[[quick-start]] // tag::quickstart[] == Quick start

To quickly install and fire-up OFBiz, please follow the below instructions from the command line at the OFBiz top level directory (folder).

[[download-the-gradle-wrapper]] === Download the Gradle wrapper:

MS Windows: init-gradle-wrapper

Unix-like OS: ./gradle/init-gradle-wrapper.sh

[[prepare-ofbiz]] === Prepare OFBiz:

==== Clean system and load the complete OFBiz data

Note: Depending on your Internet connection speed it might take a long time for this step to complete if you are using OFBiz for the first time as it needs to download all dependencies. So please be patient!

MS Windows: gradlew cleanAll loadAll

Unix-like OS: ./gradlew cleanAll loadAll

[[start-ofbiz]] === Start OFBiz:

MS Windows: gradlew ofbiz

Unix-like OS: ./gradlew ofbiz

Note: Ignore the % progress indicator because this task does not end as long as OFBiz is running.

[[visit-ofbiz-through-your-browser]] === Visit OFBiz through your browser:

https://localhost:8443/ordermgr[Order Back Office]

https://localhost:8443/accounting[Accounting Back Office]

https://localhost:8443/webtools[Administrator interface]

You can log in with the user admin and password ofbiz.

// end::quickstart[]

[NOTE] In case of problems visit our link:#further-reading[Further reading section].

[[security]] == Security

If you find a security issue, please report it to: security @ ofbiz.apache.org. Once proper mitigations to the security issues are complete the OFBiz team will disclose this information to the public mailing list.

You can find more information about security in OFBiz at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Keeping+OFBiz+secure[Keeping OFBiz secure]

[CAUTION] In production never use the credentials contained in demo data. Not only the admin credentials, but all of them.

[[build-system-syntax]] == Build system syntax

All build tasks are executed using the Gradle build system which is embedded in OFBiz. To execute build tasks go to OFBiz top-level directory (folder) and execute tasks from there.

[[operating-system-syntax]] === Operating System Syntax

The syntax for tasks differ slightly between windows and Unix-like systems

• Windows: gradlew <tasks-in-here>
• Unix-like: ./gradlew <tasks-in-here>

For the rest of this document, we will use the windows syntax, if you are on a Unix-like system, you need to add the ./ to gradlew

[[types-of-tasks-in-gradle]] === Types of tasks in Gradle

There are two types of tasks designed for OFBiz in Gradle:

• Standard tasks: To execute general standard Gradle tasks
• OFBiz server tasks: To execute OFBiz startup commands. These tasks start with one of the following words:
• ofbiz : standard server commands
• ofbizBackground ; server commands running in a background forked process

Tips:

• OFBiz server commands require "quoting" the commands. For example: gradlew "ofbiz --help"
• Shortcuts to task names can be used by writing the first letter of every word in a task name. However, you cannot use the shortcut form for OFBiz server tasks. Example: gradlew loadAdminUserLogin -PuserLoginId=myadmin = gradlew lAUL -PuserLoginId=myadmin
• Dependent tasks can be skipped with the -x switch. Example: gradlew build -x test does not run the tests within the build.

[[example-standard-tasks]] ==== Example standard tasks

gradlew build

gradlew cleanAll loadAll testIntegration

[[example-ofbiz-server-tasks]] ==== Example OFBiz server tasks

If you do not specify jvmArgs, a default of -Xms128M -Xmx1024M is set.

[[data-loading-tasks]] === Data loading tasks

OFBiz contains the following data reader types:

• 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
• ext: External General Data (custom)
• ext-test: External Test Data (custom)
• ext-demo: External Demo Data (custom)
• tenant: Data to load into the master tenants database "ofbiztenant". This data is required to identify where a tenant's database is located. For more information you can review the relevant https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Multitenancy+support[tenant documentation]

Available options for the --load-data server command are the following:

• readers=[name]: only load data from certain readers separated by comma. e.g. seed,seed-initial,ext
• file=[path]: load a single file from location or several files separated by commas. e.g. /my/file/1,/my/file/2
• dir=[path]: load all data files found in directory
• component=[name]: only load data from a specific component. e.g. base
• delegator=[name]: use the defined delegator. Default is "default". If the value passed is "all-tenants" then OFBiz will load the data for all defined tenants in the system.
• group=[name]: override the entity group (org.apache.ofbiz). e.g. com.example.something
• timeout=[millis]: timeout in milliseconds
• create-pks: create primary keys
• drop-pks: drop primary keys
• create-constraints: create indexes and foreign keys after loading
• drop-constraints: drop indexes and foreign keys before loading
• create-fks: create dummy (placeholder) foreign keys
• maintain-txs: maintain timestamps in data file
• try-inserts: use mostly inserts
• repair-columns: repair column sizes (default is true w/ drop-constraints)
• continue-on-failure: By default OFBiz will fail and stop if it is unable to load any of the files it is attempting to load. By passing this property OFBiz will ignore failures and continue loading all files

[[load-specific-ofbiz-data]] ==== Load specific OFBiz data

you can choose which data readers to pass in the following syntax:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=<readers-here-comma-separated>"

Example:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed,seed-initial,ext,ext-demo"

Beware that copying this command in Microsoft Word will automatically transform the double dash in en dashes (Unicode 0x2013: –) Other cases not related to Word were also reported.So when this command does not work check that you are using dash!

[[load-all-ofbiz-data]] ==== Load all OFBiz data

Loads all data sets; meant for initial loading of generic OFBiz data. Can be applied for development, testing, demonstration, etc. purposes. Be aware that executing this task can result in your data being overwritten in your database of choice.

gradlew loadAll OR gradlew "ofbiz --load-data"

[CAUTION] Use with caution in production environments.

[[load-seed-data]] ==== Load seed data

Load ONLY the seed data (not seed-initial, demo, ext* or anything else); meant for use after an update of the code to reload the seed data as it is generally maintained along with the code and needs to be in sync for operation

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed"

[[load-ext-data]] ==== load ext data

Load seed, seed-initial and ext data; meant for manual/generic testing, development, or going into production with a derived system based on stock OFBiz where the ext data basically replaces the demo data

gradlew -PenableOwasp dependencyCheckAnalyze

[[setup-eclipse-project-for-ofbiz]] ==== Setup eclipse project for OFBiz

Setting up OFBiz on eclipse is done by simply running the below command and then importing the project to eclipse. This command will generate the necessary .classpath and .project files for eclipse and it will also make the source code for external libraries available in eclipse (i.e. you can view source through Ctrl + Click)

The first time you run this command it will take a long time to execute because it will download source packages available for project dependencies.

gradlew eclipse

[[package-and-distribute-ofbiz]] ==== Package and distribute OFBiz

In order to deploy OFBiz on a target system and in particular in a production environment without requiring the target system to download Gradle and OFBiz dependencies from the internet, it is possible to generate an archive bundling OFBiz with all the Jars it depends on as a tar archive

gradlew distTar

or as a zip archive.

gradlew distZip

Those archives are available in the build/distributions directory. To run OFBiz from those archive you must first unarchive them with tar xf or unzip and then from that directory you can run either bin/ofbiz shell script or bin/ofbiz.bat batch script with the appropriate ofbiz options.

[[ofbiz-plugin-system]] == OFBiz plugin system

OFBiz provides an extension mechanism through plugins. Plugins are standard OFBiz components that reside in the plugins directory. Plugins can be added manually or fetched from a maven repository. The standard tasks for managing plugins are listed below.

Note: OFBiz plugin versions follow http://semver.org/[Semantic Versioning 2.0.0]

[[pull-download-and-install-a-plugin-automatically]] === Pull (download and install) a plugin automatically

Download a plugin with all its dependencies (plugins) and install them one-by-one starting with the dependencies and ending with the plugin itself.

gradlew pullPlugin -PdependencyId="org.apache.ofbiz.plugin:myplugin:0.1.0"

If the plugin resides in a custom maven repository (not jcenter or localhost) then you can use specify the repository using below command:

gradlew pullPlugin -PrepoUrl="http://www.example.com/custom-maven" -PdependencyId="org.apache.ofbiz.plugin:myplugin:0.1.0"

If you need username and password to access the custom repository:

gradlew pullPlugin -PrepoUrl="http://www.example.com/custom-maven" -PrepoUser=myuser -PrepoPassword=mypassword -PdependencyId="org.apache.ofbiz.plugin:myplugin:0.1.0"

[[pull-an-official-plugin-from-source-control]] === Pull an official plugin from source control

Download an official plugin from source control (currently subversion) and place it in the plugins directory. In addition, this task also executes the "install" task if it is defined for the plugin being downloaded.

This task is mostly useful when working on the trunk branch as it pulls in the latest version of a plugin.

gradlew pullPluginSource -PpluginId=ecommerce

Note: This plugin will have its own .svn directory placed inside the plugin directory.

[[pull-all-official-plugins-from-source-control]] === Pull all official plugins from source control

Download all officially supported plugins from source control (currently subversion) and place them inclusive of their ".svn" directory in /plugins. WARNING! This task deletes the /plugins directory and replaces it with the official plugins.

gradlew pullAllPluginsSource

This task makes it easy to download and develop officially supported plugins. It is mostly used by developers or individuals working on the trunk branch. We do not recommend using this task on releases of OFBiz, instead consider using the "pullPlugin" task to get the correct version of a plugin compatible with your release.

Note: All the plugins will share a .svn directory placed in the plugins directory.

[[install-a-plugin]] === Install a plugin

If you have a plugin called mycustomplugin and want to install it in OFBiz follow the below instructions:

• Extract the plugin if it is compressed
• Place the extracted directory into /plugins
• Run the below command

gradlew installPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

The above commands executes the task "install" in the plugin's build.gradle file if it exists

[[uninstall-a-plugin]] === Uninstall a plugin

If you have an existing plugin called mycustomplugin and you wish to uninstall run the below command

gradlew uninstallPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

The above command executes the task "uninstall" in the plugin's build.gradle file if it exists

[[remove-a-plugin]] === Remove a plugin

Calls uninstallPlugin on an existing plugin and then delete it from the file-system

gradlew removePlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

[[create-a-new-plugin]] === Create a new plugin

Create a new plugin. The following project parameters are passed:

• pluginId: mandatory
• pluginResourceName: optional, default is the Capitalized value of pluginId
• webappName: optional, default is the value of pluginId
• basePermission: optional, default is the UPPERCASE value of pluginId

gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin -PpluginResourceName=MyPlugin -PwebappName=mypluginweb -PbasePermission=MYSECURITY

The above command creates a new plugin in /plugins/myplugin

[[push-a-plugin-to-a-repository]] === Push a plugin to a repository

This task publishes an OFBiz plugin into a maven package and then uploads it to a maven repository. Currently, pushing is limited to localhost maven repository (work in progress). To push a plugin the following parameters are passed:

• pluginId: mandatory
• groupId: optional, defaults to org.apache.ofbiz.plugin
• pluginVersion: optional, defaults to 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT
• pluginDescription: optional, defaults to "Publication of OFBiz plugin ${pluginId}"

gradlew pushPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

gradlew pushPlugin -PpluginId=mycompany -PpluginGroup=com.mycompany.ofbiz.plugin -PpluginVersion=1.2.3 -PpluginDescription="Introduce special functionality X"

[[repository-and-directory-structure]] === Repository and directory structure

OFBiz is split into two repositories:

• ofbiz-framework: Contains the core framework and main applications in the system like accounting, party, order, etc
• ofbiz-plugins: Renamed from "special-purpose" and contains optional components that are officially supported by the community

Furthermore, the hot-deploy directory is removed as the plugins directory works as a replacement for both "special-purpose" and "hot-deploy".

If you need to load the components in the plugins directory in a specific order place a component-load.xml file in the plugins directory listing the order.

To check out a plugin from source control use the pullPluginSource Gradle task. To check out all plugins from source control use the pullAllPluginsSource. Beware this deletes a previously existing plugins directory.

[[running-gradle-tasks-without-an-internet-connection]] === Running gradle tasks without an internet connection

OFBiz must run with an internet connection the first time it is prepared on the system because it needs to download all the required dependencies.

After preparing OFBiz the first time correctly, it is possible to run OFBiz without an internet connection by using the --offline command line switch which tells Gradle to fetch its dependencies from the cache.

If any dependencies are missing from the cache and you pass --offline switch then the build execution will fail.

[[setup-an-external-database-like-mysql-postgresql-etc]] === Setup an external database like MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc

To setup an external database instead of the default embedded Apache Derby, you will need to follow the following instructions:

1. Find the JDBC driver suitable for your database using one of the following options:

• Search for the JDBC driver in https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter[jcenter] and place it in build.gradle dependencies e.g. runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.36'

OR

• Download the JDBC driver jar and place it in $OFBIZ_HOME/lib or the lib sub-directory of any component

2. Modify the entityengine.xml file located in $OFBIZ_HOME/framework/entity/config to switch the default database to the one you selected. For more details you can read the relevant section in the https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide[technical setup guide]

[[setup-gradle-tab-completion-on-unix-like-systems]] === Setup gradle tab-completion on Unix-like systems:

To get tab completion (auto complete gradle commands by pressing tab) you can download the script from the below link and place it in the appropriate location for your system.

https://edub.me/gradle-completion-bash[Gradle tab completion]

For example, on debian based systems, you can use the following command:

sudo curl -L -s https://edub.me/gradle-completion-bash -o /etc/bash_completion.d/gradle-tab-completion.bash
