Lost some data on Aggregate server - how to get it again from the phones?

Support
1

Hello all. We have successfully deployed ODK to 16 countries now and
couldn't be happier with how simple and reliable the system has been.
Today we had an issue where a database error occured and forced us to
restore our database from a backup, losing data submitted during
approximately 12 hours. We know the phones which have send the data and
those phones that submitted the data will still have that data on the sd
card, so, I wanted to see what the best and easiest method is to get that
missing data off the phones and to the server.

Thanks!!

Alex

Hooking the phones up to a PC and using Briefcase to upload the
submissions from the phone to Aggregate could work. However, I am not
sure if you can specify which ones to upload as you don't want to
upload all submissions again I am guessing.

Mitch do you have an idea?

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, that is the process I did in the past and it
worked fine. It is a little rough on the field teams but it gets the job
done.

Thanks again!

Waylon that is an excellent idea....as it is one that me and my team had to
revert to getting the data off the phone to the server in Guyana, South
America...However, Alex this is a time consuming procedure, but if you can
open the kml/xml file on the computer you will then have an idea which file
need uploading to the server and which do not...again, it is a very time
consuming procedure...

best of luck

As long as your forms have an OpenRosa InstanceID (
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaMetaDataSchema ), and
if you have the bandwidth to the server available, your field teams can
just resubmit all forms from the time of the crash to the present. The
Aggregate server will do the de-duplication work itself -- ensuring that
only a single copy of any one submission is recorded on the server.

Or, rather, from the time before the start of the restore image....

Can they resubmit from the phones or does it require briefcase?

Oops. Sorry. ODK Collect doesn't allow you to choose previously-sent forms.

Created a feature request: *
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=570

··· * Star that request to vote for it. I'll see what I can do for ODK Collect 1.2.

Thanks, Mitch! Still being able to resend with briefcase and have the
Aggregate parser identify the dups is a great feature!

Alex,

Another (potentially more difficult) option is to edit the on-phone
database to change the instance status to complete (and thus not
submitted). See
https://groups.google.com/group/opendatakit/browse_thread/thread/5b1c638ac5722d4a
for more.

Here is what I ended up doing and I think it was a pretty good solution.

··· * *Based on Mitch's comment about the Aggregate server identifying the dups, I took the odk directory from all the phones and put them on a new phone. When I opened ODK Collect the Send Finalized Forms showed all the data again as new. I was then able to re-send all the data to the server. It appears that it worked.

*Based on Mitch's comment about the Aggregate server identifying the
dups, I took the odk directory from all the phones and put them on a new
phone. When I opened ODK Collect the Send Finalized Forms showed all the
data again as new. I was then able to re-send all the data to the server.
It appears that it worked.

Alex,

Another (potentially more difficult) option is to edit the on-phone
database to change the instance status to complete (and thus not
submitted). See

for more.

Thanks to the team for all the hard work.

Oops. Sorry. ODK Collect doesn't allow you to choose previously-sent

Created a feature request:

Star that request to vote for it. I'll see what I can do for ODK
Collect
1.2.

As long as your forms have an OpenRosa InstanceID (
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaMetaDataSchema), and
if you have the bandwidth to the server available, your field teams
can just
resubmit all forms from the time of the crash to the present. The
Aggregate
server will do the de-duplication work itself -- ensuring that only
a single
copy of any one submission is recorded on the server.

Hooking the phones up to a PC and using Briefcase to upload the

not
sure if you can specify which ones to upload as you don't want to
upload all submissions again I am guessing.

Mitch do you have an idea?

Hello all. We have successfully deployed ODK to 16 countries now

couldn't be happier with how simple and reliable the system has
been.
Today
we had an issue where a database error occured and forced us to
restore our
database from a backup, losing data submitted during
approximately 12
hours.
We know the phones which have send the data and those phones that
submitted
the data will still have that data on the sd card, so, I wanted
to see
what
the best and easiest method is to get that missing data off the
phones
and
to the server.

Thanks!!

Mitch,
This made me concerned and upon further inspection, you are right, it
actually didn't work. The whole process looked like it was working as I
described, however, no data was added to the server. I used briefcase to
upload the data and that worked as expected.

Thanks again,
Alex
