The IFS Cloud Excel Add-in shows a blank white screen after logging in, despite following the installation documentation exactly.
Where can the list of issues fixed by a specific Support Update (the kind of document that used to be a straightforward downloadable Excel file) be found for a given release track?
After restoring a database to an earlier date, a background job scheduled for a specific day (like every Monday) executed on the wrong day relative to its schedule — does IFS Cloud automatically catch up a job like this once the database is back online?
Is there a way to export the IFS Navigator structure to a readable format like Excel, for review or documentation purposes?
Where can IFS Connect's own log output (like for troubleshooting a stalled SFTP reader that isn't picking up files) actually be found in a Cloud environment, since documentation on this is sparse?
Where is the actual translated display text for an enumeration/decode value (like a cycle-count type showing as "Not Cyclic Counting") stored, since tracing through the Decode function's PL/SQL doesn't lead to an obvious translation table?
Upgrading to IFS Cloud 24R1 GA fails during database deployment with an error that a `SERVER_TIME_ZONE` setting is invalid ("NOT_SET"), referencing a `global.serverTimeZone` installer parameter that isn't clearly documented anywhere outside the system parameters page.
Is there a way to propagate only some custom Navigator menu changes to another environment (like TST or PRD) via an Application Configuration Package, rather than bringing across every navigator change made so far?
Are IFS-managed databases (Build Place and Managed Cloud/Use Place) hosted on-premise or on a public cloud infrastructure provider?
Is there a PL/SQL API method to retrieve a document's actual file content (as a BLOB/CLOB) when Document Management is configured to use Azure File Storage rather than the database repository?
Is there a table or view that exposes the raw XML data generated by an Archive Report, for querying or troubleshooting purposes?
A properly deployed custom package's procedure doesn't appear in the Method LOV when creating a New Database Task, even after refreshing all server caches, logging out and back in, and confirming the package/constants are set up the same way as other packages that do work.
One procedure in a custom package appears correctly in the New Database Task Schedule's method LOV, but a second procedure in the same package doesn't, despite identical-looking setup, granted permissions, and confirmed working execution when run directly in PL/SQL Developer.
A procedure in a package created directly in PL/SQL Developer (not through Developer Studio) needs to be usable as a projection custom action method and/or a Database Task, but it never appears in the relevant method LOVs.
A Migration Job set up to insert rows directly into `INVENTORY_PART_UNIT_COST` fails on every row with `ORA-01003: no statement parsed` and no further error detail, even though the field mapping looks correct.
Is it possible to add a custom action to a system-generated (auto-generated default) projection, since Developer Studio doesn't seem to allow it?
Can a single Remote-deployment management server be used to connect to and manage multiple separate test environments, or does each environment need its own dedicated management server?
A reporting pod (`ifsapp-reporting-ren`) throws `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space` — how is the heap/memory allocation for a workload pod like this actually adjusted?
Does the Remote-deployment management server (the VM used for installer tooling and file-server duties) need to be running at all times for the IFS Cloud application itself to keep working?
Running a PLSQL Test (.pltst) unit test created in Developer Studio for a customization in the CUST layer reports conflicting results — an information box says "PLTST does not contain any unit tests," yet the test results tab shows a test actually ran and passed (or failed when conditions are changed).
Generating a self-signed certificate no longer produces a copy of the certificate file on the Management server the way it did in older environments, even though the generation step itself reports success.
What's a reliable way to generate a sequential, automatically-incrementing value (like a custom numbering scheme) without building custom PL/SQL sequence-management logic from scratch?
Is there a setting in IFS Cloud to force a Logical Printer to always use a specific paper size (like Letter), since some networked printers otherwise prompt the physical device to ask for paper size on every print job?
A custom background job is being unexpectedly terminated by a scheduled cleanup job, even after explicitly marking it "Exclude from Cleanup" — how can the actual point of failure inside the custom job's own logic be pinpointed?
A desktop client tool (like Report Designer) connecting to a hosted/remote IFS environment over a VPN tunnel fails with an authorization/privilege error, even though the VPN connection itself is confirmed working and the same credentials work in the web client.
Adding a custom action referencing a custom PL/SQL package to a custom projection fails to compile with `ORA-24344: success with compilation error`, even though the same package's procedures work fine when called directly.
Is it possible to migrate saved searches from an Apps10 database (stored serialized in the `SERIALIZED_CONDITION` XML tag) into IFS Cloud?
Where are attached document files physically stored when Document Management is configured to use the database repository (rather than external file storage)?
Enabling Custom Event actions and Projection Actions for Workflows (BPA) starts failing with an error after an upgrade, despite the same configuration working fine before the upgrade.
Is there a way to bulk-delete all background jobs in a specific status (like Error) through a scheduled mechanism, rather than deleting them one at a time?
Since the web client doesn't expose the same "System Information" tab Enterprise Explorer had for looking up a displayed field's actual database column name, how can the underlying column/attribute name behind a confusingly-named field (like a "Reserved Qty" field that's actually `QTY_ASSIGNED` in the database) be found?
A new Quick Report throws a `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` server error the first time it's viewed, referencing its own auto-generated `QuickReport_<id>` endpoint as if it doesn't exist — but dismissing the error popup reveals the report's results loaded correctly anyway.
The Entity page's API and Package tabs show a method's name (like `Get_Description`) but not what parameters it actually requires — where can the required parameters for a specific API method be found?
An image uploaded to Appearance Configuration's Resources can't be removed afterward — only an "Upload" option is available, with no visible delete option.
Developer Studio's Test Connection fails with a generic "too long" error when connecting to a cloud development database for the first time, even though the same credentials connect successfully and quickly through a separate SQL tool like SQL Developer.
When migrating from Enterprise Explorer to the web client, do a user's personal settings — saved searches, navigator arrangement, shortcuts, personal profile settings — carry over automatically, or does everything need to be recreated?
API Explorer shows a standard (non-custom) projection's actions and documentation, but not the same level of association/key-mapping detail visible for a custom projection — is there a way to see that same level of detail for a standard projection?
Beyond checking API Explorer, is there a faster way to find the required parameters for a specific API method (like a `Get_` function) when API Explorer's documentation for it is unclear?
A Markdown Text element on a standard page shows a colored (like yellow) background, but Page Designer's Markdown Text control offers no formatting options beyond editing the raw text itself — how is that background achieved, and can users format markdown text more easily than typing it into a small plain-text field?
