Talk:Mfg Libero migration project
Hi Wight (Tim) I m ready to assist in the 2pack understanding. You should not create the minutes page but use this discussion talk page for those points there instead (u can move those here, so that it is intuitional to find stuff. And need not create link.
About your background i wana ask, have u done Compiere before? Anyway i m happy u are here. Welcome and as i said i m happy to help. Teaching is my forte.

I propose Kompiere libero migration project, as this Kompiere libero is the official name in Sourceforge.--Khalid HASSANI 18:04, 22 November 2006 (EST)
Notes on project
Oracle seed dump for libero according to Carlos Ruiz: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/adempiere/tags/release-2.5.3b-initial/data/seed/Compiere.jar
Progress on 12/19/2006
I installed oracle 10.1 on centos 4.3. I compiled kompiere libero in the contributions directory of the adempiere subversion. I then was also able to execute ./install/Compiere2/RUN_setup.sh. It failed on the database saying it could not login with compiere/compiere and that the database had not been imported. I then tried to run the RUN_ImportCompiere.sh script and that failed. I beleive it is failing because the myEnvironment.sh is not set right. the myEnvironment.sh is set by RUN_setup.sh so I feel like the chicken before the egg thing is occuring. I did unzip Compiere.jar in the data see directory of the kompiere libero data directory so I am close to importing/creating the oracle database.

I talked with Karsten a great deal and he helped me to figure out some problems I was having with installing/build libero. What is interesting to understand is that Karsten said I only had to run 2 scripts:
- 310 to 311 migration script
- 311 to 312 migration script
Running these scripts would import the libero database changes into an adempiere 312 oracle install. Karsten also told me that the migration scripts may have some problems as sqlplus can't handle very large lines for some reason. I finally got the kompiere libero server up. When I tried to login I got an error. Victor thinks I have the wrong version of Kompiere libero or Oracle. I have posted in the developer forum about this at:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1635853&forum_id=610548
- Not exactly - running these scripts will upgrade the libero database to an adempiere 312 preserving :all existing libero customizations. After this make a dump of the migrated database and this will be :and Adempiere+libero seed dmp. And not the scripts have the problems - it's a sqlplus problem ;)
- Next step would be to adjust the scripts for postgreSQL, therefore you have to change the datatypes :from oracle to postgresql - there was a document in the wiki about that but I think it got lost in :the backup trouble -- Karsten Thiemann 11:00, 21 December 2006 (GMT+1)
I don't understand what I could have done wrong. Victor says he will handle the migration and it will be done by 12/27/2006.
I finally got in! I added connectionprofile to ad_user and ad_role and got in! Victor said that those fields are from 253d. Victor also said that I don't need to run RUN_ImportCompiere.sh just RUN_DBRestore.sh on the dump he gave me. He said he will verify his dump tomorrow to see if it is correct.
Progress on 1/5/2007
I made some huge progress on Friday. I was talking with Victor about how I could help him. He sent me an oracle database dump for Oracle 10.2 ( ExpDat.mfgupdate.dmp ). I setup oracle 10.1 previously so I just used that. Victor wanted me to assist him with renaming tables/fields for the specific tables dealing with manufacturing and payroll from libero so they could be more easily migrated to Adempiere. He posted in the adempiere developers forum about this at:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1644403&forum_id=610548
To accomplish this he gave me two choices. I could use druid database manager tool or another way I can't remember (think it was modify the ddl raw in text form). I told him I would do it the way he preferred. He preferred the druid way. I then imported the specific tables with beginning mpc_ strings and converted them to pp_. I then saved my druid project and sent it to Victor. He did not like the format and asked me to use the format that Trifon used for his druid project at:
I ran out of time and told Victor I would continue on Monday.
Oracle Notes
1. . oraenv 2. lsnrctl stop 3. lsnrctl start 4. sqlplus /nolog 5. conn / as sysdba 6. shutdown 7. startup
To import the dump I used the command:
imp userid=system/compiere file=ExpDat.mfgupdate.dmp full=yes
The import did say it had some problems and I was told that the import would most likely fail if I was trying to import a dump from 10.2 into 10.1. All in all though it appeared to work.
Druid Notes
http://sourceforge.net/projects/druid/
1. java -jar druid-3.8-install.jar 2. java -jar druid.jar 3. Install oracle jdbc driver: ojdbc14.jar from within disk druid
Victor also asked to generate sql.
When importing some of the tables, some of the fields were undefined. I do not know why this occurred. I assume it could be because of the import malfunction(s) from 10.2 to 10.1.
Progress on 1/9/2007
Today was probably one of the best days I have had on this project. One of the core features of MRP is the ability to do the following:
* Automatic creation of recommended Purchase Orders (Requisition Orders according to Victor) and Manufacturing Orders based on demand. * The ability to then approved the recommended Purchase and Manufacturing Orders * The ability to schedule the Manufacturing Orders that have assigned materials on the appropriate resource * The ability to cancel demand and have the appropriate Manufacturing and Purchase orders be deleted
I will now explain how to do this in the Manufacturing module through a series of questions and answers.
What is the procedure to cause the Manufacturing module to generate purchase and manufacturing orders based on demand?
Manufacturing->Production Planning->MRP->Regenerate Material Plan
What should be done after the Regenerate Material Plan has run?
Look at the notices and Planned Order Approval Areas
What is in the notices area and why is it important?
The notices area will contain messages regarding how to deal with problems that regenerate material plan finds.
How does the regenerate material plan work at a high level?
1. Delets all Manufacturing and Purchase Orders that are in a draft status 2. It looks at the demand (Sales Orders, Forcasting, Minimum Levels of Stock) to see the needs of Inventory and Manufacutring orders to generate the appropriate products to fill the demand. 3. It then looks at the Route of a particular product to see what steps, materials, and resources are needed to create the product. 4. To generate the Purchase Orders it looks at the BOM to see if there are currently enough raw materials to generate the product. If not it generates a recommendation for a purchase order. 5. The steps in the route contain resources and durations which are then turned into recommended manufacturing orders. 6. As the regenerate material plan is running it will send notices of things it finds of interest for the user to know/do.
How does the regenerate material plan handle the use case of cancelled demand?
It will create a notice telling the user to delete Manufacturing/Purchasing Orders as they are no longer needed. (I call this orphaned requests, as the reason they work created in the first place has been taken away).
What states can a Manufacturing Order have?
1. Draft (Usually a recommendation created by the regenerate material plan will create manufacturing orders with a draft status) 2. Awaiting materials 3. In Process (This MO is active and the shop is made aware of it and that it should be scheduled/handled) 4. Closed (Basically complete)
What is the process to schedule Manufacturing Orders on resources?
Manufacturing->Production Planning->CRP->Capacity Plan Calculation
The user must then choose foward or backward scheduling.
What is the process to see the schedule generated?
Manufacturing->Manufacturing Rules->Management Resource Manufacturing->Manufacturing Resource
Find the resource you want to see the schedule for and then do:
View->Schedule Info
Is it possible to enter a Manufacturing Order manually?
Yes.
What is important to know about a BOM entry as it relates to generation of Manufacturing Orders when the regenerate material plan is run?
A BOM entry must have make to order set for a MO to be created. If it only has order then only a purchase order will be generated.
Progress on 4/3/2007
I have been talking to Victor and Carlos Ruiz and the decision has been made to get libero in as a 2pack module. The problem is that 2pack is missing some functionality. The functionality missing is:
1. Export and Import of workflows 2. Export and Import of dynamic validations
I have accomplished the goals of created a 2 pack package, exporting it, and then importing the 2pack package into another adempiere instance. I have also created a new window in adempiere following the new window tutorial on the adempiere wiki. I am now reading:
which docouments how to create a workflow which is my next goal. The nice thing about reading this document is it is giving me good information for creating the test criteria for my 2pack enhancements.
2Pack Enhancements Tests
| # | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Simple General Workflow Test | Create a general workflow with 2 states, export, and import via 2pack |
| 2 | Advanced General Workflow Test | Create a general workflow with 10 plus states, export, and import via 2pack |
| 3 | Simple Document Process Workflow Test | Create a document process workflow with 2 states, export, and import via 2pack |
| 4 | Advanced Document Process Workflow Test | Create a document process workflow with 10 plus states, export, and import via 2pack |
| 5 | Simple Document Value Workflow Test | Create a document value process workflow with 2 states, export, and import via 2pack |
| 6 | Advanced Document Value Workflow Test | Create a document value process workflow with 10 plus states, export, and import via 2pack |
