How Are IDs in Empower assigned and why do they not always appear to be numbered in a sequential order? - WKB1181

ENVIRONMENT

• Millennium
• Empower
• Empower 2
• Empower 3

ANSWER

In Empower, Project-level objects are identified by IDs assigned by the Empower Database.

These IDs are always unique within a project and are assigned when needed in a sequential order within the project starting with the value of 1000. The sequential numbering may not be obvious due to the timing of concurrent actions and other ID assignments that may be taking place within the project.

As an example, the assignment of IDs for a single injection is assigned to these related objects in this order:

1. Vial ID

2. Injection ID

3. Channel ID

4. Result ID (when the data is processes)

If a set of ID numbers appear in sequential order, it is most likely the result of an activity where multiple objects are generated over a short period of time and no other activities are occurring within the project that require new IDs during the activity. It is impossible to predict how IDs will be assigned because it depends on all action(s) taking place within the project.
