I am a nube... [email protected] I am a software supplier / developer and have sold an old DOS package for years. I will be migrating many of my 3000 clients over to OFBiz. They are ALL POS Users. I have several dedicated servers at hosting companies. I have spent days reading the OFBiz forum, watching videos, working with the demo data, etc.. but I can't find the answers I need....
1. I want to set up OFBiz with a local (in store) POS (1 or more terminals) connected to a local MySQL Database (Got that figured out.) 2. The majority of my clients only have a single store. 3. I want to be able to "Host" the backend and the e-commerce apps on one of my dedicated servers, and Sync from the stores to the host and back. 4. Some of my clients will have more than 1 store but none will have more than 5 stores. I need some "How-to" help on how to accomplish these goals. I see that I can specify different ports and different databases for each client, however, I don't have a clue as to how to run multiple instances of OFBiz on that dedicated server, so I can have 1 instance per customer. I also don't understand (very well) how to setup the Synching. The main doc is in one place but it talks about the 3 tier scenario, I will only ever need 2 tiers(pos <-> host). I couldn't find anything about that. I noted from a post that I had read that I could "Delete" or "Hide" the apps I don't need at each location. What I mean, is that the Backend code and the e-commerce code are NOT required at each store; and the POS code is not needed on my dedicated server. How do I deal with that? And, if I get all that answered (figured out), then I would also like to know how to import data, typically Inventory, Customers, Vendors, and Employees. My aim is to move as many clients to OFBiz as possible, and I would like to do it without loosing my mind. My skills as a developer is LAMP oriented, but I am a Windows guy (generally, just a Linux user at my hosting co., so I'm crappy at Linux) Please forgive my ignorance, but I have tried to do it on my own, but I'm just stuck, as I ran into the same confusion with the docs as Haris posted.
