Overview

Welcome to the Google Earth Engine App (GEE App) user manual

If you are working with climate data within a DHIS2 system, you have probably been in the situation of needing to include external climate information inside agregate datasets in DHIS2.

DHIS2 GEE Apps are a couple of DHIS2 apps aiming to automatically retrieve any information available inside Google Earth Engine datasets.

This tool will save you a lot of time and effort transfering GEE data and adapting it to your DHIS2 configuration.

GEE apps can:

  • Download directly from GEE datasets any information
  • Map the dataset to internal data elements
  • Apply transformations on-the-fly
  • Download a json file with the data, to be imported later

Through this guide you will learn how to install and use it in your processes.

First, a quick overview of this guide:

  • Google Earth Egine key installation you will learn how to prepare your DHIS2 instance to connect to GEE

  • Mapping is a great feature that allows you define where inside DHIS2 the remote data will be placed.

  • The data download chapter is a comprehensive guide to learn how to execute a manual GEE data download.

  • Finally the rules section explains how to store download configurations in rules that can be later executed.

  • History is about keeping track of the synching operations you have made.

  • Simple App Interface explains how to configure the environment for end-users to perform data downloads, and how to define their global datasets in an OU basis.

    The typical setup and use workflow with GEE App involves these steps, and requieres different roles: Sysadmin, DHIS admin, GEE configurator and GEE run-only user
