Hi Adrian,

you can define an identifier scheme for organisation units. Unfortunately
we haven't enabled that for other stuff such as program. Docs here:

http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch30s10.html#d5e8065

Mind you that these are not internal dhis 2 codes (e.g. like database
identifiers), rather publicly exposed identifiers which you can browse and
look up through the web api, e.g by going to api/programs.

--

OrgUnit matching: By default the orgUnit parameter will match on the ID (of
the orgUnit, but from 2.15 you can also select the orgUnit id matching
scheme by using the parameter orgUnitIdScheme=SCHEME, where the options
are: ID, UID, UUID, CODE, and NAME (ID and UID will both matchUIDs).


regards,

Lars
