Create a new and random UUID for an API call

When working with an API call, it may be necessary to create a new and valid UUID. This can actually be accomplished in a single line of code.

def order_id = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

This can be sent to the API object as a variable

mydate = new Date()
def order_id = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

//Initialize Order
initialize_order = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('Initialize Order',
    [('order_id') : order_id,
    ('date') : mydate]))
