New User Registration and CTM
This section discusses integrating New User Registration with a CTM online transaction.
The New User Registration framework consumes CTM. Delivered with your system is the New User Registration CTM transaction called NEW_USER_REGISTRATION. Only one CTM transaction can be set up for New User Registration transaction in your system. You can modify its configuration, but do not change its name.
The New User Registration online transaction can be combined with any other CTM online transactions. In fact, performing an online transaction might be done by anybody in the world, therefore unknown by your system (unknown user or guest user), or by somebody that already has a User ID and a password (returning user).
When a user profile is created for a guest through New User Registration, an EMPLID is not associated. Once authenticated to your system, CTM allows the guest to complete a subsequent online transaction without having an ID (EMPLID) assigned. This is because the CTM transactions are keyed by Temporary ID (SCC_TEMP_ID) and not EMPLID. After the guest saves or submits the CTM online transaction, Search/Match is triggered and creates or identifies an EMPLID. When New User Registration is combined with a CTM online transaction, CTM also updates the user’s user profile with the EMPLID retrieved or created by Search/Match.
