David will be the best resource for this - he is the original architect of the documents and I'm sure will help you to understand how to make all of this happen.

For those looking at these the first time, the best file to choose is the "AllDiagramsAndTOC_20081030.pdf" file.

After reviewing these files we might want to move the PDF files to a cwiki page and attach them to it, and eliminate them from SVN (they are rather large, and being binary files can't benefit from revision management). I may also go ahead and remove the eomodeld files since they aren't all that useful any more, and are also fairly large (lots of files anyway).

I'll be doing this soon in order to avoid all of these files ending up on the web site on the next update.

In the WebTools app there is a screen to export eomodeld files for different entity groups (ie based on the records in the EntityGroup and related entities).

There is no use in manually changing the eomodeld files, and I wouldn't recommend creating new diagrams based on them either... it would be an ENORMOUS amount of work. The finished diagrams you see are the result of hundreds of hours of work (if I were to guess I'd say about 500 hours).

> 3. software necessary for transformation into pdf documents in different platforms

As I explained in an earlier message software for the eomodeld files only exists in Mac OS X machines (AFAIK anyway). The problem we used for creating these diagrams is called "OmniGraffle". The .graffle files that are needed to change these diagrams are in SVN, in the site/ofbiz_datamodel/graffle_diagrams directory.

The data model diagrams are now on cwiki, available on this page:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Data+Model+Diagrams

Please note that because there is a 20MB limit for files on cwiki the version of the diagrams attached is split into a table of contents (TOC) and 4 files with different page ranges.

If anyone hasn't taken a look at these yet I highly recommend that you do. They are a great resource for training as well as for discussions and reference during developments. I've had an older version of this document in my desk drawer for a couple of years now to use for easy reference.

Enjoy!

-David

Yeah, it probably wouldn't work so well. Those files are rather large, and SVN doesn't handle large files so well, plus the version control isn't all that useful for this sort of file. On top of that the storage and bandwidth requirements are pretty serious for these.

So, vimeo or something is the way to go.

Last time I ran into the limitations a free Vimeo account so today I
purchased a Vimeo Plus account to be used for the OFbiz training videos. I
don't have access to the original videos so I would like to forward the
account details to anybody who is willing to upload them.

I noticed the workflow entities on page 31, is anybody working on this? I
recently bought the Datamodel Resource Book Vol 3 which discribes a similar
pattern around business rules and I was thinking of adding that to OFbiz.

My thought was that the local server (rather than a web site) might
actually be the ideal place for video.  Certainly the warnings on the
old site about downloading, not streaming, suggest that may be the case.
SVN would make updates or additions automatic if/when they happen, which
(so far) has not really been an issue.  

A video component of the local help system, like the docbook system,
might be a good thing as the system grows.  A standard local location,
and standard links to them from the help pages would be good, but
possible language differences etc. militate in favor of it being
optional, and as you say, SVN may not be the optimal way to deal with
it.  When OFBiz goes modular, it may be one kind of module to think
about.

Is there a java equivalent of apt-get, yum, or rpm?

Just a thought.
