Understanding Configuration IDs

The configuration ID is an identifier that represents a unique configuration. It is generated from an encryption algorithm. Regardless of the number of segments or levels in the configured item, the system always converts the information into a 32-character digest. The digest is always a full 32 characters in length, consists of numbers and characters, and does not contain any blanks. You cannot determine the initial value from the digest; it has no significant meaning.

Configurator maintains its configuration and identifies it by using the configuration ID. The configuration ID, along with the system order number and the line number, create a unique identity in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system. A configuration ID is created for both parent and component configured items. The configuration ID is created and stored in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator tables, which are used by the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system. Thus, you do not see or use the configuration ID.

Note: The line number is not used in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order (ETO) process because each configured item task in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO system has its own work order number, and only one configuration per work order can exist.
