At the distribution site, we use your product CommCare to fill the
distribution form which contains the information of what items have been
distributed. In order to reduce human error, we are trying to create a drop
down menu for the users to select from instead of typing in. I found that
CommCare can setup a question with filtered choices and can update the look
up table manually.
Lookup Tables - CommCare Public - CommCare Public I wonder
if there is a way that CommCare can talk to our SQL database and update its
lookup table automatically? Or is this some API you are considering to
build in the future? I found CommCare has data forwarding/exporting
features but not much importing APIs except excel spreadsheet upload.
Hello,
I believe the excel spreadsheet upload
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Bulk+upload+Lookup+Tables
is
the only API we have that allows you to modify lookup tables. In order to
communicate with your SQL database you'd probably need to write some
middleware of your own to perform the data pull and conversion from SQL to
Excel format.
Cheers,
Will

Do we need a paid commcare account for this excel upload function? Is there
a interface instead of command line?

And
no, I'm not aware of any interface besides the command line for using this
functionality.

Hi,
If you are on the standard plan, you can bulk upload lookup tables using
the interface as described here
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Creating+and+Updating+Lookup+Tables.
Hope that helps,
Farid

That error ('failed creating formpost data') looks like an issue with cURL
creating the payload rather than with CommCareHQ. I've never seen this
issue before - is the path correct and do you have proper permissions to
access that file?

Hi Will:
Thank you so much for your help. bulk upload
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Bulk+upload+Lookup+Tables is
exactly what I'm looking for. I wonder if I need to deploy every time I
update the lookup table? Or it will be updated automatically on the device?
If not, is there a command line for deploy?
Best,
Dawei
