Re: GIS shapefiles integration / info about names of feature members

 

Hi Pamod,

There are data in the .dbf files, corresponding to the names of the
different feature members (or different entities within QGIS). I then used
the QGIS 'save to GML' option in order to generate the .gml files, as well
as the ogr2ogr from FWTool, but not getting the feature members merged into
the .dbf files.

@Jason: Isn't there an option for the ogr2ogr command to 'force' include
the .dbf files when generating the .gml ones ?

@Sushil: I installed the mapshaper app, but when trying to run it, I get
this error message:
HTTP Status 404 - /dhis-web-commons-about/
appstore.dhis2.org/Mapshaper/index.html

*type* Status report

*description* *The requested resource
(/dhis-web-commons-about/appstore.dhis2.org/Mapshaper/index.html
<http://appstore.dhis2.org/Mapshaper/index.html>) is not available.*

I'm using DHIS2 version 2.15.

Best regards,

Kader
