Brute Force your OpenERP data integration with OOOR inside the Kettle ETL

OpenERP is all the rage among open source ERP's but its native import/export have limitations when it comes to data integration. Server side OpenERP import/export is powerful but not so easy to get started and get interfaced. On the contrary, the famous Kettle open source ETL from Pentaho connects to almost anything, any SGBD thanks to the JDBC connectors, any CSV, Excell files...
With TerminatOOOR you have all the power of the full OpenERP API right inside your ETL data in/out flow. You can do any Create Read Update Delete operation enforcing the access rights of OpenERP. But you are absolutely not imited to that, in fact you can just do anything you would do with your OpenERP client: click buttons, perform workflow actions, trigger on_change events... This is because OOOR gives you the full access to OpenERP API.Thanks rvalyi (more...)

News from The Roar of the Fagiano*

jAPS 2.0 Tag Library Documentation
They published the TLD Doc for jAPS 2.0.

Have a look at japs-20-tag-library-documentation

Ruby OOOR UML reverse engineering tool





I don't know if you got that, but Ruby OOOR connector for OpenERP is able to draw UML diagrams of any OpenERP classes since version 1.2.3. It uses the ir_model and ir_model_fields table to draw the UML, meaning even fields.function are properly displayed unlike tools that just connect to the database schema.

Run jAPS 2.0 screencast now is old


A few months ago my friend Andrea  published a screencast titled "Run jAPS in 10 minutes" which shows how to run jAPS 2.0 version 2.0.6.

So now that video is old :) It's old but still valid!
You can still follow the entire video and just remember that you HAVE TO configure /META-INF/context.xml instead of /WEB-INF/conf/systemParams.properties!!

There was many changes between 2.0.6 and 2.0.8 but in order to run jAPS 2.0 (2.0.8) in 10 minutes follow the old video guide and just editcontext.xml instead of systemParams.properties.

...So I suppose Andrea will  make a new video ASAP :) maybe with jAPS 2.0.10 :D
