Parameter Name |
Description |
UniversalID |
A UniversalID of a document is a read-write property that
uniquely identifies a document across all replicas of a database.
In character format, a UniversalID is a 32-character combination of
hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). A UniversalID is also known as the
unique ID or UNID. The datatype is string. |
NotesID |
A NoteID of a document is a read only property and has a
hexadecimal value of up to 8 characters, which uniquely identifies
a document within a particular database. A NoteID represents the location
of a document within a specific database file. So the documents that
are replicas of one another generally have different note IDs. A
NoteID does not change, unless the document is deleted. |
Note: You must map the input parameters
of the activity.
