OIS supports exporting of various data elements from within Oracle.

Some of these export methods require write permissions simply because the size of the exports may easily exceed the PHP memory limits. To disable this feature set the define to an empty string to disable, else fill out the complete path where we can write our datafiles to (WITHOUT trailing slash!). Please note that this directory MUST have write permissions for the Webserver user, else you will get an error message when starting OIS.
