creating new facility in Ofbiz

Hi ,

I do not see any "Add Facility" in "Application" > "Facility"
is it not possible or required ?

The original requirement is to Create an Employee which has following
dependencies .

Employee requires a "Store"
Store requires "Inventory Facility Id"

Yes indeed, it's a known bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5321

Hi Rajesh,

There is an option available to add the new facility. Go to "Application" >
"Facility" and select any available facility. Click on Submit button. It
will open the detail screen of the facility. On this screen, you will get
the button to "Create New Facility".

Improvement can be done over here by adding the "Create New Facility"
button on Facility Selection screen itself instead of overview screen.

Hi Pritam ,

Thanks for the response.

But i am trying to setup the things without loading the demo data.
So in my case there is no available facility.

BTW if it is a matter of navigation only , then can/should i access the
create form directly (via address bar) ?

Pritam thanks for the hint :-)

it is awkward but accessing /facility/control/EditFacility from
the address bar did help me pass my current hurdle .

I could create the new facility.

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Rajesh,

I see your several conversation on setting up the instance for production.
I would suggest instead of changing or editing the data from application UI
you should try to use existing demo data setup for facility, store etc.
copy them in separate xml file.

Edit the data as per your requirement. Finally, remove the demo readers and
load the data for your application with separate custom reader.

In this way you will have all history of changes you are doing for your
application. Also this practice should be follow for customization.

HTH!

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Thanks Rishi ,

Is there no risk of introducing referential integrity issues if
I edit the ( copy of ) demo data by hand and load it subsequently ?

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

You just need to take care of either your copy or demo data will load. Or
You can also change the PKs while editing.

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Hi Rishi ,

Firstly , Thanks for the response.

There in total 36 Demo Data files.
If i delete records in some xml and there is a (fkey) reference to
the deleted record in some other xml how does the system behave ?

lets consider the id "DemoSupplier" which is present in PartyDemoData.xml
as well as DemoPaymentsInvoices.xml

$ grep DemoSupplier `cat list`

*./party/data/PartyDemoData.**xml: * <Party partyId="DemoSupplier"
statusId="PARTY_ENABLED"/>
*./accounting/data/**DemoPaymentsInvoices.xml: * <AcctgTransEntry
acctgTransId="8005" acctgTransEntrySeqId="00002"
acctgTransEntryTypeId="_NA_" partyId="DemoSupplier"
roleTypeId="BILL_FROM_VENDOR" glAccountTypeId="ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE"
glAccountId="210000" organizationPartyId="Company" amount="33.99"
currencyUomId="USD" origAmount="33.99" origCurrencyUomId="USD"
debitCreditFlag="C" reconcileStatusId="AES_NOT_RECONCILED"/>

suppose i delete DemoSupplier from PartyData and forget to delete in
DemoPaymentsInvoices , will it not
be an issue ?

I still feel an enduser should be able/allowed to bring the instance to a
usable form starting from seed,seed-initial (
which are maintained along with code)

In my case certain functions of the software were failing in doing so which
is the reason i took the other route.

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Rajesh,

You will need to list out all the data you want to override. And then start
copying the selective data for edition.

Please see response inline.

I wanted to say, copy the files in your custom component, edit the data as
per your requirement and add new reader to load that data. While copying
the data you need to be selective on what data you want in your system.

References in other entity will effect for sure. All general db practices
applicable here as well.

Big +1 for this, and it should work how you are expecting. I remember
Sharan Foga also faced similar issue in past.

Community, I feel we should proceed to fix the behavior mentioned here. I
completely agree on seed and seed-initial data should be enough to bring
the instance usable. Please let me know if agree then will log jira ticket
for the same. Thanks!

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Hi Rishi / List members,

My problem is eventually sorted out and of course there are multiple
solutions and approaches. part of the solution is also the fact that I
have become less fussy about some of the demo data that will
stick around.

I 'settled' with loading the demo data but omitting few transactional
data that were showing up in AR and AP and balance sheets. Even if
some demo data sticks around i feel its harmless.

(of course i will take steps to change the passwords , as described in
docs)

@Rishi ,
thanks for understanding and supporting the concern of no being able
to start with seed,seed-initial.

Also a big thanks to the everyone in community for being supportive
to newbies.

(
Gripe: I wish there were a slack channel for ofbiz , it would have been so
much more fun ;-)
)

Please NO :D (maybe more fun for you ;))

Async (ie emails) exchanges are more suited for people offering small amount of time while working on paid custom projects, long discussions or
repeated exchanges don't fit...

That's why I recently changed the title/topic on our HipChat room from
"Apache OFBiz "
to
"Apache OFBiz Room. This is more for chatting. For technical questions, it's better to ask on [hidden email].
See: http://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html Thanks"

Re: creating new facility in Ofbiz

Hi Jacques ,

by slack i meant some sort of chatroom only. I see that hipchat is almost
like slack.
good to know . may be we mention it @ http://ofbiz.apache.org/community.html
I agree with the distinction of purposes of chatroom and mailing list.

In reply to this post by Rajesh Mallah

Hi Rajesh

Myself and Craig Parker are working through, testing and documenting the process of getting OFBiz up and running with the seed data, so I completely agree that this option needs to be available for our user community.

As we come across any functionality that breaks with the seed data loads we will create a Jira.

Thanks
Sharan

Yes I know Slack, I have used it with a team during one year. There are pro and cons aspects.
While I must say I enjoyed working with it with a small team, I also understand (and support) the cons aspects some wrote about.

In one word I prefer to answer async, because there is no "intrusions", I can decide when I answer.
This preserves the context I have in mind which takes sometimes some time to "load" or "reload"...

BTW Slack is far better (actually incomparable) than HipChat (that the ASF has for free, unlike Slack)

We have a "OFBiz Chat Room (HipChat)" link on main page
But that's a good idea I'll put a link there too

Thanks Stimits ,

for pointing out the JIRA issue . I feel its the same issue. It will be
nice if the issue is upvoted in JIRA .
The same issue is manifesting in different forms and i feel would mostly
affect newbies.
I would definitely upvote it once i have access there.
