Jacques,
I think they are two different tools. By making two Issues it will be easy
to get them implementated and accepted in steps.
I am ok with murging them also.

[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-635) Business Setup Wizard for Ofbiz.

BJ Freeman commented on OFBIZ-635:
----------------------------------
Been mulling setup in general over and have come up with some basics to build on
First is two enitiies that store configuration information.
The first is a GroupEntity that specifies with in a group the componet to work on and the sequence.
The parentID ChildID would allow chaing groups together.
Also if this group is visible to the user. This is so the automated setup are not displayed.
A group would be like Business Setup, GLSetup, System Setup
under the Business Setup group would be chained to
Store Setup group which is chained to ProductStore group.
the above table links to the configuration entity.
This has
Componet
Entity
EntiyField
EntityValue
Sequnce order for execution
UseService for atutomation
SetupURI to the controller
Completed
using the group example above
the ProductStore group
would be linked to the configuration entity for
componet= content
Entity = website
Field would be WebsiteID
Sequence =1
useservice=null
setservice=null <!--this is use allow the user to select options based on other entities like say Geo code. the service may call many widget forms.-->
setupURI = EditWebSite
This would build the configuration web page with a link that opens a secondary window to the /content/control/EditWebSite
once the window is completed it is closed
the user then marks the task completed
this is so if the user if interupted they know where they left off.
The tricky part is to have a service go thru similar to the artifact and find all these and add them to these entities.
for now there will have to be data that builds this table for each componet.
I have this working on my systems. it does not do everthing yet.

BJ Freeman commented on OFBIZ-635:
----------------------------------
the current application/commonext ofbiz setup uses the standard controller.xml
for migration and setup it would be nice to use the a db based controller setup. this would allow an componet to load its setup into the db without programming.
I also think that this should be the basic code should be in the framework/common
and the component specific should be in each components seed data to include the screens each component would have a ECA and SECA for setup as needed.
each component would have a webapp/setup
any thoughts.
note: the migration would also use this setup controller.

Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-635:
-----------------------------------
A concept I've had in my mind that is kind of along these lines is a "System Configuration" web page that admins can use to configure OFBiz. That way, instead of having to sift through properties files, XML files and the like, a web page would display the settings that can be applied to those files. When the admin clicks Submit, the updated settings are written to the appropriate files, then the admin is advised to restart OFBiz to have them take effect.
This is probably way more involved than what you intended. But at the same time, I think it would go a long way to making it easier for newcomers to install and configure OFBiz.

if that is the case this should be closed or used to document the new setup.

----------------------------------
Davids MultiTentant uses the database to define the settings for the DB access.
I was thinking of doing something similar for entityengine.xml so it becomes seed data.
everyone starts off using derby for demo and loading the entityengine.xml into it own database.
then the setup config can access this to set the datasources and delegators.
the setup can test to validate the new db setup and then initialize the tables and seed data.
All without restarting ofbiz.
part of the setup would transfer the setup to the new database with the steps already done.
the setup program will then continue to add the custom data that the user needs to run ofbiz for his company.
so a developers focus would to be to create setup packages for different businesses.
these could be charged for.

------------------------------------
An Idea,
If necessary re-org the Business setup guide into hierarchical content and then build a Ofbiz content data file. By doing this we can load this document into Ofbiz and then use it for providing context sensitive Help during step of Set up Wizard.
