PolicyCenter mapping of externally specified unique IDs

PolicyCenter specifies unique IDs for the contacts it creates and sends to ContactManager. ContactManager uses these unique IDs for the new contact’s LinkID value rather than creating its own unique ID.

The PolicyCenter ContactMapping class defines the following mapping for the unique ID of a contact that is to be created in ContactManager:

fieldMapping(Contact#ExternalID)
  .withMappingDirection(TO_XML)
  .withABName(EXTERNAL_UNIQUE_ID),
