If you plan to upgrade your PostgreSQL version we recommend going straight to 
version 10, as it contains several great features and performance improvements. 
Also, we will eventually require this version and so going directly to version 
10 will avoid multiple successive upgrades.

[Dhis2-users] postgresql version 9.6 required for dhis version 2.31

Hi all,

heads up: for DHIS 2 version 2.31 we will require PostgreSQL version 9.6.

This is in order to take advantage of certain SQL features introduced in
that version. The current required version is 9.4.

If you plan to upgrade your PostgreSQL version we recommend going straight
to version 10, as it contains several great features and performance
improvements. Also, we will eventually require this version and so going

Re: [Dhis2-users] Text in Pivot Tables

[Sarah Searle]

Hi Damien,

Thanks for sharing. We recently experienced the same behavior. It seems the
text values are present in the datavaluesets and the analytics tables, they
just don't show up in the Pivot App itself. A bit frustrating for the end
user because this worked up until quite recently. I need to get around to
adding a Jira ticket for this. If you create one, let us know so we can
keep an eye on it!

Best,
Sarah

Hi Kate,

Unsure if anyone else has replied but we tested a Data Element to capture 
‘Comments’ in Data Sets & found out it is displayed only when exported to an 
Excel file in the Pivot Table app/section - an extract is attached.

If anyone knows of an update/fix/better alternative please share.

We're *relatively* new users of DHIS2 and are trying to see written text in our

2 questions for this group:

  1.  Do Pivot Tables provide the ability to see written text entered into the

[Dhis2-users] Help needed: Checking a string with single quote in program rule...

[M.Selvaraaj Prabu]

Hi all.

Kindly assist me to resolve this issue.

I want to check a single quoted string in a program rule such as "variable
== 'Don't know'". I tried using two single quotes (Don''t know) and escaped
with a backward slash (Don\'t know) but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions? Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and regards.

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] Generating sequential numbers in program rule

[M.Selvaraaj Prabu]

Hi Terrance,

Sometime back I read about this. I think you need to use the expression like

   -

   ORG_UNIT_CODE(…) + "-" + CURRENT_DATE(ww) + "-" + SEQUENTIAL(#)


Instead of using the function concatenate. Please refer the below link for
more details:

   -
   https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/working-with-textpattern.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards

 Hi Terence,
 Should be possible using CALCULATED_VALUE.
 Program rule variable having source type as CALCULATED_VALUE will get
 its value assigned by some other program rule. Try these steps
 1. create program rule variable of source type CALCULATED_VALUE // Let
 say "auto-increment"
 2. create program rule with Program Rule Action as Assign Value and
 select variable created in step 1 and assign it "#{auto-increment} + 1"
 3. Use it in your program rule where ever needed for example
 v{current-date}-#{orgunit}-#{auto-increment}

 In order to use CALCULATED_CALUE make sure you are correctly setting
 rule *priority*.

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] Generating sequential numbers in program rule

[Terence Scott]

Dear Zubair, Nick

I have upgraded the instance to 2.30 now and am attempting to once again
implement the sequential numbering using the TextPattern option. I am using
it on a TEAttribute, but have not had any success.

Thus far, my Defined program rule action looks as follows:

d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-')

This is currently working and generating the UID, but of course, without
the sequential numbers. I have attempted the following combinations to try
include the sequential numbers to no avail:
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
SEQUENTIAL(###))
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
Sequential(###))
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{Sequential(###)})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{sequential(###)})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{sequential###})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
'SEQUENTIAL(###)') - this one simply added the text in (as suspected).
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-') +
SEQUENTIAL(###)

None of these combinations have worked thus far. Clearly I am
misunderstanding something or missing something and would appreciate any
help.

Kind regards,
Terence

 Dear All

 I am creating a program rule to develop a UID for the patient. I have
 currently created a program rule using d2:concatenate to bring various
 attributes and DEs together into the Unique ID (such as date and OrgUnit
 code). However, I would also like to include sequential numbering after
 this to ensure that more than 1 case can be registered on a single day.

 I have looked through all of the documentation and am unable to find
 anything along these lines. Is it possible?

 Example:
 2018-10-10-OrgUnit code-1;
 2018-10-10-OrgUnit code-2;
 2018-10-10-OrgUnit code-3; etc.  (where 1,2 and 3 are the sequential
 numbers generated).

 I have also looked at Program Rule variables and am unsure as to what
 the "Calculated value" source type is, as in the documentation it is listed
 as "TBA" with no further

Re: [Dhis2-users] Help needed: Assigning current date to a data element...

Dear MSP

I am not sure if you are aware, but see the following documentation for the
codes used to create the "current date" in the program rule.

https://docs.dhis2.org/2.30/en/user/html/configure_program_rule.html

Please see *Table 21.14. Standard variables to use in program rule
expressions  *

>From what I am aware, these variables are applicable to past versions also
(therefore should work for 2.29 and 2.28 as I have used them in 2.28).

I hope this helps.

[Dhis2-users] Help needed: Assigning current date to a data element...

[M.Selvaraaj Prabu]

Hi all,

I am Selvaraj Muthusamy from PCI, Botswana. We have customised DHIS2 (2.29)
to manage our OVC database. We are using Tracker App to capture the
individual case management.

We have a field (data element) called "Data entered on" and this has to be
the current date and time. I created a data element "Data entered on" as
"Date" type. Now I want to assign the current date and time automatically
to this field when the form is opened. Unfortunately, I am failing to set
this up through a program rule. I could not find a function or system
variable to use for this purpose.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards

MSP
