Duplicate ES_Record_UUID values

[botony269]

I have just started to configure a hosted database and have added EasySync fields to 2 tables A and B that are related on the Relationship Graph through appropriate ID fields. As there are data in both tables I have updated the records in both tables using the 'Replace Field Contents' following the instructions in EasySync Documentation. The values of the ES_Record_UUID field are identical  in both tables. The same is true for the ES_UTC_Time fields

Is this expected? Is it significant? If so what can I do about it?

Many thanks for any advice

Hello.

 

"Is this expected? Is it significant? If so what can I do about it?"

 

No, that isn't the expected behavior, and the duplicate ES_Record_UUID will cause problems when you sync.

 

When you used the Replace Field Contents command to set the ES_Record_UUID values, did you use "Get ( UUID )" as the calculation formula? If so, then unique UUIDs should have been assigned to all records in the tables.

 

To set the "ES_UTC_Time" using the Replace Field Contents command, use this calculation formula: Get ( CurrentTimeUTCMilliseconds )

 

Let me know if you run into any other problems, or if you need additional help.
