Hi Naveen
The way I did it was to remove the 'demo' data files from the application ofbiz-component.xml files and then create my own 'ext' xml files. I included my own Chart of Accounts files as an 'ext'. Then ran ant-run-install ext-seed to load everything in one go.
If you do it this way then you need to watch the file sequencing....the demo data files are put in a specific order and if you create your own and dont put them in the same order then you'll get some conflicts and things wont load.
But I think now there may be an easier way to do it. Have you taken a look at the latest online trunk version that contains the new 'Setup' application?
There is some online help already written around how to use it. Details are as follows:
1. Login to the latest online trunk (
https://demo.ofbiz.org/partymgr/control/main)
2. Press the 'Help' button in the top right hand side of the screen.
3. The online help window will be displayed
4. Click on the 'Setup Overview' and read through the instructions on how to launch and use it.
Hopefully this may be able to help you.
Thanks
Sharan

I too am interested in the answer to this question...
Perhaps the answer should go in the FAQ
