This is slightly more complicated.. Prohibiting the whole import process
because of too long shortnames is a bit too strict for my sense. If we
cut them off at 20 characters we risk that names that in the first place
are unique become non-unique, and cause the import process to fail.
Appending random characters was previously the behavior for orgunits,
but later reported as a bug... Fixing this issue directly in the dhis
1.4 data source would be preferred option in my opinion.

Bug description:
DHIS 1.4 file imports will allow Dataset names with more than 20 characters while DHIS2 does not. The import works, but then when you edit a dataset, a validation message says that the dataset name can be no longer than 20 characters. You must then change the name of the dataset in order to save any changes
