Is there usually a lag between EMILPO and EDAS?

Example: Flag was removed last Friday and as of today it's still showing at the HRC side of the house as being on EDAS but not EMILPO. S1 said they it's been lifted so I'm just curious if it's just a waiting game for HRC to see the same thing and if so for how long?

Thank you!

It's called a cap cycle. You can't have one database update all the other databases in the dod when you make a change. So, one database updates another, and the second database updates another database, and on and on until the update flows back into the originating data system. That is called a caps cycle. Depending on which database the change was made in, and which you're waiting to see updated, it is usually three to five days. I think it takes one week for a full cap cycle right now.
