Hi All, Per TRUNK-3108 <https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-3108>, incorrectly merged into TRUNK-2843 <https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-2843>:
In 1.9 we've added a Provider object, but our ORUR01Handler class has not yet been updated to take this into account. Currently, the formentry and xforms modules pass a value for a PV1's provider field like "1^Super User (1-8)", and we interpret the first number as a person_id (pk of the person table), and ignore the name. This is now problematic, because not every person necessarily has a provider associated with them, and some may have more than one. The correct new behavior seems like it would be to instead interpret the first number as a provider_id (pk of the provider table). The downside of this is that R01 messages produced by all existing code would give you the wrong providers. A slightly-hackier, but backwards-compatible way would be to let the authority field of the XCN tell how to interpret the value passed in: - no authority : "legacy mode". Treat as person id (pk of person table) - authority = PROV_ID : Treat as provider id (pk of provider table) - authority = PROV_IDENTIFIER : Treat as provider.identifier (user-specified identifier for the provider) - authority = PROV_ATTR_3 : Look for a provider who has an attribute whose providerAttributeType is 3, and whose value is what's given Thoughts? Alternatives? -Darius _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
