Hi Mahi,
This is the official SAPUI5 documentation on Smart Variant Management. There you will see that "percistencyKey" is the value for keyName that is used internally by the backend system to store the search variant ID. Once your UI sends a POST to store the variant, it sends its Name to the OData service. This in turn generates a key (GUID) for the variant that would be specific to the logged on user (same concept as saving variants on SAPGui). When you reload the UI, the Smart Table will retrieve all variants for the logged on user and display them. If you ever need to edit some of them the OData will send the GUID instead of a name.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards,
Ivan
