DHIS2 integration notes

• Every DHIS2 implementation is unique! How we can integrate depends on the version and configuration, so continuous testing is important.
• Design for failure! Develop a strategy for uniquely identifying resources to be uploaded to DHIS2.
• DHIS2 API does not always support upserts, so we typically need to implement a custom upsert pattern for importing data to DHIS2. This involves 2 API calls, where we first search for the resource in DHIS2, and then create or update the resource accordingly. Learn more here.
