Hi Colleagues,

I have some concerns on the unique_id in the service metadata.

1. In the api docs http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/237/services/retrieve_a_particular_service.html it says unique_id -A "guid" that identifies the service with the broker. And if one visits the catalog-metadata link here: http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/catalog-metadata.html -see Example Cloud Controller Response Body-here the unique_id values seem to take string containing characters and numbers (not only guid). So there is a little bit of confusion as to what the unique_id value type is. The documentation of the apidocs can be updated for better clarity.

2. Secondly, in the space summary retrieval :http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/237/spaces/get_space_summary.html ,the unique_id is not part of the service details metadata that's been returned. Any particular reason why?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Ponraj

Hello Ponraj,

1. The value of unique_id is a guid. We have submitted this PR https://github.com/adowns01/docs-services/pull/1 to the documentation team so that they can clarify this in the example you pointed out.

2. As far as we know, there's no particular reason why the unique_id was not presented in the spaces summary.
