardless of which table is being archived — what's missing?
The code-completion suggestion list for overriding/overtaking a method doesn't show any candidates, even though a colleague's environment shows the expected list for the same context — what's the fix?
Is it possible to package an Aurena page's Command Groups so they can be deployed consistently to other environments, rather than recreating them manually each time?
Importing 'fmw_12.2.1.4.0_wls_quick.jar' (or a similar WebLogic/Fusion Middleware installer file) into Developer Studio fails partway through, even running as Administrator — what typically causes this?
