IMS Repository support for automatic export

Automatic export to a repository is not supported. We are requesting that IMS Repository provides automatic export capability currently available with DRD. We are dependent on the automatic export function at system checkpoint to trigger export for changes made via type-1 or type-2 commands. Eliminating automatic export capability places burden on operator or user automation to ensure export function is performed. Placing export responsibility on operator or user automation will increase the chance of export not being performed, resulting in loss of dynamic changes.

    We are interested in this RFE too because we're using today DRD and we think that missing this function in repository is similar to a regression compared to DRD.
