[Edwin Mulwa <eddiemu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lars,

That could indeed be the case though the interesting thing is that it was
only after I created the resources tables that the import went through -
using the same dataset that had failed initially when I did not do the
resource tables creation. I tested this multiple times just to be sure. A
caveat to that is I haven't tested this process again since I managed to
make my DHIS installation use an actual database instead of an in-memory
database. Will make time to test that and see what happens.

Edwin
