Good morning all,

I’m transferring organisation units between two instances of version 2.21
(XML Metadata import).

I received two ‘ignored’ OrgUnits on a Dry Run import where the error
message indicated *“Validation Violations:
[ValidationViolation{property=‘id’, message=‘Allowed range for length [11,
11], length is 10’, value=w6pbH5HjDD}]”*

On further investigation, I noted the developer manual indicates that a UID
is a “Stable identifier. *Max 11 char.* Will be generated by system if not
specified.”

These were system generated ID’s (from a previous version 2.18), but it
looks like the import schema check is specified as 11 char only (i.e. won’t
accept a 10 char ID).

Any insights? (We can get around it by generating a new UID of course for
the object in question I suppose, but are the new versions of DHIS2
guaranteed to only generate 11 Char UIDs?)

Cheers

David
