Viewing, Editing, and Resetting Sequence Values

You can view the last sequence value by inspecting the property and viewing the sequence data type parameters. From the inspector, you can also manually enter a new sequence value, and you can clear the last sequence value to have the next value in the sequence begin with the original sequence start value.

Considerations

• Changes to sequence values apply to new requests, imports, and loads. No changes are made to In Flight requests.
• Manually entering a new sequence value will result in new sequence values starting at the number that you entered plus the sequence step value. See Editing the Last Sequence Value.

  Note:

  You can view and edit the step value by editing the property parameters. See Sequence Data Type Parameters.
• Resetting the sequence value will result in new sequence values using the initial starting value of the sequence property plus the step value. See Resetting the Last Sequence Value.

  Note:

  You can view and edit the initial sequence starting value and step value by editing the property parameters. See Sequence Data Type Parameters.
• Use caution when manually entering a last sequence value that is less than the last value or resetting the sequence value back to the initial starting value. This could result in sequence numbers that are duplicates of existing sequence numbers that have already been assigned. Consider setting up an application constraint to ensure that the sequence property has unique values. See Working with Constraints.
