Hi all,

 

>From what I am told whatever resources you load into DHIS under Reports >
Resources and whether you add them to a dashboard those are stored in a
subfolder in the war file folder on the server. When the war is updated all
those files are destroyed and thus you don't have those copies anymore. Any
reason why those resources are stored in the war file folder and not in the
same location as uploaded files on the dhis2_home or even better in the
database itself?

 

The problem is that you add those documents to a dashboard and if you update
the war file they no longer available. best not to have an option to share
resources then if you need to reload them every time.

 

I do understand that DHIS2 has the ability to store files but the use in
this case is for example to add manuals or SOPS or guidelines to the system
so the file storage is not ideal rather chose to use resources since it is
available in DHIS2. We also using it to load user access forms which may not
be intended usage but is useful and the reality is that every time the war
is updated everything that is uploaded is destroyed - quite a shock.

 

I must also say that the documentation does not provide clear guideline on
how this feature should be used and a warning that anything you load there
is stored in the war file?

 

Regards,
