Updating OFBiz from 16.11.07 to 17.12.01

[Jukka Palko]

Hello,

I'm basically completely new to OFBiz but not new to system administration in 
general with more than 20 years of Linux and Unix experience.

My question is what are the upgrade procedures for an OFBiz installation. I 
have done a MariaDB database on Debian 10 and configured OFBiz to use that as 
the backend.

The installation was built using command
./gradlew --parallel-threads=8 cleanAll loadDefault

I configured a systemd service file for the installation as follows:
--
[Unit]
Description=OFBiz Service Daemon
After=network.target auditd.service
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
User=ofbiz
WorkingDirectory=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz
ExecStart=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz/gradlew ofbiz
ExecStop=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz/gradlew 'ofbiz --shutdown'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
--

The installation is running fine I guess which is to say that it does not seem 
to complain on any web page I've browsed on it thus far.

However, I did the install while 16.11.07 was the newest version and now there 
is the version 17.12.01 available. What are the update/upgrade steps to move 
my install from the previous version to the new one?


Best regards,
Jukka Palko

Re: Multiple Websites

[Mohammed Rehan Khan]

Hello James,

We have implemented the multisite feature in Ofbiz under the task OFBIZ-7120
. You can find all the
necessary details from here.

To enable the feature, we need to load CmsMultiSiteDemoData.xml
and CmsSiteDemoData.xml data only. These are sample data for multisite. you
can also change it as per your need.

Here are the URLs for accessing these directly.

1) CmsSite(Default) = https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/
2) WebSite-1 = https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/website-1
3) WebSite-2 = https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/website-2

Re: Valid Item Status for partial shipment

[Suraj Khurana]

Yes.

Adding up to this, in fact, OrderReadHelper.*getItemShippedQuantity*
handles *cancelQuantity* effectively. So we can efficiently get desired
results using these methods.

Re: Multiple services run immediately

[Nameet Jain]

Hi Ingo,

To execute two or more independent processes immediately without waiting
for each other to finish, use async mode. The example you shared will do
the thing for you. Here JobPoller takes care of the services in "action".
So if you add one more async service, it will execute independently.

the runSyncIgnore will just ignore the result of service.

Thanks

Re: Multiple services run immediately

[Pawan Verma]

Hi Ingo,

I hope you are well!

Have you tried with mode="sync" instead of mode="async"? It should run both
services simultaneously.

runSyncIgnore is noting but calling service in sync mode without expecting
the output of the service.

If you wanna call services inline you can even try addCommitService.

HTH!

Re: Multiple services run immediately

[Suraj Khurana]

Hello Ingo,

Hope you are doing good.

I am not sure about the environment you are currently trying to achieve
this. IMO, there are two ways:

- For improving performance, we can set up multiple OFBiz servers in
parallel. Yes, we can set up two OFBiz servers, one calling sync service
and another dedicated for async services only.
Here [1] is a reference blog for more details.

- You can increase jobs count in service engine [2], so that your OFBiz
server will be picking more jobs to complete at a time, be careful various
factors are responsible with this approach, like CPU core, deployed OFBiz
memory allocation, maximum DB threads enabled etc.
