SI_GUID

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can someone tell me teh difference between SI_GUID and SI_CUID ..I know the CUID is the unique object identifier in a cluster and that it remains same across enviroments. I noticed in my BI4.0 the guid and cuid re same. So, can someone explain the significance of having guid?

Thanks

GU_ID refers to Global Unique Identifier which is used in earlier versions of BusinessObjects. This is unique in higher level as compared to CU_ID which is unique in a single environment . But where as in the case of GU_ID it is unique across multiple environments.No two environment will have same GU_ID at any point of time.

Mani --  you're confusing GUID with CUID and SI_ID

Thanks all for your inputs.

Insaf- I browsed through the link which you posted and  it pretty much says that GUID are similiar to SI_ID.

So, I guess there is no documentation on whether GUId and CUID are same as part new of BI4.0 and that there is no signifinace of having GUID.

GUID  is used to identify objects in an object package, its is used for internal processing.

There is no significance, it is used internaly.

The only ID's you should care about are SI_CUID and SI_ID. CUID is most important one.

I have seen that the GUID and the CUID in 4.0 are same. whil that was not the case in XI R2. Seems some old SDk code in one of the aplications in XI r2 using the GUID.
