ssjs_getClientID()

Description

The ssjs_getClientID function is a top-level function that is not associated with any core server-side object. This function returns a unique identifier from the runtime engine. This allows you to track a user's session across several pages when using server-side maintenance. When using this function, there is no need to store the identifier as a property of the client object.

Example

Listing 8.141 writes the identifier generated by the ssjs_getClientID function to the page.

var myIdentifier = ssjs_getClientID();
