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
