New Implementation - OfBiz - redgrape.tech - Indian context

[Rajesh Mallah]

Hi Paul ,

I did select the PartyGroup  In the screen /accounting/control/AddCompany
As a matter of fact the PartyGroup entry comes in dropdown only when it
has INTERNAL_ORGANIZATIO  role.

As mentioned i get following message in log line:

2017-08-24 08:52:28,505 |ttp-nio-8080-exec-10
|PrimaryKeyFinder              |I| Returning null because found incomplete
primary key in find: [GenericEntity:PartyNameView][partyId,null()]


not sure if its related.

Please note: I have not loaded the demo data , only seed and see-initial
and attempting to
                     create a minimal working set.

Hi Jacques / Everyone ,

I am now taking the route of loading data via ext reader.
I wish stock Ofbiz were more easier for first timers   :-)

Hello Mr Hans / List ,

I discovered that the fairly useful tool ofbizsetup   is triggered on

(1) loading seed,seed-initial data
(2) accessing  the url http://localhost:8080/ofbizsetup

I found the info here:
http://markmail.org/message/zu7ek7k336lzde7n

I am not sure if this facility is still being developed or its deprecated.
as there was not much discussion over it in current context or even a
single mention in README.md

till now i am seeing a fairly usable state of instance to work with.
