Hi,

I am just trying to re-use number sequence. In my case, First I am generating the sequence and it shows NUM-001. Without saving that record, while creating it again coming to NUM-002. But, I need NUM-001 again.

I couldn't solved this problem by using number sequence Form's close() method,

public void close()

{

if (numberSeqFormHandler)

{

numberSeqFormHandler.formMethodClose();

}

super();

}

Thanks,

Shakul SM

RE: How to Re-use numbers from Number sequence which isn't saved

Could you share your code which you use for getting the number from the number sequence?

Also, please check the Automatic cleanup job that you can enable for the number sequence.

"When you select the Continuous check box of a number sequence, the system automatically ensures that no numbers from the current sequence are lost. The system furthermore ensures that selected numbers are returned to the list if an update is unexpectedly terminated or fails.

In cases of power failure, crashes, or other kinds of unexpected termination, the system cannot return the numbers automatically. This is because the client process stops, leaving no time for the required cleanup of the selected numbers. The complete cleanup will find such temporary lost numbers and return them to the list with the status Free."
