TUContext.LeftSource and LeftTarget

Question

Dear all, 
 can you help me, please, how the LeftSource and LeftTarget properties in TUContext are calculated? I would like to transfer a TU from one TM to another, and I would like to keep the context information too. Are these hash values calculated just based on the source and target segments, or are other fields (id etc) included in the calculation as well? So, if another TU with the same (same as the referenced one in the source environment ) source and target segment (other fields may be different) exists in the target environment, will the context information be still valid? 
 Thanks in advance, 
 Tamas

Hi, 
 contexts are calculated from the document content when the TU is being added to the TM. So the context actually doesn't have any relation to any other content in the TM and should be safe to move it across without any changes.

Hi Tamas, 
 This means the segment is at the beginning of a document and so there is no previous context. This covers the situation that you want a context match at the beginning of a document also and not only in the middle of a document. 
 Thanks 
 Daniel
