Is there a way to run an arbitrary PL/SQL block as a background job (to avoid a mutating-table-style problem) without first writing a dedicated custom procedure just to defer it?
A scheduled background job (like one that releases Customer Orders from Planned status) regularly gets stuck in "POST" status and never automatically progresses to "READY," requiring a manual status change every time before the underlying process can complete.
What licensing model does IFS Cloud use compared to the perpetual licensing common with older on-premise Apps versions?
A Custom Event using a date-type substitution value (like `&OLD:WANTED_DELIVERY_DATE`) directly in a PL/SQL date-variable assignment fails with `ORA-01861: literal does not match format string` when triggered through the application, even though the identical logic works fine when tested directly in the backend.
A newly created custom LOV throws an error when applied to a screen, even though an existing, previously-built LOV displays and works correctly on the same kind of field.
After IFS performs an environment clone (for an IFS-hosted Cloud environment), do Appearance Configuration settings (like environment-specific logos used to visually distinguish CFG/UAT/TST from PROD) get overwritten by the clone source's settings?
Pods in a Remote deployment intermittently fail to resolve an internal DNS hostname (coinflip behavior — the same repeated request sometimes resolves, sometimes fails), even though the target host and network path are otherwise fine.
What does the "Deployment Name" entered when deploying a Workflow actually affect — is there a naming convention or best practice for it?
In a load-balanced multi-middle-tier-server Cloud cluster, requests that take longer than about a minute (a slow search, a long-running report order) silently stop with no error message, even though the same request completes fine on a single, non-load-balanced server.
After upgrading to IFS Cloud 24R1, the Debug Console and Log Window options are no longer available in the client's dropdown menu — where did they go?
Where can full syntax documentation for Script A Rest (commands like Connect, Call, ExecuteCsv, ApplyJson, Create, Action) be found, beyond the basic usage covered in the Test Data section of the lifecycle documentation?
A customer wants a tab/label name changed consistently everywhere it appears across the whole system ("database-wide"), not just on one page — is there a way to do this in one place rather than page by page?
Is there a Page Designer setting to make a Group element start collapsed/closed by default when the page first opens?
Setting up SMB-based File Storage for a Remote deployment completes the MTinstaller step successfully, but the `ifs-file-storage` pod stays stuck in Init state indefinitely.
IFS Business Reporter fails with an Excel COM exception (HRESULT 0x800A03EC) specifically in organizations where Microsoft Purview sensitivity labeling is mandatory for all Excel files.
Is there a function to calculate a resulting date by adding a number of working days to a given start date, complementing `Work_Time_Calendar_API.Get_Work_Days_Between()` which does the reverse (counting working days between two dates)?
Is there a table or view exposing CPU/RAM/network resource-utilization data for an IFS environment's database server?
How and where does custom Java code (fragment/projection implementations) actually get deployed into a running Cloud instance, and how can a successful deployment be verified?
Running the installer to update the SSL certificate on a Remote deployment fails with an error that Kubernetes/Helm tooling has been deprecated and needs updating first, but the specific update instructions aren't easy to find.
Is updating an SSL/TLS certificate on a Remote deployment a special separate procedure, or just a matter of rerunning the installer with the new certificate configured?
A custom field pulls a value (like a Group ID) from a related record (like a Serial Object) and keeps recalculating whenever that source record changes — but the requirement is to capture and keep the value as it was at the moment the record referencing it was originally created, not track live changes.
After updating an SSL certificate, the management server shows the new certificate correctly, but client laptops still show the old, expired one — even after clearing the browser cache and reinstalling the middle tier.
A "VALIDATE INDEX" background job intermittently ends up in a warning state, with the details page showing the relevant index appears to be locked.
How can I disable just the Duplicate button on a custom entity's list, without disabling New or Edit, and without a full Developer Studio customization?
Which API exposes Get_Planned_Labor_Total, and how do I find the owning package for an unfamiliar function/procedure name like that in general?
I'm running IFS Cloud locally against a remote minikube cluster for Java development, following the documented setup, but the client just shows a blank/broken page at the start URL instead of the application. Where do I start troubleshooting?
A fully deployed custom page works fine from Application Config > Custom Pages, but adding it to the Navigator gives a 404 Page not found error. What's wrong?
Is there a way to pull a derived/display-only field (like a part description) into a quick report or custom SQL query without joining the underlying detail table?
A performance/CPU investigation shows background job entries like F1JOB_112, F1JOB_2, etc. — how do I find out which scheduled task each numbered F1JOB actually corresponds to?
Pods for a component that's marked inactive in solutionset.yaml (e.g. BUSMOD, MXCORE, PBIES, CRYSTL) still show up as pending or running in the cluster. Is it safe to just scale them to 0 replicas, and why aren't they being skipped automatically?
What's the process for updating the SSL certificate on a remote-hosted IFS Cloud installation?
How should customizations to the deploy.ini file be handled in IFS Cloud, since there doesn't seem to be a separate -cust override file for it like other configuration files?
A Quick Report runs fine manually, but the same SQL fails with a 'SQL Statement Malformed' error when it's run as a scheduled Application Server Task with JobType = QuickReport. What's different about the scheduled path?
When a core POST deployment script (e.g. a POST_*.sql file) has a bug or fails because a dependent component isn't installed in your solution, can you 'overtake' and fix it yourself in the customer-solution repository, the way you'd overtake other customized files?
Refreshing the entity/metadata cache sometimes fails with 'No more data to read from socket' — is there a reliable workaround?
Our database's application-owner schema was set up with a custom name instead of the default IFSAPP, and we need (or are being told) to change it back to IFSAPP — is renaming the schema/app-owner straightforward, and is there anything beyond the schema rename itself to worry about?
A Quick Report's SQL fails to save with a generic 'SQL expression is wrong' error, even though the exact same query runs fine in a SQL tool like PL/SQL Developer. What commonly causes this specific mismatch?
Is there a way to get the retry count for a specific Application Message (visible on screen) into a report or query, rather than just viewing it interactively?
Developer Studio refuses to deploy a file containing special/non-ASCII characters ('Unrecognizable characters found'), even though the file is confirmed to be UTF-8 and both PL/SQL Developer and the standard deployment procedure accept it without complaint. How do you get Dev Studio to accept it?
