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

Support - Assistance technique
2

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
