metadata import and export from dhis 2.22 to 2.23

Support - Assistance technique
1

Good morning,

I have been trying to import dhis 2.22 metadada from one server to another server that uses dhis 2.23 using import/export app. By selecting individually the different metadata types, some of them are imported to 2.23 just fine, while some others are imported or upgrades giving conflicts.

Why does these conflicts appear and what do they mean? How can we solve them?

Thank you in advance,

Núria M.

Hi

The way to do this is NOT to export meta-data from one version and import it into another version - as a general rule that is not supported. It works in the majority of cases where there’s been no changes to the api or the data model, but it will not work for cases where there’s been significant changes. (off hand, I seem to recall the upgrade from 2.22 to 2.23 was significant…)

The “safe” way is to

  • create a new (local) database instance and copy your 2.22 source database into that.

  • run the upgrade script to 2.23 on the new 2.22 copy, and follow any other instructions.

  • start up the newly upgraded instance, check for integrity violations etc and make sure everything is running as expected.

  • export from the new upgraded instance to your destination 2.23 instance.
