Hello,
We have a DHIS2 instance we support that already has data (Health Pyramid,
Data Elements, DataValues). The system takes into account a level that is
actually not used by most people and more importantly not by systems we
need to integrate with.

On a business side, it make sense removing it altogether - I'm wondering if
someone already did something like that and how ?

I can imagine something such as (supposing last level is 4 and we remove
level 3):

- Check any data linked to Org Unit of level 3 and backup/delete
- Reattach all org unit of level 4 to their grand parent (level 2)
- Delete level 3 entities
- Regenerate or update the level 4 to 3

I suppose this would be easier done in the DB than with the API.

Anyone with experience or advice on a process like that ?

Thanks,

Martin
