Re: Exception when importing metadata dataelements

 

Hi

 

Thanks Romain. I solved it by doing just that I dropped the active column from the dataelement table by running the SQL :-

 

ALTER TABLE dataelement DROP COLUMN active CASCADE  (The CASCADE drops the field from the views as well.)

 

Thanks again

 

Regards

Pooben

Hi Pooben,

I know this problem! I’m sure you migrate your system recently form a version 2.something to the latest 2.18 without going through the 2.17?

If this is the case your database is not as the 2.18 expect it to be. I can’t remember exactly how I solved it, but I think you have to remove  column “active” in a table.

If you confirm that you skipped the version 2.17. I can provide you with the exact manipulation I did.

 

Regards,

 

Romain

Hi All

 

>From looking at postgres it looks like the db restore is adding the active field as a constraint to the table.

Looks like database was not amended or upgraded as later databases do not have this ‘not null active field’

 

Thanks for the Help

 

Regards

Pooben

Are you sure you imported this file as data elements and not organization units?

Pooben,

 

I see that you csv file is actually correct in the sense that all the fields except the last two (Option set and Comment option set) are included. There's been some recent changes to the csv import of option set, but as far as I know that did not include making the option set UID here compulsory.

 

Looks like a bug, then

Calle

Pooben,

 

There is NO field called "Active" in the data element meta-data CSV import - see table 1.11 in the developer manual (below)

 

There used to be a field called "Active" in the Organisationunit table, but that was dropped in from version 2.17 or 2.18 onwards. There's never been any "active" field in the data element or indicator tables - not even in version 1.x

 

The only issue to be aware of is that the "name" column, which in the description below is defined as Unique, actually is NOT unique. Only the UID and Code columns are unique - if you import a data element with a name that already exists in your DHIS2 instance (but where the UID is different), it will import it and create a duplicate with no warning.

Calle

What position in the csv file must the active field be in or is this a bug?

Attached is my csv file.

Pooben
