The value in the ID field is associated with a service definition. This identifier can be used when you are searching for a particular service definition while creating a service order. You can search the service definition by its name, type or unique ID. You can modify the ID only during the migration of old service definition IDs.

During migration, the default value of the ID is -1. You can modify this value using database executable scripts during migration.

The migration scripts enable you to update the existing service definitions with IDs. A csv file that contains the service definition names and their unique identifiers is provided as an input. The migration script reads the names of the service definitions and the corresponding unique identifiers from the file and updates the service definitions in the database service policy table.
