     <para>The import option allows different instance of DHIS2 to receive standardised set of data in the absence of a networked system. Typically, a data set is exported from one DHIS instance (e.g. a district level system) to another system (e.g. a provincial level system).  DHIS2 is capable of importing data from other systems that either support the DXF of IXF formats. DHIS2 is capable of importing data directly from a DHIS 1.4 Access database. Each of these options will be discussed in the following sections. </para>

       <title>Importing data from DHIS 1.4</title>
       <para>There are two ways to import data from a DHIS 1.4 database; 1) through the 1.4 XML-based export files, or 2) directly from the DHIS 1.4 data file (.mdb). Both are accessible from the DHIS 1.4 Import menu under Import in the Import-Export module.</para>
+      <para>It is critical that all data integrity violations which are present in the DHIS 1.4 database be fully resolved before attemtping an import into DHIS 2. You can check the data integrity of DHIS 1.4 through the CORE Module-&gt;Advanced-&gt;Data integrity checks. A report will be generated of all data integrity violations which should be resolved prior to importing into DHIS 2.</para>

Just be sure that the DHIS 1.4 export format has been set to &quot;DHIS 2.0&quot; as illustrated in the screen shot below.  After the data has been exported by DHIS 1.4, you can import the data by choosing &quot;Services-&gt;Import-Export-&gt;DHIS 1.4 Import-&gt;DHIS 1.4 XML Import&quot; and proceeding via the procedure outline in the <link linkend="import_another_instance">previous section</link>.  </para>
