Hi Tom, This question might not be as simple as you think it is. I was also confused the first time I started working with data type. So let me explain things first.
OFBiz has the following types of data (defined in ofbiz-component.xml for each component): - seed: OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along with source and updated whenever a system deployment is updated - seed-initial: OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along with source like other seed data, but only loaded initially and not updated when a system is updated except manually reviewing each line - demo: OFBiz Only Demo Data (also used for testing OFBiz) - ext: External General Data (custom or yours) - ext-test: External Test Data (custom or yours) - ext-demo: External Demo Data (custom or yours) Now this is the tricky part, to get a clean new system in OFBiz you need seed, seed-initial and an admin user login which you can create with the load-admin-user-login ant target. However, this is not a workable system, you don't have a chart of accounts for example, and many basic parameters like stuff in order and accounting have to be inserted manually (I think this is what you are referring to as problems right?) So unfortunately the data loading stuff in OFBiz is a bit complicated at the moment. Creating a Clean system currently is more difficult than building OFBiz with demo data and then deleting unwanted stuff. So here is what I suggest that you do: - First understand what data do you want from the data types mentioned above. Go to the components where you are having problems and check what data are you missing when you do not use load-demo (check ofbiz-component.xml for related data that your are missing) - Get familiar with ant load-readers to load exactly what you want - Alternatively just use the demo data and clean it / shape it to your requirements. I hope I didn't go in the wrong direction and I understood your question correctly. Otherwise nevemind :) Taher Alkhateeb On Friday, 24 June 2016, Tom Running <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings everyone, > > > I have been trying to configure ofbiz version 13 or 14 to work with > Postgre database.
