DHIS2Install

Summary

Posts a data value set payload to DHIS2's /api/dataValueSets.json endpoint to import aggregate data values, once per input item.

Inputs

• dataValues (required) — JSON payload for the data value set (the UI says it must include dataSet, period, orgUnit, and a dataValues array). Accepts a JSON string or an object (e.g. from an expression). It is parsed and sent unchanged as the POST body.

Output shape

For each input item, the node POSTs once. If the DHIS2 response contains a top-level dataValues array, each element becomes its own output item. Otherwise the whole response, such as the import summary with status and counts, is returned as a single item.

Authenticates with the dhis2Api credential, using its baseUrl. Invalid JSON or an HTTP error throws a NodeApiError. With Continue On Fail enabled, an item with an error message is returned instead. The node does not validate the payload fields itself, and no query parameters such as dryRun or importStrategy are sent.

Examples

Example 1: Submit monthly facility report values to a data set

Data Values (JSON): {"dataSet":"DS_UID","period":"202501","orgUnit":"OU_UID","dataValues":[{"dataElement":"DE_UID","value":"42"}]}

Example 2: Push values built by an earlier node

Data Values (JSON) set to the expression {{ $json.payload }}, so each incoming item is pushed as its own data value set.
