Migration Guide

There has been significant change from OpenERP7 to Odoo10. Hence an automated migration is not possible. 

In addition, if you have added any additional module, custom or stock, then it can further complicate the migration.   

1. You can find a comprehensive technical guide relevant to Migration from OpenERP7 to Odoo10 in the attached document "Final_OpenERP_to_Odoo_v10_Migration.pdf"
2. For data migration, please refer to the attached document "Data Migration from OpenERP7 to Odoo 10.pdf"

Caution: Please do not try this on production system. Its advisable that you test out first on your test/staging environments before you proceed with data migration. 

We would advise that you look at Odoo as a completely different system and start afresh. There are significant changes in model and migrating data even if possible will require additional/custom scripting. 

We would suggest

• Plan for closure of OpenERP
• Setup Odoo as described in configuration/setup pages
• Import master data (using CSV or Excel) - export from OpenERP, cleanup, import in Odoo. 

Not

ready to upgrade to Odoo, what can I do?

There might be plenty of reasons for you not to upgrade to Odoo 10 yet. For example, you are middle of the Financial Year and you maintain your accounting in OpenERP. 

Bahmni 0.92 works perfectly fine with OpenERP 7. So you can install Bahmni 0.92 in a separate machine (without Odoo) and then configure settings to connect to older OpenERP 7 running separately. 

To connect to older OpenERP7, you need to change a few properties of "Bahmni ERP Connect".

• In the new machine, where you have installed Bahmni 0.92, find and edit the file "/opt/bahmni-erp-connect/bahmni-erp-connect/WEB-INF/classes/erp-atomfeed.properties". Change the following properties
  • jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://[OpenERP Machine IP Address or FQDN]/openerp 
  • openerp.port=8069
  • openerp.host=[OpenERP machine IP Address or FQDN of the ]
  • openerp.database=openerp
  • openerp.user=[openerp login user]
  • openerp.password=[openerp login user password]

NOTE: For "Bahmni-erp-connect" to talk to OpenERP7 running on another machine, you need to ensure

• The old machine is visible from the new machine over HTTP
• The old machine's port 8069 is allowed/accessible
