Re: Betr: Import of coordinates fails in v2.27(DHIS2)

 

Hi again Kristiyan.

I also agree with you that this isn't a UI issue because my import failed
using both the UI and the terminal (cURL) command to upload.

Nghia has provided a CSV file. I see that it has square brackets for the
coordinates. I'm pretty sure I tried this before and it failed, but could
you give it a try?

If it fails I'll create the JIRA issue and post the link here.

If the import fails and you're using the UI, in the import summary after
you import you should see an error that says something like: value not
coordinate.

In the meantime, what would be the problem with an XML file? Would it be
too large? Is every entry 2000 columns?

Good luck!
