Re: Problem regarding DHIS2 metadata migration from MySQL to PostgreSQL
Hi Hannan,
my approach to this would have been to
- upgrade both versions to 2.11
- do a full dxf2 meta-data exchange between the systems
- for the data values use the CSV data value import-export and made sure
that you use the start-end dates when exporting to split the files into
manageable sizes, e.g. approximately 500 000 records per file.
regards,
Lars
