SID-based alignment

The WorldServer alignment process will perform alignment validation on the source and target segments when SID values are available. The condition is simple:
  • If the source and target both have SID values and they are not equal, do not align.

The presence of matching SID values does not guarantee a perfect alignment. Placeholder alignment is still required within the segment. If either of the segments is missing a SID value, then the SID condition is ignored. The segments may become aligned on account of the additional alignment engine algorithms.

In the event that this functionality needs to be disabled, you can modify the following TM property:
  • Description: Determines whether SIDs are used during the alignment process if they are available. SIDs must match in order for the segments to be aligned if both segments contain SID values.
  • Name: enable_sid_based_alignment=true (default)
