Is there a way to get IFS Cloud's REST API described as a standard OpenAPI/Swagger .yaml or .json specification file, so it can be fed into a generic OpenAPI code generator to produce a client library in a language IFS doesn't provide a client for directly?
Is there a log that shows every call made to a Biz API service — not just errors, but confirmation that a call was actually received — useful for investigating reports of duplicate/unexpected connectivity-in messages coming from an external application calling those services directly?
Configuring IFS Connect's Mail Sender for Office 365's authenticated SMTP (needed after moving an older environment, like Apps9, into Azure, since Azure blocks unauthenticated SMTP) fails with a TLS error insisting TLS 1.2 be used as default — caused by an old bundled Java Mail library on the Middleware Server that doesn't support TLS 1.2, with no clear supported way to upgrade that library in place.
How do you retrieve the document/note text associated with a Customer Order Line via the REST API — calling DocumentTextHandling.svc/NoteTexts(Objkey='...') directly returns an ODP_RESOURCE_NOTFOUND error?
Where can you get the ifs-fnd-connect.jar and jsch jar files needed to generate Private/Public key files for setting up an SFTP Reader/Sender?
A custom REST API deployed through Developer Studio works fine when called from a web browser (showing a proper response) or from API Explorer, but the exact same API call from Postman returns 401 Unauthorized, using Basic Authentication in the request headers.
The Outlook CRM Panel add-in only shows a login button and never actually logs in, after configuring ADFS SSO that otherwise works correctly for both IEE and Aurena — what's different about CRM Panel's authentication?
IFSAPP.COMM_METHOD_API.Get_Default_Email(Customer_No) doesn't return a customer's default email address — it only seems to work when passing a username instead of a customer number.
Can HTML be used inside the body of an Event Action of type Email — for example, to turn a long raw URL into a clickable hyperlink with readable link text instead of showing the whole address?
Calling a registered custom API from within the application (OnCloud/hosted environment) fails with HTTP 403 Forbidden, while the exact same API call works fine from Postman — what's the likely difference?
Querying Application Messages by Status Date or Creation Date only ever returns results from today or yesterday, even when trying to find messages that should have been sent several days earlier (like emails triggered by custom events) — where does the older data actually go?
Writing a file directly to a server directory (the way filerep1 worked on Apps10) fails with 'Access Denied' or 'Bad Username Or Password' when trying to configure a File Sender in IFS Cloud — is there an equivalent shared directory accessible to developers in Cloud?
A scheduled 'Synchronize Active Directory' background job still shows as running (Ready status) and completes without error, but the logs show no actual sync activity taking place anymore, even though the job used to work correctly.
What's the actual difference between 'Copy Link' and 'Copy Data Link' in IFS Cloud, and what would you use Copy Data Link for?
A background task called something like 'Scheduling System Data USERS' generates a recurring Application Message error every 10 minutes, referencing a URL that doesn't exist — is this task actually required, and what should the URL be set to?
Calling a REST API with a parameter that expects an enumeration value (like SupplyCode set to 'InventOrder', as shown in API Doc Viewer) fails when the bare value is passed directly as a query-string parameter in Postman.
Connect Server fails to start with a repeating UnauthorizedAccessException ('POST error #401: Unauthorized access') after changing the ifsconnect user's password through the installer (both the Oracle user password and instance configuration were updated) — reinstalling the instance and services entirely doesn't fix it.
Is there a way to write an Event Action's 'Conditions for performing this action' as an OR-style match against multiple acceptable values — for example, triggering only when a field equals one of two specific values, and not otherwise?
Developing a Java-based XML-to-JSON Transformer for an inbound integration needs certain IFS framework JAR files as compile dependencies — one of them is easy to find in the Transformer Development documentation, but the others referenced in the code (base and common framework classes) aren't listed there.
PATCH requests to update an existing record through a Custom Logical Unit's Integration projection consistently fail with a DB_OBJECT_MODIFIED / 'Resource already modified' error, even on a record that hasn't actually been touched by anyone else — while sending a non-existent key just creates a new record instead of updating.
Calling Plsql_Rest_Sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint with a large request body (a CLOB) — is there a way to get that original request body/payload back inside the callback procedure, other than duplicating it into the response itself? Passing it via key_ref_ fails once the value exceeds VARCHAR2(1000).
IFS Connect's REST sender is configured with accepted_res_codes_ including both 200 and 404, expecting a 404 response to trigger the given failed_callback_fun_ — but the call errors out with 'No output from address line in previous chain link; cannot proceed' instead of invoking that failure callback.
The SFTP Sender connector always uploads the output file under a temporary filename first and only renames it to the final filename after the upload completes — is there a configuration option to have it write directly under the final filename from the start, since some receiving systems don't expect a rename step?
A synchronous Inbound Request web service, built to return a custom designed response string, instead always returns a generic 'Message ... is posted to IN1' acknowledgment when tested via Postman or an integration platform, regardless of the actual response logic configured.
IFS Connect receives a JSON response from a REST API call — what's the right way to persist that JSON content as row(s) in a custom table, especially if the JSON structure is fairly complex (nested objects, variable-length arrays)?
A Power Apps custom connector configured with OAuth2 against an IFS Cloud core environment fails when tested, even though the exact same OAuth2 setup (both authorization code and client credentials flows) works fine when tested directly in Postman.
Is there a way to send messages from IFS directly to WhatsApp (a person or group), similar to how an Application Server Task can email a report or quick report result?
Importing a specific standard API (like WorkTaskHandling) into Postman via its OpenAPI spec fails with 'Import partially complete' and the resulting collection is empty, even though importing other IFS APIs the same way works fine.
An Incoming Customer Order from EDI stops with 'ORA-20111: CustomerInfo.FND_RECORD_NOT_EXIST: The Customer Info does not exist,' and it's unclear what specific piece of customer information is actually missing.
A large number of Incoming Customer Orders stop every morning during the scheduled EDI file import with 'ORA-20112: CustomerOrder.EXIST2: The Customer Order object already exists' — even though the orders genuinely don't already exist, and manually approving the stopped order from Incoming Customer Order succeeds immediately with no further action needed.
A PATCH request to CreateAndImportDocument.svc's EdmFileSet endpoint (uploading a document's file content via Postman) consistently fails with a generic ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR / 'An internal server error occurred,' even with the Content-Type, If-Match, and file body all set correctly.
Is there a way to see all the emails that have been sent out by a custom event, to review or audit what's actually gone out?
Is there a way to set up an automated, scheduled export of data from a view or table (like a plain SELECT * FROM some_view) into a chosen format like XML or JSON, running on a schedule from within IFS itself?
Is there a way to automate the CSV export that Output Channels provides (via right-click > Output > Output to CSV on a screen like Coordinators) so it saves to a location automatically on a schedule, rather than being manually triggered each time — ideally something a script could pick up afterward?
Is there a dedicated REST API that can be called to authenticate an IFS user — passing a username and password to simply check whether the credentials are valid, separately from any actual business operation?
Constructing an IEE external-search URL (used to open a specific form and pre-populate it with data from an external application/link) so it jumps to a specific record — for example, one particular Receipt line number rather than always landing on the first line — the URL follows the documented ifsapf: search syntax but consistently opens the wrong line.
A Power Apps custom connector calling an IFS Action that expects no request body (unlike other actions that do take a body) fails with 'error while deserializing contents' — Power Apps apparently won't submit an actual empty {} JSON body for an action configured with no parameters, which is what the action needs to succeed.
Calling an IFS PL/SQL API method (like Transport_Task_API.NEW__) from a custom .NET/WPF application to create a new record — how do you retrieve an output value from that call (like the newly generated record's ID) back into a .NET variable, without running a separate follow-up SQL query?
Where are the configuration values for a specific IFS Connect Mail Sender (like its Host) actually stored in the database — needed so the mail server host can be changed programmatically or via direct query, for example right after a Production-to-DEV database replication, before the DEV environment's client is properly reconfigured and starts emailing real customers by mistake?
