Import of Organisation Units using CSV / working example with Features Type and Coordinates? [SOLVED]

Thanks Ant for your input!

So in debugging this further using the mapping from the Java source file (see below snippet from organisationUnitsFromCsv method in
https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-core/blob/fb50a8c3c34ba5a27f30c9268bab9241aef3f15d/dhis-2/dhis-services/dhis-service-dxf2/src/main/java/org/hisp/dhis/dxf2/csv/DefaultCsvImportService.java
), it turns out that UUID is not a valid column (as stated in the Developer Guide) and was causing the out of order problem.

I have attached a sample of a working file including Feature Type and Coordinates as I am sure someone else will encounter this problem.

Book16.csv (366 Bytes)

···

if ( values !=
null
&& values.length >
0 )

        {

            OrganisationUnit object =

new OrganisationUnit();

            setIdentifiableObject( object, values );

            String parentUid = getSafe( values, 3, null, 230 ); // Could be UID, code, name

            object. setShortName( getSafe( values, 4, object.getName(), 50 ) );

            object. setDescription( getSafe( values, 5, null, null ) );

            object. setOpeningDate( getMediumDate( getSafe( values, 6, "1970-01-01", null ) ) );

            object. setClosedDate( getMediumDate( getSafe( values, 7, null, null ) ) );

            object. setComment( getSafe( values, 8, null, null ) );

            object. setFeatureType( FeatureType.valueOf( getSafe( values, 9, "NONE", 50 ) ) );

            object. setCoordinates( getSafe( values, 10, null, null ) );

            object. setUrl( getSafe( values, 11, null, 255 ) );

            object. setContactPerson( getSafe( values, 12, null, 255 ) );

            object. setAddress( getSafe( values, 13, null, 255 ) );

            object. setEmail( getSafe( values, 14, null, 150 ) );

            object. setPhoneNumber( getSafe( values, 15, null, 150 ) );

            object.setAutoFields();

Hi Stephen,

The one thing that caught my attention was that another column “Closed Date” should come after “Opening Date”. Since you do not have an extra “,” after 1970-01-01, the subsequent columns might be misaligned with the coordinates actually trying to import into the url column.

The GIS experts out there might comment on the format of the co-ordinates, but I would expect it to be in the format “[7.495005,9.074908]”

Good luck

Regards

Ant

Greetings All,

Does anyone have a working example, that includes Features Type and Coordinates, for the import of Organisation Units using CSV for 2.2.5 (currently using Build Revision 8dd81e6)?

I have tried numerous approaches using the available documentation, but always encounter a challenge when the import files contains Features Type and Coordinates (as defined here https://docs.dhis2.org/2.25/en/developer/html/webapi_csv_metadata_import.html#webapi_csv_org_units).

Sample excerpt from my import file:

Name,UID,Code,Parent UID,Short name,Description,UUID,Opening date,Comment,Feature type,Coordinates,URL,Contact person,Address,Email,Phone number

Bacta One,thzLERyqmDe,thzLERyqmDe,YtReWq54321,Bacta One,Bacta One,1970-01-01,test,Point,“7.495005,9.074908”,

Bacta Two,ms1BoduOt0I,ms1BoduOt0I,YtReWq54321,Bacta Two,Bacta Two,1970-01-01,test,Point,“7.476555,9.04081”,

I have tried various combinations of the Feature Type (Point, POINT, POLYGON, leaving it blank) and have also tried putting the Coordinates in brackets ([7.495005,9.074908]).

A common response I get back during dry run is the below, which makes me believe I have fields out of position or something else is happening with the Feature type field based on a few different “enum” exceptions in the dhis.log file.

OrganisationUnit

String

Property url requires a valid URL, was given 7.02149,4.76539.

Many Thanks in Advance,

-Stephen

Thanks Stephen,

We will update the documentation, it should definitely have a full example in addition to the minimal example that is there currently.
