GUID Generator

A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) generator for KNIME. This component is useful for creating a unique key that is not based on Row ID.

This component will append a new column to your data. The column will contain generated GUIDs (e.g. "ea07a945-5c76-42fe-8591-0d2b3141d1f6"). Optionally, you can replace the default Row ID's with the generated GUIDs.

This component implements the java.util.UUID package.

Options

Update Row ID: If enabled, the original Row ID value (generated by KNIME) will be updated to match the generated GUID for each row.
New Column Name: The name of the new column to be created. If the column already exists, the process will fail and return an error in the console.

Input Ports

: Any input table.

Output Ports

: Input table plus a new column containing the generated GUIDs. The column is titled "GUID" by default.
