Export design:

WHICH RECORDS TO SEND?

The most powerful mechanism is not to have a sending queue (which would then require careful multi-instance locking), but to have a “sent” log. That way:

  • A record needs sending if it’s not in the sent log (for an appropriate recipient).

  • You can add a new recipient and the system will know about the (new) backlog automatically.

  • You can specify criteria, e.g. don’t upload records before 1/1/2014, and modify that later, and it would catch up with the backlog.

  • Successes and failures are logged in the same table.

  • Multiple recipients are handled with ease.

  • No need to alter database.pl code that receives from tablets.

  • Can run with a simple cron job.

a BasicTaskCollectionExporter

Raises

HTTPBadRequest –

camcops_server.cc_modules.cc_export.print_export_queue(req: CamcopsRequest, recipient_names: List[str] = None, all_recipients: bool = False, via_index: bool = True, pretty: bool = False, debug_show_fhir: bool = False, debug_fhir_include_docs: bool = False) → None[source]

Shows tasks that would be exported.

  • Called from the command line.

Parameters

  • req – a camcops_server.cc_modules.cc_request.CamcopsRequest

  • recipient_names – list of export recipient names (as per the config file)

  • all_recipients – use all recipients?

  • via_index – use the task index (faster)?

  • pretty – use str(task) not repr(task) (prettier, but slower because it has to query the patient)

  • debug_show_fhir – Show FHIR output for each task, as JSON?

  • debug_fhir_include_docs – (If debug_show_fhir.) Include document content? Large!

camcops_server.cc_modules.cc_export.write_information_schema_to_dst(req: CamcopsRequest, dst_session: sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session, dest_table_name: str = '_camcops_information_schema_columns') → None[source]

Writes the server’s information schema to a separate database session (which will be an SQLite database being created for download).

There must be no open transactions (i.e. please COMMIT before you call this function), since we need to create a table.
