Hi, RRR|Chive actually has a setting for changing the size of the Request ID, or the prefix for that matter.
This would change prefix to XYZ and the total lenght to 10: entryidmode = XYZ0000000 You can go from ARX to Target Server or you can go server to server. You can even do incremental transers to only copy updated records. https://rrr.se/cgi/index?pg=chive Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se > Thank you for your response.
