</div>Thanks! If we have a utility script that splits up such a file, I am happy.<br>

with, the simplest thing is to export a single file. That is what I<br>
want to ask from inventory backends.<br>
<br>
A single file simplifies little corner cases like "what when a school<br>
disappears / stops having XOs ?" (empty file? file removal?).<br>
<br>
There are number of such corner cases, and by putting them clearly on<br>
our side of the interoperability we make them our problem, and we can<br>
work to make sure we handle them correctly.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
