Unique eventID | does it support hex characters

[ambikaTewari_ATCI]

Hi Team,

We are already passing unique event ID for the scOpen event. but now our Mobile App and  Front End Team has recommended to pass the hex characters to be used as the eventID so that web and mobile app generates  the same number for eventID.

They have given us the code to generate the uniqueEventId in form of hex characters. I see in beacon it is coming as empty : 

Any suggestion in this regard will be helpful.

Hi ambikaTewari__ATCI 

From your description, the first step could be to ensure that the uniqueEventId is properly generated and captured. This can be done for example by sending the ID in context data to verify or logging it to debug logs. if this is for the web, use the browser’s developer console to log the uniqueEventId. For instance, for web you can use _satellite.logger.info to log the value. For mobile apps, this could be by logging the event ID to the app logs depending on the specific mobile platform’s logging method. 

Value length shouldn't be an issue, as the values get truncated to 20 characters. And as values are hexadecimals, they also should be alphanumeric, which is accepted.

Hope this helps!
