Procedure

Hey devs I have been able to achieve this thanks to @dkayiwa.
These are the few steps we went through I hope you follow keenly and be able to get unblocked.

1. Set up your two instances (I used the standalone)

2. load the atom feed and sync2 omod files compiled from source.

(Remember dkayiwa made a commit to these two modules so if you have the old ones you need to get the current with all commits)

3. Edit the child's "openmrs-standalone-runtime.properties" file so that it differs from the parent's.

eg the parent has "openmrs-standalone-runtime.properties" , i changed mine to openmrs-standalone-irene-runtime.properties

4. For the child instance, go to tomcat - webapps and edit the two files there to differentiate them from the parent's

eg I changed my two files to openmrs-standalone-irene  and  openmrs-standalone-irene.war

5. Edit child sync config json-file for example https://pastebin.com/Kc0MajhC
Take note of;

"parentFeedLocation" : "http://localhost:8081/openmrs-standalone",
"localFeedLocation" : "http://localhost:8082/openmrs-standalone-irene",
"localInstanceId" : "local2",

and the whitelist

"whitelist" : {
"enabled" : false,
"instanceIds" : [ ]

6. Edit Parent sync config json-file for example https://pastebin.com/K1cKm2MN

7. Register a patient in the parent instance

8. While in the child do a manual pull from parent and check if the patient has been pulled.

There after I was able to manually pull from parent to child and also manually push from child to parent.
