Hi David, that sounds correct. Unfortunately for 2.20 and 2.21 we changed some values into enums (predefined values in the data model) so 2.18 exports might not be compatible with 2.20 / 2.21.
One solution is to upgrade the target system before making the system to match the version of the destination system. regards, Lars On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 5:36 AM, David Hagan <david.ha...@sagehagan.com> wrote: > Hi there … > > My first posting I believe … > I suppose it should go over into the Developers List as well… but here’s a > heads-up in case you try the following: > > *Scenario* > > - We were taking metadata definitions for data elements (XML format) > from and instance of DHIS2 on version 2.18 to an instance on 2.20 > - Imports were failing with Error 500: Internal Server Error > > *Reason* > > - Version 2.18 exports have an attribute dataDimensionType, that when > set to disaggregation, as in > <dataDimensionType>disaggregation</dataDimensionType>, is not compatible > with the XML import parser for version 2.20 > - Version 2.20 exports and only imports the value in ALL CAPS … as > in <dataDimensionType>DISAGGREGATION</dataDimensionType> > > I haven’t had time to dig down further to see if this case-sensitivity > issue is global, just for this attribute or valid for other versions (e.g. > 2.21).
