The original version of the eSaude EMR Platform was built on top of OpenMRS v1.9.2. Since the OpenMRS community only supports the last three major releases of it’s platform, version v1.9.x has now reached it’s end of life. See the official announcement here.
Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade to a supported version of the OpenMRS platform. Although v1.12.0 is the latest release, the eSaude community is opting to stick to the better tested 1.11.x branch, and we will therefore upgrade to v1.11.6.
In v0.7.6 of the Reporting Module(specificallythis commit), a foreign key was added to the reporting_report_design table to the serialized_object table, which referenced the uuidin the serialized_object table.
Problem
When liquibase changeset 20160202-1743 is being execute during the v1.11.5 platform upgrade, an error is being thrown at this line:
Error executing SQL altertable reporting_report_design modify report_definition_uuid char(38) notnull: Cannot changecolumn'report_definition_uuid': used in a foreignkeyconstraint'reporting_report_design_ibfk_3'
I think the issue is that from v0.7.7, a clean install of the reporting module never referenced serialized_object by uuid, so all future versions of the reporting module assumed the foreign key was correct, but no changeset explicitly fixed the key as created in a v0.7.6 install.
⚠️ It is still unclear how the key got the name reporting_report_design_ibfk_3, since both the sqldiff and liquibase files always give keys explicit, descriptive names. Further, every version of our clean database has the correctly named keys. ⚠️
Solution(WIP)
For now it is safe to remove the offending foreign key as follows:
