OpenMRS Initializer module

Introduction

The Initializer module is an API-only module that processes the content of the configuration folder when it is found inside OpenMRS' application data directory:

.
├── modules/
├── openmrs.war
├── openmrs-runtime.properties
├── ...
└── configuration/

The configuration folder is subdivided into domain subfolders:

configuration/
  ├── addresshierarchy/
  ├── ampathforms/
  ├── appointmentspecialities/
  ├── appointmentservicedefinitions/
  ├── appointmentservicetypes/
  ├── attributetypes/
  ├── autogenerationoptions/
  ├── bahmniforms/
  ├── conceptclasses/
  ├── conceptsources/
  ├── concepts/
  ├── conceptsets/
  ├── datafiltermappings/
  ├── drugs/
  ├── encountertypes/
  ├── globalproperties/
  ├── htmlforms/
  ├── idgen/
  ├── jsonkeyvalues/
  ├── liquibase/
  ├── locations/
  ├── locationtagmaps/
  ├── locationtags/
  ├── messageproperties/
  ├── metadatasetmembers/ 
  ├── metadatasets/ 
  ├── metadatasharing/ 
  ├── metadatatermmappings/
  ├── ocl/
  ├── orderfrequencies/
  ├── ordertypes/
  ├── patientidentifiertypes/ 
  ├── personattributetypes/ 
  ├── privileges/ 
  ├── programs/ 
  ├── programworkflows/
  ├── programworkflowstates/
  ├── providerroles/ 
  ├── relationshiptypes/
  └── roles/

Each domain-specific subfolder contains OpenMRS metadata configuration files that pertains to the domain.

Objectives

This module loads an OpenMRS configuration consisting of OpenMRS metadata.
CSV files are the preferred format, however a number of metadata domains rely on other file formats. See the list below for details.
Initializer processes all configuration files upon starting up.
Initializer produces a checksum file for each processed configuration file. A file will never be processed again until its checksum has changed.
- See more info here about checksums.
Each line of those CSV files represents an OpenMRS metadata entity to be created, edited or retired.
Each line of those CSV files follows the WYSIWYG principle.

Supported domains and default loading order

We suggest to go through the following before looking at the specifics for each supported domain:

How to try it out?

Build the master branch and install the built OMOD to your OpenMRS instance:

git clone https://github.com/mekomsolutions/openmrs-module-initializer/tree/master

Releases notes

Version 2.4.0

Version 2.3.0

Added configuration options for logging.
Added support for OpenMRS 2.4.0+
Added support for a 'liquibase' domain to support loading custom changesets.
'ocl' domain to support loading concepts, concept sets and answers from OCL export files in configuration/ocl.
(Enhancement) Concept name UUIDs are seeded from 1) the concept UUID and 2) the concept name information, see here. This version runs a Liquibase changeset that forces a reload of the concept domain in order to update concept names accordingly.
Backward-compatible overhaul of the concepts domain that provides full flexibility for managing concept names.
Bulk loading of metadata entities i18n display messages specified under display:xy headers.
(For devs.) Introduced a pre-loading mechanism to BaseFileLoader that allows checksums-independent loading of transient information out of the config files before the actual metadata are loaded. Each loader controls whether its pre-loader throws on error or is allowed to fail. By default pre-loaders are allowed to fail.
Added support for setting the version property in the 'concepts' domain.
Bulk creation and editing of concept set members and concept answers using CSV files in configuration/conceptsets.
Added support enabling any Initializer runtime property value to also be specified from a system property.
Bulk creation and edition of AMPATH forms provided as JSON schema definitions in configuration/ampathforms.
Enhancement to Initializer's custom message source to support improved handling of fallback locales and overrides between messages properties file from core, modules, and Initializer 'messageproperties' domain files.
Added support for remote sources and identifier pools to the 'idgen' domain.
Enhancement to ensure predictable loading order of files within a domain if no explicit order is specified, based on alphabetical ordering of filenames.
Enhancement to the 'messageproperties' domain to enable specifying the order in which two files in the same locale should be loaded.

Version 2.2.0

'attributetypes' domain to support Bahmni program attribute types.
'program' domain to support Name and Description headers.
CSV parsers to actually fill new objects marked to be retired or voided before creating them as retired/voided entities.
Added a runtime property to define the loading startup mode for the activator OpenMRS config loading process.
Existing attributes and location tags which are not specified in CSV headers are no longer removed.
Bulk creation and editing of concept sources provided as CSV files in configuration/conceptsources.
Bulk creation and editing of encounter roles using CSV files in configuration/encounterroles.
(For devs.) Domain directory names and loading orders are implied from the base Domain enum.
Bulk creation and editing of relationship types provided through CSV files in configuration/relationshiptypes.
Bulk creation and editing of provider roles using CSV files in configuration/providerroles.
Bulk creation and editing of location tag maps using CSV files in configuration/locationtagmaps.

Version 2.1.0

(Bug fix) Locations with invalid parent references to throw an IllegalArgumentException.
(For devs.) Introduced CsvFailingLines for a better management of the outcome of CsvParser#process.
Introduced safe and unsafe API modes to suit either app runtime loading or early failure loading for CI.
(For devs.) Introduced BaseFileLoader and BaseInputStreamLoader as part of a better streamlined loading framework.
Initialize Validator a standalone fatjar to make dry runs of OpenMRS configs.
Nested structures of configuration files are supported.
Added a runtime property to define an inclusion or exclusion list of domains.
Added a runtime property to specify wildcard patterns filters for each domain.
Added a runtime property to toggle off the generation of the checksums.
Improved logging output with ASCII Tables for Java.
Bulk creation and edition of ID Gen's autogeneration options provided through CSV files in configuration/autogenerationoptions.
Support associating location tags to locations using boolean Tag| headers.
Bulk creation and edition of location tags provided through CSV files in configuration/locationtags.

Bulk creation and edition of htmlforms provided as XML schema definitions in configuration/htmlforms.

Renaming domain: appointmentsspecialities → appointmentspecialities.

Bulk creation and edition of program workflows provided through CSV files in configuration/programworkflows.
