Application Configuration Status Lobby

The Application Configuration Status Lobby page highlights and visualizes important information for the Custom Object Administrators.

This lobby page can be used at any time to check the status of application configurations in the system, and also to find things that need further attention after installing an update or a patch to IFS Applications. All the elements link to the relevant window, for handling/ viewing the configurations.

Read more about the IFS Lobby concept.

The status of the application configurations is divided into three sections.

Status Overview

This section shows the total number of Application Configuration Packages, Custom Objects together with how many custom objects are approved, published and the ones not connected to an Application configuration package.

In a production environment the number of configurations that are not synchronized should ideally be zero. Non-synchronized objects means that the configurations are modified but not effective, like a Custom Field is not published or an Event Action is not enabled.

Custom Object Details

This section shows the high-level overview of different types of custom objects. It displays how many configurations there are of different types and makes it easy to navigate to them.

Invalids

If an update modifies the parts of the system that a configuration is dependent of it may lead to invalid custom objects. This means that the deployed database objects for the custom objects are invalid. Number of invalid custom objects should be zero. To resolve this open the detail page for the custom object and validate the custom object attributes and edit the ones not valid.

The element "Orphan Custom Attributes" indicates configurations that existed but needs to be redesigned due to underlying changes in IFS Applications. This can be custom fields that are connected to a logical unit which has been renamed or removed and replaced by some new logical unit.

The element "Unreferenced DB Objects" shows database objects for custom objects that still are in the application but the actual custom object is removed. It could be a table holding data for a custom field that has been removed.
