Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a content server which is coupled to a secure enterprise content management repository (a docbase), a request for a set of new repository object identifiers for the docbase, each of the new repository object identifiers having an identifier structure that infers at least a docbase identifier and a unique object identifier;
determining, by the content server, whether a maximum number of repository object identifiers for the docbase has been allocated, the maximum number comprising a number of unique values that can be represented by a number of bits of the unique object identifiers;
responsive to a determination by the content server that the maximum number of repository object identifiers for the docbase has been allocated,
generating, by the content server, a partition identifier,
updating, by the content server, a sequence table in the docbase with an entry storing the docbase identifier combined with the partition identifier, wherein the sequence table stores attributes used by a sequence generator to generate and assign a repository object identifier and wherein the attributes include a current value of allocated identifiers, the repository object identifier comprising an N-bit representation, and
allocating, by the content server, the requested set of new repository object identifiers, wherein the set of new repository object identifiers uses the entry of the sequence table storing the docbase identifier combined with the partition identifier; and returning the requested set of new repository object identifiers.
