RDQA Metadata Transfer

Program Metadata Tansfer

The metadata from a DHIS2 program contains items necessary for rendering within the enabled DHIS2 server. The DHIS2 server includes an Import/Export tool to generate a JSON or CSV file with all configurations in the server. However, certain attributes may need cleaning to prevent errors during import to the target server. These attributes typically involve references to users that don’t exist in the target server. To streamline the process and avoid manual deletion of each attribute, we can use the Program Configuration App (PCA). You can read more about the PCA here.
