Issue with updating Dataelement names through Postgress backend

Has anyone else had an issue with updating the dataelement table on the backend? I’ve cleaned up my data element names changing “# of” to “Nb of” and browsed the table in pgadmin and it looks fine. When I start DHIS-2 live, it initially displays the revised names, but as soon as I edit a data element it reverts the entire table back to the old version. I’ve deleted and recreated the resource tables and tried the operation 3 times. Any suggestions?

There is also a way to clear the DHIS/hibernate cache in Data Administration->Cache Statistics.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that as well... both the DHIS Cache and the Chrome browser cache. Neither seem to make any difference.

After initially listing the data elements correctly, the first time I edit any indicator I see the old names and the entire table reverts.

Hi Randy,

Did you try a restart of the application itself?

Ah, one more idea, as I have seen something like this happen before,
but not quite this serious.

Is there a proxy server between you and the application server?

Is this in your online server, Randy? I could take a look and see if I
get the same from here (Saigon).

And just a stray thought - but do people think there is any way this
could be related to sorting?

Hi Knut,

No... this is on my localserver instance. There is no proxy server in between. I've edited the hibernate file to comment out the autogenerate schema line... then I shut down and restarted dhis-2 live. That was weird. It reverted to an earlier version of the system without any of the data. Once I reenabled the autogenerate and restarted. I was back to my original data schema but with the old dataelement names.

I think I'm going to try and restore from an earlier backup. Lots of things are not working: for example when I try to export to DFX to move to MySQL - it doesn’t move any of the orgunits or datavalues. I've also downloaded the latest .jar file. Maybe my installation is damaged.

Randy,

It sounds like this is somehow related to your hibernate.properties
file. When the version without any data came up, could that be because
it was in fact using an H2 database?

I think the line you are referring to probably should not be commented
out, but it can take on different values:

When changing hibernate.properties, always check Help-> About DHIS2
after restart to ascertain that you are in fact looking at the
database you think you are (i.e. the same as you are looking at in
PgAdmin).

I know facts ruin a good discussion but the problem here is the database translations:) You will have to update the corresponding value in the table called “translation” or simply truncate the table and restart the application.

Lars

Thanks Lars,

That did the trick! I truncated the translation table and the data loaded fine after a restart.

Mystery solved.
