Definition

Use

You can use a generation rule with a context counter to determine that a serial number is assigned to part of a string of the generated ID.

To set a rule with a context counter, you have to define the following rule elements with the same name:

  • Start marker for context counter
  • End marker for context counter
  • Context counter

The marker elements determine the context (part string of the generated ID) for which you want the counter element to generate a new number.

You generate the logical context of the elements using the name of the elements. Because the names of rule elements must be unique in the system, the marker elements have a name prefix (which you cannot change).

Note:

The following prerequisites apply when defining rules:

  • Elements that belong together must be defined in the same rule.
  • The start marker must be before the end marker.
  • The end marker must be before the corresponding context counter.

Dependencies

Example

MBEG_transaction number        (start marker)

MEND_transaction number        (end marker)

transaction number        (context counter)
