Attribute Assistant for creating GUID

[MeghanKulkarni]

Hello Team,

I am having trouble using AA for creating GUID. Below is the snapshot of a DynamicValue table:

I have turned on debug mode and below is log file record:

############ 6/7/2018 9:15:55 AM ################

Setting sort order: Field - RUNORDER
Querying table for Last Value for layer: Addresses
Query Used: (TABLENAME = '*' OR TABLENAME = 'Addresses' OR TABLENAME like 'Addresses|*' OR TABLENAME like 'Addresses|%') AND VALUEMETHOD = 'Last_Value'

Number of results: 1

On Change: 1

Checking for Subtype Restriction

I am checking GenerateID table. Nothing shows up. Can someone help me with this?

My Best,

The dataset can be configured by right click, manage, add global IDs for automatic entry.

Otherwise, I use the following to populate an attribute field that is similar to the GlobalID field.

table name: (use * if you want this to apply to all feature classes)
Field Name: (enter the name of the field that you want the GUID in)
Value Method: GUID
Value Info: B

for other values:  N, D, P

(documentation, All Methods) scroll down to:  GUID

Is FIELDNAME supposed to be <Null>?

[Florentino__Tino_Gomez]

no.  type the name of the attribute field that will have the GUID data.

In our case, the attribute field name is called, "sdsID" or "GlobalID"

attached is a screen shot, still working improving on how NOT to populate the attributes that are NOT NULL.  work in progress.

I downloaded some of the other industry workflows examples to get ideas and somewhere i got a bunch of examples that others had uploaded.  here is the link to them, hope the links work:  https://community.esri.com/message/590427

That was a rhetorical question....  I'm not the one having problems with it; personally, I don't use GUIDS for anything but replication....
