Layered lookups
Hi, At r937852 I have commited changes for most lookups to be now layered. There are some exceptions: the lookups called from lookup are not layered. If you find any issues please report here and we will see if it's necessary to create a Jira issue under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3445 for them Thanks Jacques

Multitenant with CAS-LDAP
Hi all, We are using and testing a multitenant version of Ofbiz/Tercompta with purpose ldap (coupled with CAS). When ldap purpose is not used, we are able to choose a tenant in GUI during login. But with ldap/cas there is no GUI! How can we set correct tenantId ? what is best procedure to follow ? modify classes in package org.ofbiz.webapp.control? Customize a LoginWorker for instance? Thanks
Re: ofbiz entity sync.
Done, though I did not refactor all yet has I wanted Jacques From: Jacques Le Roux jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com Hi David, Thanks for you feedback in your 2 last messages. From what I have understood so far, here is an as simple as possible how to, I'd like to put in the wiki. 1st, I will suggest to follow the Sync Setup Notes and Example page in wiki http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/bgFk. I will try to clarify it though. Notably will adapt or move (or even remove) the Fixing Timestamps issues section I previoulsy hastily added as a quick help. Then I will add following tips to use in case of problems (chances are they will appear) Syncing issues If, for any reasons, the syncing has failed and did not recover automatically, you will need to check the status and reset it. For that, use the Entity Sync Status feature in Webtools. If it's still in running state, put it back to not started status in order for the job to pick things again. Note that these jobs should run on the client(s) only and you should not run multi-instances of them. TimeStamp issues 1) Fix the timezone on all machines to be the same (sorry if this is an issue but I can't find another way) 2) use an (preferably the same) NTP server to adjust the time on each machine. Remember that OOTB the minimun period of time used is 5 mins for push (1 hour for pull). So you get any issues as long as your machines have the same time between this window. 3) If you get an issue with foreign keyd because the NTP server adjusted time inside a transaction, use the Check/Update Database feature in Webtools I will also put a link to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ- where there are suggestion for a new way and a link back to this thread All comments are welcome Jacques From: David E Jones d...@me.com A transaction has a lot of overhead, but is a good way to go. For removes the current EntitySync implementation does in fact use a sort of transaction log. The nice thing about timestamps is they tell you what records have been changed since a certain time so you know which records have changes that need to be updated since the last update time. There are issues with multiple app servers if their times are out of sync by more than a few minutes. Most other issues seem to be related to people not understanding how this works and how to handle different issues. Of course, that alone can be fatal flaw in a design and probably is in this case. To really do this you'd have to have a more structured record of the changes than just recording an SQL statement if you want to support syncing from one type of database to another (which is currently supported). -David On Apr 7, 2010, at 3:41 AM, Deyan Tsvetanov wrote: Hi guys, so about the transaction log: I have a table called TRANSLOG with the following structure: CREATE TABLE translog ( id bigserial NOT NULL, table character varying(30) NOT NULL, operation character varying(6) NOT NULL, statement character varying NOT NULL, created_on timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(), CONSTRAINT id_fk PRIMARY KEY (id) ) Records in the TRANSLOG table are being inserted by the triggers for the table we are watching for changes on INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. The STATEMENT column contains executable SQL statement which is generated by the trigger function. The following screenshot shows some data in the TRANSLOG table: So every time some database action is performed on the tables we are watching we get a TRANSLOG entry. Each translog entry has a sequence ID. So when we want to PUSH that transaction log to the main server we actually execute the statements ON the main server. We execute the statements wrapped in a transaction which gets rolled back if an error has occured. The translog push gets invoked by a stored procedure which gets called by a scheduled reoccuring job in ofbiz. For each sync SP execution we store a record in a table called TRANSLOG_EXEC_LOG . There we keep the currently reached translog_id so we know from where to start the next time when the sync SP is invoked. So in general that's the mechanism. Pretty simple to implement, pretty simple to troubleshoot and pretty error resistant . Here's the screenshot of TRANSLOG_EXEC_LOG: The result message could be either OK or the DB error message - either a constraint error or some other error. We always know which was the last successfully executed statement ( last_command_id ). If there is an error then we know at which statement the error has happened - the next after the last successful one.

Trunk VS Release?
Hi people! I'd need some guidance towards which version of OFBiz to choose from. I have a few things to take into account: I'm a single developer, and will in due time be committed full-time by my boss to work on an OFBiz setup for the business. In my line of work I will be asked to: -Develop new features they would like -Enhance features they don't like -Adjust the interface to their needs So I see that there will be a new release branch. Should I use that in production, and use another instance reserved for development? Should I use trunk to provide my users with the bleeding edge version of OFBiz, or will that be far too unstable for their taste? Thank you!
Re: puzzling error on ajp
BJ - This doesn't really answer your question but this is how I handle it. I do not mount any OFBiz webapp with mount point= /. This is because I have had other problems in the past trying to do this and getting OFBiz to find resources such as style sheets and images. There is probably a reasonable explanation and solution but I chose to just avoid it. When using Apache to proxy requests I use a server side include. Here is the content in my index.shtml file: !--#include virtual=/store/control/main -- That's it. So I do not have to mount any OFBiz webapp as root, I can still serve other resources from Apache if I want to. Any mount point I need to proxy to OFBiz is configured in the Apache config file.

Re: Trunk VS Release?
http://ci.apache.org/waterfall?show=ofbiz-trunk will give you the last sucessful build from the trunk. then you can create your mods and additions but doing an ant create-component that puts them in the hotdeploy. this way you can update trunk and not effect your code. then if you created test units in your components you can verify if your code still works. now if you don't what to go to all of that, then plan on using a release which does not change except for bugs. you would then have to watch the commit ml for updates and see if you ca n use them. my 2 cents. = 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=1237480locale=en_UStrk=tab_pro Olivier Tremblay sent the following on 4/26/2010 10:31 AM: Hi people!

Re: SV: accounting
Hi, I recover this topic because I'm working on the adaptation of the spanish accountancy plan (Plan General Contable) to Ofbiz and I think it is reusable for other european countries and also to resolve some doubts. In fact I am working on the low-medium sized companies PGC there is another one for bigger enterprises, but it doesn't matter. The firsts steps I have done are: - I've downloaded the PGC_ES_PYME.cvs from OpenBravo as Jeroen recommended and it contains all the chart accounts. - I've selected the columns that matches the *accountCode glAccountId parentGlAccountId accountName glAccountClassId*. With a little regexp and string replacement I've generated a data xml. I've used OpenBravo reference to know the meanings of the columns ( http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Creating_Accounts_Files) Now, it seems that I have the PGC correctly loaded. I don't know if I have to do more things in order to get the PGC fully integrated. I have some doubts and I hope someone can point me to the right direction: The first thing is related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3411. Regarding to point 1, what are intended for the changes of the parentGlAccountid? In my case I used a few predefined in Ofbiz (asset, liability, revenue, expense, resource) as was referenced on the OpenBravo document. I don't know I will experience some side-effect because I have a very limited knowledge of how accountancy app works internally. I left the GL_ACCOUNT_TYPE_ID and GL_RESOURCE_TYPE_ID with null values. In this case I also don't know what can cause. Another thing concerned to the adaptation is to know how to do auto calculations for some accounts. In the spanish PGC there are a few accounts that are calculated using the values of another ones. It this possible by default? I am probably missing some questions, but I think they will come along the time... Thanks a lot! PS: If it is the interest of somebody I can attach the spanish PGC I have created to the jira or wiki.

Re: Change Item price on a COMPLETED Purchase Order
On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 5:48 PM, BJ Freeman bjf...@free-man.net wrote: you may confused by InventoryItEM and its variance. see the Datamodel book Vol 1 page 84 the product is the item you ordered the inventory item is how many and where located. Inventtory Item has a variance about how many you actually have. Ok, but the scenario is something like this: A purchase order is cut for Product 1, qty 1, price $100.00. That item is then received. The person doing the receiving has no authority to vary the price, only to inspect it and give it a lot number (InventoryItemId.) Inventory record is written. After this, while invoicing, and long after the Order is COMPLETED, we want to change the price, and have that altered price be reflected in the inventory record that was written. I'm obviously not communicating the scenario very well, and I don't understand how inventory variance can change an OrderItem line. I think I solved the problem for my shop by doing exactly that, making it possible to edit the price on an OrderItem after the fact, and having that price change update whatever inventory was received against that item, all while keeping the order closed. What I'm trying to learn is whether there are going to be any strange consequences from doing that.
Meta product ordering (e.g., kits)
A requirement we have is to order and invoice a Kit, but to receive the components of that kit. For example, purchasing will order Product 1. But ProductId 1 is a kit that contains ProductId 10001 QTY 4, ProductID 10002 QTY 1, etc. Receiving will indicate the receipt of the (non-inventory) Kit, but will receive the *components* of the kit into inventory. I have an idea how I will implement this, but I want to again check and see if OFBiz already provides the function I'm describing, and if so, whether it will fit our workflow. -- James McGill Phoenix Arizona
Re: Meta product ordering (e.g., kits)
You'll want to look into the Marketing Package ProductType (and it's subtypes). I'm not sure what the support is like for purchasing as opposed to sales but even if it isn't there it shouldn't be too hard to implement. There is definitely support for deconstructing a marketing package as part of a sales order return so look to that if purchasing doesn't already support it.
