Thanks for your interest. See responses below and don't hesitate to ask again if I haven't answered all your questions.

Hi

I'm just playing around with the SMS facility to get an understanding how it work, since I hope proposed automated calling would work in similar fashion. I'm trying this on demo server http://apps.dhis2.org/demo

Few questions
1) I have added a new person, assign him a TB visit program. From the Person Dashbored I can see the history of the person. On "Reschedule and set Status" menu there is a option to send a message. It has given textbox to write a message, can this text box populated with template messages already written? If yes how can I do that?
Will this send the message immediately or will it send at scheduled time?
This is the manual option for sending a message, and it's not prepopulated. The automatic (reminder) messages are set in the program setup, either on the stages or on the program itself (the latter only being available in the very latest software) and not on demo.


2) Maintenance >  Programs and Persons > Automated Message Reminder
I can see only text box for time input, and Start button and Execute button I activated Start button, will this activate sending messages for all users or Can this be configured that message to be send only to perticuler group, for eg. reminders will send to TB patients but not for Child program?

This is the batch job for sending out automatic reminders. When this process is running, it'll generate messages for the next day at midnight and then send out the messages the next day. These reminders are sent out as configured in the 'Stage' of Maintenance -> Persons and programs -> Program -> View program stages (icon) -> Edit stage, bottom of page. This is a message related to each stage, and is meant as a reminder SMS. So it could be an SMS 5 days before a visit is due, with a reminder to come, or with educational messages if you prefer that.

On the instant build of trunk apps2.dhis2.org/dev which has the trunk version, there is also an automated message for the program itself, set with regard to when the user joined the program. So you can then set for example that someone joining the TB program will get an SMS on the day they joined, and 2 months afterwards.

The thing about these servers is that they are reset every night, so the alert configuration doesn't survive. So the demo and dev servers don't work properly with the alerts. For some of the alert functions, you can press 'Execute' to process immediately, and see that the message is in the 'Mobile configuration' -> View sent SMS page. BUT for this to appear there, there might have to be an SMS configuration under 'SMS Service configuration'. This gets reset every night, and we need to add a dummy SMS configuration so we don't have to create a configuration every time.


Documentation Says see "Add program stage section for defining a template message " I can't find this adding template message on system can someone please point it to me?
Maintenance -> Persons and programs -> Program -> View program stages (icon) -> Edit stage, bottom of page.

This is for the automatic reminders, not the manual reminders you mention in the beginning of your email.

    Hi All,


    I am a Mphil student of University of Colombo School of Computing,
    Sri lanka. I have worked in software industry, 1.5 years for
    opensource software companies. I'm well experienced developer in
    java/ jsp-servelts/ jquery. I have written several research papers
    also.


    I'm interested on idea -Dialplan (PBX) generation for patient
    communication. I have already downloaded the sourcecode build it
    on Eclipse. I'm reading the documentation and trying to get better
    understanding of the source code specially the DHIS2-Tracker section.


    I tried to run the dhis.war file and standalone program, but could
    not succeed. It gave me this error "Exception in thread "Thread-2"
    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" Seems to be a memory
    problem, i'm running this on my laptop having 2Gb RAM. Does it
    need lot of memory to run?


    Will it be interested to create some mockups for the user
    interfaces that I'm planning to develop and submit with the proposal?


    Below is brief about my opensource experience related PBX systems.


    I have worked for projects Feasibility study to enable Freedom
    Fone with voice-based Emergency Data Exchange (FF4EDXL)
    (http://lirneasia.net/projects/2010-12-research-program/ff4edxl/) and

    Voice-enabled Information Communication Technology for Disaster
    Management
    (http://lirneasia.net/projects/2010-12-research-program/voiceict4d/)
    as a Reserch assistant/ Analist programmer.


    We have used Sahana Eden (http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/) a
    well known disaster managemed system combined with Freedomfone
    (http://freedomfone.com/) an opensource IVR build using
    FreeSWITCH. The basic workflow is; when disaster happens ground
    level coordinators call the system and leave a situation report,
    later they may call asking for their disaster needs. These voice
    messages routed to Shana system and converted into text and saved.
     Central hub operators act upon the messages they have received.
    This video explains the scenario in more detail
