Feed


The feed for concept reference terms could be found at http://host_name_for_tr/openmrs/ws/atomfeed/conceptreferenceterm/recent. A detailed description of atom feed for the TR server could be found here. Once the atom feed client finds a new entry on the feed, it should fetch the concept reference term from the server to take appropriate action. The URL to fetch the concept reference term is published inside the content section of the feed entry. The URL does not contain host information and the client has to pre-pend the hostname for the TR server to fetch the data.

Structure of the data

The URL for fetching the concept reference term published through the Atom Feed is /openmrs/ws/rest/v1/conceptreferenceterm/a580061a-2e3b-4936-b232-cb5c2ec308fd?v=custom:(uuid,name,conceptSource,description,code,version,retired,conceptReferenceTermMaps). Using this URL, a concept reference term could be fetched from the TR server.

It is important to note that each reference term data is self contained, ie, related entities like concept source are embedded into the document. It is the responsibility of the client to check whether the concept source already exists in the local database and refer to it if it exists rather than creating a new entry.  Also the same data is returned when the concept reference term is being fetched because it was edited on the server. It is the responsibilty of the client to merge the new data with the existing concept reference term data in the local database.
