Open For Business (OFBiz) is a suite of enterprise applications built on a common architecture using common data, logic, and process components. The loosely coupled nature of the applications makes these components easy to understand, extend and customize.
...
The applications and application components that come with the system provide you with a broad and flexible basis that can be used as-is with the best-practices-based designs or customized to your own special needs. The applications facilitate the management of everything from parties and products to accounting, customer service, and internal resource and asset management.

Setting up and Running OFBiz
Download Apache OFBiz Framework
If you haven't already checkout Apache OFBiz Framework on your machine, let's do it. Anyone can checkout or browse the source code in the OFBiz public Subversion (SVN) repository. If you don't have Subversion, to install it you can go here for instructions.
To checkout the source code, simply use the following command (if you are using a GUI client, configure it appropriately):
- ofbiz-framework branch release18.12: $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/branches/release18.12 ofbiz.18.12
Since the release18.12 was split into ofbiz-framework and ofbiz-plugins, the special-purpose and hot-deploy directories have disappeared.
New components must be put in a plugins directory which works as was the hot-deploy directory.
For OFBiz existing components, check them out using the Gradle tasks below.
To get all components use pullAllPluginsSource. Beware this deletes a previously existing plugins directory.
| Code Block |
|---|
For Linux/Mac: $ ./gradlew pullAllPluginsSource
For Windows: > gradlew pullAllPluginsSource |
For more details refer Apache OFBiz Source Repository page.
Running Apache OFBiz
- Using the command line, build and start OFBiz (with demo data), use command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
For Linux/Mac: $ ./gradlew cleanAll loadAll ofbiz
For Windows: > gradlew cleanAll loadAll ofbiz |
The above command will load demo data, (Sample Data to run apps) which comes with OFBiz, in Derby Database. Derby comes configured with OFBiz ready to use.
For more options see README.MD.
- Direct your browser to https://localhost:8443/webtools and login with username "admin" and password "ofbiz" and look around a bit.
That's it, Apache OFBiz is now running on your system!!
