SyncCatalog

OAGIS BOD combining the Sync verb with the Catalog noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT PRICAT and X12 832 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Catalog domain.

BOD purpose

The SyncCatalog BOD is the sync (publication mode) version of the catalogue: a publisher distributes the current state of its catalogue to one or more subscribers. Unlike Process, Sync does not request transactional action, it distributes a truth.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, SyncCatalog stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• Sync verb with actionCode (Add, Change, Delete).
• Catalog noun complete or delta.

XML example
