Ah.  Nope,  it doesn't set the contact_id attribute on the Enterprise,
it just does an assignment.  

One moment while I check the code....

Nope,  zOGI doesn't support retrieving the contact_id (as contactId).
But it should support writing it,  just set "contactId: 10160" for
example.  Since "contactId" is an attribute known to OGo Logic it should
just set it.

That should be corrected in zOGI r951 (Google Code version).

Ok, that is different than assignments.

Nope, it should work to set contactId in either version.  zOGI stores
attributes as-is unless specific renaming or value mangling is in place
(such as translating attribute names;  objectId becomes companyId,
etc...)
