Why do we need Auto ID Generation

‰ Impossible to key in unique ID for each record in each


application.

‰ Data stored must have a unique ID to be identified easily

Auto ID Generation in T24

‰ If an application requires auto ID generation, it must be

Auto ID Generation in T24

‰ First ID must be specified in AUTO.ID.START


application. The ID is the application name.

How it works

Auto ID generation works in three ways

‰ Click the NEW icon when application is launched

‰ Type <Application> I F3 in the command line

‰ Type <Application,versionname> I F3 in the command


line

How it works

Applications that have auto


ID generation set, have this
NEW icon, other applications
don’t.

How it works

The word NEW specifies


that a new ID has been
generated. It can be
viewed once the record
is verified or placed on
Hold etc.

That’s the new ID generated

How it works

T24 keeps track of all the ID’s generated for each


application, so that it can generate the next one when
required. The LOCKING file keeps track of this.

‰ The last generated ID is obtained from LOCKING

‰ Incremented by 1

‰ Write the new ID to LOCKING

‰ Assign the new ID to the user

T2ITT – R05 – 1.0 Copyright © 2005 TEMENOS HOLDINGS NV


How it works

ID is F<mnemonic>.APPLICATION

Last ID generated for that application

Summary

‰ Some applications allow AUTO ID generation


‰ They must be mentioned in the PGM.AUTOM.ID field in the
COMPANY application
‰ Even though AUTO ID generation is set, the user is allowed to
form an ID as long as the validation rules are satisfied.
‰ To make AUTO ID generation mandatory, we must suffix the
application name with M in the COMPANY file. (e.g.:
CUSTOMER M)
‰ AUTO.ID.START application is used to mention the first ID to
be generated for each application
‰ The last ID generated is held in the LOCKING file, so that’s
how T24 knows the next ID to generate.
