The generateUUID command enables you to explicitly generate a new database unique identifier (uuid).
The syntax of the generateUUID command in the jdbutilb command line is as follows.
jdbutilb path=database-path
ini=initialization-file-name
generateUUID
You should run this command in the batch JADE Database utility whenever you clone a database for a purpose other than to become an SDS secondary database (for example, when you take a copy of a development or production database for use in a test environment).
This is good practice, as it allows SDS to positively identify when a non-SDS clone of a database inadvertently attempts to join a Synchronized Secondary Environment (SDE). Although SDS detects this by other means, it is more obvious when non-SDS clones are assigned unique IDs.
