A lot happens when you startup KenyaEMR so this page is an attempt to explain the details to help developers and admins debug any problems that might arise.

Info

The KenyaEMR module is not designed to be stopped and started independently of OpenMRS even though this possible using the regular OpenMRS admin UI

Loading

...

content

The CoreContext component class in KenyaCore is responsible for loading all EMR content. The KenyaCore module does not initiate this action itself. Rather it is left to KenyaEMR to fetch this component and call its refresh() method during its startup.

...

The existing content managers are as follows (listed in the order in which they are refreshed)

 
ManagerPriorityManagesOn refresh
RequirementManager0External requirementsChecks each requirement, throws UnsatisfiedRequirementException if one fails
MetadataManager10Metadata bundles Installs all registered bundles
LabManager20Lab test catalogs Loads all lab test catalogs
RegimenManager30RegimensRegimen definitionsLoads all regimen definitions from XML resource
IdentifierManager40Identifiers 
CalculationManager50Calculation classes and patient flags 
ProgramManager60Programs 
FormManager70Forms Saves form resources for XML content of all forms
ReportManager80Reports and their builders Builds and persists all report definitions
ChoreManager90Chores

Performs all chores not already performed

Performance

Startup time is dependent on the state and size of the database.

  • Metadata loading includes synchronization of all locations with a copy of the MFL. If locations in the database are up to date then no database updates are required so this will only take a few seconds. On a clean database, it will require the saving of ~9500 new locations which may take 1-2 minutes.
  • Chores are only one performed once, so none of these will be performed on a up to date database. 

Typical startup times for an up to date database are 30-50 seconds.
