I have setup an ID-Generator presentation, but don't see it being used against requirements. I'm following the instructions in the help and also the fmstudio.pdf - what steps might I be missing?

Also, I note that the pdf states:
"Currently, the presentation does not check whether duplicate
IDs exist!"

Is this still true? When my requirements base increases, this could be of concern.

Hi Max,

> what steps might I be missing?

Carefully check the following: (1) The ID-Generator is associated with a DatatypeDefinition; (2) There must be an Attribute using that DatatypeDefinition; (3) The Attribute belongs to a SpecObjectType; (4) Only SpecObjects using that SpecObjectType will receive IDs.

> "Currently, the presentation does not check whether duplicate IDs exist!"
> Is this still true? When my requirements base increases, this could be of concern.

The Generator simply increments a counter and assigns IDs. If you are working in a team environment, this could lead to duplicates, and this is not checked. Checking this is not that difficult, but someone has to implement it. If this is a concern to you, you should not use it (or fix it. Smile).

Best,

- Michael

Yes, I have this setup - but I'm not seeing my numbering used:
index.php/fa/23377/0/
index.php/fa/23378/0/

What Datatype are you using for RequirementType.ID?

I thought I had set it correctly:

index.php/fa/23383/0/

Hi Max,

From the screenshot I cannot see what I am looking for: You need to select "ID" (the Attribute of "Requirement Type". Then you would see in the lower pane, which **Datatype** is assinged. If it is T_String32k (as I suspect), then you'd have to change it to T_ID.

But maybe I am on the wrong track.

Best,

- Michael

Bingo! Thank you very much. I had the SpecType (SpecObject) and the datatype T_ID but hadn't applied the T_ID as the SpecObject attribute type for string, as you suggested!

Happily numbering away now!
