Create a library function for creating a Guid

Mingle Card: 413 Create a utility method to create a Guid inside APEX so that we can call it from a trigger.

This looks like a good candidate.
Be sure and write a unit test for it so that our packaging doesn't break. Since you will need to unit test it, you should probably only bring over the exact method you are using.

StringUtility class was added before this mingle card was created. getHexString() is used to create Guid, Job/Ticket tracking number.


private static string getHexString()

    {

        String seed = UserInfo.getUserId() +  string.valueof(System.now().getTime()) + EncodingUtil.ConvertTohex(Crypto.GenerateAESKey(128));        

        Blob bsig = Crypto.generateDigest('SHA1', Blob.valueOf(seed));

        return EncodingUtil.convertToHex(bsig).toUpperCase();        

    }
