New Rhythmyx Server - how to set starting content ID?

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion
1

We’re moving to a new server, and would like to set up our new server with a starting content ID that is higher than the highest content ID in our old system. Is there some place (configuration file, database table) we can configure the starting point for content IDs to be a specific value?

Hi Kathleen

Just open up the NEXTNUMBER table and you’ll see all the current values for the various different Rhythmyx object. Just update the one where the KEYNAME is “CONTENT” to the new value.

Here’s some SQL

UPDATE NEXTNUMBER
SET NEXTNR = <new_content_number>
WHERE KEYNAME = ‘CONTENT’

Make a backup of the database first.

Cheers

I tried it, and it looks like that worked fine - thanks for the help.
