Agenda SDK Dialog: Universal Replicator
What we would like to discuss is whether the concept of the replicator can be used universally???

Since we never know which app or feature we want to implement and we always need data from other apps or foreign database tables to build apps with extended functionality without reinventing the wheel, a universal replicator would make sense.
For example, we would like to access the reporting database (we are not the only ones), or licenses (at least read them). A master replicator could answer several of these requests for internal "data exchange".

Is this achievable?

Re: Agenda SDK Dialog: Universal Replicator
I think it is not as universal achievable as you describe it. Not in a sense, just to replicate the complete database from one App to another. I think this would create a lot of compatibility issues. It may work nice initially, but if you then change the implementation, you may have the problem.

What we have as part of the SDK is a publisher and a replicator, which may be used quite universally. With the publish you can export database tables and with the replicator import them. But it is not used very much yet and therefore not well tested and documented.
