Sierra Leone database corrupted? Detailed meta-data export do not work?

Hi,

I’m not sure what’s going on: when opening the Sierra Leone demo, a lot of text strings are appearing as a string of box symbols.

The detailed meta-data export also do not work - I’ve tried both on the demo and on my local instances. All exported XML files are ~257 bytes in length and contain ONLY the header - no data. It’s the same on local instance (2.19 latest) and on the demo.

Any ideas?

Regards

Calle

Answering your first question: it’s most likely a font/encoding issue (the language for the demo is currently set to Burmese). Did you try a different browser?

Halvdan,

Yes, I tried Chrome on my laptop and then Firefox on my main dev PC - same problem.

Are you able to for instance export data validation groups from the demo? (with the xml file NOT being empty)?

regards

Calle

I cannot see anything wrong with the output of the detailed metadata export on the demo. Did you try it for yourself at https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/ ? Is there an error in the logs?

The font issue comes down to the machine you’re on in any case. I have the same issue on my (virtual) Windows box. I’m sure there’s a language pack or something somewhere you can get if you need the myanmar fonts to display properly. It really isn’t a server issue. The demo has been changed back to English, by the way, so the font should be back to a familiar latin one.

Halvdan,

Yes, I did try it for myself - but I didn’t pick up that the demo had been changed to Myanmar language (stupid of me), that would explain all the funny characters. I don’t have that language pack installed, obviously.

I’ve just tried again now - the funny characters are all gone, of course, but I’m still getting empty metadata.xml files (just contains the header).

Mmm - database language is set to Burmese - changing that to English…

TEST 1:

OK - exporting from the detailed export “main page” works OK, I get results as expected when I click “ANC Indicators” and then click Export.

TEST 2:

I then click “Ad-Hoc Export”, which opens up the list of all main meta-data resource tables.

I tick “Select all” indicators (or any other resource table), then click “Export” at the bottom - and the metadata.xml file is once again empty.

Did you use the “front page” detailed metadata export, or did you use the ad-hoc page?

Regards

Calle

Ok, so evidently the select all checkbox in the UI does nothing, causing the export to be empty. Selecting all the indicators (or whatever other object) in the dropdown using the >> button seems to work just fine. Use that workaround for now, and we’ll get a fix for this out soon.

Halvdan,

Sigh - my brain must be going on REALLY slow, I didn’t even think about that way of doing it.

Will you log a bug on this, or should I do it?
