Creating groups and group sets by using the API

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi,

I’m trying to create automatically data element groups and group sets by using the API and Pentaho data integration. I had created data element groups (empty groups) successfully. Then, I had tried to created a group set and associate the corresponding groups by using the “items” property of data elements group sets. The group sets had also been created, however, the corresponding groups are not associated. Following, I have pasted a small json that I’m using to reproduce the problem:

{“dataElementGroupSets”:[{“name”:“Laboratory 3”,“items”:[{“name”:“MALARIA TESTING”,“id”:“BIVjmofP0E4”}]}]}

“MALARIA TESTING” is a data element group created before and “Laboratory 3” is the group set. As I said, everything is created, however “MALARIA TESTING” is not linked to “Laboratory 3”

Is this correct way to procedure? Is it possible to create this relations with the API?

Thanks in advance,

Octavio.

It should be “members” not “items”, items is used for something else (its part of the dimensional model), you don’t need the name (but it doesn’t hurt, it just gets ignored)

Hi Morten

Is the ‘members’ necessary?

I just tried exporting a groupset from demo using the detailed metadata export and I get rendered something like:

{“created”:“2014-07-08T10:59:37.392+0000”,“dataElementGroupSets”:[{“name”:“Diagnosis”,“created”:“2011-12-24T11:24:25.124+0000”,“lastUpdated”:“2013-03-20T12:15:08.002+0000”,“shortName”:“Diagnosis”,“description”:“Diagnosis”,“compulsory”:false,“dataDimension”:true,“id”:“jp826jAJHUc”,“dataElementGroups”:[{“name”:"Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) ",“created”:“2011-12-24T11:24:24.298+0000”,“lastUpdated”:“2013-03-15T15:08:57.206+0000”,“id”:“oDkJh5Ddh7d”},{“name”:“All Others”,“created”:“2011-12-24T11:24:24.298+0000”,“lastUpdated”:“2014-03-02T21:16:50.246+0000”,“id”:“GBHN1a1Jddh”},{“name”:“Anaemia”,“created”:“2011-12-24T11:24:24.298+0000”,“lastUpdated”:“2014-03-02T21:17:45.177+0000”,“id”:“KmwPVkjp7yl”} …

or is this a case where the output format is maybe not quite in line with the input?

PS looks like some silly bugger has been messing with the admin password on demo :frowning:

Oh, I’m sorry. It should be dataElementGroups of course, our internal model uses members, but it’s rewritten to dataElementGroups.

OK good. Thanks Morten.

Octavio, you might find the functionality of the detailed metadata export (under import export module/app) to be particularly useful in understanding the format of detailed snippets of metadata. I find it very useful to be able to identify individual snippets like dataelementgroups, groupsets or what have you and be able to export those for further examination.

OK with dataElementGroups. Next time, for sure I will consider using the detailed metadata export either wondering URLs in the browser, je.

Thank you
