Production Setup XML

[Martin Kaiser]

Hi all,

I'm just setting up an production environment and I want to load some data
similar to the demo data but with my own company data into ofbiz while
installing it. Is there somewhere a demo/template XML file which I could
adjust to fit my needs, or do I have to go through all folders finding the
demo data, copying it and making it available through the ext data reader?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Maybe  you can do an xml export of your data from ofbiz tools and then
remove or modify values ?

Hi Pierre,

thank you. I did this, and now I have a folder with around 500 XMLs
containing all the data. So this means that I will have a lot of work
looking which data is required and which I could throw away. Also this
gives me the seed data, which is already present in the installation.

I just only want the minimal things required to successfully deploy OFBiz.
So this is setting up the company, an administrator account, and beeing
able to use all the components that come with OFBiz. But I don't know which
files of the demo data I have to modify to achive this.

How can I do a plain installation of OFBiz with only the minimal
requirements to login and one single company? How do you this?

best,
Martin

I just found something on the net what is called "OFBiz setup wizard" or
"Business Setup Wizard for OFBiz". Does this still exist? Where can I find
it?

best,
Martin

Hy martin,

#1 If you don't want to spend time to understand what you are doing,
then you can use entity xml export :
    - run seed reader
    - run demo reader (by webtools)
    - export with filter on date time creation
By this way you get only demo data.

#2 If you want to understand what you are doing, then this is the job of
integration and it takes times and expertise.
I create a new xml files from scratch in which i copy and modify xml
lines from demo data files that i want to use. The first time you do the
job it takes a long time. But it can be reuse for next integration.

Ok, it seems that I will go for #1.5 ;-)

Getting just the demo data and then copying just the stuff I need.

Thank you.

You may also try  the setup app but then only seeds must be loaded, else it will not show

Hi Chung

You can find the setup wizard by using the URL /ofbizsetup/control/main

Before going thru the wizard you should install ofbiz with seed and
seed-initial reeder. After that be sure to set an initial password for the
admin user (else you cannot login). Then everything else goes straight
forward. You will result in a clean installation.

Best,
Martin
