Removing applications from OfBiz

[Mustansar Mehmood]

Dear ALL,
                My company(a service company) is considering ofbiz as
their ERP/CRM/accounts Receivable  system but Ofbiz seems to have a few
things that my company will not be using for instance E commerce or
Manufacturing/. How do we removed those  applications ? and keep it
running stable.
Regards,
Mustansar Mehmood

Hello Mustansar,
                 You can not remove the any of the complete application.
Each module is related to another module one or other way. Yes but if
you do not want them in your UI to appear. Then you can go into the
ofbiz-component.xml of that particular application and set
app-bar-display="false" in webapp tag. Hope this may help you.

Thanks
Divesh

Mustansar,

I linked a couple of posts answered by some OFBiz experts for you.

Generally, because of dependancies you don't want to "remove" a component,
but rather just "hide" it as talked about in the links above.

If you are still driven to remove the components..As Adrian points out in
the first link, you could go in to the component-load.xml in the
applications directory and comment out the "marketing" line and go into the
component-load.xml and comment out the "ecommerce" line.

Hi Mustansar,

I would suggest to do this in the following way:

1) for all the components in the specialpurpose folder that you don't  
need (e.g. ecommerce): edit their ofbiz-component.xml file end set the  
following attribute in the "ofbiz-component" element:
  enabled="false"
2) for all the components in the application folder that you don't  
need (e.g. manufacturing), you can follow two strategies:
2a) (best one) create accounts for your users without permissions for  
these component, they will disappear from the application tabs
2b) or edit their ofbiz-component.xml file end comment out all the  
"webapp" elements (at the bottom of it)

Ooops, Divesh's suggestion about using app-bar-display is right and  
should be placed as #2b in my list (and old #2b will become #2c)
