How is GUID generated for a batch under Image Services repository?

Product Documentation


Abstract

The document explains how the GUID is generated for a batch under Image Services repository.

Content

GUID (global unique identifier) comprises of five sections separated with (-) symbol in the following format:
{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

If GUID is labeled sequentially as A,B,C,D,E in five sections, then each can be described as:

Section A: It is hexadecimal value of Image Services User ID, who creates the batch.
Section B and C: It is hexadecimal value (which is arranged in section B and section C) of folder_id of Batch in Image Services. If folder_id is not created at the time of batch creation, then Batch_id of Batch is used. Whenever a batch is created in Image Services repository, then folder_id and batch_id are incremented.
For example, if the value of folder_id is 5000000, the hexadecimal value becomes 4C4B40. This value is arranged in section B and C as 004C and 4B40.
Section D: It is always 0000.
Section E: It is always 080034020000. The value “080034” represents network vendor ID. Digit 2 represents batch node type.

Whenever a new batch is created, the value of only Section C is incremented based on folder_id and batch_id returned from Image Services.

For example, {00000147-001D-D655-0000-080034020000}
