Re: Processing 1000 items in Orders takes too long

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

C-libre http://www.c-libre.net/control/main faced the same issue some years ago.
Their clients (agro-alimentary mid sized entreprises) needed such requirements 
for sales also.
They told me they rewrote this part and also refactored the promotions and 
price rules to speed them.
But unfortunalety it's based on Neogia. So, at least for now (the Neogia team works on so called OFBiz add-ons), no synergies are 
possible.

Hi Scott,

No its not the customers who are ordering. These are purchase orders of the
500 facilities (or stores). I think its mostly the sheer number of
inserts/updates that is required to complete the process. I did a similar
application that inserts/updates to the same entities directly to the
database to complete a purchase order and the results, as compared to how
ofbiz does, it wasn't significantly faster. Right now Im finding ways to
divide the work and/or remove this load from the main ofbiz server to give
way for other processes that will be maintained by ofbiz.
What I wanted to try is to implement ofbiz as a tool to manage inventories
and sales of multiple stores; about 500 stores selling about 18,000 products
doing at least 1 sales transaction (average of 4 line items) per minute.
Stores make purchase orders everyday for about 800 products each day. You
mentioned that ofbiz wasnt intended for this kind of use? What would you say
could be managable by ofbiz OOTB (or with minor changes)?

Hi Ian

My guess is that because most people don't order 1000 different products in
a single purchase order the code has never been optimized to deal with that
scenario.  The framework itself can certainly handle it so it's really just
a matter of finding the bottlenecks and improving the offending code.  If
you can locate the portions of code that are slowing things down it will be
easier to offer suggestions on how to improve it.

Use groovy handler of org.ofbiz.webapp.event.GroovyEventHandler to get the
parameters in your controller request.

I suggested the both way, If you want to pass the parameter then use ;

Here the service will get the productPromoCodeId as parameter, note there is

Here are the notes that I took during the ApacheCon 2009 User Round Table.
The conference was a success but I believe was less attended than normal.
I've been to about 6 ofbiz conferences and this one was the least attended
by ofbiz users than others.  I attribute this to the current economic
situation rather than anything else.

 Interestingly, a lot of the comments during the round table were similar to
ones that we have had in the past. The project continues to make progress
but from outsiders it is difficult to measure as some of the new features
takes months to see in the end product.

 There were six people in attendance at the round table. A few had to leave
early to catch planes in the afternoon.  Of those that attended the round
table two were speakers (myself and Ruth). Three of the attendees were
service providers trying to better understand the direction of ofbiz and one
was a new user that was active in other Apache projects and wanted to know
more about ofbiz.


Here are the key comments:

 * Everyone was very interested in the new project that Dave introduced a
couple of weeks ago about a specialized application for small business. They
wanted to know a lot more about this project and what it would include.
There was a lot of excitement about the proposal.  I didn't have a lot of
details to share so I told them to watch the mailing list for more details
on the subject.

 * Most common complaint. The UI for the out of the box ecommerce
application. The general feedback was that from a technical perspective
people like ofbiz but it was difficult to convince key business people that
ofbiz was right for their organization because of the lacking "sizzle" in
the default application.   Non-technical people have a hard time determining
how difficult it is to customize the UI and in a quick review will opt for a
better looking application because that is all they can really evaluate.
The general thought was that the lack of a very nice front end was slowing
the adoption for ofbiz

 * Another suggestion was around content management. The ofbiz CMS is not
fully complete with a UI and business logic. The question was asked if it
was possible to plugin other CSM packages the the Java Content Repository
(JCR).

 * There were some comments on OpenTaps and what it means to OFBiz. This is
always an interesting discussion and I tried to explain the licensing
problems with using OpenTaps. The one benefit people had about using
OpenTaps is that it has a full CRM application that people can use from the
start.  OfBiz is more general and requires more customization.

 * SugarCRM and other similar applications are examples of very large user
communities because the application is a complete solution.  It is difficult
to convince people to use ofbiz because there are pieces that are not
complete and require customization.  The ability to customize is a benefit
for some users but a drawback for others and is a hindrance to wide spread
adoption.

 * Is it possible to break up the components more into separate installable
modules. For example, framework versus applications.  We discussed how this
is currently done but the feedback was to make it easier for people to pick
and choose what components to install.

 * Any plans to integrate a complete rules engine into ofbiz

 * Version control for release branches. Are they plans to do more frequent
releases?  The current download of the nightly build is misleading as user
think it is a stable release build but it is really just the nightly build
from the trunk.

 * It was stated that OFBiz is a unique apache project as it is focused on
business solutions where as most apache projects focus on a single technical
problem.  How that technology is used in an application is generally
irrelevant.  OFBiz is different in that it tries to provide a complete
solution for businesses and users. The feedback was that in the future it
would be nice to attract more end users to the ofbiz apache conference
rather than technical people that implement the solution. This was agreed
that if there were more complete applications that the user community would
grow and all people in the community would benefit.

 * Another strategy for OFBiz would be to define business best practices and
then implement those processes into the applications. This is a difficul

OFBiz already has a core system (like a dos or linux core), it needs a
Windows/GNU(web GUI), perhaps it's time to consider to introduce a new
party who is an expert on this. Please don't confuse the GUI with CSS,
it's on dialog, window, menu, list, form and etc.

Just my 2 cents,

Shi Jinghai/Beijing Langhua Ltd.

PS: please rename the GUI in framework to another name.

Re: auto-fields-service error?

[Scott Gray]

Hi Olivier,

The form is attempting to auto generate the needed fields it needs  
based on the service definition of updatePracticePerson, but that  
definition is missing.  That service is not part of OFBiz itself and  
is probably defined somewhere in the book, you'll need to find it and  
create the service definition and implementation.

Re: Projectmgr - create new project

[Sharan-F]

Hi Pierre

I came across this problem too. After quite a bit of trial and error I found
the permissions that gave full project administration authorities including
allowing the 'New Project' button to be displayed for a user without having
to give them access to the 'FULLADMIN' security group.

I created a new security group called 'PROJECTADMIN_ALL' with the following
permissions:

ASSETMAINT_CREATE
ASSETMAINT_UPDATE
HUMANRES_CREATE
HUMANRES_UPDATE
PARTYMGR_ROLE_CREATE
PARTYMGR_ROLE_UPDATE
PARTYMGR_VIEW
PROJECTMGR_ADMIN ALL
PROJECTMGR_ROLE_TASK_CREATE

PROJECTMGR_TIMESHEET_CREATE
PROJECTMGR_TIMESHEET_UPDATE
WORKEFFORTMGR_ADMIN ALL
WORKEFFORTMGR_CREATE
WORKEFFORTMGR_DELETE
WORKEFFORTMGR_UPDATE

You can try this and see if it helps.

[mathieu tanguay]

Hi everyone,

i'm new to ofbiz, just started playing with it two days ago.
I just ran accross opentaps (downloading it at the moment) and will give it
a try soon.
We are a starting company doing wine importation and we need
erp-crm-ecommerce so Ofbiz seem's very promising to us.
I was wondering what kind of hosting solution is needed by ofbiz in order to
run properly. I looked around but didn't see much information about this
point.
Are most host able to run ofbiz (we are with dreamhost for our website)

thanks

Brett Palmer wrote:

Here are the notes that I took during the ApacheCon 2009 User Round Table.
The conference was a success but I believe was less attended than normal.
I've been to about 6 ofbiz conferences and this one was the least attended
by ofbiz users than others.  I attribute this to the current economic
situation rather than anything else.

 Interestingly, a lot of the comments during the round table were similar to
ones that we have had in the past. The project continues to make progress
but from outsiders it is difficult to measure as some of the new features
takes months to see in the end product.

 There were six people in attendance at the round table. A few had to leave
early to catch planes in the afternoon.  Of those that attended the round
table two were speakers (myself and Ruth). Three of the attendees were
service providers trying to better understand the direction of ofbiz and one
was a new user that was active in other Apache projects and wanted to know
more about ofbiz.


Here are the key comments:

 * Everyone was very interested in the new project that Dave introduced a
couple of weeks ago about a specialized application for small business. They
wanted to know a lot more about this project and what it would include.
There was a lot of excitement about the proposal.  I didn't have a lot of
details to share so I told them to watch the mailing list for more details
on the subject.

 * Most common complaint. The UI for the out of the box ecommerce
application. The general feedback was that from a technical perspective
people like ofbiz but it was difficult to convince key business people that
ofbiz was right for their organization because of the lacking "sizzle" in
the default application.   Non-technical people have a hard time determining
how difficult it is to customize the UI and in a quick review will opt for a
better looking application because that is all they can really evaluate.
The general thought was that the lack of a very nice front end was slowing
the adoption for ofbiz

 * Another suggestion was around content management. The ofbiz CMS is not
fully complete with a UI and business logic. The question was asked if it
was possible to plugin other CSM packages the the Java Content Repository
(JCR).

 * There were some comments on OpenTaps and what it means to OFBiz. This is
always an interesting discussion and I tried to explain the licensing
problems with using OpenTaps. The one benefit people had about using
OpenTaps is that it has a full CRM application that people can use from the
start.  OfBiz is more general and requires more customization.

 * SugarCRM and other similar applications are examples of very large user
communities because the application is a complete solution.  It is difficult
to convince people to use ofbiz because there are pieces that are not
complete and require customization.  The ability to customize is a benefit
for some users but a drawback for others and is a hindrance to wide spread
adoption.

 * Is it possible to break up the components more into separate installable
modules. For example, framework versus applications.  We discussed how this
is currently done but the feedback was to make it easier for people to pick
and choose what components to install.

 * Any plans to integrate a complete rules engine into ofbiz

 * Version control for release branches. Are they plans to do more frequent
releases?  The current download of the nightly build is misleading as user
think it is a stable release build but it is really just the nightly build
from the trunk.

 * It was stated that OFBiz is a unique apache project as it is focused on
business solutions where as most apache projects focus on a single technical
problem.  How that technology is used in an application is generally
irrelevant.  OFBiz is different in that it tries to provide a complete
solution for businesses and users. The feedback was that in the future it
would be nice to attract more end users to the ofbiz apache conference
rather than technical people that implement the solution. This was agreed
that if there were more complete applications that the user community would
grow and all people in the community would benefit.

 * Another strategy for OFBiz would be to define business best practices and
then implement those processes into the applications. This is a difficult
task as all businesses are unique but just as ofbiz adopted a common data
model there most be common business practices that would benefit all
businesses.

 * Improving the integration of the seleniumXml test framework with the
existing ofbiz test framework. Also more examples of tests using the OOTB
ofbiz applications would be desired.

The above comments are notes that I took during the round table discussion.
They are not my own personal opinions but of those of the group.  Please
feel free to comment on these ideas for the benefit of the community.

Re: compile java event.

[swathi]

Sumit,
I did an ant-build.When Iam creating a new record,ie when I click on submit
button it displays me the print statements from createPerson() method on
console.This is because the target for the form  is given as createPerson
and service, createPerson is called from controller.xml and java method is
executed from servicecalled. Iam clear with this. Just one question which I
had was whether the java method,updatePerson() gets executed when service is
called with the tag 
 
Thankyou.

Re: ApacheCon 2009 Round Table User Feedback

[Jacques Le Roux]

Thanks Brett,

This was very intersting to read. It seems that we (OFBiz users) are converging toward the same needs (CMS with JCR, CRM), hopefully 
we will have more strenght to achieve them...
Though I don't expect much for the release process as we still lack human ressources commited toward this goal (and I don't mean 
only commiters).


Few comments inline...

Jacques

From: "Brett Palmer" 

* Another suggestion was around content management. The ofbiz CMS is not
fully complete with a UI and business logic. The question was asked if it
was possible to plugin other CSM packages the the Java Content Repository
(JCR).


There has been discussions on dev ML about replacing the current implementation with something based on JCR (wy not 
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/) but nothing concret for the moment.



* SugarCRM and other similar applications are examples of very large user
communities because the application is a complete solution.  It is difficult
to convince people to use ofbiz because there are pieces that are not
complete and require customization.  The ability to customize is a benefit
for some users but a drawback for others and is a hindrance to wide spread
adoption.


I really thing we are not so far from a complete implementation that could compete wih SugarCRM. Though SugarCRM has quite an 
advance on the ergonomic side...



* Is it possible to break up the components more into separate installable
modules. For example, framework versus applications.  We discussed how this
is currently done but the feedback was to make it easier for people to pick
and choose what components to install.


OSGI ? But is this really a priority for OFBiz ?


* Any plans to integrate a complete rules engine into ofbiz


Drools was suggested sometimes


* Version control for release branches. Are they plans to do more frequent
releases?  The current download of the nightly build is misleading as user
think it is a stable release build but it is really just the nightly build
from the trunk.


I guess this is because we pusch to use the trunk ;o)

Re: compile java event.

[Sumit Pandit]

Did you rebuild application after changes done in Java file? If no then please 
rebuild application with "ant" command. Your print statement must work.

auto-fields-service error?

[Olivier Tremblay]

Hello!

I'm new to OFBiz, and I'm trying to do the tutorial. I've had a  
problem when trying to define the main-decorator.


I get the following error:

org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen  
[component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]:  
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error rendering included form named  
[ListPersons] at location [component://hello1/widget/HelloForms.xml]:  
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error finding Service with name  
updatePracticePerson for auto-fields-service in a form widget (Error  
rendering included form named [ListPersons] at location [component:// 
hello1/widget/HelloForms.xml]: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:  
Error finding Service with name updatePracticePerson for auto-fields- 
service in a form widget)


From my guess, I'm missing some definitions, which I didn't create,  
but there's no place in the tutorial (unless I skipped like 4  
paragraphs for no good reason) where this is shown to me.


Any help please?

Hi,
which ofbiz version/screen are you using ?

I'm fighting with LookUpBulkAddSupplierProducts.groovy used to purchase
order for a few days, because it doesn't work in trunk since r831676

And actually, I think that it needs a complete rewrite but it's quite
difficult using Delegator and xml forms.

The best thing would be to use sql row_number, but even if we could use
it, there will be some pagination problems because the first number of
products is not the same as the final one…

I'm working on it, but I'll not be able to provide something quickly, so
if anybody else want to give a try.


Regards,
Matthieu.

I don't know if there is already an step by step guide, but I will be
writing one shortly, till then you can get an idea by looking at test

RE: Query in Load balancing with job scheduling

[Abhai Chaudhary]

I assume you must have done the database clustering as well. Jobs are 
serialized and stored in a table called "job_sandbox" if all the Ofbiz 
instances hit the same database you will not face any conflict scenario. 
However if you have not...I guess you have an issue.

Hi

We have implemented load balancing in ofbiz for that we have used one
Apache server as load balancer and 2 to 3 OFBiz instances on tomcat server
It is working fine. but I want to know how it is going to effect job
scheduling in ofbiz ?? As if 3 instances of server are running on same
database
then they can conflict in job scheduling.
Also according to me In jobscheduling load balancer will not come in
picture.

ApacheCon 2009 Round Table User Feedback

[Brett Palmer]

Here are the notes that I took during the ApacheCon 2009 User Round Table.
The conference was a success but I believe was less attended than normal.
I've been to about 6 ofbiz conferences and this one was the least attended
by ofbiz users than others.  I attribute this to the current economic
situation rather than anything else.

 Interestingly, a lot of the comments during the round table were similar to
ones that we have had in the past. The project continues to make progress
but from outsiders it is difficult to measure as some of the new features
takes months to see in the end product.

 There were six people in attendance at the round table. A few had to leave
early to catch planes in the afternoon.  Of those that attended the round
table two were speakers (myself and Ruth). Three of the attendees were
service providers trying to better understand the direction of ofbiz and one
was a new user that was active in other Apache projects and wanted to know
more about ofbiz.


Here are the key comments:

 * Everyone was very interested in the new project that Dave introduced a
couple of weeks ago about a specialized application for small business. They
wanted to know a lot more about this project and what it would include.
There was a lot of excitement about the proposal.  I didn't have a lot of
details to share so I told them to watch the mailing list for more details
on the subject.

 * Most common complaint. The UI for the out of the box ecommerce
application. The general feedback was that from a technical perspective
people like ofbiz but it was difficult to convince key business people that
ofbiz was right for their organization because of the lacking "sizzle" in
the default application.   Non-technical people have a hard time determining
how difficult it is to customize the UI and in a quick review will opt for a
better looking application because that is all they can really evaluate.
The general thought was that the lack of a very nice front end was slowing
the adoption for ofbiz

 * Another suggestion was around content management. The ofbiz CMS is not
fully complete with a UI and business logic. The question was asked if it
was possible to plugin other CSM packages the the Java Content Repository
(JCR).

 * There were some comments on OpenTaps and what it means to OFBiz. This is
always an interesting discussion and I tried to explain the licensing
problems with using OpenTaps. The one benefit people had about using
OpenTaps is that it has a full CRM application that people can use from the
start.  OfBiz is more general and requires more customization.

 * SugarCRM and other similar applications are examples of very large user
communities because the application is a complete solution.  It is difficult
to convince people to use ofbiz because there are pieces that are not
complete and require customization.  The ability to customize is a benefit
for some users but a drawback for others and is a hindrance to wide spread
adoption.

 * Is it possible to break up the components more into separate installable
modules. For example, framework versus applications.  We discussed how this
is currently done but the feedback was to make it easier for people to pick
and choose what components to install.

 * Any plans to integrate a complete rules engine into ofbiz

 * Version control for release branches. Are they plans to do more frequent
releases?  The current download of the nightly build is misleading as user
think it is a stable release build but it is really just the nightly build
from the trunk.

 * It was stated that OFBiz is a unique apache project as it is focused on
business solutions where as most apache projects focus on a single technical
problem.  How that technology is used in an application is generally
irrelevant.  OFBiz is different in that it tries to provide a complete
solution for businesses and users. The feedback was that in the future it
would be nice to attract more end users to the ofbiz apache conference
rather than technical people that implement the solution. This was agreed
that if there were more complete applications that the user community would
grow and all people in the community would benefit.

 * Another strategy for OFBiz would be to define business best practices and
then implement those processes into the applications. This is a difficult
task as all businesses are unique but just as ofbiz adopted a common data
model there most be common business practices that would benefit all
businesses.

 * Improving the integration of the seleniumXml test framework with the
existing ofbiz test framework. Also more examples of tests using the OOTB
ofbiz applications would be desired.

The above comments are notes that I took during the round table discussion.
They are not my own personal opinions but of those of the group.  Please
feel free to comment on these ideas for the benefit of the community.

Overall, the people attending the conference commented that they would like
OFBiz to

It really helps me to understand the relationships between all the

A while back I started writing an Entity Engine cook book with examples

Hi Zhibin,

Delete feature is lil. bit in secure(unfortunate delete will impact

business). May be because of this reason, delete action for catalog and
category was not provided from years.

if you want to delete, write a stored procedure to delete 
catalog/category.
Otherwise, expire them to maintain it as historical data(sometimes, 
it is

important in ecommerce industry to maintain historical data.).

Re: Projectmgr - create new project

[Pierre Smits]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your insights.

Resetting security rights for the user I found where the problem lies.

When the user only has full admin the button shows, but when the user has
also roles PROJECTADMIN it loses the right to create new projects.
When the user has both security roles FULLADMIN and PROJECTUSER it has the
right to create new projects.

This would seem to me as an undesirable solution.
When the user has the PROJECTADMIN or FULLADMIN security roles he should be
able to create new projects
When the user has only PROJECTUSER as the security role he shouldn't be able
to create new projects.

If you agree to above I will create a jira for this.

Pierre

Subject: Re: How to delete a catalog or catagory ?

Hi Zhibin,

Delete feature is lil. bit in secure(unfortunate delete will impact more on
business). May be because of this reason, delete action for catalog and
category was not provided from years.

if you want to delete, write a stored procedure to delete catalog/category.
Otherwise, expire them to maintain it as historical data(sometimes, it is
important in ecommerce industry to maintain historical data.).

Re: Projectmgr - create new project

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Pierre,

i created a new user, assigned the "fulladmin" security group logged in
as that user and could create a new project.

Indeed the 'new project' button did not appear in the business theme,
however in the good old flat grey scheme it did show up.

You can create a jira issue for the missing button, which i could
imagine could be a problem at more places than here.

Regards,
Hans

Query in Load balancing with job scheduling

[Pankaj . Jain]

Hi 

We have implemented load balancing in ofbiz for that we have used one 
Apache server as load balancer and 2 to 3 OFBiz instances on tomcat server
It is working fine. but I want to know how it is going to effect job 
scheduling in ofbiz ?? As if 3 instances of server are running on same 
database 
then they can conflict in job scheduling.
Also according to me In jobscheduling load balancer will not come in 
picture.

Thanks & Regards:

Projectmgr - create new project

[Pierre Smits]

Hi all,

I have created a new party in OfBiz. And this party has the same roles and
security permissions as Admin.

When I log in as this new party I go to the projects overview in
projectmgr.

But with this new user I am not able to create projects from the projects
overview (i don''t see the 'New project'-button).

When I go to an existing project I do see the New project-button, and when I
click that and fill out the form and hit save I get following error:

*The Following Errors Occurred:*

*You have no access to the project#: *

Am I missing something regarding party roles and/or security settings?
