partytypeid = person how?
Hi,
I am following the createEmployee flow of partymgr and trying to establish
where the partyTypeId is set to 'PERSON'. I am looking to change that to a
sub type called 'EMPLOYEE' that I have created. I could figure out how
alternative flow for 'PARTY_GROUP' is set , but unclear on how 'PERSON' is
set. Would really appreciate pointers.

What you might want to do is create a SECA that is triggered on
PartyRole update. If the change isn't allowed, then return an error or
failure.

Hi Arays,
Following Book will help you. 'Chapter 2 - People and Organization' is
specially for Party.

Thanks Adrian. I figured it would be easier to stick to using 'Role' than
PartyType to limit the number of changes and be reasonably close to the
trunk codebase. I would have liked a way to fix a role that can't be changed
or dropped (essentially achieving the same effect as my original intent of
picking a partyType) and my next steps would be to try and fix that sort of
thing.

Employee is a party role, not a party type.
It would be less work for you to use the existing functionality.

Alight! Was able to dig it up in the line below
Map<String, Object> newPartyMap = UtilMisc.toMap("partyId", partyId,
"partyTypeId", "PERSON", "description", description, "createdDate", now,
"lastModifiedDate", now, "statusId", statusId);
>From what it looks like this is hardwired to "PERSON". I am guessing there
must be a reason behind it and perhaps it is best left that way. So for my
requirement thinking the simplest way is perhaps to just use roles for now.
Still have to worry about broken workflows if someone where to change the
roles downstream . Any suggestions?
