In the standardized integration between a CMMS product and an AssetWise product, the CMMS is the system of record. Therefore the CMMS publishes several types of information using the Sync pattern.
In the standard integration, the CMMS is the source of:
When any of these objects are created or modified, a message called a BOD describing the new values should be published by the CMMS adapter to the service bus.
There are also supplemental BODs defined for the supporting objects of a system, such as Value Lists, Employees, etc. Please refer to the AWEIS Setup Guide 1.2 for further details regarding these BODs.

In a typical integration between systems, the best practice is to define a single master - the system of record - for any given piece of data. The system retains ownership of the data and is the “single source of truth”. Changes are only allowed in the master, and the object synchronization pattern replicates the changes to other systems that require that data.
MIMOSA/OAGIS uses the “Sync” verb on these types of documents. The master system publishes a Sync BOD to the topic on the service bus whenever an object is created, modified or deleted, and each system receives a copy of the message to replicate the change in their databases.
In this pattern, there is generally only one publisher (master system) with one or more subscribers.
