DFS 8.0.2 - 9 Calculated itemIds

When you create a new silo under sitecore ā†’Ā Media LibraryĀ ā†’ Digizuite, the item gets a unique Item ID. This ID is used to generate all items itemId, when synchronizing the silo against Digizuiteā„¢ DAM.

The silo is a bucket containing all the assetsĀ available from Digizuiteā„¢ DAM, represented as an item and the ItemId for each item is calculated from this formula: AssetId + Silo ItemId.
T
his means that the itemId is always the same, for a specific asset, when its being deleted and synchronized again.

The silo configuration located at sitecoreĀ ā†’ System ā†’ ModulesĀ ā†’ Digizuite ā†’ MetaDataRoot_0, has the same logic as above around generating the ItemId.

If you are working multiple developers together, then you have to make sure that every one has a silo item with the same itemId. Then when every developer synchronizes the silo, all the items + configurations has the same itemId between developers.
