These are 2 other possibilities we are looking at. The GCI has the drawback that it requires C code and we may encounter a customer that doesn't have the C compiler on their server.
We may end up doing something like this: UUID = DTX(CHECKSUM(@LOGNAME)):"-":DTX(ABS(@USERNO)):"-":DTX(CHECKSUM(SYSTEM (1302))):"-":DTX(DATE()):"-":DTX(INT(10000*TIME())):"-":DTX(RND(10000000)) Someone at IBM suggested having Universe call an external Webservice to generate a UUID but that would be even slower than having a shell call the uuidgen program. ----- Original Message ---- From: Rex Gozar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1:22:57 PM Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Named commons Jacques, How unique do your UUID's need to be? Do you need them to conform to the 32 hex digit format? If not, you could generate unique identifiers based on the port number (@userno) and current date/time. Alternatively, you could use GCI to integrate the uuidgen function into the Universe shell. rex Jacques G. wrote: > I need to generate UUID's Universe doesn't have a function that does this... ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
