Thomas, Jeremy, thanks for your replies. I think I understand the planned approach now. Actually I thought it might be easier to exchange the database access module in SIS, such that it simply talks to ODA. This would help keep data in a single place and avoid problems when somebody does things manually by invoking SIS commands. Keeping SIS data in two places would require sync mechanisms in both directions, from sis to oda and vice-versa. I'll have a look into this, now that I know it's not a waste of time ;-)
