Technical FAQ

Technical questions about Odoo instances, customization, and integrations.

Can I install custom modules?

Yes! You can install:

  • Odoo Apps Store modules: Install directly from Odoo
  • VedTech Marketplace modules: Available in our shop
  • Custom modules: Contact support for custom module installation

Note: Custom modules must be compatible with your Odoo version and may require review.

Can I access the server via SSH?

No. VedTech is a fully-managed platform. Direct server access is not provided for security and stability reasons.

However, you can:

  • Access your Odoo instance via the web interface
  • Use the Odoo Developer Mode for customization
  • Install modules through Odoo's Apps menu
  • Request custom module installation via support
How do I enable Developer Mode in Odoo?

To enable Developer Mode:

  1. Go to Settings in your Odoo instance
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page
  3. Click Activate the developer mode

Or add ?debug=1 to your URL.

Note: Developer mode is for advanced users. Some changes can affect system stability.

Can I connect to the database directly?

No. Direct database access is not provided for security reasons.

Alternatives:

  • Export data: Use Odoo's built-in export functionality
  • API access: Use Odoo's XML-RPC or JSON-RPC API
  • Reporting: Create custom reports in Odoo
  • Full backup: Download database backups for offline analysis
How do I connect external applications to Odoo?

Odoo provides several integration options:

  • XML-RPC API: Traditional Odoo API (port 8069)
  • JSON-RPC API: Modern JSON-based API
  • REST API: Available with additional modules
  • Webhooks: Configure automated triggers

Example XML-RPC connection (Python):

import xmlrpc.client

url = 'https://yourinstance.tenants.vedtechsolutions.com'
db = 'your_database'
username = 'admin'
password = 'your_password'

common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f'{url}/xmlrpc/2/common')
uid = common.authenticate(db, username, password, {})

models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f'{url}/xmlrpc/2/object')
partners = models.execute_kw(db, uid, password,
    'res.partner', 'search_read',
    [[['is_company', '=', True]]],
    {'fields': ['name', 'email'], 'limit': 5})

How often are backups created?

Automatic backups: Daily at 3:00 AM UTC

Retention periods by plan:

  • Solo: 7 days
  • Starter: 14 days
  • Professional: 21 days
  • Enterprise: 30 days

You can also create manual backups anytime from your instance page.

Can I upgrade my Odoo version?

Version upgrades (e.g., Odoo 18 to 19) require a migration process:

  1. Backup your current instance
  2. Create a support ticket requesting the upgrade
  3. Our team will assess compatibility
  4. We'll perform the migration in a test environment
  5. You review and approve
  6. Migration is applied to production

Note: Some custom modules may need updates for compatibility.

What's the difference between database and file storage?
  • Database Storage: Stores your Odoo data (customers, invoices, products, etc.)
  • File Storage: Stores attachments, images, documents uploaded to Odoo

Both are included in your plan with separate limits. If you're running low on either, you can:

  • Clean up old/unused data
  • Compress images before uploading
  • Purchase storage add-ons
  • Upgrade to a higher plan
Is there an SLA (Service Level Agreement)?

Yes! Our SLA guarantees:

  • Uptime: 99.9% monthly uptime
  • Backups: Daily automated backups
  • Support Response:
    • Starter: 24 hours
    • Professional: 8 hours
    • Enterprise: 4 hours (priority)

Enterprise customers can request a custom SLA with additional guarantees.
