Specify Prefix for Object Reference Numbers

Each Axon object is stored in the database with a unique reference number. For each object type, you must specify the prefix for the reference number. This helps you quickly identify an object type when you search for the objects in the database. For example, if you prefix policy reference numbers with "POL-", you can identify the POL-2335446 object as a policy.
You must have the Super Admin profile to perform this task.
    1. From the Axon toolbar, click the Admin Panel menu item under your user name.
    2. In the menu on the left, under the Customize & Configure category, click System Settings.
    3. In the Group list, select Reference Number Settings.
    4. Click the Edit button, and then click the Edit icon.
    5. In the Facets Reference Number window, enter the prefixes for the Axon object types.
    6. In the Facets Reference Number window, click Save to save your changes.
    7. In the System Settings page, click Save to save your settings.
    8. In the Linux environment, run the following command to clear the Axon cache and restart the necessary services:
    sh <INSTALLATION_DIR>/axonhome/third-party-app/scripts/paramsync
    When you run the paramsync script, Axon restarts the HTTPD, Memcached, and email notification services.
Note: When you clear the cache and restart the Axon services, the Axon web interface might be disrupted for some users that are logged into Axon. Informatica recommends that you update the cache after you save your changes in all the System Settings pages. Additionally, perform this action during a maintenance period when very few users are using Axon.
