Hello, I have a question about the entity engine in OFBiz, mainly pertaining to how changes to "entitymodel.xml" and seed data are handled when there is already data in the entity.
I've done some searches and experimentation on my own to try and determine this but came up inconclusive results: 1) If more seed data needs to be loaded after the system is already in production, will the seed data loader skip loading records which are already in the entity, and only add the new ones? If not, what is the recommended way to add the new data to the entity if not using the seed data loading functionality? 2) If a schema change is required (i.e. data type change, column addition/removal) how do you go about doing this on a system already in production (which will have existing data), using the entity engine? If it can't be done with just the entity engine and would require an external DB tool to do so, how do you ensure that OFBiz's "entitymodel" is back in sync with the new DB schema? Thanks!
