Hi
I've just come across some OFBiz Technical documentation that is stored here. http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs They are referenced by some of the documents and guides in the OFBTECH Technical documentation. As part of the documentation review and consolidation effort - do we need to look at reviewing these too and eventually bring them across to the Wiki? Thanks Sharan |
Those documents are extremely old and consequently most of the
information in them is wrong. It is nice to have them as a reference (so the good bits of information can be copied to current docs), but they should not be displayed or referenced in any new documentation.

Thanks for the clarification Adrian.

What would be your suggestion about existing documentation that refers
to them? - Should we remove the reference? - Somehow flag the reference as potentially misleading and out of date? - Create new descriptions that only deal with the part of te reference that pertains to the subject in the referencing document? Can someone who knows OfBiz, give an assessment of each of the docs about what are the problems with the HTML docs and what would it take to fix or replace them with updated content? Which ones are worth copying to the wiki? config_deploy_maint.html control.html core.html coreconfig.html datafile.html entity.html entityconfig.html minilang.html regions.html serviceconfig.html services.html taglib.html wf_cal_spec_chart.html workflow.html Ron On 25/08/2014 7:36 AM, Adrian Crum wrote: > Those documents are extremely old and consequently most of the > information in them is wrong.

Sharan, as a committer, you have write access to these documents, they are at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site/docs, the whole site is at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site Because of the possible importance of these documents (even if old), I began to review them in detail by section. They should be marked as Obsolete in most case I guess, I will confirm below... Here is my 1st attempt: config_deploy_maint.html, this document is based on OFBiz 3.0! Introduction Building Blocks Nothing, important can be discarded Setting Up a Database Obsolete, can be discarded Downloading and Installing Java - java.sun.com Obsolete, can be discarded OFBiz Getting OFBiz Obsolete, we have better documents, can be discarded Deploying & Configuring OFBiz jndiservers.xml Obsolete, we have better documents, can be discarded entityengine.xml Check the content, maybe not all is covered elsewhere (setup doc) Servlet & JSP Container Obsolete, can be discarded Transaction Manager Obsolete, can be discarded Connection Pool Obsolete, can be discarded JMS Configuration N/A, discard URL Settings We have better documents, can be discarded (content to be compared to tech setup maybe) Cache Settings & Analysis We have better documents, can be discarded (content to be compared to tech setup maybe) Keeping Up With OFBiz The rest is empty => discard! Restarting versus Run-time Changable The OFBiz WebTools Performance & Reliability eCommerce Specific As you can see, we can neglect this document, I will do a review of others the same way, but w/o as much comments, see below...
