Hi,
I have following queries while writing migration service/s : 1. I have created two new rows in an existing entity. In this case, only exporting data to XML should be done ? 2. Functionality which I have implemented won't work with old data. In that case, how migration process should be carried out ? For example : - In my implementation, I am tracking leave applications against leave balance (i.e. before creating a leave application ,his/her current balance would be checked) - When an already approved leave is rejected, corresponding 'no of leaves'(calculated using a service) gets credited back to his/her balance - But,as per old data, there wont be any (stored) value for 'no of leaves'. - If at all I use above service (for calculating no of leaves from existing dates),it will give rise to inconsistency of data because 'calculated no of leaves' would not be calculated against some 'leave balance' Please guide me in this context. Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Sawant ________________________________ This Email may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient (s) If you are not the intended recipient, please do not use or disseminate the information, notify the sender and delete it from your system. ______________________________________________________________________ |

Hi Jacques,
My implementation is about leave management. Some part of it's functionality is as follows : - Appropriate leave balance data would be there for two basic types of agreements (permanent and contractual) - Agreements would be applied to employee/s and thereby he/she would get some leave balance - Whenever an employee creates new leave application, leave balance would be checked. - Depending on leave balance, leave application may or may not be created In short, I have implemented 'leave balance check' functionality. Now, lets consider old data. We may find that different employees had applied for different number of leaves in total(e.g. empl1 had applied for 40,empl2 had applied for 50 leaves till now ) . So when newly added functionality would be applied to 'such old data' conflicts will be seen in data (as you can not keep on creating new agreements specific to employee to cop-up with no of leaves created by him/her) Please suggest how to tackle this situation.

the Agreement has items that define how, when, and the amount things happen.
so putting the rules in the agreements for past leaves in the only migration needed. The partybenifits is where you put data. this would show past leaves with their from and thru dates, as well as benefit type, and available time. if the Partyrelatinoship is used between company and employee this makes flow easier. since benefits only happen after the relationship is a employment type. the leave balance check should check the benifits types with no thru dates and the avialible time for each benifit type. ========================= BJ Freeman http://bjfreeman.elance.com Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man <http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1237480&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro> Swapnil Sawant sent the following on 7/1/2010 3:19 AM: > Hi Jacques, > > My implementation is about leave management.

Hi BJ,
I have following concerns in migration service you have mentioned below : - In old data, we may see that different employees had taken different number of leaves for different number of times. Hence, its not feasible to decide upon some fixed count(leave balance) which would go into agreement data which migration service would prepare. For example, agreement data like total number of leaves is difficult to be put using migration service for old leave applications because while writing migration services we may not know as to how to adjust all older leave applications into fixed set of agreements(by default 2 i.re. for permanent and contractual) i.e what would be the exact value for 'total number of leaves' considering 'how many times an employee might have taken leaves in past' Problem which I see over here is : After new leave functionality comes into picture, our leave apps would be aligned as per leave balance. But, older leave apps would have different 'no. of leaves and available time per employee' .

here is how the Agreement model should be setup
Agreements is to specify when leaves should happen like every 6 months, or so many hours leave for so many hours worked. In migration, if you want a audit trail, you will need to reconstruct the rules of how the leave was calculated for a given period. if the rules are the same as current then there is no reconstruction necessary. the model for figuring leave A service calculates and updates partybenifits.availabletime, for partybenfits.from to partybenfits.thru, of the partybenfits.benefittype of leave, based on the Agreement. I suggest a nightly run service to do this. As the partybenfits.benefittype of leave is used for partybenfits.from to partybenfits.thru the partybenfits.availabletime field is decremented till zero or the partybenfits.thru is reached. if the partybenfits.thru date is past the current date, then what is left in the available time is no longer usable. if the partybenfits.Fromdate is a date in the future it can not be used in calculating current partybenfits.benefittype of leave for the party. Old leave is specified with the partybenfits.availabletime, if not all used, with partybenfits.from to partybenfits.thru as to when it was available. using this model will not cause a conflict. the migration service will only run once. I have simplified the explantion for clarity. in acutual use you will find the partyID.roletype employee partiesrelationship.roletype employment related to agreement(s) and partybenefits. these would be entityviews. There is normally only one agreement,with many agreementItems. There are many partybenefits records per partyID.roletype employee with a partyrelatiohship.type of employement.

Hi BJ,
In ofbiz leave functionality, currently there is no such concept of 'defined rules for how the leave was calculated for a given period'. Hence, below solution doesn't seem to be feasible from implementation perspective. Hence, we would upload patch for review purpose and would work on 'finding feasible solution for migration services' parallely.
