I have used the following versions for this topic:
1. Operating system: Windows7 64 bit
2. MySQL: mysql-5.5.23-winx64 (zip) - the topic is still valid for 32 bit version
3. MySQL JDBC driver: mysql-connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar - to be placed in <ofbiz-dir>/framework/entity/lib/jdbc
4. OfBiz: apache-ofbiz-10.04
Step - I
C:\mysql-5.5.23-winx64\bin>mysql -u root
mysql>create database ofbiz;
mysql>create database ofbizolap;
mysql>create database ofbiztenant;
mysql>use mysql;
mysql>select database();
mysql>create user ofbiz@localhost;
mysql>create user ofbizolap@localhost;
mysql>create user ofbiztenant@localhost;
mysql>update user set password=PASSWORD("ofbiz") where User='ofbiz';
mysql>update user set password=PASSWORD("ofbizolap") where User='ofbizolap';
mysql>update user set password=PASSWORD("ofbiztenant") where User='ofbiztenant';
mysql>grant all privileges on *.* to 'ofbiz'@localhost identified by 'ofbiz';
mysql>grant all privileges on *.* to 'ofbizolap'@localhost identified by 'ofbizolap';
mysql>grant all privileges on *.* to 'ofbiztenant'@localhost identified by 'ofbiztenant';
Step - II
Use webtools to export all data to XML:
a. Start OfBiz
b. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/catalog/
c. Go to Applications>WebTools
d. Go to section 'Entity XML Tools' and click the link 'XML Data Export All' - export the data to a directory of your choice
Step - III
1. Stop OfBiz server
2. Create a backup of <ofbiz-dir>/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml
3. Edit entityengine.xml as follows:
a. Update the following datasources
<datasource name="localmysql"
helper-class="org.apache.ofbiz.entity.datasource.GenericHelperDAO"
field-type-name="mysql"
check-on-start="true"
add-missing-on-start="true"

join-style="ansi-no-parenthesis"
alias-view-columns="false"
drop-fk-use-foreign-key-keyword="true"
table-type="InnoDB"
character-set="latin1"
collate="latin1_general_cs">
<read-data reader-name="tenant"/>
<read-data reader-name="seed"/>
<read-data reader-name="seed-initial"/>
<read-data reader-name="demo"/>
<read-data reader-name="ext"/>
<read-data reader-name="ext-test"/>
<read-data reader-name="ext-demo"/>
<inline-jdbc

pool-minsize="2"
pool-maxsize="250"
time-between-eviction-runs-millis="600000"/><!-- Please note that at least one person has experienced a problem with this value with MySQL
and had to set it to -1 in order to avoid this issue.

<!-- <jndi-jdbc jndi-server-name="localjndi" jndi-name="java:/MySqlDataSource" isolation-level="Serializable"/> -->
</datasource>
<datasource name="localmysqlolap"

</datasource>
b. Replace derby with mysql in default, default-no-eca and test delegators as follows:
<delegator name="default" entity-model-reader="main" entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main" distributed-cache-clear-enabled="false">
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="localmysql"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap" datasource-name="localmysqlolap"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.tenant" datasource-name="localmysqltenant"/>
</delegator>
<delegator name="default-no-eca" entity-model-reader="main" entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main" entity-eca-enabled="false" distributed-cache-clear-enabled="false">
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="localmysql"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap" datasource-name="localmysqlolap"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.tenant" datasource-name="localmysqltenant"/>
</delegator>
<delegator name="test" entity-model-reader="main" entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main">
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="localmysql"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap" datasource-name="localmysqlolap"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.tenant" datasource-name="localmysqltenant"/>
</delegator>
c. Save this file
Step -IV (It has already been changed in OFBiz so this step can be skipped)
1. Open ofbiz/framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/jdbc/DatabaseUtil.java in eclipse and replace sqlBuf.append(" TYPE ") with sqlBuf.append(" ENGINE ")
2. Save the file and run ofbiz/build.xml
Note: This is required because TYPE was deprecated in MySQL 4.0 and removed in MySQL 5.5. The older TYPE option was synonymous with the new option ENGINE
Step -V
1. Run the following command from command prompt:
ofbiz-dir>java -jar ofbiz.jar -install
2. Start OfBiz
3. Use webtools to import all data from XML:
a. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/catalog/
b. Go to Applications>WebTools
c. Go to section 'Entity XML Tools' and click the link 'XML Data Import Dir' -> In the 'Absolute directory path:' enter the full path of the directory where you exported the data in Step - II
