Thanks! If we have a utility script that splits up such a file, I am happy. >From the PoV of the programmers of the inventory systems we interop with, the simplest thing is to export a single file. That is what I want to ask from inventory backends. A single file simplifies little corner cases like "what when a school disappears / stops having XOs ?" (empty file? file removal?). There are number of such corner cases, and by putting them clearly on our side of the interoperability we make them our problem, and we can work to make sure we handle them correctly. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
