2007-07-06 Sync Conference Call
Two immediate PIH scenarios that must be addressed asap:
Lesotho
no patient overlap
form import only @ parent
Rwanda
What if we had a 'dumb' sync. It would have the following steps:
Please 'sync' - initialize sync
Figure out the last sync timestamp
Find all new/change records since last sync
Pkg the changeset
Child: Send to parent
parent: receive data from child
How do people feel about moving forward: consider these options:
a) no history at all
b) sync
c) do it all right from the start: history from get go, cleaning up the data model
Here is how people feel about it:
Christian: do c) to begin with; it will be in the end to do it faster
Darius: start now, and add history later – it will improve the code, should be possible but didn't prove it
Julie: can't see how we can do it without: we*will run into the conflicts and there will be no way of resolving them
Julie: can't see how we can do it without: we*will run into the conflicts and there will be no way of resolving them
Justin: in for c)
Anders: prefers c)
Maros: can be done in step-wise fashion do b) and work towards c) concurrently
How do we move forward?
Darius: it is up to us (Darius and Maros) to 'prove' to rest that it will work
Maros TODO: write down the details of the sync steps and present to groups Monday @ 3PM EST
