unique number end where clause

When I create the excel specs from my define. It seems to generate a unique number at the end of the Where Clause column (Valuelevel tab) and Id column (WhereClauses tab). Where is this unique number (e398a687) coming from as it is not defined in my xml code?

xml:

</ItemRef>
</def:ValueListDef>
<def:ValueListDef OID="VL.IE.IEORRES">
<ItemRef ItemOID="IT.IE.IEORRES.IE.IETESTCD.EX01" OrderNumber="001" Mandatory="Yes">
<def:WhereClauseRef WhereClauseOID="WC.IE.IETESTCD.EX01"></def:WhereClauseRef>
</ItemRef>

excel spec:

IE IEORRES IE.IETESTCD.EQ.EX01-e398a687

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Re: unique number end where clause

When you start with your define.xml, your WhereClause ID can be whatever you'd like it to be as long as it is unique. However, when you convert using P21 Community, we regenerate a new WhereClause ID, which is where those extra characters come from, to ensure uniqueness and because the WhereClause ID has no significant meaning besides being a unique identifier.

Please let me know if this answers your question or if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Tom
