Overview

This node generates a unique identity string based on the current date and time, combined with a counter to ensure uniqueness within the same minute. It is useful in scenarios where a unique identifier is needed for records, transactions, or any process requiring distinct IDs, such as logging events or tagging data entries.

Use Case Examples

1. Generating unique IDs for database records to avoid duplication.
2. Creating unique transaction IDs in financial applications.
3. Tagging log entries with unique identifiers for easier tracking.

Output

JSON

• identity - The generated unique identity string composed of the current date and time plus a counter

Troubleshooting

• If the node generates duplicate IDs, ensure it is not executed multiple times within the same minute beyond the counter limit (9999).
• The counter resets after reaching 9999, so very high-frequency usage within the same minute might cause ID collisions.
