Which IFS Applications 10 update level added support for Dell Boomi's REST connector, for integrating external systems with IFS via Boomi?
Event Action emails include a custom URL meant to open the relevant Order/Requisition record directly when clicked, but the correct screen opens without the record actually populated — it's unclear whether the URL should reference &MESSAGE_TEXT, &MY_QUERY, or some other substitution variable to correctly pass the record's key.
Using the 'Attach Files' option in an Event Action's Email Attachment dialog (Apps8/9) — pointing it at a file path like C:\Test\Test.pdf — silently stops the custom event from firing the email at all, while the alternative 'Create and include file' option works fine.
Trying to connect the IFS REST connector (for example, via Dell Boomi) to IFS Cloud fails when authenticating with OAuth2, and Basic Authentication doesn't appear to be an option at all on Cloud — what's the correct authentication approach, and what else commonly blocks these integrations once auth itself is working?
An Application Message Notification stuck in 'Waiting' state (originally failed due to a malformed recipient email address) was corrected and the message was suspended and resumed, but it goes right back into the same problem state — is there a way to actually retry it with the corrected data?
Is there a way to find the OData REST API endpoint for a specific screen/module (its projection service and entity set name) without having to perform the actual transaction in Aurena and capture the network request via browser inspection?
Is there a native CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) interface available for IFS Applications 10, the way there was a specific customization for this in older releases?
A deployed REST-based IFS web service produces CORS errors when called from a browser-based app, and disabling browser web security (like Chrome's --disable-web-security flag) only works for local testing, not for real end users.
Connecting Power BI (via SQL Server Analysis Services) to an Apps10 Oracle database fails with 'ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol' — what's causing this, and how is it generally resolved?
Users start receiving unexpected emails from IFS with irrelevant subjects shortly after Mail Sender was configured, and checking Application Messages for these emails doesn't reveal any useful details about where they're actually coming from.
Emails sent via Command_Sys.Mail always show as coming from CONNECT@LOCALHOST, even though the calling PL/SQL code explicitly specifies a different from-alias/sender address (like noreply@companydomain.com).
A custom projection's REST API documentation (OpenAPI v3 docs) throws an HTTP error when accessed, even though the projection itself works — is there an Aurena-side setting that needs to be checked?
A custom event's action logs successfully in Application Messages, with the correct recipients and body text, but the email itself never actually arrives — where else should this be checked?
Data synchronization replication into the SERVE queue fails with 'The Repl Site Statistics object already exists,' triggered from the scheduled task that inserts into REPL_SITE_STATISTICS_TAB — what causes this and how is it resolved?
Syncing the Outlook calendar in Aurena fails with an error referencing setting the fnd user as 'SYNC_MASTER' — what's missing?
IFS Connect's Routing Rule supports an Asynchronous Response that calls straight into a PL/SQL function via a PL/SQL Routing Address type on newer releases — is the same capability available on IFS9?
A .NET/C# OData client using `DateTimeOffset.Now` for a datetime field throws ODP_DESERIALIZATION_ERROR against an IFS OData endpoint, even though the field itself accepts DateTimeOffset values fine otherwise — is this an IFS bug?
A Transformer configured in IFS Connect needs its underlying Java class reviewed/inspected — where can the actual code be found?
For an on-premises IFS Connect File Connector, do the shared IN/OUT folders have to be hosted on a Linux server, or can they live on a Windows server instead?
An OData/projection endpoint returns an Enumeration attribute (like LocationType) that's marked Translatable in Aurena, but setting an Accept-Language header on the request still only returns the raw enum value in English/its default — is there a way to get the translated display value through the projection layer?
The standard IFS .NET client libraries (Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.dll etc.) used for reading/writing IFS from a .NET application only support the older .NET Framework, not .NET Core — is a .NET Core-compatible version available, and what's the alternative if not?
Setting up a secure (SSL/TLS) connection from IFS Connect to an external server via a Routing Address fails with an SSL socket-factory exception, even after adding the relevant certificates through IFS Connect's Keystore window — what's the Keystore window actually for?
Calling `plsql_rest_sender_api.call_rest_endpoint`, passing a CLOB body and trying to add URL parameters exactly as documented, fails with 'wrong number or types of arguments' — is there a working way to pass both a CLOB body and URL parameters together?
Accessing API documentation through Aurena's API Explorer for a cloud-hosted (ifs.cloud domain) environment fails with a 403: Unauthorized error when tried from a local machine's browser, even though the same environment works fine otherwise — what's causing this?
Is it possible to attach an actual document (not just an XML data payload) to an outbound Application Message routed to an external HTTP/REST endpoint, for example to send an invoice document to an external shipping broker?
An OData PATCH request against a projection entity set (e.g. updating a part via PartCatalogSet) fails with `{"error":{"code":"ODP_NOT_ALLOWED","message":"Illegal operation."}}`, even though GET, POST, and DELETE on the same entity set all work fine and API Explorer's documentation lists PATCH as supported — what's worth checking to isolate the cause?
A file import running through a custom method invoked via IFS Connect (routing rules/address, initiated as the IFSCONNECT user) fails with 'PLS-00904: insufficient privilege to access object IFSAPP.<custom_package>' — how is this fixed?
Is IFS Connect's file-based integration (File Readers/Senders) still usable in IFS Cloud, or does all file-based integration have to go through a middleware tool like Boomi instead?
Calling an external HTTPS endpoint via UTL_HTTP still fails with an SSL/certificate error, even after creating an ACL, creating a Wallet, and importing what looks like the right certificate into it — what's commonly missing?
Is there a way to set an environment-specific global variable usable inside Event Actions (similar to how $INSTANCE works for Connect readers), so something like an external REST API endpoint URL doesn't need to be manually re-entered every time an updated app package is imported into DEV, TEST, and PROD?
Is it possible to keep a backup copy of the files a File Reader (IFS Connect) has already picked up and processed from its 'IN' folder, in case they're needed again later?
Calling an IFS Cloud REST API from PHP or plain browser JavaScript fails (even though the exact same request works fine in Postman, and works in Chrome only when launched with --disable-web-security) — what's the actual fix, rather than disabling browser security?
A BizAPI (like Receive_Customer_Order) enforces a character limit (e.g. 30 characters) on a field like Address Line 2 — is there a way to adjust this limit through the BizAPI or integration layer without a core modification?
Developing a new BizAPI fails with an error about not being able to find a required model/handler — what's actually needed before a BizAPI can reference a handler like this?
Is there a projection/REST API to query IFS Connect's Application Messages (the same data shown in the EE 'IFS Connect > Application Messages' screen), since there doesn't appear to be an equivalent Aurena screen to reverse-engineer the right API from?
Sending a plain-text email via `Command_SYS.Mail()` from a custom event's Execute Online SQL — is there a way to insert a line break into the message body without switching the content type to HTML?
Is it possible to send a Stream Notification directly from PL/SQL (rather than using a custom event's built-in 'Streams message' action type), so the notification only fires based on custom conditional logic in the code?
Testing an inbound Routing Rule against the SOAP Gateway endpoint from Postman on Apps9 keeps failing — what's the actual correct endpoint URL to send the test request to?
A custom Logical Unit (with no BizAPI available for it) needs new records created automatically whenever a file lands in an IFS Connect File Reader's IN folder — what's the right approach when there's no BizAPI to route the incoming data through?
