[PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Hi All,
Currently our functions inject following internal fields into the model of
each entity:
- createdStamp
- createdTxStamp
- lastUpdatedStamp
- lastUpdatedTxStamp
All of the fields above are of the field type definition 'date-time',
giving for java: java.sql.Timestamp, and for sql: TIMESTAMP. This means
that the createdTxStamp is the same as createdStamp and lastUpdatedTxStamp
is the same as lastUpdatedStamp.
Should we get rid of the redundant fields?
Also, a lot of entity definitions in the various models have the
'createdByUserLogin' and 'lastModifiedByUserLogin' added.
Should we have these fields added to the internal fields set so that these
are always injected into the model of each entity, and always filled?
Best regards,
Pierre Smits

This is handled by OFBIZ-10959, so we can close this convo and use rather "[PROPOSAL] Enable entity timestamp fields" at
https://markmail.org/message/x7paa3ulljns6awh if ever needed (OK there and in Jira for me)

Thanks Deepak, Suraj,
Yes, that's why I changed the title for this "sub-thread".
Now the question is to agree about having those fields always visible while searching or it they should show only based on a properties.
Are those of interest also in a production environment?
Maybe they are not present simply because their presence depends on no-auto-stamp="false". I see no other reasons, notably not a performance reason.
In order to avoid confusion we should create a new thread to discuss those 2 points:
1. Adding them to search fields
2. Having them always visible, not only in dev environment
And if OK create a Jira :)

Re: auto-stamp fields in "entity-engine in webtools". was [[Re:
[PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection]]
Posted by Deepak Dixit <de...@hotwax.co>.
I think here we are mixing two different thread.
>>>auto-stamp fields in "entity-engine in webtools"
As I understand in this thread we are talking about only view part of find
generic entity page.
Here we are not talking about adding or removing fields in the entity. If
an entity has stamp filed it should display on webtools find generic page,
as it helps while debugging issues.
Please correct me if I misunderstood anything.

auto-stamp fields in "entity-engine in webtools". was [[Re:

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
Hi Pritam, All,
To clarify, in case there is a confusion here. If I'm not wrong Suraj suggested to add the auto-stamp fields in "entity-engine in webtools".
Like for instance at https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/FindGeneric?entityName=OrderHeader
He did not speak about the 'createdByUserLogin' and 'lastModifiedByUserLogin' fields, please Suraj confirm.
Then I agreed but suggested that it was not a default but implemented with a properties to be used during development mostly
Thanks

A big post for saying that the feature i just wanted to recall about do

I used it in the past for a critical audit, and was happy with it.

Fwiw more often than not I can identify who made a specific change by
searching the logs, assuming they're retained for long enough. Most http
requests log the session ID (when the view is rendered) which can then be
matched to a user via the Visit table.
I'm not sure if that has changed in recent versions but I've used it many
times over the years.

Scott

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@apache.org>.
Gill, all,
The entity_audit_log feature also sprung into my mind shortly after I
posted my comment.
I wonder how many of our adopters are aware of this feature and the penalty
aspect in production setups. And of how many do we in this project know
that these adopters are aware?
Such info rarely trickles back into our mailing lists.
Even in this community there hasn't been much traffic regarding that
subject over the years. Markmail (see [1]) revealed that they have only
just over a 100 postings registered.
And isn't so, that when an adopter suspects foul play this often already
has happened. Enabling the entity_audit_log feature after suspicion of foul
play is like closing the barn after the horse has beens stolen.
But lets address the 'what is required to have the entity_audit_log-feature
operational' for a moment.
I did a google search on the subject and I found nothing (substantial)
about this feature that explains how it functions and what is required to
have it operational.
From what I got from memory recollection and recent searches, that this
only works for fields that have the 'enable-audit-log' attribute set to
"true" in the entity-models. I found only 10 fields in the various
applications component have such an attribute setting (only 2 entities in
order-entity.model: OrderItem and ReturnItem . Non of the other fields in
the entity models have have the 'enable-audit-log' set to 'false'.
And you are correct, this feature comes with a processing penalty, which
increases with the number of fields marked for auditing. That is the first
-1 about having to do analysis on who created and changed what, where and
when.
The second -1 about the 'enable_audit_log'-feature is that, even when an
adopter is having the 'audit' and the entity_audit_log feature on his mind
and wants it operational for more business critical fields in then his
implementation project will increase as all the entities need to be
enhanced regarding those fields. Plus in this feature for audit trails and
fraud detection it requires fields that capture the UserLogin values
(createdBy and lastModifiedBy). In current code base even less entity have
a field that captures the userLogin (12, through the changeByUserLoginId
field).
The third -1 is that this feature doesn't appear have a property setting to
enable or disable the feature in underlying services. That means it is
always on, and dependent on the entity-model changes. When the adopter
suspects foul play he can't simply change a property setting to temporarily
take the performance penalty to confirm or debunk his suspicion. Nor does
he have functionalities available to enable/disable specific fields
dynamically through the UI (of e.g. web tools).
And last but not least: he fourth -1 regarding the
'enable_audit_log'-feature is that it doesn't appear to be working as
expected. I did a cursory test with an order some moments ago in ofbiz (see
[1]) and it does not capture the old values on the line items. But I may be
misunderstanding the screen/process there.
All in all, there are a lot of technical +1s in favour of having the
createdByUserlogin and lastModifiedByUserLogin added through the internal
fields injection process. The implementation in the code base by the
community can be achieved fairly fast. The impact on migration (for
existing adopters planning to upgrade) is rather small, as it only extends
the model with 2 fields (added at the end) and easily explained. And it
offers additional business-case benefits for those considering to use the
product for their mission critical business processes.

Hello Pierre,
If you have specific need of Auditing, after suspition of malicious
users, you can enable entity_audit_log feature on the desired table.
At a cost of performance loss.
I do not understand why impersonation feature appears here, since it is
a administrator specific feature. If an admin is malicious, having those
fields cannot prevent him to destroy/modify/create or do whatever with
the data.
Like you can guess, my opinion, is not to put those fields onto all
entity in OFBiz.
I agree that security is important, and OFBiz admin must grant the good
permission to the trusted users.
If you find out that specific entity miss those fields, it can be added
case by case. But i do not feel ok into a global feature.
Regards
Gil

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Posted by Pierre Smits <pi...@apache.org>.
The two fields are extremely useful (even indispensable) regarding auditing
and data analysis. Consider security assessments and fraud
detection/prevention.
In trunk, only 48 entities have those fields in following breakdown:
Component Model Entities Having UserLogin fields %
datamodel accounting 160 3 1,88%
datamodel content 64 7 10,94%
datamodel humanres 41 1 2,44%
datamodel manufacturing 7 0,00%
datamodel marketing 32 8 25,00%
datamodel order 106 10 9,43%
datamodel party 81 2 2,47%
datamodel product 168 11 6,55%
datamodel facility 38 4 10,53%
datamodel workeffort 40 1 2,50%
In apps 737 47 6,38%
in framework 98 1 1,02%
Total 835 48 5,75%
That means that for the majority of the entities (more than 90%) our
adopters (using the data models OOTB) have no way of telling who created a
record and who modified it last. And we are talking about entities
regarding invoices, payments, gl transaction entries, orders, quotes,
product definitions, inventory quantities and locations, receipts,
deliveries etc., all which contain business critical data.
But also, with the recently feature regarding impersonation added to our
code base which allow other users to change records through OFBiz having
those two fields on each entity becomes business critical.
IMO the OFBiz should have these two fields established on each entity OOTB.
Because, if we don't have that, our potential adopters while assessing our
product may walk away, and our existing adopter - even after an upgrade to
a more recent or future release without this - will have an extremely hard
time analysing who created and changed records (the what, where and when
questions) when confronted with nefarious (criminal) users.

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Posted by Nicolas Malin <ni...@nereide.fr>.
Hello,
When I worked on issue OFBIZ-5010, I have been imagine to use an other
parameter on entity definition like internal to generate these 4 fields
createdByUserLogin, lastModifiedByUserLogin, createdDate, lastModifiedDate.
example :
<entity name="Product" track="true" ...>
but more with idea to extend it
<extend-entity entity-name="Product" track="true" />
If we want to load it or change the current internal default value, I
suggest to improve entity group or entity package to received this
information. Like this we can easily define the value for a set of
entity instead define it one by one.

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Posted by Pritam Kute <pr...@hotwaxsystems.com>.
IMO, adding 'createdByUserLogin' and 'lastModifiedByUserLogin' fields to
every entity is not that useful. Like for example, if we consider the
"Visit" entity, I am not able to find any advantage of having these fields
in this entity. But, it should be added to some crucial entities like
OrderHeader, OrderItem, ProductPrice(which is already there) to track the
things like who dod the last price updates or order updates.

This could be configurable indeed (less need in production for instance so default would be false)

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection

IMO, this is configurable as Jacques pointed, so need to take any action.
In fact, I would suggest showing these fields while searching for any data
from entity-engine in webtools, because they are really helpful while
working in a dev environment for debugging.
Just my two cents !!!

A bit out of subject, just to complete the discussion because nobody spoke about.
The entities are defined with no-auto-stamp="false" by default so it's possible to change this default.
Of course 'createdByUserLogin' and 'lastModifiedByUserLogin' fields are not concerned, it was just to complete

I have not time to elaborate in-depth right now, but just a quick food
for thought:
Having these fields in every entity *by default* allows detailed
tracking of users which might be unwanted. I know that this is a
sensible topic in companies and affects privacy protection.
I am not sure how the selection of entities with these fields was done,
maybe others can add insights.

Thanks Michael,
So we should keep those *TxStamp fields.
But what about the second suggestion about having the 'createdByUserLogin'
and 'lastModifiedByUserLogin' fields added to the internal fields set?

These fields are not the same, they can differ. The TX fields mark the
transaction timestamp while the non TX fields mark the "real" update
time. You can see it when you watch closely in the database. All changes
made within an transaction have the same tx timestamp.

Re: [PROPOSAL] DataModel - Improve Internal Fields injection
Posted by Rishi Solanki <ri...@gmail.com>.
Dear Pierre,
I'm not aware of history of this duplicate entries. I agree with you on
removing duplicate fields. Also agree with adding created user and updated
user fields as default.
Few points for open discussion for community;
- There are many entities already have user fields, so do we need to remove
them. Point to discuss. IMO we can live with both.
- There are certain entries like dimension, search etc which does not
require user information.
- From community if someone have information on Tx fields then we can
rethink of not removing.
Lastly, this thread should take time to conclude after all inputs.
Thanks for interesting proposal!
