The Initializer module is an API-only module that processes the content of the configuration folder when it is found inside OpenMRS' application data directory:
. ├── modules/ ├── openmrs.war ├── openmrs-runtime.properties ├── ... └── configuration/
The configuration folder is subdivided into domain subfolders:
configuration/
├── addresshierarchy/
├── ampathforms/
├── appointmentspecialities/
├── appointmentservicedefinitions/
├── appointmentservicetypes/
├── attributetypes/
├── autogenerationoptions/

Each domain-specific subfolder contains OpenMRS metadata configuration files that pertains to the domain.
- This module loads an OpenMRS configuration consisting of OpenMRS metadata.
- CSV files are the preferred format, however a number of metadata domains rely on other file formats. See the list below for details.
- Initializer processes all configuration files upon starting up.
- Initializer produces a checksum file for each processed configuration file. A file will never be processed again until its checksum has changed.
- See more info here about checksums.
- Each line of those CSV files represents an OpenMRS metadata entity to be created, edited or retired.
- Each line of those CSV files follows the WYSIWYG principle.
We suggest to go through the following before looking at the specifics for each supported domain:

- 'concepts' domain to support a new expandable
MAPPINGS
header, thereby discouraging the olderSame as mappings
. - Concept references expanded to allow use of concept names in locales other than the default system locale
- Added configuration options for logging.
- Added support for OpenMRS 2.4.0+
- Added support for a 'liquibase' domain to support loading custom changesets.
- 'ocl' domain to support loading concepts, concept sets and answers from OCL export files in configuration/ocl.
- (Enhancement) Concept name UUIDs are seeded from 1) the concept UUID and 2) the concept name information, see here. This version runs a Liquibase changeset that forces a reload of the concept domain in order to update concept names accordingly.
- Backward-compatible overhaul of the concepts domain that provides full flexibility for managing concept names.
- Bulk loading of metadata entities i18n display messages specified under
display:xy
headers. - (For devs.) Introduced a pre-loading mechanism to
BaseFileLoader
that allows checksums-independent loading of transient information out of the config files before the actual metadata are loaded. Each loader controls whether its pre-loader throws on error or is allowed to fail. By default pre-loaders are allowed to fail. - Added support for setting the version property in the 'concepts' domain.
- Bulk creation and editing of concept set members and concept answers using CSV files in configuration/conceptsets.
- Added support enabling any Initializer runtime property value to also be specified from a system property.
- Bulk creation and edition of AMPATH forms provided as JSON schema definitions in configuration/ampathforms.
- Enhancement to Initializer's custom message source to support improved handling of fallback locales and overrides between messages properties file from core, modules, and Initializer 'messageproperties' domain files.
- Added support for remote sources and identifier pools to the 'idgen' domain.
- Enhancement to ensure predictable loading order of files within a domain if no explicit order is specified, based on alphabetical ordering of filenames.
- Enhancement to the 'messageproperties' domain to enable specifying the order in which two files in the same locale should be loaded.
- 'attributetypes' domain to support Bahmni program attribute types.
- 'program' domain to support
Name
andDescription
headers. - CSV parsers to actually fill new objects marked to be retired or voided before creating them as retired/voided entities.
- Added a runtime property to define the loading startup mode for the activator OpenMRS config loading process.
- Existing attributes and location tags which are not specified in CSV headers are no longer removed.
- Bulk creation and editing of concept sources provided as CSV files in configuration/conceptsources.
- Bulk creation and editing of encounter roles using CSV files in configuration/encounterroles.

Domain
enum. - Bulk creation and editing of relationship types provided through CSV files in configuration/relationshiptypes.
- Bulk creation and editing of provider roles using CSV files in configuration/providerroles.

- (Bug fix) Locations with invalid parent references to throw an
IllegalArgumentException
. - (For devs.) Introduced
CsvFailingLines
for a better management of the outcome ofCsvParser#process
. - Introduced safe and unsafe API modes to suit either app runtime loading or early failure loading for CI.
- (For devs.) Introduced
BaseFileLoader
andBaseInputStreamLoader
as part of a better streamlined loading framework. - Initialize Validator a standalone fatjar to make dry runs of OpenMRS configs.
- Nested structures of configuration files are supported.
- Added a runtime property to define an inclusion or exclusion list of domains.
