Initial Data Loading
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I am new to this kind of setup. I am a C# programmer, and I am used to clicking a couple of times then everything is installed and ready to go. I am wanting to try out the OfBiz application. After hours of trying to get the source code, I managed to download it. Now I am following the installation steps as set out in: http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setu p+Guide I am busy with the section under Initial Data Loading. I have SQL Server 2005, but want to use Postgres database. I have it installed as well. I have added the JDBC driver .rar in the directory which they said I must. Question I must install the data like: java -jar ofbiz.jar -install -readers=seed Where do I get ofbiz.jar from? Question What is the difference between seed and demo? Regards, Brendan |

under OFBiz Installation
#2 is kind of vauge. Means you have to build from the source code to get the jars. Note: reading up on Ant may help.

Recommend that you do not initially to run-install-seed. Also recommend that you do not use postgres initially. Start like this: 1. Download the svn into a directory. 2. Install java and ant and make sure you JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME set up correctly. Sounds like you are using windows, so go to the control panel, and add system environmental variables to reflect the install locations. 3. Run ant run-install This installs some demo data you can play with. 4. startofbiz (it's a batch file) You can then connect to http:\\localhost:8080\webtools\control\main Then, after you have your feet wet and are ready to load your own data into it, 1. ant clean-all 2. ant run-install-seed This just loads the required seed data with no demo stuff in it. You can then use Access or whatever to populate the database with your data. You might want to set up postgres before importing your live data. Note that ant clean-all does not clean out external databases. You have to drop the database and then recreate it to start from scratch.

Skip, Is it really necessary to install ant? On my windows box and Linux I just used what came with the ofbiz package. But am I missing something by using the ofbiz package version?

Hi Case,
When I 1st came to OFBiz in fall 2004 there was no ant.jar in base/lib (it was introduced 2 years ago) and I always forget about that. So no, you do not need any ant Sorry for the trouble Jacques > Jacques, > Yes, I know he's on Windows.

You need ant. I can't imagine that Ofbiz will be 100% OOTB useful and any changes will need to be rebuilt. Also, take it from a diehard Windows/Visual Studio guy, Ant is the best thing since sliced bread.

Me too. Windows is the best development platform on the planet (but I havent tried a Mac to be honest).

The point was that you don't need to download ant separately, it comes bundled

I don't think you would say this if you have used Ubuntu. And if you
install 7.10, you can also have all eye candy things you see in Vista of course without degrading the performance. Eclipse runs best on Ubuntu. Thanks, Raj skip@theDevers wrote: > Jacques > > Me too.

And I think the disk system is for something in it. I use Windows only because I have a lot of tools and habits there. But I use also Ubuntu from time to time and I really like it. When it comes to ressources, Linux is far better, no doubt ! Jacques > > Thanks, > > Raj > > skip@theDevers wrote: > > Jacques > > > > Me too.
