Importing DB Seed Manually

⇐ Table of Contents | Setting up Eclipse | Importing DB Seed Manually | Configuring iDempiere within Eclipse ⇒

Please note this procedure is intended for technical people wanting to configure iDempiere to run in Eclipse, there is an easier mechanism on the installers to create the database.

Let's check the steps to create an idempiere postgres database:

Set a password for the postgres user

sudo su - postgres
psql -U postgres -c "ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'TheSystemPassword'"
exit

WARNING: Of course this is an insecure password, it is recommended that you set up a proper password for this user account. You need this password for the instructions below

Run console-setup-alt.sh to initialize the parameters

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/linux/gtk/x86_64
bash console-setup-alt.sh
# answer all questions from this program, you can choose here database name, etc, take care of the two passwords:
  Database Password [adempiere]:
    answer this question with your desired password for the adempiere user
  Database System User Password []:
    TheSystemPassword  <- answer this question with the password you set on the previous step
# at the end the program must have generated two files, move them:
mv idempiere.properties .idpass $HOME/sources/idempiere

Import the database

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere
bash RUN_ImportIdempiereDev.sh

The last command must import the database and apply all the migration scripts.
