[Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Joao Mazuze]

Hi guys,
I know that surveillance rules compare data from previous periods with the 
current one. Now I need to compare data values from the same data elements(left 
and right side), but the rule ignores the previous value and compares only the 
current value itself which doesn´t make sense as surveillance rules compare 
current values with previous ones. How can I solve this?

Kind regards,
João

Hi Joao,

A surveillance-type validation rule should work as you say, comparing the
current values of the left side with previous values of the right side. I
don't know why you aren't seeing this behaviour.

When you create a new surveillance-type validation rule, be sure to give a
non-zero "Sequential sample count" to compare with periods immediately
preceding the current period, and/or a non-zero "Annual sample count" to
compare with the same period in past years. If you choose both, it will
compare the current data with a range of sequential periods in this year
and in past years.

If this is not the problem, I would need some more information to
understand better your situation. If you can reproduce the problem on the
demo system https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/, or on another system to which I
can be given access, that might help the most.

Cheers,
Jim

Re: [Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Joao Mazuze]

Thank you Jim,
Here is the problem´s background:
We need to compare current period value from previous one (monthly period) as 
the current one it is mandatory to be greater than other. In this case on the 
demo system I made an example for Bumban MCHP org unit, comparing between March 
2015 and April 2015 for dataelement “BCG doses given (<1y)”, for any value 
applied to this dataelement the validation always passes successfully, what is 
strange, the related surveillance rule is called “testePreviousPeriod”. Our 
goal is to be able to compare those monthly periodical datavalues.

Thank you Joao.

Were you trying to use this validation rule to validate data in an input
form? Surveillance-type rules are not designed to work this way. They are
used after data entry to look for patterns in the data, when added to a
validation rule group and run under "Validation Rule Analysis".

If you were trying to validate data against previous values, I would like
to know more about your use case. Can you say more about what the data
elements are, and how they should relate to previous periods?

[Thuy Nguyen]

Hi Muhammad

CSS is very easy, you can learn quickly from this website
http://www.w3schools.com/css/

And then you can apply them in the form in "design data entry form" of each
dataset. or html template in the standard report.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Joao Mazuze]

Hi Jim,
Of course I was trying to validate in an input form. In my own case I have a 
set of data elements that after  entered  current period  values for this data 
elements we have to compare with the respective  immediate previous period 
values as in our scenario will not make sense when user enter greater values 
for the current period when compared to previous. That’s why I tried to create 
an example on the demo site as described on my last email, but unfortunately 
did not work, even when running “validation rule analysis” after assigned to 
“validation rule group”, called   Testing.

Kind regards,
Joao

Re: [Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Jim Grace]

Hi Joao,

Can you say more about the semantics of what you want to compare with past
periods? For example, are these cumulative values? What do they measure?

The reason I ask these questions is to understand better the potential
usefulness of adding this feature to DHIS 2. If you have a compelling use
case, and if it is consistent with the philosophy of how DHIS 2 is used,
then it will add more weight to this feature as we compare its priority to
other possible enhancements.

Cheers,

Re: [Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Joao Mazuze]

Yes Jim, these values are cumulative, that´s why we have to compare with 
previous period to avoid user data entry errors. We have often got  many 
problems when analysing data in our reports because of user entry errors, so we 
think this feature will solve this, comparing before post and alerting the user 
if the value entered is lower than previous one.

Cheers,
Joao

usefulness of adding this feature to DHIS 2. If you have a compelling use case, 
and if it is consistent with the philosophy of how DHIS 2 is used, then it will 
add more weight to this feature as we compare its priority to other possible 
enhancements.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Of course I was trying to validate in an input form. In my own case I have a 
set of data elements that after  entered  current period  values for this data 
elements we have to compare with the respective  immediate previous period 
values as in our scenario will not make sense when user enter greater values 
for the current period when compared to previous. That’s why I tried to create 
an example on the demo site as described on my last email, but unfortunately 
did not work, even when running “validation rule analysis” after assigned to 
“validation rule group”, called   Testing.

Kind regards,

Thank you Joao.

Were you trying to use this validation rule to validate data in an input form? 
Surveillance-type rules are not designed to work this way. They are used after 
data entry to look for patterns in the data, when added to a validation rule 
group and run under "Validation Rule Analysis".

If you were trying to validate data against previous values, I would like to 
know more about your use case. Can you say more about what the data elements 
are, and how they should relate to previous periods?

Cheers,
Jim

Thank you Jim,
Here is the problem´s background:
We need to compare current period value from previous one (monthly period) as 
the current one it is mandatory to be greater than other. In this case on the 
demo system I made an example for Bumban MCHP org unit, comparing between March 
2015 and April 2015 for dataelement “BCG doses given (<1y)”, for any value 
applied to this dataelement the validation always passes successfully, what is 
strange, the related surveillance rule is called “testePreviousPeriod”. Our 
goal is to be able to compare those monthly periodical datavalues.

Hi Joao,

A surveillance-type validation rule should work as you say, comparing the 
current values of the left side with previous values of the right side. I don't 
know why you aren't seeing this behaviour.

When you create a new surveillance-type validation rule, be sure to give a 
non-zero "Sequential sample count" to compare with periods immediately 
preceding the current period, and/or a non-zero "Annual sample count" to 
compare with the same period in past years. If you choose both, it will compare 
the current data with a range of sequential periods in this year and in past 
years.

If this is not the problem, I would need some more information to understand 
better your situation. If you can reproduce the problem on the demo system 
https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/, or on another system to which I can be given 
access, that might help the most.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi guys,
I know that surveillance rules compare data from previous periods with the 
current one. Now I need to compare data values from the same data elements(left 
and right side), but the rule ignores the previous value and compares only the 
current value itself which doesn´t make sense as surveillance rules compare 
current values with previous ones. How can I solve this?

[Dhis2-users] Problem with AttributeOptionCombo in Export File

[Morina Matasi]

Dear DHIS2 Users,

I recently upgraded two systems from 2.14 to 2.18. These two system
exchange data through XML import-export of data.

After the upgrade, I noted that data import stopped work. Infact, the
import will not throw any errors, but no data will be imported. On closer
examination, I noted the following:

- the 2.14 import file did not have the XML attribute called
attributeOptionCombo in the Datavalue tag. This attribute is now present in
the import/export file for DHIS2.18.

- the attributeOptionComboID column in the DataValue table now show a
different value for the same dataelementid compared to the same
dataelementid under 2.14.

- if I manually update the DataValue table and change the
attributeOptionComboID to the value that appeared under 2.14, the
dataelement will reflect values in the pivot table.

Please help. Where am I getting it wrong or is there something I missed
during the upgrade. All I did during the upgrade was replace the DHIS2
folder with the latest version and restarted tomcat.

Re: [Dhis2-users] Surveillance rules

[Jim Grace]

Thank you, Joao.

Others may be able to speak to this better than I, but validating
cumulative data values may not be a strong use case for a DHIS 2 feature.
The DHIS 2 documentation generally advises against collecting cumulative
numbers in data elements. See for example
https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/implementer/html/dhis2_implementation_guide_en_full.html#d3287e894

Instead, it is recommended to collect only the incremental number that is
added during a time period. This allows a single data value to be entered
-- the count for that month -- and it can be analyzed in DHIS 2 both as a
new count and a cumulative count through time. See for example the use of
indicators to represent cumulative data in
https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/implementer/html/dhis2_implementation_guide_en_full.html#d3287e965

Cheers,
Jim

[Dhis2-users] Problem reading data values with the web api

[Adam Uhuru]

Hi

I am trying to read data values using the web api, and followed the
developer manual. I am getting this error message each time:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with
it. The document tree is shown below.

This error happens when even typing the request on the browser this way
http://domain:port
/api/dataValueSets.xml?dataSet=ID1&orgUnit=ID2&period=201401

Do you know what could raise this error ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Adam

Hi Adam,
This is not an error really, but just your browser telling you that it
cannot render the XML which the API returns to it. You can use Google
Chrome or Firefox and you will be able to see the XML. There are also
browser plugins available which will render it more human readable form.

Regards,
Jason

You can also replace .XML with .json for an alternative view.
