TS6.7.1 SP1, WindowsServer2003

I have a number in iwevents.log file

0x0000100846f7621f40089108

1) How to read this number ?

2) Is second digit letter "x" or multiply sign ?

3) Is this number in hexa decimal ? I am trying to convert this number to decimal, but calculator does not accept this number.

4) How to use this number ? This number is in iwevents.log

Pls explain

0x (Zero - lowercase Letter 'x') is Compiler's Hexadecimal Literal Notation, same as in C++ and Java. It is certainly not
a part of the integer itself, consider it a marker. String that immediately follows may contain only Hexadecimal Digits
0-9, A-F. It represents some Integer number in Hexadecimal.

Note that converting IWOV Object IDs to decimals is IMO useless, CLT Commands use hex.

Run the following command verbatim: iwperl -e "printf('%s %s %s', 22, 022, 0x22);"
The result is: 22 18 34. Do you understand why?

Thanks,
I dont want to go in useless exercise of converting hexa to decimal.

I want to find out what job or branch does this number represent.

So can you pls explain how to use this number ? Because wheen I use this number with iwattrib, it doesnt give any result.
e.g. iwattrib 0x0000100846f7621f40089108 or
iwattrib 0000100846f7621f40089108

I did that with workflow object. I collected hexa decimal numbers from workflow content store, used them in calculator in hexa mode and converted it to decimal. The resulting jobID was the one that I could work upon.

The printf that you are giving as example will print in that way because first one is decimal, third one is hexa and second one I dont remember.

Thanks.

it is of no value to you unless you are using a command that requires it.

This is a DB index (for lack of a better term), basically a unique identifier used within the TS product itself. There are a handful of commands that will accept this as a parameter. Unless you need to use this number, ignore it.

You said in the related thread that you have read the Manual. If so, I can only recommend to re-read it. iwattrib Obect ID Syntax is:

iwattrib -l -o 0x0000100846f7621f40089108
iwattrib -o 0x0000100846f7621f40089108 SomeAttribute

The flag is lowercase letter 'o', not 0 (zero) and not Alcatel Corporate Logo, just the letter 'o'.
Object ID is a unique Object identifier, nothing more. On itself it does not *represent* anything.
