I am working my way through this in the hope that I will end up with a
working system. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide I have found some information that is wrong or missing. I notice that the page has not been changed since 2012. 1) It says that you need to have ant installed. That is not enough. You also need to have ant-apache-regexp or you will get "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp" 2) It says that you should run ant as "ant run-install" but when you do, the script says that you should have actually run "ant load-demo". 3) There are a lot of warnings about deprecrated methods 4) Not sure if this matters Warning : Module classpath component '/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64' is not valid and will be ignored... 5) A lot of these: "warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.6" 6) Warning that " /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/accounting/specialpurpose/scrum/src/org/ofbiz/scrum/ScrumServices.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations." 7) When trying to follow this "Find the "default" delegator near the top of the file and change the datasource-name attribute value in the group-map tag under it to the name of the data source you modified or created. ", you find that the default delegator has several group-names commented out and several not commented out. In my case, I want to use mySQL which is commented out so I changed that and commented out every other one. The instructions should be a bit clearer about what this means and what is the right configuration of coments and group-maps. 8) In changing the database, the actual : ${ofbiz install dir}/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml file has a note about making the test delegator match the default. This is missing in the documentation. 9) The ant run ends with a wonderful combination of a series of warnings followed by a null pointer and "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" with no tables created in the mySQL database.

I saw a lot of the same errors trying to set up a demo installation on CentOS 6. All of them disappeared when I used the bundled ant instead of the system ant. OFBiz comes with ant 1.9.0, while CentOS 6 has 1.7.1. The wiki page contradicts itself. You should follow the advice in item 2) of the "OFBiz Installation" section and build using "ant" in the ofbiz home directory. Do not follow item 3 of the "Tools Installation" section as there's no need for a system ant. Richard. |

Thanks for the report,
I have updated this page Yikes, I had updated this page but Confluence crashed when saving (took time too crash) and (maybe?) my changes are lost.

Mmm, there are 24 instance or "run-install" (or alike like runinstall :/) in the 5 Confluence OFBiz workspaces... I will clean/update that later...
17 of them are in the wiki (the "OFBiz (Open For Business) Project Open Wiki" Confluence workspace In the meantime, if you register and ask for a contributor access you could clean/update them...

At this point I can only help improve the docs by reporting what I find
when I follow the instructions. I only know what the docs tell me. I really only want to find out if I can set up an order with a backorder and properly account for transactions i 2 currencies. If I could fix the docs, I would not be reading them so closely!!! Re: Number 8) I took a bit of a flyer by actually reading the configuration file even though I do not have any idea about what the function of the "delegator" is and why the code requires a "delegator". The wiki's installation page doesn't actually describe what the relationship is between each of the elements in the file or even what a "delagator" is. As far as I know (44 years of writing code) delegator is not a well defined Computer Science term. No idea if I should even care about a "test delegator" or how it is used. I just read the comment in the XML and noticed that the docs do not include the warning that the XML file does. Perhaps this needs to be added to the wiki or deleted from the XML if it is not required. Re: Number 10) I did not see anything in the docs about the need to create the database but I did that anyway since it seems like the normal thing to do if you are going to write a specification for the MySQL connector - must have DB and name and password of a user that has all the "right" privs on the db that you want to use so I did create it first. I suspect that I missed a note (perhaps invisible) about how the delegator knows which type of database definition (group-map) to look for. I will investigate that further and see if I missed something or if the docs are missing the instructions about what else you need to change to use a db other than Derby. This is edging towards "helping" me which I will request in the user forum since it is not really a developer topic unless I find out that it is problem in the wiki not in my reading (or misreading) of it. I just hope that my comments are helpful in improving the experience for the next person.

If I become an OfBiz user, I will try to contribute in the doc area. I do this in a few other projects which I use. I am not likely to read, fix or write any code but I enjoy editing and bring a great deal of ignorance to the documentation reading process that can be an advantage when reading and questioning documentation.

Anyway we can forget about this, when running it says that load-demo should be used instead, enough IMO

More exploration into the document maze!
1) https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide says that the entityengine.xml is found at ${ofbiz install dir}/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entityconfig.html says that it is found at ofbiz/commonapp/etc/entityengine.xml which does not appear to exist 2) http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entityconfig.htm has the entitygroupfile at *|ofbiz/commonapp/entitydef/entitygroup.xml|*. which is not right. 3) I have not found the missing information that is missing from this section. I assume that there must be someplace where you tell the Entity Engine which delegator you want to use. I think that the nesting of "3 To setup the Entity Engine ...." is not correct "1. If using the default..." looks like a peer to 3 but is actually a child. 1. If you decide not to use the embedded Derby database, check/install your database of choice 2. If necessary, put the correct JDBC driver in: 1. ${ofbiz install dir}/framework/entity/lib/jdbc 2. replacing the old or incorrect version of the driver there (ie copy in with same name to avoid problems with update restoring the old driver later) 3. To setup the Entity Engine to use a different database from the default Derby database. In the: ${ofbiz install dir}/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml file: Modify an existing datasource (near the bottom of the file) or create a new one by copying one of the sample datasources already there and giving it a new unique name 1. If using the default OFBiz transaction manager and connection pool, update the data URI, username and password in the inline-jdbc tag 2. If you want your OFBiz tables in a special schema first create that schema in your database, then set the schema-name attribute on the datasource tag 3. Find the "default" delegator near the top of the file and change the datasource-name attribute value in the group-map tag under it to the name of the data source you modified or created. 4)Iit appears the the instructions about changing the database should also include a note about making a parallel change to the "test delegator" "4. Find the "test-default" delegator (just after the "default" in entityengine.xml) and make the same changes as were made to the "default" in step 3. 5) http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/coreconfig.html also has the wrong location for the property files *|ofbiz/commonapp/etc/|*. It appears that they are actually in "${ofbiz install dir}/framework/base/config". I still have not found the missing step in changing the database from Derby to something else. *| |*On 02/06/2014 3:47 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > > Le 02/06/2014 04:13, Ron Wheeler a écrit : >> At this point I can only help improve the docs by reporting what I >> find when I follow the instructions. >> I only know what the docs tell me. >> >> I really only want to find out if I can set up an order with a >> backorder and properly account for transactions i 2 currencies. >> >> If I could fix the docs, I would not be reading them so closely!!! >> >> Re: Number 8) >> I took a bit of a flyer by actually reading the configuration file >> even though I do not have any idea about what the function of the >> "delegator" is and why the code requires a "delegator".

I am using the 12.04.02 that is recommended on
http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html Glad to hear that these are fixed in another release. The warnings do not seem to cause the ant task to fail (but neither did a null pointer exception and no database:-) ).

I will try to report anything that I see.
I hope that this is helpful. I am getting a bit discouraged about the "ready for primetime" status of OfBiz but I know that developers have a hard time writing documentation for system administrators. I am used to open source and Apache stuff so I am not too surprised. Writing maintainable user docs is not a simple task. Version control in a wiki is not possible and no one likes to throw anything out. You can't replace stale information until you are sure that no one is still using it. You can't update the information to reflect a new version until you have the version ready to go. I am hoping that once OfBiz is installed, it will not require any modifications or maintenance to do the core accounting, order processing and system administration functions.

My impression was that OFBiz cannot be used OOTB due to some incomplete features.
Not sure whether it is still true now.

Hi James,
What are the features that you find incomplete or missing? Regards, Pierre Smits *ORRTIZ.COM <http://www.orrtiz.com>* Services & Solutions for Cloud- Based Manufacturing, Professional Services and Retail & Trade http://www.orrtiz.com |
For example, Ron wanted to test for 2 currencies. But multiple currencies support is not in OFBiz
