Need a way to synch domains between Maximo and GIS system

We have bi-directional integration between Maximo and GIS system and are looking to upgrade to utilize the Spatial Synchronizing tool, however there are many times were the domains between the two systems can get out of synch and we'd like for the system to automatically synch select domains used for items like Asset Specifications.

    Hi,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Our team has reviewed your idea, and we would like to evaluate the market reach further before we make a decision. So we will leave it here as Future Consideration for others to show support by voting and commenting. We will reevaluate within the next 6months and decide based on the additional feedback. Thank you again for your idea.

    At this moment, we are marking this as Future consideration.

    We understand the value of keeping domains in sync across systems, but this topic goes beyond the current scope of the Spatial Synchronization tool. In Maximo, domains are handled in a much more controlled and restrictive way than in GIS systems like ArcGIS, where values can be added or removed without necessarily considering references to other objects or tables. In Maximo, domain values are often tightly coupled with business logic and existing records, which makes automatic synchronization more sensitive and potentially impactful.

    Additionally, the current Synchronization tool does not treat domains as selectable or manageable artifacts for synchronization. Expanding the tool to support this capability would require broader alignment and implementation not only within the Spatial team but also with the Maximo Core team, given the cross-functional impact.

    This is an area we have discussed internally and recognize as valuable, but it requires careful design to ensure data integrity and consistency across systems.

    We will continue evaluating this as part of future enhancements.

    Thank you again for bringing it forward.
