I have a requirement to link to an Appian record dashboard (entity-backed) from an external system. I plan to retrieve the Record Opaque ID from the urlforrecord() function in process and write it to an Oracle DB. The external system will use this DB entry to build an intuitive URL for the record dashboard. My question is: 1) will this opaque ID remain unchanged in my environment, even after an engine restart? and 2) will this opaque ID change between environments (Dev, QA, Prod)?...

The string you see is the representation of the primary key of the record store. Appian translates the string to the corresponding ID. So, if your OpaqueId is the primary key of the table on which the Record is based, then using URlToRecord(Record_Type, OpaqueId) will get you the URL that'll take you directly to the record (with the above caveat)
