Embedded Database

Possible Mentor: Michael Vorburger

Mifos uses MySQL 5.1 as its primary database.Mifos has abstraction from underlying database using

• Hibernate as ORM (must have good experience with Hibernate)
• Liquibase as Database refactoring tool
• DbUnit as test dataset maintenance

We want to achieve :

• In memory Simple / easy launch of integration/acceptance testing, without requiring an external DB (ideally in an automatically created RAM Disk...)
• Development without manual MySQL installation
• Possibility of Mifos self-contained demo package using HSQL DBPossibility of using Mifos with other databases (least configuration refactoring)

The first thought that comes to mind is to achieve this with a pure-Java in-memory database such as H2. However, in order to avoid maintaining & supporting 2 different databases for Mifos, basing this on https://github.com/vorburger/MariaDB4j would be interesting.

Do some Googling, Search Mifos JIRA, mailing list for more information. Identify some small problems related to this project and submit patch (if possible), Come up with a good plan and start a discussion on developer mailing list.

Add/Improve import functionality

Mentor: ~jslawinskiJakub Sławiński (Unlicensed)

The current Mifos version supports only importing of the Client data (that allows to create new clients in the system) and transactions (payments/disbursals/withdrawals/etc.). Many MFIs have requested to extend import functionality to allow importing Loans/Savings data (to create new accounts in the system). Moreover, It would be great to have the possibility to bulk modify existing clients/accounts via import functionality (currently you can only add new client entries). This feature will be very useful during data migration from the legacy MIS, which is an Achilles heel of the Mifos currently.
