ssjs_getClientID()

Description

The ssjs_getClientID function is a top-level function that is not associated with any core server-side object. This function returns a unique identifier from the runtime engine. This allows you to track a user's session across several pages when using server-side maintenance. When using this function, there is no need to store the identifier as a property of the client object.

Example

Listing 8.141 writes the identifier generated by the ssjs_getClientID function to the page.

Listing 8.141 Seeing the ssjs_getClientID Function
<SERVER>

// Store the identifier in a variable
var myIdentifier = ssjs_getClientID();

// Write the ID to the page
write(myIdentifier);

</SERVER>
