Generating Id for existing data using the auto generators is not yet supported in Reltio.
I would suggest you to create an enhancement request in Ideas portal so the team can consider this enhancement in future releases.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion. Although I had performed re-indexing on the existing entities and it ran successfully, still no new auto IDs are being generated for those entities.
Thanks,
Supratim

To generate auto-generated IDs for existing entities in Reltio, you need to make sure the re-indexing task is completed successfully, and the generator is properly configured. You can verify the re-indexing task by checking the task logs to ensure that it ran successfully, and all entities were processed.
Additionally, you can double-check the generator's configuration to make sure the valueType, rangeStart, rangeEnd, step, and fixedLength are set correctly. If the re-indexing task and generator configuration are correct and the IDs still aren't being generated, you may need to open a support ticket with Reltio for further assistance.
If you have done all the steps correctly and the IDs are still not being generated, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Verify that the generator is active and running.
- Check the logs for any error messages or exceptions related to the generator or re-indexing task.
- Ensure that the autoGenerated attribute is properly set in the L3 config and the generator is properly associated with the attribute.
- Make sure that the generator is not in conflict with any existing values for the attribute in the entities.
If none of these steps solve the issue, you may need to contact Reltio support for further assistance.

Subject: Need immediate assistance with Auto-generated ID attribute for existing entities
Hi All,
There has been a requirement from client that we need to create auto-generated ID attributes so that the IDs get generated automatically for all existing entities. To perform this task, I have taken the following steps:
1. Create Generator using API
POST {{serverURL}}/generators
Body:
[
{
"name": "ID_Generator",
"type": "SEQUENTIAL",
"valueType": "DECIMAL",
"rangeStart": "1",
"rangeEnd": "99999",
"step": "1",
"fixedLength":5
}
]
2. Create an attribute in L3 config
{
"label": "Auto ID",
"name": "Auto_ID",
"type": "String",
"hidden": false,
"important": false,
"system": false,
"required": false,
"faceted": false,
"searchable": true,
"autoGenerated": true,
"generator": "ID_Generator",
"autoGenerationPattern": "ID{value}",
"generateIfEmpty": true,
"generateIfNotEmpty": false,
"uri": "configuration/entityTypes/Test/attributes/Auto_ID",
"skipInDataAccess": false
}
3. Ran a re-indexing task for the existing entities, but it isn't generating.
Can someone suggest on how to generate Auto IDs for existing entities as well?
