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:

  1. Please 'sync' - initialize sync

  2. Figure out the last sync timestamp

  3. Find all new/change records since last sync

  4. Pkg the changeset

  5. Child: Send to parent

  6. 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
