[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-5259) entity import dir causes problems
because of ecas
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5259?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13703918#comment-13703918 ]
Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5259:
-------------------------------------
I would say this is not a bug, as the import functionality works.
Upgrading of a software system is a project in itself. It must be planned, orchestrated to ensure a smooth transition with as little disruptions as possible. Good documentation regarding upgrading helps in that respect.
But if good documentation doesn't exist, a statement in the import screen - to ensure that the setting in entityengine.xml must be set to 'false' - could be the next best thing. However, such a statement might also create confusion when importing data that is not related to an upgrade process.

> Key: OFBIZ-5259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5259
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 12.04
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Skip Dever
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you export all from an existing Ofbiz installation, then import them, lots of bad things happen. First, when you import OrderPaymentPreference, an eca runs that creates multiple OrderStatus records that did not exist in the export. Not too bad except that this eca gets millions of OrderStatusIds from the getNextSeqId service which writes updates to SequenceValueItem.
> So, any any eca that runs as a result of the import dir will have the SequenceValueItem record overwritten when SequenceValueItem is imported.
> In my view, there should be a bold warning and an option to disable ecas when doing this import.
> As was pointed out to me, you can set entity-eca-enabled="false" in entityengine.xml before starting ofbiz to do the import and that is why I marked this as minor.
