• #17: An Odoo (OpenERP) system is formed from three main components: the PostgreSQL database server, which contains all of the databases, which contains all data and most elements of the OpenERP system configuration, the OpenERP application server, which contains all enterprise logic and ensures that OpenERP runs optimally, the web server, a separate application called the Open Object client-web, which enables you to connect to OpenERP from standard web browsers. (quoted from The Architecture of OpenERP) Odoo has a set of Web Service APIs which allows external apps (web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications…) to connect to Odoo through XMLRPC (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/api_integration.html) or JSONRPC. When there is a greater needs for usage that a single server with default configuration cannot handle, we can extend the capacity by Enable workers to enable Odoo running multithreaded (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/reference/cmdline.html) Add more Odoo Servers. Use a load balancer (NGINX, HAProxy...) in front of those servers … (check other ideas from Improving the performance of Odoo deployments) To ensure the high availability of the application, we can also set up a database cluster with PostgreSQL (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/creating-cluster.html) Extra Resources http://odoo-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/02_architecture.html Odoo Online platform: architecture and challenges: http://www.slideshare.net/openobject/saas-challenges2014-35689422 https://www.odoo.com/slides/slide/performance-tips-tricks-399?&
• #18: Server - Web: offers an interface to communicate with standard browsers (see http.py) Server - ORM (Object Relational Mapping): provides additional and essential functionalities on top of PostgreSQL server consistency validation by powerful validity checks, providing an interface on objects (methods, references, ...) allowing to design and implement efficient modules, row-level security per user and group; more details about users and user groups are given in the section Users and User Roles, complex actions on a group of resources, inheritance service allowing fine modeling of new resources Modules: implement any business requirements. The core values of Odoo. Examples: Sale, Purchase, Account, CRM, HR, MRP... This will be seen in later slides. Moreover, Odoo uses MVC architecture design with models: the Odoo objects which have their data stored in the PostgreSQL tables. The database mapping is automatically managed by Odoo, and the mechanism responsible for this is the ORM. controllers: the methods defined in Odoo objects, for example, account.py views: defined in xml files with javascript and css, for examples, account_view.xml and account.xml. the controllers have complete access to the views and models (pull data from models, push data to views). from View to Controller : the reason why the view has limited access to the controller is because the dependencies from the view to the controller need to be minimal: the controller can be replaced at any moment.

• #23: Stages Pre-Analysis: Presentation of our companies. We collect your general requirements. Demo Trial: With the information gathered from the first meeting, we configure a personalized demo of Odoo. You explore the demo, run your main workflows and point out the limitations of the native applications (native = without customization). Analysis: We review your feedback on the demo, we list the gaps between the native features and what you need to run your processes (gap analysis). For each gap identified, we provide the solutions to fill it and its precise workload. We split the analysis into iterations (the gaps are gathered into steps): it provides visibility on the planning of the project and the integration in your company is easier. Implementation & Data Migration: We make the developments following the iterations agreed during the analysis. We import your data, we test the workflows. We provide a staging instance where you will test the features included in the iteration and we request your acceptance to be sure the customizations fit with your requirements. Deployment: Once you have validated one iteration, we deploy. The production begins with the first iteration; you start using the solution for your daily operations. Each iteration follow the same release process (plan, develop, validate, deploy). Post production & extra services Training: We provide training on-demand (initial training, newcomers ...) Hosting: We guarantee the availability and security of your application by administering, maintaining and monitoring the servers.This includes a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan). Support: Assistance for any issue related to the use of the application. Evolutions: We add/change features into your application.We also follow the standard release process.
