Data exchange between DHIS2 and other external systems

[Stephan_Mestach (Stéphan Mestach)]

Integrating several systems… it’s always a challenge. Indeed “facility/dataelements/…” id mappings between the 2 systems is a necessary evil. In dhis2 you can store “mappings” in different places code a custom attribute value For the custom attributes, I think you can benefit of it with dataElementIdScheme, orgUnitIdScheme when calling the dataValueSets api. But the main challenges are probably keeping these mappings inline over time (new facilities, new data elements, dis-aggregation cha…
