David, Thank you for bringing multi-tenant capability into the project!
I will be able to use this feature where I work - to set up a demo dataset that is separate from our live data. Our legacy (non-OFBiz) software is set up that way, and one of the obstacles I've had getting our users to try out OFBiz is the lack of a sandbox where they can try out ideas without corrupting live data. -Adrian --- On Sat, 4/3/10, David E Jones <d...@me.com> wrote: > From: David E Jones <d...@me.com> > Subject: Re: Discussion Multitenant Entity Loading. > To: dev@ofbiz.apache.org > Date: Saturday, April 3, 2010, 12:57 PM > > Why not use the already supported syntax that clearly > separates two very different concepts (ie the delegator name > and the tenant ID)? > > -David > > > On Apr 3, 2010, at 10:07 AM, BJ Freeman wrote: > > > It is important to show the correct way to load tenant > data in a demo so > > users have a model. > > As a stop gap, till a more elaborate scheme is > devised, have an install > > reader for each tenant including the default. > > This should not take any code changes only the way the > install readers > > are setup. > > reader=demotenantdefault > > reader=demotenantDEMO1 > > reader=demotenantDEMO2 > > > > And for Real data > > reader=seedtenantdefault > > reader=seedtenant[teanantID put in by developer] > > > > Separate the Entitymodel.xml for tenant to a separate > file > > TenantEntitymodel.xml > > > > TenantDemoData.xml and TenantEntitymodel.xml would be > loaded under > > demotenantdefault > > > > > > ========================= > > BJ Freeman > > http://bjfreeman.elance.com > > Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation > > <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=93> > > Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> > > > > Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist > > > > Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man > > Linkedin > > <http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1237480&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro> > > > > > >
