The Oracle alert log keeps recording a recurring 'WARNING: too many parse errors, count=XXX SQL hash=XXX' entry from various users — what does this actually indicate, and how do you track down the cause?
A List or Chart Lobby element has a 'Target Column' configuration option, but a Counter-type element doesn't seem to offer that same option anywhere — is this missing, or genuinely not available for Counter elements?
Is it possible to duplicate a standard EE window (like an overview or form) with a different custom layout, without affecting the original window's own layout for everyone else?
In Aurena, a Purchase Order's header shows an attachment-count indicator immediately when the PO is displayed, but Part/No Part line-level attachments show no indicator at all until you click each individual line's attachment paperclip icon — is there a way to show line-level attachment counts immediately, the way the header count already does?
Clicking a Lobby Counter element opens the correct linked Quick Report, but the report just waits for the user to manually type in a parameter instead of having the Lobby's own parameter value (like MARKET_CODE) passed through automatically — Counter elements don't have the 'Target Column' option List elements use for this, and manually editing the URL address (using `&`) to add the parameter stops the report from opening at all. How is this actually done?
The Application Monitoring Console shows persistent Application Search errors tied to a specific Search Domain (like PurchaseRequisition), and reprocessing the errored documents through the console just produces another error instead of clearing them — what actually resolves this, beyond just checking whether the domain is enabled/synchronized?
A Lobby Counter element launches a company-filtered overview screen (like Customer Agreement overview), with the Lobby's own data source having a $COMPANY$ parameter and 'Use data source condition' enabled — but the target screen's own built-in company filter still isn't being set to match the Lobby's company value. Why doesn't the Lobby's company parameter carry through?
The 'Keywords' field that normally appears at the top of a Search dialog has disappeared entirely from one specific screen — where is this enabled or disabled, and how is it restored?
A Lobby that opens fine in EE throws 'Cannot read property ConditionalFormatting of null' when opened in Aurena, for an element copied from an existing working element — removing the copied element's icon column makes the error go away. What was actually wrong with the icon column, and how should it be set up correctly?
Linking a Counter Lobby element to a Data Source that returns distinct values via a GROUP BY condition doesn't work — the counter shows no data. What's wrong?
What backup/restore tool or software is recommended for ad hoc, quick backups and restores of an Apps10 Oracle database?
A Custom Event Action fails with 'ORA-01653: unable to extend table IFSAPP.SERVER_LOG_TAB by 8192 in tablespace IFSAPP_DATA' — how is this resolved?
A custom field's Default Value, set via a PL/SQL Expression that calls another custom field's own generated Get_ function with a runtime parameter (like the current record's contract/catalog number), throws an 'invalid identifier' error — is passing parameters into a PL/SQL Expression default value supported?
A custom field configured with Uppercase formatting displays correctly formatted in IEE, but the same field shows unformatted (mixed-case) text in Aurena — is this a known issue, and is there a fix?
What are the practical effects of extending a calendar's generated dates further into the future, or of regenerating a calendar after changing which dates are holidays?
What does the 'Form Mapping' / Navigation section in Lobby Element Designer actually do, and when is it actually needed versus a plain display-only element?
A Lobby element referencing an IAL-based data source works fine in EE but throws 'Invalid data source definition' specifically in Aurena, even after refreshing caches and confirming the element/data source are granted to the right permission set — what else should be checked?
Is there something equivalent to a 'global variable' in the Aurena client model — something usable in field expressions generally, not just inside Command syntax?
What's the actual difference between the DefColVisibility and ColVisibility profile entries for a table/overview page, since setting DefColVisibility to 0 for a column doesn't seem to hide it?
A Custom Event using Execute Online SQL needs to update another field on the very same record currently being inserted (using a function's result), but doing this directly inside the event risks a table-mutation error — what's the safer pattern?
Previewing a Lobby Data Source built on an IAL definition fails with 'SQL command not properly ended,' even though the IAL Object itself looks correctly configured — what's a specific pattern worth checking in the generated SQL?
Changes to a Lobby's Data Source and Element aren't reflected in Aurena at all, even after clearing both the server-side cache and the lobby cache — what else could cause this besides caching?
A Lobby Line Graph element only ever shows 100 rows of data (visible as 'FETCH NEXT 100 ROWS ONLY' in the debugger's generated SQL), even though the underlying data has many more rows that are needed to show a full daily trend — is there a setting to raise or remove this limit?
Where do you write code to show a simple client-side informational popup or an error message box in IFS, the way you might in another development platform?
In IEE, a Lobby can be set as the home page for a whole group of users via their shared Base Profile — since Base Profiles work differently in Aurena, is there still a way to set a shared home-page Lobby for a group, rather than configuring it individually per user via each user's own Recent Screens button?
Application Monitoring Console shows recurring Application Search errors for the 'Reports' Search Domain specifically ('No master record exists for rowid ... in Search Domain [Reports]', DRG-12604/DRG-50857) — is there a targeted database-level fix rather than a full drop-and-recreate of the whole Search Domain?
Is it supported to install Oracle APEX on the same production database that hosts IFS Applications or IFS Cloud?
A long-running database session (visible in the application's own Database Sessions screen and in FND_SESSION_RUNTIME/v$session) can't be killed — the application's own RMB > Kill Session fails, the session doesn't even appear in SQL Developer's Monitor Sessions, and running `ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '<sid>,<serial#>'` from a regular client tool returns 'ORA-00026: missing or invalid session ID.' How is a session like this actually terminated?
Accessing the Apps10 WebLogic application via its full FQDN works fine over HTTPS, but accessing the exact same server via just the plain hostname returns 403 Forbidden — even though DNS resolves both and the installed SAN certificate validates both names correctly. Why does only one of two technically-valid hostnames work?
AQ$-prefixed queue-related database objects keep showing up as Invalid Objects repeatedly, especially noticed around delivery installations — what keeps causing them to go invalid again after being recompiled?
The Aurena 'Subscribe' button on screens like Customer or Opportunity only lists standard/system fields as subscribable — is there a way to add a custom field to that list?
Applying an Oracle datapatch/CPU installation fails specifically in Production (not in Test or Training) with 'start_processes: failed to open (Resource temporarily unavailable) pipe to SQL*Plus' and 'catconInit failed, exiting' — what's the actual cause, given the same patch installs fine elsewhere?
A custom monitoring table logs individual error records whenever a specific type of problem occurs — sometimes dozens or hundreds at once from a single underlying incident — and emailing on every new row would flood recipients with one email per record instead of one email per actual incident. What's a better architecture for this?
Is it possible for an administrator to add Aurena bookmarks on behalf of other users, rather than each individual user having to create their own bookmarks?
Is there a way to copy Page-Designer customization content (like field changes) from one Aurena Configuration Context to another, rather than recreating the same changes twice?
Several custom multiline fields on an Aurena page, each individually well within their own 4000-character limit, still throw 'ORA-06502: character string buffer too small' when saving a new record with all of them filled in together — but the same record saves fine if fewer fields are filled initially, with the rest updated afterward. Is there a limit beyond each individual field's own defined length?
A PL/SQL Developer connection to the database resets/disconnects every time it's been idle for about 3 minutes — what's causing this, and is there a way to avoid it without waiting on a DBA to change a setting?
A custom Scheduled Database Task calls a custom function that returns 0 or 1 — if it returns 0, an email needs to go out. Since there's no table being changed for a Custom Event to bind to (it's just a scheduled function call), how is the email actually triggered?
A Custom Event Action meant to block cancelling a Reserved Customer Order line also incorrectly fires when a user tries to undo a Manual Reservation on that same line (since Rowstate changes away from 'Reserved' in both cases) — checking for a populated Cancel Reason doesn't reliably distinguish the two scenarios. What's a more robust condition to use?
