Need demo data for OpenMRS Platform 2.6.11

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of understanding the features of the latest OpenMRS Platform 2.6.11 which I got installed in MAC using the OpenMRS SDK. As I am not aware of the flows to test, I was planning to try out with the demo data available in the following link: https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/docs/pages/26273323/Demo+Data

I am using MySQL DB V9.0.1 and was trying out to use the latest demo data (large-demo-data-2-2-1.sql.gz).

Behavior of demo data with Platform V2.6.11

  • The demo data gets installed in DB successfully.
  • After the DB update, the UI doesn’t seem to work well due to the schema differences between the demo data and the 2.6.11 platform’s schema.

So, I tried utilizing the demo data with Platform V2.2.x.

Behavior of demo data with Platform V2.2.x

  • Code: openmrs-core (Branch: 2.2.x)
  • OpenMRS Platform 2.2.x requires MySQL 5.7 which is not installable in MAC (as it has reached EndOfLife in Oct2023).
  • Code gets compiled (mvn clean package)
  • When trying to run after compilation:
    • Starting Jetty Server (mvn jetty:run)
    • Visit http://localhost:8080/openmrs/initialsetup in browser; during which the following error occurs (after which we are not able to proceed): Unable to create the database. The password might be incorrect or the database is not started. ???Error executing sql: create database if not exists ? default character set utf8 - Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.???

Can somebody please help me out to utilize the demo data (large-demo-data-2-2-1.sql.gz) with OpenMRS Platform 2.6.11(or) point me to the demo data that works well with OpenMRS Platform 2.6.11?

Thanks in advance.

@wikumc can you update our platform release process page such that we add to the demo data page a version for the platform to be released?
