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.
