When Mediator identifies a consumer application at run time, it searches a local list of application assets that it maintains. This list is initially downloaded from the CentraSite registry when you start Mediator. Mediator periodically resyncs the list to keep it up-to-date.

Be aware that application assets are made available to Mediator as soon as they are added to the registry. That is, an application asset that you add to CentraSite is given to Mediator the next time Mediator resyncs its local list with the registry. Therefore, you should not add an application asset to CentraSite's registry until you are able to provide the proper identifiers for it.
