SID support key points

SID support requires a custom file type, which does the following:
  • Read the begin tag and end tag for a unique identifier from the source files.
  • Activate SID in WorldServer with the unique identifier and associate the unique identifier with the TM segments.
The nature of the SID depends on the end requirements. Some customers choose SIDs that are unique for each segment. This is not a WorldServer requirement. Some customers reuse SID values across different source text.

The most important thing to determine is what format you will use for the SID. You can then create a utility that generates SIDs consistently and uniquely per segment.
