Abstract
Use of an import cache and/or an export directory with an agent within to respond to requests for data. The import cache stores data that has been imported through the agent. The export directory stores information related to data that has been exported through the agent. Because the import cache and the export directory only store data that has passed through the agent, not all data transferred within a system are tracked by a single import cache or export directory.
