cases upload

[yashseth]

Hi 

In our case , the field staff should have all the cases pre-created and just need to update them so I wanted to bulk upload cases using the submission API.

Is this possible ? 

Currently Im posting an xml file which returns the message Thanks for submitting, but I do not get the cases I uploaded when I retrieve them.

What is the format of the file to be uploaded ? I'm attaching the sample upload file

Hi Yash,

I would recommend creating a form (using CommCareHQ) that creates the case that you need.  You can then submit and look at the form submission to figure out the XML format that you need to submit to create the case.

You can also review this:

Thanks,

Sheel

Hi Sheel,

I tried this approach and successfully uploaded cases to our domain. The problem is that at the time of bulk upload, it is working for upto 10 cases in 1 file, but not more than that. Is there any such restriction on the number of cases you can create at one go.

The error that I get is that the xml regular expression is too complex.

Thanks

Hi Yasheth,

If you could email the xml file that causes that error to commcareh...@dimagi.com we can take a look at it.

thanks,

cory

Hi Cory,

I'm attaching the file with 20 cases which is failing. A similar one with 5, 10, 11 cases is working.
