Hi Jason,
Basically what we are trying to achieved is a way to simple export data from a legacy system into dhis2. Once this system only generates excel files as output we would like to import the generated file directly(without modifications) to DHIS2 and have an import summary. We know that we can do it using several different approaches and we are considering them J.

Why can't you just simply export CSV instead? Seems that given the structure of your data, you could just simply use the CSV importer instead of setting up an integration route?

Transforming data - a Java route of the User Manual we see that there is a way to do this integration using Java routes, but we are having some difficulties in implementing a proof of concept. In our PoC scenario we have a XLS file sent by an external application (DataValues.xls in attach). Our idea is to create a Java route in order to import all data values that exist in that file. Following the tutorial Customer 3: Excel via e-mail presented in the Apache Camel page - <http://camel.apache.org/tutorial-business-partners.html> http://camel.apache.org/tutorial-business-partners.html - we have been able to transform the XLS file in a list of DataValue objects. Basically, we only had to create a XLSDataIn route and a ExcelConverterBean (files in attach). The XLSDataIn takes an InputStream of an XLS file and calls the ExcelConverterBean. The ExcelConverterBean iterates through the file, and for each data value row, creates a new DataValue object and adds that object to a list of DataValue objects. Now we are having some issues because we dont know the best way to insert these data values in DHIS2. The questions we are having are: 1. The approach that we have used to implement our PoC is the correct one? I mean, XLS -> List<DataValue> -> import is correct or we should use XLS -> CSV -> import? 2. How should we proceed, after the XLS file has been processed by the ExcelConverterBean?
