[GeoNetwork-users] how to generate UUID for metadata entry

Is it possible to generate UUIDs for entries after they are published? I
imported several with "no action on import" selected.

A more basic question might be, are UUIDs necessary? In the validation
report, it comes up as an error. Although my server is not being harvested
by others at the moment, it will likely be at some point. My understanding
is that UUIDs are necessary in that case.
