Upgrading from opentaps 1.0 to opentaps 1.4

Data Changes

• Run the service opentaps.setSupplementalDataForAllParties to populate primary contact data for all parties.
• Configuration of GL accounts for invoice writeoffs have been changed. Instead of using GlAccountTypeDefault, they are now configured with InvoiceAdjustmentGlAccount with the adjustment type "WRITEOFF"
• If you have custom UI labels, they may be loaded by adding them to LabelConfiguration.properties in opentaps-common/config/
  • If previously you were using UtilMessage.registerLabelMap() to load custom labels, you may now remove all calls to this function as it is no longer needed.
• Run the upgrade SQL script in hot-deploy/opentaps-common/scripts/sql for the following:
  • ProductAverageCost has been re-factored to use a single productAverageCostId as its primary key. The script will alter the table and automatically fill in its values and update SequenceValueItem so that opentaps will generate correct future keys.
• Add the following to your custom component's build.xml:

  <fileset dir="${ofbiz.dir}/hot-deploy/opentaps-common/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
  <fileset dir="${ofbiz.dir}/hot-deploy/opentaps-common/lib/hibernate" includes="*.jar"/>

• Set SupplierProduct.supplierPrefOrderId to 10_MAIN_SUPPL where it is null.

Coding Changes

Changes in the ofbiz framework would require the following changes to your code:

URL Parameter Security

You can no longer pass parameters to a service request directly in the URL. These requests must be part of a POST form. To make buttons work as before, you need to change them to forms and then activate them with javascript. For example, in earlier versions, you could have a button to delete a lead like this:

 <#assign update_options = update_options + "<a class='subMenuButtonDangerous' 
          href='deleteLead?leadPartyId=" + partySummary.partyId + "'>" + uiLabelMap.CommonDelete + "</a>"  />

In opentaps 1.4, you must do it this way:

  <form name="deleteLeadForm" method="post" action="<@ofbizUrl>deleteLead</@ofbizUrl>"/>
     <@inputHidden name="leadPartyId" value="${partySummary.partyId}"/>
  </form>
  <#assign update_options = update_options + "<a class='subMenuButtonDangerous' 
           href='javascript:document.deleteLeadForm.submit()'>" + uiLabelMap.CommonDelete + "</a>"  />

Controller redirects

Redirects have been changed, now request-redirect will only copy the parameters that were in the URL string by default. To forward posted or service output parameter, use the redirect-parameter elements (one per parameter).

  <response name="success" type="request-redirect" value="viewAccount">
      <redirect-parameter name="partyId"/>
  </response>

Also request-redirect-filter-param is now considered deprecated.
