Odometer

Odometer is a persistent number that increases, accessible as a declared constant, which is particularly useful in retrieving tokens. eFORMz contains three types of odometers:

<eFORMzConfiguration>
  <Constant Name="ODOMETER_NAME_A" InUI="true" Type="Odometer" Length="5" Persist="odometer_a.dat" />
  <Constant Name="ODOMETER_NAME_B" InUI="true" Type="Odometer" Length="5" />
  <Constant Name="ODOMETER_NAME_C" InUI="true" Type="uuid" />
</eFORMzConfiguration>

The Persist type lasts between restarts of the service. There’s only one instance per file system. Normal (ODOMETER_NAME_B) resets to start. The UUID type is always unique.
