Resolution:
A unique ID can be generated using the attached file (Filename: GenerateUUID.zip).
The instructions to use this are:

- Unzip the attached file into the $ASG_HOME/projects/ASG_DefaultImplementation/DefaultImplementation/Rules/CustomStages/ directory. A new dir "GenerateUUID/" with one entry "InsertInLifeCycle.rule" should be created.

- Open the project in ASG Studio and recompile the asg_core.ear file. Be sure to make a backup of the existing one first.

- add an OperationFeature with value "GenerateUUID" to the required Facade Operation

- in all the mappers a new element in the context XML document with key="ms:uuid" should be seen

- The value may be extracted using the XPath.
