Hi Tim,

This is indeed not documented and should be ignored for now. That GUID has been added to potentially uniquely identify a DMA, a bit like a DMA ID, but it is currently not used yet, so it could potentially be changed or removed again as well. In other words, for now, just ignore it.

Apparently, there are already some parts of DataMiner using this DMA GUID, like swarming for instance. So, this won’t be removed anymore…
