dxf2

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi devs,

I'm helping to migrate user-specified aggregate data from an external j2ee system to dhis2 by transforming their data to dxf since it looks like these transfers would happen very frequently.

I'm writing in to check if the new dxf, dxf2?, has taken off. Is there a description?

And come to think of it, will (or is) the old dxf be deprecated?

thanks

Ime

Hi Ime,

I think Bob is the one who can answer this authoritatively, but there
are some schemas here in the documentation branch.

Hi Ime

For the moment dxfv1 remains what there is and support for it will remain. I have had some discussion with Jo regarding the new web api he is building. It is my hope that the xml which we use with that will in effect be dxf2 but I think it is currently too much in flux to target.

How “dimensional” is the data? It might also be that it makes better sense to transform to sdmx-hd which we can also import. We import this by transforming internally to dxf, so even if we change dxf we would still support sdmx.

The schemas in the doc branch were speculative - Jo has taken some ideas from there but also adds some flexibility of representation as well as taking advantage of the drive to stabilize our identifiers,

Hi Bob, Jason et al,

Thanks.
I've been testing Jo's work and since it uses the new format I thought that we had moved to dxf2.

Bob,
where is the interface for sdmx import pls?
And please can you send or direct me to a sample of sdmx-hd?

Thanks

Ime

There is no separate interface. We import sdmx-hd data through the same interface as importing dxf(v1). The message is transformed internally to dxf and imported that way.

The exchange of metadata is not so user friendly (partly because we have been settling a lot regarding dxf and stabilizing of identifiers). Basically you can generate an SDMX-HD Data Structure Definition from a dxf metadata export. I have done this “manually” using an xslt transform.

You can find this (see create_dsd.sh) and some sample data from iHRIS and openMRS at lp:~bobjolliffe/+junk/sdmx-hd
