# Data Exchange

## The Data Exchange Procedure

| The following steps form the Data Exchange module (EER) data replication procedure: The user selects records to be included into the data exchange process at the originating site. The module determines the related data objects for the selected items or projects and compiles the export package. The contents of the corresponding EER "Send To" mask fields is added automatically. The status of the header record is set to W (wait for replication). The replication process is initiated. The status of all exported records is set to S ("sent") for the time of the export process. The data import is initiated at the recipient site. All files are checked into the local vault with the FileServer.
