getSequenceNumber() Operation


Syntax

 


anInteger = getSequenceNumber()


Semantics

Returns a sequence number as an integer (64bit). A sequence number is guaranteed to be larger than the number retrieved with a previous call to getSequenceNumber().

As the sequence number is maintained within a server process and shared between multiple threads and requests, it ...

  1. ... will be reset upon restart of the composite service,

  2. ... does increase in arbitrary steps >= 1,

  3. ... is not synchronized over multiple nodes.

Examples

 


set aTimeStamp = getSequenceNumber();
