Assigning $ident to items pulled from VCS

$clist.$sendall($ref.Salutation.$assign(‘Greetings’),ktrue):

I am automating some builds out of the VCS in Studio 6.0.3.

I can read the records from the Postgres VCS database and assign $classdata to a class I just created in the new library.

The problem is that it doesn’t maintain the same $ident, so later is not identified as being the same component, because this is apparently done by $ident rather than $name, which makes sense. I’ve tried to assign the $ident of the component, or find a way to create it in the new library with a particular $ident to no avail.

I’ve been trying to determine how the VCS gets data out of the VCS and into an Omnis library and maintains the $ident. I have an unlocked copy of the VCS but I’m not finding out how to set the $ident for my local library.

Anyone done this before?
