Question & Answer
Question
In FileNet Content Manager releases prior to version 5.2.1, the unique identifiers assigned to objects are generated using an algorithm that produces completely random values. In the FileNet Content Manager version 5.2.1 release, a new algorithm is available that produces sequential IDs. Sequential IDs have a time- and counter-based portion that is combined with a random portion in such a way that consecutively created IDs are sequential (monotonic) per the natural ordering applied by the underlying database.
