Hi Rodolfo,

thanks for the feedback. The detailed export was removed temporarily due to
time pressure - we wanted to get DXF2 in for 2.12 but didn't have time to
re-implement detailed export. Will put it back for 2.12.

In the meantime your needs can be covered through the web api like this for
data elements (example runs against demo, substitute ART query with WHP -):

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataElements/query/ART.xml?viewClass=detailed&paging=false&links=false

query/<criteria>: define your query criteria
viewClass: ask for all details about data elements
paging: turn off paging
links: skip links

for category combos:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryCombos.xml?viewClass=detailed&paging=false&links=false

for data sets and custom forms:

http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataSets.xml?viewClass=detailed&paging=false&links=false

You can then import these files on the other side.

It's documented here:
