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

Support - Assistance technique
1

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,

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

Afternoon all,

I had the same error/issue this morning following the documented column format for organisation unit CSV import using 2.26. When I removed one of the ‘blank’ columns before the URL column (e.g. comments), the import worked successfully (including the GIS coordinates). This suggests that one of the documented columns is no longer expected as part of the csv import function for 2.26.

Cheers,

David
