Naming UUID-Fields

Each database must contain at least one UUID-Field that references the field in the database that contains the user-account information (Login). The name provided for that UUID-Field must be provided in the following form: <Database Name>_ID. The Name provided for any other UUID-Field can take any form.

For example, for a database called RACF.udb the Name provided for the UUID-Field relating to the user-account field is RACF_ID.

The purpose of this special UUID-Field is to support the Merge operation (post matching). It is used to compare to the Person ID field in the merged configuration.

Note: The ID UUID-Field is not used for the correlation process. It should be associated with a group of its own, and given a weight of 0.
