Hazmat and other data

[Iain Fogg <ia...@westnet.com.au>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is safe to delete/not install hazmat, model year, 
and equipment class data?

I am loading (or trying to load) a clean OFBiz installation with only 
the seed data and the data for my application/installation. A quick 
google and grep of the code suggest that the hazmat product feature data 
has all sorts of application components depending on it, but the 
question is can I delete it and not have anything break? I don't mind if 
my installation has no hazmat functionality because hazmat isn't 
important to me. My concern is that there is functionality that *is* 
important but its implementation relies on the hazmat data being there.

The same question applies to model year and equipment class data.

This is not a huge deal. The only part that I've noticed that "pollutes" 
the user interface is Advanced Search. I get options to parameterize 
searches on hazmat, model year, and equipment class, but these are 
meaningless to me. Oh, and if I want to add additional features to my 
products I have to learn to ignore these in the drop downs.

Cheers, Iain

The only way to really find out is to give it a try... If you don't  
have any products using these features, it should be okay though.
