Hi Tom,
This question might not be as simple as you think it is. I was also
confused the first time I started working with data type. So let me explain
things first.
OFBiz has the following types of data (defined in ofbiz-component.xml for
each component):
- seed: OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along with source
and updated whenever a system deployment is updated
- seed-initial: OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along with
source like other seed data, but only loaded initially and not updated when
a system is updated except manually reviewing each line
- demo: OFBiz Only Demo Data (also used for testing OFBiz)
- ext: External General Data (custom or yours)
- ext-test: External Test Data (custom or yours)
- ext-demo: External Demo Data (custom or yours)
Now this is the tricky part, to get a clean new system in OFBiz you need
seed, seed-initial and an admin user login which you can create with the
load-admin-user-login ant target. However, this is not a workable system,
you don't have a chart of accounts for example, and many basic
parameters like stuff in order and accounting have to be inserted manually
(I think this is what you are referring to as problems right?)
So unfortunately the data loading stuff in OFBiz is a bit complicated at
the moment. Creating a Clean system currently is more difficult than
building OFBiz with demo data and then deleting unwanted stuff. So here is
what I suggest that you do:
- First understand what data do you want from the data types mentioned
above. Go to the components where you are having problems and check what
data are you missing when you do not use load-demo (check
ofbiz-component.xml for related data that your are missing)
- Get familiar with ant load-readers to load exactly what you want
- Alternatively just use the demo data and clean it / shape it to your
requirements.
I hope I didn't go in the wrong direction and I understood your question
correctly. Otherwise nevemind :)
