James,

A lot will depend on how you are mapping your data to the ofbiz
tables/entities.  Once you have the mapping you can export the data
into an XML document that matches the <entity-engine-xml>
</entity-engine-xml> format.  Then you can use the ofbiz webtools
application to import the data.  You can look at the
ecommerce/data/Demo*.xml files for examples.

The difficult part is going to be mapping the data correctly.  There
are a lot of foreign key constraints that you must adhere to or the
imports will fail.

Let me know if you need more details.

Hi All,
I work for a small company in Adelaide Australia and we are in the
process of getting OfBiz up and running.

I am facing the daunting task of getting the historical data out of the
old unix based system we are using into OfBiz.

I have looked through the info in the wiki on the go-integral.com
website, however I am still feeling quite under equipped for the task.

Can anyone point me to some more documentation on importing data into OfBiz?

Thanks,
James
