Version 10.1 new Unique ID fields

[Greg.S.Tank]

Hi, we recently did an upgrade to OnDemand 10.1 and was excited to implement the Unique Document ID feature.
After looking into it more it appears as though it doesn't automatically identify them with a Unique Document ID, I have to add a new column and identify it as a "Unique ID" type.
Even after doing this the documents do not have an assigned Unique ID.

Do I have to do a mock update on each document in order to have a Unique ID assigned, or is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Greg

Greg - just throwing in my two cents...

Haven't worked with this at all, but during training I did jot down these note...says it should be automatically generated.

Generates a unique identifier for every row loaded into OnDemand

o Configurable per application group
o String field of length 36 bytes
−Example:
ac9223b3-f741-4608-ba92-749fda48d866
o If defined, then automatically generated during load
o If multiple rows to same document, each row has its own unique identifier
−Previously with ERM –such rows could not participate in ERM
o Only applies to new data loaded

Thanks Ed, that was the answer I was looking for, I was hoping it would be available for the millions of existing documents we currently have, but it appears as though we will be unable to use this feature since it is only available for new documents loaded.  In order to be useful for us it would have to be usable for all our documents including previously loaded ones.

Ed's correct -- this (among many other improvements) was in the IBM CMOD v10.1 update:  http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php?topic=2223
