We have an external GPS system called Roadside from which we want to receive odometer and engine hour readings. They will flow to meters associated with our vehicle assets. They offer an API where we can pull this data, either directly connecting via Maximo or with an intermediate middleware of some sort. Here's the API documentation. RoMa API - Roadside Systems RoMa

Our biggest question right now is how to identify the assets. This external system has their own set of external IDs ("VehicleID") for the assets that we could map to our asset num in Maximo. However, I'm not sure where to put that mapping so Maximo can use it. Do I use a table domain somehow? An alias on the asset? Something else?
