As some of you already know, we are planning to migrate our SCM from
Subversion to Mercurial. We would like to share with you the work we
have already done and ask you for your collaboration and feedback.
We have created a document
... [More]
in the wiki that explains what have we
done and what the future steps are. The first thing we would like to ask
you is to read that document and give us feedback.
In that document, there is a section that explains some of the
processes that will be in place when we use Mercurial. The second thing
we would like to ask you is to test these processes. Are they correct?
Are we missing something?
If you want to help us testing, send an email to staff.rm@openbravo.com.
We will provide you all information needed to start testing (including
credentials to access some test repositories). The processes described
in the document are a recommendation, but you can test whatever you
want. If you think of any other process or of a different way of doing
things, feel free to explore them and give us your feedback.
Thanks in advance.

When you are implementing an ERP system for the first time, you can be faced by a double learning curve. Not only do you have to learn the new software, but you have to become familiar with the theories and concepts of ERP that underpin it. ERP is
... [More]
a specialist area and it can feel like a whole new language.
That's why we've started compiling a glossary of terms on the wiki. The glossary covers specific Openbravo terms, but also both general ERP terms, and I'd like to request help from the community in taking it further.
It's a project that's easy to join in - it doesn't require a big time commitment and you can dip in and out of it at your leisure. If you are already an expert, you can help by defining some of the terms on the list. If you're a novice, you can help by adding any terms you don't understand to the list of candidates for inclusion.
The glossary stands on its own as a useful document, but as it grows we will be able to link to it from elsewhere in the wiki and also use it in online help. As a technical author it's also a useful reference for me as I work through the system documenting it.
To get involved, you just need to be a registered user on the Openbravo wiki. Contributions are very gratefully received. [Less]

During the years, Openbravo has run on top of different Oracle database versions: Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g, etc. and now Oracle 11g. While this is an additive change for the Community Edition and Openbravo Basic Network, which continue to support Oracle
... [More]
10g R2 and PostgreSQL (8.1.4 or 8.3.5) as well, Oracle 11g is now embedded in Openbravo SMB Network One for 2.40.
Of course, and I am not a database administrator neither a developer though, from my honest opinion many new interesting functionalities and bug fixing are included in this new release: database catching functionalities, virtual columns, etc. up to 482 new characteristics.
As always happens, many new features require us to change the way we usually do things, for example: Oracle 11g is case sensitive when
login. What does this mean? You could spend the whole morning trying to access to your database (even locking your database user) if you don’t realize Oracle 11g is now case sensitive…
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
When I went through, I learnt the below:
1-Oracle 11g is case sensitive
This means, you need to introduce your database user and password with the correct case. To make sure how your database is configured, using
SQL*Plus as database system user:
SQL> SHOW parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon;
If you want to disable/enable this function (it is enabled by default), using SQL*Plus as database system user:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE or TRUE;
This is a new parameter on this release, not an existing parameter’s new default value.
2- sqlcase can change your password when creating a new user
Furthermore, it is important to realize there is another parameter that can change your new database user’s password:
SQL> SHOW SQLCASE;
sqlcase MIXED
sqlcase accepts three different values: UPPER (changes password to uppercase), LOWER (to lower case) MIXED (keeps the password as it is).
Depending this parameter’s value, when creating a new database user, it changes the password’s case. And this can also confuse yourself and avoid to success the login.
3- Unlocking the database user
The third action I did, was unlocking the locked database user
Also as database system user:
SQL> ALTER USER username ACCOUNT LOCK or UNLOCK;
I hope it helps, and you don’t spend the time I spent with this little issue…
