@uashok93How about incrementing from 1? This function is all about just the unique id right? & How about number of characters?

@Sai GuggillaCase ID generation has been changed since Pega v8.3. You can find detail here - https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/case-id-generation-mechanism
In short, follow the below steps:
1. Create a DSS idGenerator/ID-/batchSize with value as 1.
2. Restart the server.
3. Use Work.GenerateID activity and pass the prefix as ID-.
