Individual Connectors and Asset Types
Master connectors group individual connectors. Individual connectors in each master connector correspond to particular asset types or categories. System administrators can determine which asset types to transfer, since they can enable or disable specific connectors in the master connector group. Individual connectors also enable administrators to add connectors, or to customize existing connectors to meet current data exchange requirements.
SMS_BackgroundData_from_BUILDER transfers asset categories from BUILDER™ SMS to Archibus. For all data exchanges, UNIFORMAT II categories in BUILDER™ SMS serve to classify assets on both platforms.
Outbound and Background Data Master Connectors
Before you run the outbound master connector, SMS_Archibus_to_Builder_Assets, for the first time, run SMS_BackgroundData_from_BUILDER to retrieve background data from BUILDER™ SMS. Background data includes asset classifications, construction types, building uses, and campus locations. For routine transfers after the initial export, the outbound master connector updates background data in Archibus before it exports asset data to BUILDER™ SMS.
