NAME

App::LedgerSMB::Admin - Easily Manage LedgerSMB Installations

VERSION

Version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

This module provides the basic routines for managing multiple major versions of LedgerSMB through a consistent toolkit.

It contains basically two components:

command line scripts
libraries for writing management programs

BUNDLED CLI PROGRAMS

lsmb_reload

Due to improper errors, this currently does not work properly with LedgerSMB 1.3. It is expected that it will following the LedgerSMB 1.3.45 release (forthcoming).

The lsmb_reload application provides a command line tool for upgrading or rebuilding stored procedures and permissions of a LedgerSMB 1.3 or 1.4 database.

Due to shortcomings in error handling it does not work for LedgerSMB 1.3.44 and below.

The program supports UNIX sockets as well as TCP/IP for connecting to the LedgerSMB database, and all aspects of the database connection may be controlled through the same environment variables as any other libpq program.

The following options are supported:

   --all                    Reload All Databases
   --help                   Print this message and exit
   --host hostname          Database Host
   --path13 /example/path   Path to LedgerSMB 1.3 installation
   --path14 /example/path2  Path to LedgerSMB 1.4 installation
   --port 5432              Database Poart
   --dbname database        Reload the specified db, overridden by --all
   --username postgres      Database Superuser to Log In As
   --prompt-password        Prompt for Password (can use PGPASSWORD instead)

lsmb_createdb

Due to improper errors, this currently does not work properly with LedgerSMB 1.3. It is expected that it will following the LedgerSMB 1.3.45 release (forthcoming).

The lsmb_reload application provides a command line tool for upgrading or rebuilding stored procedures and permissions of a LedgerSMB 1.3 or 1.4 database.

   --help                   Print this message and exit
   --host hostname          Database Host
   --path /example/path     Path to LedgerSMB installation (required)
   --chart us/chart/General Chart of Accounts path (relative to sql)
   --gifi  ca/gifi/General  Path to GIFI
   --port 5432              Database Poart
   --dbname database        Create db with the following name (required)
   --username postgres      Database Superuser to Log In As
   --prompt-password        Prompt for Password (can use PGPASSWORD instead)
