Macworld 2010 Report

Posted Fri, 02/19/2010 - 12:07 by wtonra

Macworld is the annual get together for the Apple and Mac faithful held every year in San Francisco. More than your typical technology conference, it has a long history of being THE event for Apple users (and fans), who come in from literally every corner world.  It is traditionally an Apple/Steve Jobs love show.  This year, there was a cloud hanging over the show as Apple announced last year that they would not be participating in 2010. The show has never been run by Apple, and the all-things i-Maker decided that they were no longer interested being the largest paying sponsor of the Fan-Fest.  Since the announcement, fear had gripped the Macworld regulars that if Apple bailed on the show, then the community wouldn't come out.  There was much anticipation as to how Macworld 2010 would really do. Read more »

PostgreSQL Kung-Fu: Migrating between major versions.

Posted Fri, 12/11/2009 - 12:06 by pclark

Has this happened to you?  You're called in to sandbox the newest version of xTuple for a customer.  "Piece of cake" you think to yourself, "I'll buzz in and buzz out, 30 minutes tops".

"ERROR: syntax error at or near "(" at character 578"

Arrrrgh!  We'll you try again, maybe even open up the update package and poke around looking for a syntax erorr.  "I know this worked on my laptop when I tried it at home..."  Deep breath, keep your cool... We all know that the 10 minute jobs are the ones that end up taking days and years off of our lives.  Read more »

Simple Postgres Server Monitoring Script for Linux and OSX

Posted Tue, 10/13/2009 - 11:37 by pclark

Nagios, Splunk, SNMP are various monitoring tools that can alert you to the status of connectivity to your SQL server.  While I would like to employ these tools to monitor our network, I find that I really just want a tool to tell me 'Hey!  Go check the server!  It ain't working because of x,y,z...'.  Checkpg.sh is such a tool. Read more »

Version 3.3 installers now available - for download and hosted demo

Posted Wed, 09/09/2009 - 16:22 by ned

Greetings all,

Just a quick note that the much-discussed xTuple ERP version 3.3.0 is now available for download at SourceForge.

Once again, we've built all-in-one installers for Windows, Linux, and Mac - which can install the xTuple ERP client, as well as a local copy of PostgreSQL, up to three sample PostBooks Edition databases, the xTuple Updater tool (also used for loading and unloading Packages), and the OpenRPT report writer.

And of course, the client can connect to either your own local database (usually PostBooks), or your own private hosted demo database featuring the full Manufacturing Edition functionality (including the new DRP engine in 3.3).

We look forward to your feedback! Read more »

Source Installing Postgresql on RedHat, Ubuntu and OSX

While xTuple does publish a full Installer which provides PostgreSQL, the preferred method for implementing a production PostgreSQL server is to build PostgreSQL from source. Using the Linux distribution provided packages (apt, yum, rpm, etc) has the potential to introduce incompatibilities and curtail the migration options. The easiest way to support the customer is to keep things simple - and building PostgreSQL from source is simple.

The Zero Footprint Advantage

Posted Thu, 08/13/2009 - 12:19 by jrogelstad

The decision making process for selecting an ERP system is often reliant on the needs of Accounting and Operations people whose primary concern is functionality.   Yet I.T. Administrators bear the burden of deploying the application and anything that goes wrong seems to fall on their shoulders.  Ask any I.T. person what they want in a business system and the answer is “Something that is easy as possible to maintain.”  For this reason I.T. Managers often assume that what would be easiest is a browser-based solution because they don't have to install anything on their users' client machines.  Think again.  xTuple's zero footprint solution is easier than that. Read more »

Application-Based Help Files

Installing xTuple Client Help Files

xTuple Clients feature a Help menu on the main menu bar. From this Help menu, users may access on-line documentation--that is, assuming the required help files have also been installed. The process for installing help files differs depending on the platform, Windows, Mac or Linux, of the client you are using. See below for instructions on how to install help files for the various platforms supported by xTuple. Read more »
