Entity description - tables, columns & their use

[Vedam B]

Hi all,

Need help to understand the entity.

Is there any source where all the entities (tables, columns & their use) in
OFBiz are listed with description.

My primary focus is on Product, Catalog, Category, Product Store.


Regards
Vedam.

[BJ Freeman]

have you looked at the entities you self?
they have descriptions being added to them, as of late.
the best source is the run ofbiz as localhost and use the webtools. User
the ver 4.0 branch.
https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/main
look under
Entity Engine Tools and Service Engine Tools

Hi,

I am looking for field description in each entity some thing similar as
written by David @
http://lists.ofbiz.org/pipermail/users/2004-May/003934.html

<<What is the intention of the require amount field>>

*<<The require amount field is for products that have some sort of quantity
naturally associated with them. Right now the only example of this is a gift
card where you enter the dollar/currency amount desired.
For instance, I want 2 gift cards for $75 each, the "75" would be the amount
collected if the require amount field is set.

This could also be used for things like rope, liquid, etc. >>*
Is there any source, where all the fields are explained?

Regards
Vedam

The Data Model Resource book would be helpful.

that you should be able to see in each entity as they are updated.
but if you use the relationship on the entities, in webtools you will
see how they are used and connected.
and if you load the seed and demo data you will see the type of data
that is stored.

Hi,

I have referred both volume 1 & volume 2, but few fields are not available.

Vedam,

I'm gonna try to comprehensively document all such ERP-related stuff in OFBiz, starting next year
Feb. You wanna join me? It's gonna be a huge project. Yeah, OFBiz is that huge.

Currently, as suggested by BJ, we need to figure out the meaning of those fields by
reverse-engineering on-the-fly, as and when we need to. Familiarity with OFBiz framework will be
necessary for such tasks.

You may find some information in http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Undersun+Doc+Site+PDF+Exports

Hey Jonathan,

I would like to join you in this effort. Let me know what the next steps
are. I expect coming up with some sort of format.

Thanks, Case

Why would this not be something done in the wiki?

[Adrian Crum]

Keeping the Wiki updated to the latest SVN would be difficult. The idea is to make the entity
definitions self-documenting.

Even if it would be interesting to try again to wrap up the (parallel)
effort (discussed in several occasion in the past) to set up an online
documentation system, based on a wiki site of course maintained by the
community. Now that the community is growing I would be curious to see
if the thing is doable.
We could then have several layers of (online) information: screen level
information (community wiki or similar), and if not available, the field
level information based on entity meta data.

[Adrian Crum]

Jacopo,

I believe that a Wiki version of the entity reference screen would be a valuable asset to the
community. I'm hoping my efforts will enable someone to run a nightly process (similar to the Hotwax
demo site) that would update the Wiki with the latest entity metadata.

I'm about to create the patch that enables the entity model classes to expose the metadata. After
that I will convert the entityRefMain.bsh file to a service that can be invoked by an external process.

I'll leave it up to someone else to tie it all together.

-Adrian

Adrian,

I apologize but I was not very clear. I do really think that the
metadata (data model) information is a *valuable* source of information
and should really stay in the trunk, your work will be of great help.
On the other hand, the wiki style documentation could be useful for
screen level online help, even if the pulling the metadata information
would be helpful too (e.g. the screen widget could automatically pull
information from field's metadata).

I understood what you were saying. I was agreeing with you. ;-)

I agree. That will be another project for another day.

My concern was the contribution agreement to commit, and the ease with
which someone without an agreement can add to the wiki.

The wiki can also act as a "staging area" for information headed for
committing, but a similar issue arises, unless contributions to the wiki
are automatically considered to be under community license compatible with
a commit.

[BJ Freeman]

To my knowledge only submission to the Jira with the Apache license
approval are committed.

Kenneth,

If the entity reference was set up in the Wiki as I proposed, then anyone wanting to contribute
toward updating the Wiki entity reference would simply submit a patch to Jira. With one patch two
things are kept up to date - the source code and the Wiki.
