Re:Multitenancy documentation was SOLVED getEntityFieldType(GenericDelegator.java:555) June 10th nightly builds localpostnew

BJ Freeman
I looked at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Multitenancy+support
and
the focus seems to being diluted and confusing.
I suggest some be moved to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Physical+Architecture+patterns+for+OFBiz
as with different pages for different tenant architectures.

Re: Re:Multitenancy documentation was SOLVED getEntityFieldType(GenericDelegator.java:555) June 10th nightly builds localpostnew

Jacques Le Roux

I agree that it should be splitted. But IMO not in pages but clear sections in the same page.
This because it's easier to find the same thing in the same page when you are looking for the information without following a
specific path (ie when using search in wiki or even outside of the wiki)

From https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Physical+Architecture+patterns+for+OFBiz

You propose
Multitenancy Basic Architecture
Multitenancy for Automated self service
Multitenancy support

I think we should 1st check/refactor the current page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Multitenancy+support

And then split in sections following the page you proposed but still in the sole Multitenancy+support page

Also we need to clean the Physical+Architecture+patterns+for+OFBiz page and at some point those pages should be move to OFBiz
Technical Documentation space. Though it's closed and there are less and less efforts in the closed part of the wiki :/, which makes
me wonder about it...

I will be happy to help, what do you think?

Jacques

Re: Multitenancy documentation was SOLVED getEntityFieldType(GenericDelegator.java:555) June 10th nightly builds localpostnew

BJ Freeman
sounds good, I hope you don't mind that I put my energy into the putting
these into the ofbiz dochelp.
http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML
based on my email in Dev,
I decided that it is more productive in my time to put everything in
dockhelp and use webtools converters to go from wiki to dochelp and
dochelp to wiki. Or what every format we decide, like the PDF and Html.
