Omegamon TEPS history navigation by recording interval

From the Omegamon TEPS we need the ability to quickly and easily navigate backward and forward in time by the recording interval. The existing calendar functionality is cumbersome to use and slow to respond. Ideally, we would like a "calendar back...

Enable migration of Situations between Omegamon instances without the use of the TEP
