Hi

The folk in ghana are hitting a problem running analytics where an
invalid table name is being generated.  Specifically the sql which
fails is:

create table analytics_event_temp_-1_r8cbfnorkzf ( ...

instead of something like ...

create table analytics_event_temp_2015_r8cbfnorkzf ( ....

Does anybody have an idea how that "-1" is getting generated and where
they might start to look to track down the problem.  I can see from
the source code that the string is created with

name += PartitionUtils.SEP + PeriodType.getCalendar().fromIso(
period.getStartDate() ).getYear();

For some reason that getYear() is returning -1 which means they must
have some dodgy period as input.  Jason has pointed out that for
analytics, the period might not be coming from the period table, but
rather calculated from incidentdate or enrollmentdate or the like.

If anyone has some helpful advice to give Tony in tracking this down
would be appreciated.  As background, I understand this has happened
after an upgrade to postgres 9.5 but this doesn't look like a database
version problem to me.

I am not too sure of the dhis2 version but perhaps Tony can elaborate.
