Thanks Darius and Rafal for clarification. I have added Rafal's note to the user guide https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/User%27s+Guide+for+Metadata+Sharing+Module
What do you think about changing the text "Overwrite your existing item with the incoming one" to "Overwrite content of your existing item with the incoming one" on the Import package page? I think my use case is "replace item". Should this be possible with "Choose replacement"? I couldn't test this, because if I click on "choose replacement" button nothing happens . I am using Firefox 6. As a workaround I have deleted old forms in MySQL and imported the package again. - Peter On 08/25/2011 06:13 PM, Darius Jazayeri - Gmail wrote: Also, just FYI, the metadatasharing_imported_item table stores the mapping between the (external) UUID of the item you imported, and the (internal) UUID on your system. -Darius On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 9:03 AM, Rafal Korytkowski <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Peter, UUIDs and IDs stay intact at all times on the system where you import things and even if you choose to overwrite some data, only the content is overwritten. You should see that the content of the form has changed on your system. It is a design decision we made so that no existing UUIDs or IDs references in your system get corrupted. -Rafal On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 3:20 PM, Peter Eichenauer <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Hi Dave, > > let me give you an example. > > metadata.xml contains > .... > <org.openmrs.module.htmlformentry.HtmlForm id="6382" > uuid="12cc254e-ed9b-4f20-b4e4-df126d9cb075"> > <creator/> > <dateCreated id="6383">2010-11-24 03:38:26</dateCreated> > <changedBy/> > <dateChanged id="6384">2011-08-02 09:32:36</dateChanged> > <retired>false</retired> > <form id="6385" resolves-to="org.openmrs.Form" > uuid="847d3c57-f095-46ef-992f-455a5969b6d1"> > <name>Adult HIV Flowsheet - New Allergy</name> > ... > > importing metadata and selecting "overwrite" I would expect that I could > load a form with UUID=847d3c57-f095-46ef-992f-455a5969b6d1 > > but it fails and in the table form I see Adult HIV Flowsheet - New > Allergy with UUID=7ce2dbfc-7011-4ac3-81a7-91c5ef47b7c7 and > date_changed=2011-08-25 11:15:18.0 > > - > Peter > > > On 08/25/2011 02:41 PM, Dave Thomas wrote: >> Do you mean that you ended up with duplicate Form objects (same name, >> different uuids), because Form wasn't found by name? >> >> d >> >> On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 11:30 AM, Peter >> Eichenauer<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I have been importing a metadata sharing package on metadata sharing >>> 0.9.0.2.
