Cluster IDs

All objects in a DCM database are automatically assigned a cluster ID. This attribute uniquely identifies an object across all Rational® Synergy repositories, and is directly related to the database in which the object was created.

The purpose of a cluster ID is to:

When an object is imported, DCM checks its name and cluster ID. This check identifies objects that have been renamed. For example, suppose a static object is sent to another database, renamed, and sent back to that other database. In such cases, the cluster ID is used to detect the name change. Thus, the destination database ends up with one occurrence of the renamed object.
