Re: OFBIZ Manufacturing
Pierre - While I do not claim to be an expert in Manufacturing, I'm helping customize Ofbiz for a Food Sevices Industry in a Franchise Model where Ofbiz Manufacturing be the food kitchen; Additionally the following modules, being used - MyPortal : Dashboard - Order Manager: Purchase , Sales Orders, Transfer Orders - Party Manager : Suppliers, Users Customers - SFA : Sales Forecast - Facility : Inventory Shipping -Manufacturing: MRP in Manufacturing, very handy for automating Requirements management As far as ESB integration goes, Ofbiz being based on Service based Architecture, should come very handy; I'm guessing you will have some work to do to be able to make individual modules, loosely coupled using ESB Goodluck with your efforts! - Regards Sakthi On 4/10/12, Pierre Smits pierre.sm...@gmail.com wrote: Dear all, Currently I am participating in the collaboration project IMAGINE - Innovative End-to-End Management of Dynamic Manufacturing Networks, that resides under the theme Virtual Factories and Enterprises as part of the FP7 Programme of the EU. The goal of this project is to enable SME Manufacturing Enterprises in the EU market space to shorten the time-to-market of their product by assisting manufacturing customers in forming partnerships with suppliers and a better exchange of information and data throughout the lifecycle of the partnership. During methodology studies it is envisioned that exchange of information and data entails 4 interlocking areas, namely: 1. Partner blueprints - All static information (and data) re organization and human entities, including connection mechanisms (addresses and such) of the participating organization 2. Manufacture blueprints - All static information (and data) re products (e.g. pricing, QoS re delivery, mBOM's, eBOM's and such) 3. End-2-End blueprints - All dynamic information (and data) re inputs and output of the process segments, in customer to supplier end-2-end processes while manufacturing the goods (but also including process definitions in BPEL, BPMN and xPDL) 4. QA blueprints - All information (and data) relating to maintaining the QoS requirements of the organization and establishing/enhancing trust between (potential) partners (encompassing org. certification, e.g. ISO 9000, but also product certification, and more) All to be facilitated through established Open Standards and Technolgies. In the methodology studies it was also envisioned that, while initial profiling should start by registering company and lead contact persons and their mechanisms in a portal solution (currently intended OS product: Liferay, part of the envisioned IMAGINE platform), as soon as the connection mechanisms regarding service adapters are setup and verified systems like CRM, Manufacturing, ProjectMgt and Warehousing connect through the IMAGINE platform (mainly OS ESB like Servicemix - while providing dashboard functionalities in the portal for participants that are not (yet) at the highest level of maturity regarding partnering - e.g. uploading data through spreadsheets and info via PDF and such). As this project still has a lifespan of approx 2 years left and system integration has no started yet, it is my belief that OFBiz could be in the front runner position and create a name in the EU market space regarding Open Source ERP in general and Manufacturing in particular combined with info and data exchange through ESBs. Which is a huge opportunity for us. Thinking of the possibilites I foresee following use-cases (amongst others) to be applicable: - When the initial registration of the company has been realized and the connection mechanism regarding the ESB connectivity has been setup and verified the information relating the Partner blueprint is provided by means of the data available/maintained in the Party component - When potential suppliers are identified through the search capabilities in the portal the data contained there (Party data et all) is pulled/delivered into the SCM (through the ESB) - When potential customers are identified through the seach capabilities in the portal the data contained thee is pulled/delivered into the CRM (through the ESB) - When potential suppliers are initially contacted and a connection is being negotiated more data is pullled from and/or delivered to Product Catalog and Manufacturing (through the ESB) - When an agreement is concluded this is also pulled/delivered in the system of the participant(s) - When proces segments are started, executed and concluded information (date) thereabout are pulled/delivered into the ERP system of the customer (also through the ESB) and send to the portal for dashboarding purpopes. Unfortunately I am not that well experienced in Manufacturing, establishing ESB integration for OFBiz and delivering data from one system (like

So if you close the terminal session you also close OFBiz. I tested, as I thought ant start does the same. Another solution, already suggested by Hans, could be to have only Symbolic Links (to tools/start|stopofbiz.sh) in root. I think it would be the easier solution for everybody. But I did no test the no-print behaviour. Jacques From: Jacopo Cappellato jacopo.cappell...@hotwaxmedia.com Jacques, could you please provide more details about the issues you are experiencing?

So I used the good old ./ like before. Note that OOTB ant start (or later ofbiz start) should generate the same issue. We could of course change that but I finally think Hans is right with his *pragmatic* approach of keeping at least start/stopofbiz.sh in OFBiz root... I will avoid much issues for people running under Linux, ie almost all of OFBiz users... Then this *should be documented* (why it's there and not with other scripts in tools) and we could remove start/stopofbiz.sh from tools to keep only one version of each start/stopofbiz.sh scripts. Note that this is not a problem for Windows users: startofbiz.bat scripts works the same from tools Jacques From: Jacques Le Roux jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com When the start/stopofbiz.sh will be removed from root and ant.sh renamed ofbiz.sh, remember to change the related demo scripts I already done for tools and load-demo in trunk-manual.sh Will be soon restarting Jacques From: Jacques Le Roux jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com From: Jacques Le Roux jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com OK I think it's not a code issue but only a conflict in applications/product/config/ProductUiLabels.xml.

Re: Alternatives to using UserLoginId as a primary key
Brett - My thoughts - - System generated UserIds might be hard for the users to remember; - Changing UsersIds of a Person is not that difficult afterall; You might want to assign a new UserId to the User from PartyManager and disable the existing one; - Sakthi On 2/17/12, Brett Palmer brettgpal...@gmail.com wrote: We have an application based on the ofbiz framework for online testing. We use the ofbiz user authentication and userLoginId as designed by ofbiz. The problem is that often teachers and students incorrectly register in the system with a specific userId. Then they call up and want to change their userId because it doesn't match their actual ID. It is difficult to change the userLoginId for a person once it has been assigned to a person. We would like the UserLoginId to work similarly to how the PartyId works. PartyId is a system generated ID that is assigned to a Person, PartyGroup, etc. As a system generated ID it gives us a lot of flexibility in how it is used. It also allow us to make changes easily like changing a person's name, etc. A few months ago there was some discussion in the forums about alternative to how UserLoginId is used in the system. Has anyone come up with an alternative to the default implementation of UserLoginId. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Brett -- Sent from my mobile device
