Different types of uniqueNumbers

Support
#1

If I want to have different types of uniqueNumbers.
Ex:
Seq 1 = starts at 1000 shall increment with one or as set by user
Seq 2 = starts at 5000 shall increment with one or as set by user
Seq 3 = starts at 10000 shall increment with one or as set by user
Seq 4 = starts at 1 shall increment with one or as set by user and has a formatting as N001
Each of the sequence numbers above may be created by user and presented in a table.
Different entites uses each of the sequence numbers as report number or document Id.
Every time a new post is created, the post will get a new sequence number.

How can we solve this?

On the middle tier, you have full control over sequences through the UniqueNumbersAPI interface. See its JavaDocs for details.
So you can create a service or a managed bean in the core module of your project and invoke UniqueNumbersAPI through it.

I have some trouble with DeleteNumber (domain)
I have created a sequence Demo in lowerletters.
When I try to delete it I get an error. Demo not found.
I am using Postgresql.

If I try to remove seq_un_demo sequence in Postgresql.
I get an error telling me that seq_un_demo is not found when I try to create it in
Cuba-platform again.
Is there any table I can’t see in Postgresql?
Where is sequence entries saved in Cuba-platform?

Hi,

If you want to create the “demo” sequence using the DB manager you should specify its name seq_un_demo.

When the sequence is created by some method of the UniqueNumbers class, “seq_un” is added before domain automatically.

Try to call the following code in some service in your application.


 @Inject
private UniqueNumbersAPI uniqueNumbers;
...
Long longValue = uniqueNumbers.getNextNumber("demo")

As result, the sequence with the name “seq_un_demo” is created automatically in the Database.

After that, call uniqueNumbers.deleteSequence(domain) and the sequence is deleted. And if to call it again “IllegalStateException: Attempt to delete nonexistent sequence demo” occurs.

Regards.

I have solved the problem and created a service/gui to handle
Sequence to Entity attribute.
