Generate Key Method

This method returns a string that you can use to uniquely identify a record in the service's business component. For Workflow Processes, it refers to the primary business component of the processes’ business object.

Generate Key has only one input:

  • Key Description - String. This is used to describe the form of the string to be generated.

  • This input is in the form [A].[B].[C]… where A, B, C… are names of fields that correspond to a unique key in your database.

  • For instance, when using Contact, [Last Name].[First Name] would generate an insufficient value. However, [Id].[Last Name] would work because [Id] itself is guaranteed unique in this system.

Generate Key has only one output:

  • Source Key - String. This is used to identify the record in the service's business component.
