Generate GUID
deepthig
over 7 years ago
Hello,
Are there any functions or smart services available to generate GUID through Appian. I am planning to do it via Stored Proc, but any suggestions to do it from Appian will be helpful.
Thanks in advance

There used to be a plug-in in
forum.appian.com/.../
but it was removed because RDBMS' already provide a function to generate those. It's better if you do it in your Stored Procedure itself using your RDBMS' functions.

@Deepthig, generateuuid() generates UUID. It can be used to generate unique strings. Worth checking it.

generateuuid is not an out of the box function though. You may want to share with the user where you found that plug-in.

For anyone else who may encounter this requirement in the future, there is a new Playbook play with recommendations for implementing GUIDs in Appian:
