Overriding Configuration

Any Bahmni configuration can be overridden by creating a separate override file. That way, an implementation with multiple entities can have a standard master configuration and each entity will have the freedom to override specific parts

Example

Let us take an example config file:

{
        "id": "bahmni.clinical",
        "extensionPoints": [
            {
                "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.consultation.board",
                "description": "Bahmni Clinical Consultation Page"
            },
            {
                "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.conceptSetGroup.*",
                "description": "Define conceptsets part of a conceptset group"
            },
            {
                "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.orders",
                "description": "Bahmni Orders Page"
            },
            {
                "id":"org.bahmni.patient.search",
                "description": "Bahmni Patient search, lookups Page"
            }
        ],
}

To override this config file with another file, do the following two things

1. Add the flag "shouldOverRideConfig: true" as shown below

   /var/www/bahmni_config/openmrs/apps/clinical/app.json

   {
           "id": "bahmni.clinical",
   		"shouldOverRideConfig": true,
           "extensionPoints": [
               {
                   "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.consultation.board",
                   "description": "Bahmni Clinical Consultation Page"
               },
               {
                   "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.conceptSetGroup.*",
                   "description": "Define conceptsets part of a conceptset group"
               },
               {
                   "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.orders",
                   "description": "Bahmni Orders Page"
               },
               {
                   "id":"org.bahmni.patient.search",
                   "description": "Bahmni Patient search, lookups Page"
               }
           ],
   }

2. Create a new file openmrs/apps/clinical/app.json in the folder /var/www/implementation_config as shown below

   /var/www/implementation_config/openmrs/apps/clinical/app.json

   {
           "id": "bahmni.clinical",
           "extensionPoints": [
               {
                   "id": "org.bahmni.clinical.consultation.board",
                   "description": "Bahmni Clinical Consultation Page"
               }
           ],
   }

   
   The above file will override the section "extensionPoints" in the the app.json file with the contents of the app.json file.

3. Make sure to have an alias for implementation_config is added to "ssl.conf" under /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. Ideally this will be coming from bahmni installer itself. If not, add a new line with "Alias /implementation_config /var/www/implementation_config" where all the aliases are added.

Different types of overrides

sections: {
  "observations" : {
    "name" : "Observations",
    "showDefault":true
  },
  "disposition":{
   "name": "disposition"
   }
}

sections: {
  "observations" : {
    "showDefault":false
  }
}

sections: {
  "observations" : {
    "name" : "Observations",
    "showDefault":true
  },
  "disposition":{
   "name": "disposition"
   }
}

sections: {
  "observations" : {
    "showDefault":false
  },
  "disposition": null	
}
