Hi
I am using Finance & Operations 10.0.20 and can use the REST API to
CREATE
UPDATE
worker records as long as I have the primary key.
So this URL will works with a PATCH request
https://{host}/data/Workers(PersonnelNumber = '{PERS_NUMBER}')
My issue is when I want to UPDATE a PersonalIdentificationNumber
I do not have a "primary key" so am unable to use the same technique to update an existing entry
Question
How do I update a PersonalIdentificationNumber?
Thanks
Hi Marcus,
You need to update record in PersonalIdentication odata entity.
Hi Parag, thanks for the reply
Yes, that does make sense.
So I think you are saying I have to use a REST CALL to update the WORKER entity and somehow indicate that the related PersonalIdentifcation item will need to be changed..
However, what JSON would be needed for this to work in the PATCH request? I cannot find any information on line with an example to the REST endpoint of
"/data/Workers({primary_key})
The only JSON I have is that for the worker entity itself - which does not include any of PersonalIdentication information.
Thanks

Hi Marcus,
You need to use two tables.
1. Worker
2. HcmPersonIdentification
Here, you have party id as a relation. Based on this, you can update the person identification in HcmPersonIdentification not in worker table.
I hope this helps.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I do not want to change the primary key but rather want to know what it is.
When performing an update of an item using REST, the PATCH request URI must uniquely identify the item to be updated.
Hence one must know the primary key of the item.
When I retrieve all the PersonalIdentification items for a specific Party number (a user in my instance). the response contains values for each Identification item but there is not an element in the returned JSON that represents a primary key for any one value.
Without knowing the primary key of the item I cannot generate a REST URI to do the update - hence the question…
