Hello,

We are trying to import organizational unit data from another system into
an instance of DHIS 2.15.

To create the import XML file, I mimicked the Meta-Data XML Export file for
exporting only Organizational Units. I stripped that file down to just one
simple org unit (at Level 2, Province) and revised it to reflect new test
data for a new test org unit.

I have all pertinent data in the XML file (including complete parent data)
except for the internally generated "id" for this new org unit -- so I
tried a couple of things: a) I made an id up, and b) I tried to import
without "id". The Meta-Data import does not import the test data in either
scenario. I get no error message but in querying the data on the backend
this test org unit does not exist in the database.

Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
