Remarks

The IExportdataSchema interface provides methods to export schema and schema differences from replicas. 

Rule: If a replica can receive data changes, then it can also apply schema changes. Replica schema can only be exported from a replica that can synchronize it's changes with it's relative replica.

Consider the statements above when reviewing the following:

Check-out Replicas: A check-out child replica can export replica schema but cannot apply schema changes.  A check-out parent replica can apply schema changes but cannot export replica schema.

One way Replicas: A one way replica child cannot export replica schema but can apply schema changes.  A one way replica parent can export replica schema but cannot apply schema changes

Two way Replicas: Both parent and child replicas can export replica schema and apply schema changes.

See the ReplicaSchemaImporter for information on applying schema changes.
