One thing to watch out for is the reordering of components of analytical objects. You can see this here in the script I linked to in the earlier mail. If you delete an organisation unit from say a chart, without reordering the other organisation units, it will lead to an error when trying to load that object after the organisation unit has been deleted.

Hello Jhansi Reddy Karee and All,
I have work around for this by creating SQL view procedure for deleting an organisation unit in dhis 2 instance .
Just kindly find attached SQL file with all procedure functions for delete an Organisation unit.
Steps on how to use this
Step 1:
All you need to do edit variable for storage of all backup files as csv in case you want to rollback all deleted data.
Below is variable to changes on line number 6 with path to directory for backup of deleted data, for instance on my case is “/tmp/data” but it must have readable and writable.
" temp_dir VARCHAR := ‘/tmp/data’; "
Step 2:
Apply this sql file into your database
Step 3:
Create sql view and excute it.
For instance if zs9X8YYBOnK is uid for organisation unit to be deleted then SQL view will be
SELECT deleteOrganisationUnit(‘zs9X8YYBOnK’);
Hopes might help you.

Thanks Jason,
Since we just have data values for the organisation units (which should be deleted), we are able to remove them after clearing the data associated with them using /api/maintenance/dataPruning/organisationUnits API.
Thanks,
Jhansi

It might work for you, but I am not 100% sure if that API endpoint will clear out everything. As you can see from the SQL function, orgunits may also have other dependencies, like pivots, charts, user associations, etc. The deletion handler for orgunits may refuse to remove it, if the object is associated with other objects.
It might work in your case, but may not.
Good luck,
Jason

Thanks for the quick reply Jason,
In DHIS documentation, we came across a WEB API which can clear all the data of the organisation unit.
/api/26/maintenance/dataPruning/organisationUnits/<org-unit-id>
API Details: Data pruning will remove complete data set registrations, data approvals, data value audits and data values, in this case of an organisation unit.
We are expecting that this API will clear all the data of the given organisation unit and any data/approvals of its parent organisation units will be untouched. Is our expectation correct?
Do you see any problem with deleting data for the organisation unit using this API.
Thanks,
Jhansi

Hi Jhansi,
You will also need to get rid of the data in the data value audit table.
Here is an SQL function which might work for you.

Hello Team,
In DHIS 2.27, we are not able to delete an organisation unit after deleting all the data associated to it.
Following are the steps we have followed to do this:
- Delete all the data associated to the organisation unit
- In Data administration app, under maintenance, we have performed maintenance over “Permanently remove soft deleted data values”.
- Tried deleting the organisation unit. But, we are getting the following error: Could not delete due to association with another object: DataValueAudit
Please let us know if we have missed anything.
Thanks,
Jhansi
