Agenda:
- How to use DATIM APIs - Instructions on how to initiate API calls for data exchange with DATIM. Including establishing connection to DATIM (Vlad S.)
- DATiM data import response messages - What to expect in terms of feedback on the import of a good file and files with errors (Vlad S.)
Documents:
Minutes:
- This call is focused on the SIMS community. The next call is focused on MOH and is on 1/27
- How to use DATIM APIs - Instructions on how to initiate API calls for data exchange with DATIM. Including establishing connection to DATIM (Vlad S.) - Link to API document above
- Insturctions on using the UI are availible through the DHIS2 user guide along with two documents on ZenDesk - all linked in the document above
- The document linked above focuses on data import through the use of the API
- cURL code is already availible on Unix systems, such as Macs. It is easily downloadable for Windows
- Vilma - this is a helpful document. Has a question on the cURL code, all this information is included in the developer manual.
- Vilma - Vlad mentioned that DATIM is not ready to recieve ADX messages at the moment, is there a timeframe on this? - the import is in testing, DHIS 2.22 includes ADX import capability. The current version of DATIM is already ready to exchange SIMS data via ADX, import of MER data with ADX is still in the work.
- The cURL code uses HTTPS and the password is only entered on the client side so no one else will see it even though it's entered directly
- Vilma - is cURL the only option that can be used to call the API? Vlad - no, there are other options, cURL is widely used option presented as an example.
- Both the code and the UID are equally important for communication.
- In terms of mapping, the work as to be done long before data import is started. There is a naming convention for how the codes are written in the code list - this can be used to automate some of the mapping.
