Data Exchange app for Tracker to Aggregate - how to trigger without scheduler?

I don’t know specifically why items are being ignored. This could be, for example, because the data element on the target system has zeroIsSignificant: false and you are trying to import zeros. Or it could be that the configured user does not have the appropriate write access to save new data for the data element. In short, there are many reasons why it might be ignored.
I understand your point that it would make it significantly easier to understand the results if you knew the specific reason for why the data was ignored on import. I will talk with the team about whether this is something we can modify to improve more details.

It only seems to “ignore” data that has stayed the same. So in my impression, this is a bug. It actually seems to be doing this on the import/export app also.

Program indicators should be calculated on the fly, so they will not be saved in the aggregate data model in your system. Only when you hit submit will the values be transmitted to the target system and saved to the data elements you have mapped to.

Okay, I think this is actually working as intended then, even though it is showing STOPPED instead of COMPLETED. Our use case requires the data to be automatically pushed to the aggregate system. We do daily data review and don’t want to have to go in and trigger each exchange. I’m thinking we can just write a script to do this via the aggregateDataExchanges endpoint…

Thanks a lot for your help!
