## GENCODE_PARAM_ID

You should already have a good understanding of Web-Activator Communication and Web-Activator Configuration File Usage.

The GENCODE_PARAM_ID parameter specifies the parameter identifier that will be used to identify the GenCode parameter that you must assemble for the Web-Activator.

To clarify, in the HTTP request parameter string "?ident=123", "ident" is the "identifier".

###### Behaviour:

- The Web-Activator will only attempt to parse the value associated with the correctly identified query parameter as the GenCode parameter. If the GenCode parameter is incorrectly identified, the Web-Activator will be unable to generate an Activation Code. See: Web Interface URL Format for more information about the GenCode parameter.

###### Allowable Values:

- This can be any string which is allowable as a query parameter identifier. Do not use any special characters or spaces. Keep the parameter identifier brief.

###### Default:

- user_text

###### Examples:

- Where you have in the Configuration File:
  GENCODE_PARAM_ID=GC
  You would call the Web-Activator using the GenCode parameter identified by the string "GC" like this:
  <Host>/CGIACodeGen.exe/GenCode?GC=*F*LicenseFileV1.lpj*C*ED19-FBCD-EEB6-D0D0*P*0*CFG*config4.txt
  Or, like this:
  <Host>/CGIACodeGen.exe/GenCode?someparam=1234&GC=*F*LicenseFileV1.lpj*C*ED19-FBCD-EEB6-D0D0*P*0

- Where you have in the Configuration File:
  GENCODE_PARAM_ID=MyParam
  You would call the Web-Activator using the GenCode parameter identified by the string "myParam" like this:
  <Host>/CGIACodeGen.exe/GenCode?MyParam=*F*LicenseFileV1.lpj*C*ED19-FBCD-EEB6-D0D0*P*0
