Interesting, I didn't try with with tracker.The application get meta-data just from dataSets, the main goal is to combine properly organisationUnit Ids with dataElements Ids.
The xml with dataSets contain just that information.Further development could include the information about the type of data and validation rules, therefore the generation of fake data could be accurate.

I had made an attempt at this using the dhis-adhoc code, though it wasn't completed ) because there were a few complexities (I'll try to dig up the source to share but it will probably need several updates to fix as this was when tracker was the Patient Tracker. What I attempted was to check the datavalue type and randomize the current values based on the range set. Removed all first name, last name (this was back when it was the patient tracker) Reset all of the email address and phone numbers (so that people don't get alerts from the demo system) The two complexities that I ran into is that people often would insert data using SQL and so you'd find 0.0 or other inconsistencies where it should be an integer and other data related issues. The second is that people can put patient names and private data in any of the text fields so you'll have to replace all text with Lorem Ipsum to make sure it is anonymized.On May 8, 2016, at 9:17 AM, Oreste Parlatano <oreste@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Perfectly agree with you. The generation of fake data can be based on a more comprehensive set of meta-data, instead of just the dataSets.I think that further development could solve the problem.At the moment the application solves the main hassle: assembles the combination of dataElements Ids with organisationUnits Ids. I did not write an in-depth article about because I have time just during the weekends, not all of them, but I will do it next week, in order to understand better the inner mechanism. The results, of the actual mechanism, can be modified by means of a spreadsheet. In case of wide interest in the application, I can proceed in further development. Egoistically now the application solves the problems of testing some specific installations here in Mozambique.Regards Oreste Parlatano oreste@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://oreste.in On 2016-05-08 01:06, Calle Hedberg wrote:Hi, I presume you want the data set exported with allocated orgunits.... The main drawback with randomly generated numbers is that a lot ofthings won't make any sense with such data, like data validation rulesand indicators. It will work for certain types of "techie" testing only - health workers won't be able to relate to data and indicators that makes no sense. A more useful approach would be having an app that can take a real-world DHIS2 database and then randomise those numbers within specific parameters:- that general relations between different data elements and catcombosare maintained (i.e. it changes 890 children immunised and 1000children <1year into 925 immunised and 1045 children <1, NOT into 1834children immunised and 287 children <1 as randomly generated numbers might do)- the general activity levels of different orgunittypes are maintained(i.e. big hospitals have much larger numbers than small clinics and mobiles).
