Laptop
  • Entities from the server imported to the laptop keep the same URN.

  • Entities created on the laptop are allocated a temporary URN by creating a normal URN but replacing the first 0 of the sequence number by T.

    For example, GCN/000023 becomes GCN\T00023.

    This means a URN created on the laptop can't clash with a URN on the server when its imported to the server.

  • When an entity created on a laptop is imported to the server it's allocated a permanent server URN.

    When it's next exported to a laptop, the temporary URN of the entity on the laptop is replaced by the permanent URN from the server entity.
