GSoC 2021: Export & import feature for the OMRS Reporting module

Abstract

If we have this functionality, then we will be able to export OMRS period indicator reports; which make the DHIS2 integration much easier by avoiding work duplication on metadata mappings. (This is needed to create reference implementations: To create and connect the reporting definitions)
