The version to use is 251g. Do not use CVS nor latest 252c etc as the data dump is not up to date.

251g has its separate data dump and thus will allow proper AD setup.

During client setup of new client, enable the beta box. So that POS modules and workflow can also work, just in case we need them.

The source of 251g is with us, so we can use that to do the modification. Then a binary compiled version will not conflict the target system.

I understand that version 2.5.1g is the most stable at this point. Please keep in mind that I would eventually like to move off of Oracle as the database, on to either Firebird, PostgreSQL, or mySQL. While I understand this may not be feasible at this point, I would like to the team to keep this in mind as we do the development.

Thanks,
Rich

yes we will keep this in mind, as we will not create DB triggers and use the Compiere present convention of DB independence.

We may have future projects elsewhere that goes onto PostGres, and will pass on the knowledge once available.

On the point of DB independence by Rich above, and a further chat message recently given by Trifon, that future version may be having FIFO, i am investigating how to forsee that either with migration (a paid service, which again i may absorb as part of my other projects in similar ground), or jumping to the right version.

Good to hear. I know it may be risky, but if the features aren't available or aren't stable and are expected shotly, perhaps we can prototype the system with the latest stable version and then build the permanent system with the desired version. I know we are still shooting for a go live date of July 1, so it is just a thought.

I just got a message from ComPiere Inc (as a former partner) that Compiere version 252c is now offcially released and here is the gist of the news:

The batch (expense) invoice entry sounds interesting. What exactly does it do? Would it possibly help with our accounts payable?

-Rich

red1 · Posted: Tue May 03, 2005 6:03 pm Post subject:

Yes, I believe so on this Invoice Batching. In my mind I wonder whether its any different from the usual Import Invoice already present prior.

About 252c, i examined the codes and have located FIFO LIFO to be commented to a class - AccountSchema.LIFO/FIFO_Costing that does not exist yet! Sad

Already told Trifon that i traced from ProductPO.java. Seems that we have to build or wait for the 252c promise.

On this 251g Source i m working on, we will upload as a separate tree in the University project for Trifon.

red1 · Posted: Mon May 23, 2005 8:55 pm Post subject:

I have uploaded my latest source here http://red1.org/compiere/251-g.rar which to this date has the latest CommissionCalc.java, MSlidingTable, MSlidingRule.

Further code changes will be released in separate files in HutzlerCompiereUSA/sources folder.

The ExpDat.dmp that has the latest AD changes is also here http://red1.org/barn/HutzlerCompiereUSA/sources/ExpDat.jar

We will consider the latest versions 252d or e for Version jump.

Main issue is to obtain the respective data dump which is now at 252b only.

0) New version feature analysis to ascertain their usefulness and impact.

1) Listing of all source changes to be repeated. Pasting if context doesnt change in new version.

2) Druid application of XML2ADs and AlterTables, and Application of ILFs; again if no context change.

3) Listing of metadata changes not capable via (2)

4) Need to create PrintFormat exporter and importer to facilitate PFs

5) Change Impact Analysis to ascertain cost of time and effort.

Rich should give a comfortable time period for such effort and we may discuss to absorb the effort as we like to do take the challenge. I believe Trifon agrees.

Gud news!...

Compiling 252d source to see if data is synch (fetched from sourceforge/file/Compiere2 252d)

Winenv.js - OK
e:\Compiere2\RUN_setup - OK
e:\Compiere2\utils\ImportCompiere - OK
check version compatibility launch Date 05/05/05 252d - OK

Went into several windows comfortably. I checked version 252c and its data was March.

Thus we can use 252d as download straight from sf.net, files section binary zip. I will post the 252d source that i have secured some week ago.

I will redo the Initial Setup steps and post a ExpDat jar soonest tonight. Will update progress over at the Initial Client Setup thread.

I already told Trifon via YM that i checked out via head.

Now i m migrating the codes too to Compiere 252. Already corrected the log prompts and added ',null' to XML2AD, GenericPO and XML2ADHandler. Also corrected log stmts for our brought forward sources from 251g:
>ImportBPartner
>ImportProduct
>ImportImpFormat_Row
>ImportImpFormat
>ImportShipper

Now to setup the ILF programs into this new instance so that we can regenerate:

When u take the 252d source, u have to add all the jars in the internal jboss folder into the Properties>Library>Java Build Path to avoid the Logger error during debugging.

The compiled from source anyway has been tested ok a few times by me.

I m now building the 2 Report&Process and 2 menu for ILF as Trifon stated before.

Then i will try to run the XML2AD, ILFs and AlterTable. Then send an ExpDat.jar.

red1 · Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 9:39 pm Post subject:

XML2AD done for all the new tables and ILF. Seems the source code can hold in this new version.

AlterTable and GenerateModel also done.

But XML2AD Menu View doesnt show up when launch Compiere. I TOAD in and see the Menus and Windows and Tabs do exist.
Hope Trifon can give a clue why.

Will try to upload the zipped source and ExpDat.jar into sources/red1 tonite when i get home from the cafe here.

http://red1.org/barn/HutzlerCompiereUSA/sources/red1/ExpDat_28.jar

Later check for http://red1.org/barn/HutzlerCompiereUSA/sources/red1/C-252d.zip .

Finally brought it out by going into Hutzler Admin and enable via ROLE, creating new windows that HutzlerAdmin can access, i.e. the new windows.
Those 3 windows show up but some fields get jumbled up, those that follow a sameline - not important. Will set the ImportLoaderRow process.

Will do as much before commiting another ExpDat.jar...

> Get all the ILFs in
> Ensure ImportBPartner,Product javas, recompile
... then rich can redo the imports.

Red1 & Trifon-
So I was looking at new features added in the latest Compiere version and there was one that I thought is very necessary: Credit Card Encryption. How hard would it be to add this functionality to our current version. I know both of you mentioned that you were looking for such a challenge when it came around and I thought this would be a necessary functionality seeing how insecure compiere can be. The ops manager said he would not be comfortable processing credit cards thru the system without some security and this would not be good for the other users.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Rich

Cant really say until we checkout those codes and give it some study first. Hopefully they are very modular and no change to the present framework.
