Getting to know ofbiz

[wp.rauchholz]

I started testing ofbiz by configuring en empty database to build a data model from scratch. I do have first question (more to come I guess):
(1) How can I update exchange rates and unit of measure conversions?
(2) How can I create / delete FX rates and units of measures?
(3) I created  the admin user using the following command: ./gradlew loadAdminUserLogin -PuserLoginId=MyUserName
This allows me to log into ofbiz. I created now an employee and wanted to connect this employee with the   MyUserName. This creates an error saying the user name already exists. Is there a workaround for this?
(4) I cannot find a howto to configure BIRT. Please point me to one
(5) When logging in, ofbiz goes to my portal poage and opens with a very long error message. This message does not prevent me from working, but still....
:ERROR MESSAGE:
org.apache.ofbiz.widget.renderer.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen [component://common/widget/PortalPageScreens.xml#showPortalPage]:...............


Thank you.

Hello Wolfgang,

1) Exchange Rates: Accounting --> Global GL Settings --> Foreign Exchange Rates
UomConversion - I think there is no screen for that. You can edit those values either by using the webtools (add/update/delete see Entity Engine - UomConversion) or using the XML import (webtools - import/export - XML Data Import) to add/update values. Heres an example of minute to seconds:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entity-engine-xml>
        <UomConversion uomId="TF_min" uomIdTo="TF_s" conversionFactor="60.0"/>
</entity-engine-xml>

2) setting a through-Date in the past will disable the exchange rate.
3) Web-Tools --> Entity Engine - search for UserLogin entity (userLoginId MyUserName) --> view --> edit --> enter the partyId of your employee. You will then find the userlogin on the party screen.
4) what do you mean by configure? What is your goal?
5) Create a portal page with ID: MYPORTAL, Owner User Login ID: userLoginId (MyUserName)

Best regards,
Ingo

Please check the UomConversion entity, you can upload your conversion rates
using xml files from webtools. Many example of xml files exists in OFBiz
including conversion xml data.

Please refer Uom and UomConversion entity. It should be seed data for your
application.

From the party profile screen under party manager application, you can
create a new user and associate the user to FULLADMIN group should solve
your problem.

To enable birt you need to download its plugin. Steps mentioned in the
README.adoc
Quick Reference: gradlew pullPluginSource -PpluginId=ecommerce

Not sure if this is setup problem or bug. Can you please share your setup
steps or the data you have loaded so far. May be you can file a TIcket and
share the details if setup is correct at your end.
