For example if you export a folder as an acp and then you import the acp, even in the same repository, the UUID of the nodes will not be the same.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It is always better to associate to the documents an ID that is saved as a custom metadata.</SPAN><BR /><BR /></BODY></HTML> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:54:44 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-webservice/m-p/301332#M254462 marco_altieri 2014-02-13T15:54:44Z
