Again, I think you would be better using it based on context, rather than the actual string format (this could change down the track). Something like this would be the simplest (but not the best): PerformAction(repository_uuid, transaction_Id, revision_Id) - for pre-commit hook, only populate the first two parameters - for post-commit hook, populate the first and third parameters Cheers, Daniel B.
