hi all, So I've looked at the multi tenant approach (delegators etc.) that have recently been added to ofbiz; good addition! Here's the challenge for me....
I will be setting up a Saas subscription model which will have a combination of trial based (i..e try before you buy) and periodic type subscriptions. This implies that I might have up to 20 users (per day) subscribing to a trial version of my Saas ofbiz impl (mostly accounting, orders, AR, AP, catalog) with a long term periodic subscription prediction of approx 1 per day. So the gist is I will end up with a lot of tenants in the medium term (500) that will join (and probably also periodically go dormant) going up to 1000's; so I am after a 'self service type operational model here (i.e. tenants should be able to register and join at will while they will all be using the same core functionality provided in the modules indicated above). So the key challenge is the operational aspect of the current multi tenant solution which seems to suggest (and I am clearly a novice here folks so pls correct me where I am wrong) that whenever a new tenant is added that there is a support / development /deployment exercise that needs to take place (i.e. compile additional delegators, https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBIZ/multitenancy-support.html seems to indicate "self-service"; is this the case given the high attrition rate (number of users that will join) I am anticipating? if not what would be a suggested approach so i can still have multiple tenant/db instances but that i can make the implementation self sufficient (i.e. not having to redeploy the app/ofbiz for every new tenant that comes along appreciating that the base tenant data for all tenant db instances would be the same) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3540 (interesting comments from Marc; is this perhaps relevant to what I am trying to do?) p.s. i appreciate there has been a lot of discussion on this topic so if the info i am after is already available then point me in the right direction thanks thanks again francois -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/multi-tenant-implementation-tp2538231p2538231.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
