How to Register a Chain App ID for Use with TrxSys API

Everything, every transaction, every rights assigned, etc. is a transaction. A Chain App ID is a transaction of a special type (type = "2") that establishes the transaction as the srat of a new chain of transactions. All data records written to Chain App ID can have rights assigned to individual transactions within that chain or to the entire chain.

There are three methods to create a new Chain App ID.

Create a new transaction of Type = "2", click "Generate New Chain ID" and then click "Go." Instructions for a basic transaction are at... How to: Create a Basic Transaction "Hello World!"
Use the API to create a transaction that will register a new Chain App ID. How to: Use the TrxSys API
Use the instructions below. The following instructions are good if you are familiar with creating TrxSys SaaS style of Chain Apps.

Create the Chain App ID:
A sender_chain_id must be established with a transaction type 2. This is used to open a sender_chain_id. Without this function then it becomes questionable as to when a Chain App ID was established. Therefore, any transaction other than type 2 will require that the sender_chain_id be confirmed as existing and valid.
