Are the Easy Access Rules topic IDs stable over the lifecycle of a topic, including when a topic is deleted?
Answer
The EAR content published from the eRules platform in the XML format is divided into topics (the smallest units of information). Each topic has a unique identifier, the ERulesId (e.g., ERULES-1963177438-14838), and this is stable over time. This means that even if the topic title and metadata are changed in new versions, the ERulesId will uniquely identify the topic throughout the lifecycle.
In EASA’s internal system, topics will not be deleted but will be marked obsolete. Should the topic be re-instated in any way, it will have the same ERulesId as before.
