EvF077 - Create Site - Unique site key could not be created

Error message

The Create Site functionality could not create a unique site key. The session was &1.

Parameters

&1 - Session ID for the session running the Create Site wizard

Description

When creating a site a unique site key is generated using an algorithm (as we do not want the site key to be predictable we cannot just use the normal surrogate numbers).
There is a theoretical possibility that this algorithm will generate keys, which are already in use. If this is the case, the function will attempt a number of generations - but to avoid a possible endless loop it will stop after a limited amount of attempts.

Action

Part of the input to the site key generation is the time of the generation request - trying again should result in a new unique key.
If this error does still occur - please contact Websydian Support, as the function running the algorithm must contain an error.

Comments

The risk of this happening is extremely small.
