Thanks a lot

I understand this script is used by CPS to create id's for the proxies to documents
these proxies circulate different workspaces in CPS (passed from private per-user spaces to common spaces, mostly)
The Id being generated in private-spaces, it would be possible that at one point there will be a clash when the proxies are moved to the common spaces, am I right?

I'm thinking of something like a global counter, somehow stored by computeId, incremented for each document.
