Proposing a sprint to help people upgrade to Platform 2.x (Mozambique tried to upgrade to Platform 2.x, but was blocked for various reasons)

[darius (Darius Jazayeri)]

Bringing in some additional information from a PM with @aramirez (who is also looking to upgrade to Platform 2.x now that Sync 2 will support this):

@aramirez

@Darius upon my test, I will have to go to a 2.0.X version as the cohort builder module doesn’t work, and I can’t get the cohort builder owa app working either.

Per this other thread, Daniel has done a fix for this, it just needs to be tested by some real user: Cohort builder error on openmrs 2.1.2. - #13 by dkayiwa (i.e. you’ll be able to go all the way to 2.1.

@aramirez

The modules I use are the following:

-Address Hierarchy -Custom Branding -ID Gen -Reporting Compatibility -Xforms

I would expect that Address Hierarchy and IDGen should work (because PIH has already tested these in preparation for their upgrade), and XForms should work (because it’s part of the reference application).

I don’t know about custombranding (I could imagine it getting broken when we pulled the UI into the legacyui module with platform 2.0), but if it’s working for you, great!

For reportingcompatibility, if you find any errors beyond the one discussed above about Cohort Builder, then please share.

@aramirez

I would also need the implementation Id option to be available as to keep track of who’s who on each server I create or implement.

Sorry that we dropped the ball when you pointed this bug out last year. I just asked you a question on docs and resources migration - #6 by darius (which will tell us what kind of fix is appropriate).

@aramirez

As the Java 8 and tomcat 7 migration was kind of tricky also. What is the current stable version of tomcat 7 used with 2.X?

I don’t know the answer to this, since as a developer I’m not using tomcat. I’m sure someone else can answer this though.
