Hello there, As per the decision of the COVID-19 Squad to make the DHIS2 connector module functioning again, I’ve identified some issues with the core functionalities and fixed them with the following PR: [/openmrs-module-dhisconnector/#1](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dhisconnector/pull/1) @k.joseph Could you please review and merge it? Meanwhile, we created a new Jira project for this module, [https://issues.openmrs.org/projects/DCM/summary](https://issues.openmrs.org/projects/DCM/summary) Please **Feel free to contribute** ideas and PRs! 😍 🤗 cc: @grace @ibacher @dkayiwa ---

I had raised a question on which DHIS2 connector to focus on, whether to keep pushing this one or build upon the Jembi one which has actual production usage but did not hear back @grace What was the final decision on that? ---

@ssmusoke This is referring to the the module that Jembi used to use. Note that, as far as we’ve been able to determine, Jembi no longer uses it, so it’s a bit rusty, but @jayasanka is doing great work to get it into shape. ---

So now the official position is to use the OpenMRS DHIS2 connector not the Jembi one ---

@ssmusoke They are identical. Jembi initially developed it, but then migrated the module to the OpenMRS repo. [Latest commit to Jembi](https://github.com/jembi/openmrs-module-dhisconnector/commit/f0f0af7541038067246993f09d72f7629365213e); [latest commit to OpenMRS](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dhisconnector/commit/f0f0af7541038067246993f09d72f7629365213e). We’re simply doing development under the OpenMRS repository because it’s easier permission-wise. ---
