itemtypes from backoffice

[former_member621988]

lets say i am creating an itemtype from the backoffice with the generate code option to true. Where would that generated code be present?

Hi Rajat - The definitions of the Runtime Types are stored in the database. Since the Runtime Types do not have definition in items.xml (as they are only defined in runtime in Backoffice), their definitions can not be restored in case of system initialization and therefore, Hybris discourages its use.

Hi ,

You cannot create types at runtime. Creating new entities of type ItemType should not be done in fact.
