Hi all,

 

I’m new to FME and would like to know if there is a way to generate a v5 UUID in FME 2024? From what I have read I can’t see a method for this.

 

Thanks.

I don’t know about official v5 but this should give you something similar. Do you think this would work?


Thanks for the reply. I looked at CRC but I need the value to be in UUID format to satisfy downstream requirements.


You could make use of a python caller and uuid.uuid5()
https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html#uuid.uuid5


Thanks, that’s what I have ended up using and it’s working as required.


I was curious, so I’ve made a CT for that (but on FME 2025 tho 😅)
