Hi Farai,

the meta-data import process is documented here:

http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s05.html

First, you need to construct your XML (or possibly JSON), something like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

absoluteless_than_or_equal_to

#{pEOVd4Z3TAS.Prlt0C1RF0s}

People asked at Penta3 if Exclusive breastfeeding, <1 year Fixed[33.292]

true

#{n6aMJNLdvep.Prlt0C1RF0s}

Penta3, <1 year Fixed[25.292]

true

MonthlyQuestion asked at Penta3 vs number of Penta3

Please note the wrapper element. After that you can POST your xml to the metaData web api resource with something like this if using curl and naming the file metaData.xml:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -u admin:district -d @metaData.xml "[http://your-server-url/api/metaData](http://your-server-url/api/metaData)" -X POST



regards,

Lars

Great. Just realized that when you create new validation rules there is not much point in setting last updated, created attributes. Code is also not mandatory. Check out this minimal example.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

absoluteless_than_or_equal_to

#{pEOVd4Z3TAS.Prlt0C1RF0s}

People asked at Penta3 if Exclusive breastfeeding, <1 year Fixed

true

#{n6aMJNLdvep.Prlt0C1RF0s}

Penta3, <1 year Fixed

true

Monthly
