Where can I find a document's or folder's GUID for the FLD_MOVE service?

We are currently migrating to Webcenter Content 11.1.1.6 using FrameworkFolders. We need to integrate with several other systems to check-in and retrieve files and would like to place our content in a folder-based heirarchy. I have been using the Generic Web Service to perform integration functions.

I am trying to use the Folders Services to get information about folders and place files into specific folders.

First of all, if I check in a file using the "CHECKIN_NEW" service, what folder does the file go into? I can search for the file, but it doesn't seem to belong to a folder? As far as I can tell, the only way to retrieve the file is to search for it. Shouldn't it go to some folder by default?

Second, lets say I want to move that file to a folder. The "FLD_MOVE" service seems to be what one would use to place a file into a folder. The parameter (item1) that is used to identify what you want to move can take either a GUID or a path to the file. I can't use a path since the file doesn't seem to have a path. I have tried using the dID and the dDocName as the GUID parameter, but the service always comes back and says my item does not exist.

I can't find any other kind of unique identifier for my document. I have searched and searched for what the GUID could be and how to find out what it is. GUID seems to be specific to the Contribution Folders and Folders Service, as none of the other services reference GUID.

What is a GUID and how can I figure out what a document's GUID is?
