Re: Timestamp returning date in web api call for datavlaue set

 

I feel it would be good as a full ISO 8601 string.
2013-11-19T14:01:54 with or without the timezone.

Surprisingly, in the call that I pasted in my last email, for 3 datavalue there is no timestamp attribute.
Also the link which Knut sent doesn't have timestamp attribute. It will be good if they are consistent and with timestamp.

I like the lastupdated name instead of timestamp. This also allows to follow-up if the values have been changed or not since the last time they were read.

So what do we want here, a full timestamp as in numbers, or a full ISO 8601 string? We have had it likes this for several releases now, and it has the potential to break external users.
I'm not too happy with the name "timestamp", but I guess that's minor..

Rajib probably meant for this Web API call.
Trying out the Web API Call mentioned in the doc on "Reading Large bulks of data value"
http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets.xml?dataSet=pBOMPrpg1QX&dataSet=BfMAe6Itzgt&startDate=2013-01-01&endDate=2013-01-31&orgUnit=YuQRtpLP10I&orgUnit=vWbkYPRmKyS&children=true



Yes, I can see the timestamp lists only date and I agree would be good that its a full timestamp instead of date only.

Hi Rajib,
Looking at the following query, there is in fact no dataelement lastupdated for dataValueSets, perhaps you are referring to completedDate?

Hello,




We
 are using DHIS2 2.13 as the backend system for Kolkata Medical 
Emergency System. The concept note of the project can be found here: 
http://www.missionarogya.org/p/kmes.html. The online portal is using the web-apis

The datavaluesets web-api calls are returning the lastupdated timestamp for the dataelement. But it returns it as a date instead of a timestamp as following: timestamp="2013-10-16"





Example calls from the demo: 
http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets?dataSet=pBOMPrpg1QX&period=201201&orgUnit=DiszpKrYNg8





http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets?dataSet=pBOMPrpg1QX&startDate=2013-10-15&endDate=2013-10-17&orgUnit=DiszpKrYNg8&orgUnit=DiszpKrYNg8&children=false








We will really appreciate if this can be solved.




Thanks,



Rajib
