Apache OFBiz support almost database(MySql, Postgres, Derby, Oracle, Sysbase,…). By default, OFBiz uses Embedded Derby as database. In this post, I will show you how to change(For example: MySql) to another database.

Step 1: Open entityengine.xml file
Go to: OFBiz source directory -> framework -> entity -> config
This file have xml structure.
Step 2: Change data-source from Derby to Mysql
Find the following lines:(some first lines)
<delegator name=”default” entity-model-reader=”main” entity-group-reader=”main” entity-eca-reader=”main” distributed-cache-clear-enabled=”false”>
<group-map group-name=”org.ofbiz” datasource-name=”localderby”/>
<group-map group-name=”org.ofbiz.olap” datasource-name=”localderbyolap”/>
<group-map group-name=”org.ofbiz.tenant” datasource-name=”localderbytenant”/>
</delegator>
Change “datasource-name” to:
- datasource-name=”localmysql”
- datasource-name=”localmysqlolap”
- datasource-name=”localmysqltenant”
OFBiz has three main databases:
- group-name=”org.ofbiz”: For main database.
- group-name=”org.ofbiz.olap”: For olap database.
- group-name=”org.ofbiz.tenant”: For tenant database.
In the remaining part of files, you find three template data-source for mysql:
- <datasource name=”localmysql”
- <datasource name=”localmysqlolap”
- <datasource name=”localmysqltenant”
In each tag, you have to change database’s address, database name, user-name and password to your database configurations. Change them in attribute:
- jdbc-uri: database address and database’s name(red and blue color)
- jdbc-username: database’s username(magenta color)
- jdbc-password: database’s password(yellow color)
For example:
jdbc-uri=”jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/ofbiz?autoReconnect=true”
jdbc-username=”ofbiz”
jdbc-password=”ofbiz”
Now, you can work with Apache OFBiz on Mysql database.
