General description
DHIS 1.4 shall be replaced by 2.0 in a stepwise manner by allowing for new DHIS 2.0 modules to work together with 1.4. This is first of all possible for the more peripheral modules such as additional data entry modules and report and analysis modules.
To make this process smooth and to avoid extra coding for 2.0 modules in order to support 1.4, the idea is to use the same interfaces for routine data, semi permanent data and survey data for both the 2.0 and 1.4 databases. The "bridge" is then an additional implementation of the data store interface (part of DHIS 2.0 core module) that is compatible with the 1.4 database. In this way the additional code is limited to only one place, in this bridge, and the 2.0 modules do not have to be aware of the existence of two different databases.
Environment
This module is to be used whenever there is need for running 2.0 modules together with DHIS 1.4. This module will be additional code added to the Core module. The local technical teams can easily configure Spring Framework to use this implementation of the data store in stead of the 2.0 implementation so that the 2.0 modules work directly on the 1.4 database.
Compatibility with other DHIS modules
This module is part of the Core module and compatible with all other modules.
Requirements list
- Implement the data store interface
- Be 100% compatible with the 1.4 database model
- Connect and work against to the 1.4 database (MS Access)
- When needed negotiate modifications to the data store interface with the developers of the Core module
- Detailed and improved requirements specification
