data mart deprecation - 2.21

Hi,

we are thinking of removing the data mart functionality in DHIS 2. This refers to the ability to populate the “aggregateddatavalue” and “aggregatedindicatorvalue” tables with pre-aggregated data.

The data mart is no longer in use by DHIS 2. There might be third-party report tools out there that connects directly to the data mart tables.

We recommend that you connect reporting tools to the analytics web api for the sake of performance, accessibility and security. If you need to connect with JDBC it is possible to create a SQL view to combine all analytics partitions and perform aggregation using group by statements.

If we do not hear strong objections within a week we will remove data mart for version 2.21.

regards,

Lars

Thanks Lars.

I was the biggest user of the datamart until last year and I agree to your suggestion of using the webapi. The webapi is better in performance and ideally it can do almost everything with addition of a few SQLviews in case of too specific requirements.

Thanks for the great work Dev team.

Thanks Lars,

Now pivot table is good enough to serve users. But for some specific program requests, we use sqlviews.

I support the idea, in our settings we don’t use Datamart.

In Bangladesh we are not using Data Mart; instead we are using paralytics. So no problem from our end.

That seems a little extreme, but whatever works. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
