automate the process of exporting and importing data values between orgunits that are somehow networked, but not in the same database
examples of use:
1. a user defined (source orgunit, datasets, period/interval) export file can be scheduled for a fixed date every day/week/month/quarter/year
2. functionality to connect to other databases in the "level below" and look for new exports (that are not yet imported)
3. a "listener functionality" that listens on the network for incoming imports
4. provide the users with some options for how to accept and install updates
automate the process of synchronising databases through updates covering metadata
1. a "listener functionality" that listens on the network for incoming updates
2. provide the users with some options for how to accept and install updates
3. Functionality to create and send update files to all connected databases at lower levels in the orgunit hierarchy
