Does OFBiz need to be rebuilt after changing the configuration?

[Ted Byers]

After several successful attempts to run OFBiz, on different virtual
machines, with both the default and MySQL databases, I decided to try to
improve perfrmance by having the database on one virtual machine (a MySQL
DB), and OFBiz running on a different virtual machine.  But the question
is, does OFBiz need to be rebuilt after changing the entityengine.xml file
in framework/entity/config?  That is, is that file used to control how
OFBiz is built, of is it read, like, for example, the http.conf file that
Apache's httpd server uses (obviously that httpd server does not need to be
rebuilt if you change the settings in that configuration file).

I guess it boils down to that xml file functioning more like a
configuration file or a makefile.

If I do need to rebuild OFBiz after changing that file, what is the command?

Thanks

Ted

No, You do not need to rebuild the OFBiz after changing XML files.
However, you will need to restart the server to reread the configuration
files. If you change any thing in Java code, you will need to restart
the OFBiz.

Thanks,

Raj

Just a restart ( stop and start ) would be sufficient after the change in
entityengine file.
