For Your Implementation Team

Phase 1: Understanding the System (30 minutes)

1. Read: QUICK_REFERENCE.md (5 min)
2. Run: python -m dss.export_import.examples (5 min)
3. Read: PRODUCTION_HARDENING_SUMMARY.md (10 min)
4. Skim: PRODUCTION_READINESS.md (10 min)

Result: You'll understand what the system does, how to use it, and what production considerations exist.

Phase 2: API Integration Planning (1 hour)

1. Review: dss/export_import/service.py
   - Read DSSProjectService docstring and method signatures
   - Understand return types: ExportSummary, ImportSummary, MergeSummary

2. Review: dss/export_import/security.py
   - Understand what each security class does
   - Note configuration options

3. Plan: Where to integrate
   - API endpoints for export/import?
   - Background job handler (Celery/RQ)?
   - CLI commands?
   - Web UI buttons?

Deliverable: Integration plan document with:

• List of API endpoints needed
• Error handling strategy
• Background job approach
• Monitoring/alerting plan

Phase 3: API Development (2-4 hours)

Follow the code examples below for your framework.

Phase 4: Testing (1-2 hours)

1. Run examples with real project data
2. Test error scenarios
3. Load test with large projects
4. Test background job handling

Phase 5: Deployment (30 minutes)

Follow production checklist in PRODUCTION_READINESS.md.

Monitoring & Observability

Testing Strategy

Troubleshooting Guide

Import Fails with "Archive validation failed"

# Debug:
from dss.export_import import DSSArchiveImporter

importer = DSSArchiveImporter(archive_path)
analysis = importer.analyze()

for error in analysis.errors:
    print(f"[{error.stage}] {error.message}")
    print(f"Details: {error.details}")

Memory limit exceeded on large archive

# Solution 1: Increase limits
from dss.export_import.security import MemoryLimitManager

memory_mgr = MemoryLimitManager(
    max_file_size=500_000_000,  # 500MB
    max_tokens=50000
)

# Solution 2: Use background job
result = service.import_project(archive, background=True)
if result.requires_background_job:
    task_id = celery.send_task('import_project', args=[archive])

Clock skew warnings during merge

# These are informational - system is working correctly
# Warnings indicate clocks are >1 hour apart between systems

# To silence: Sync system clocks
# Or: Increase tolerance in TimestampConflictResolver
from dss.export_import.security import TimestampConflictResolver
from datetime import timedelta

resolver = TimestampConflictResolver(
    clock_skew_tolerance=timedelta(hours=2)
)
