Use of libraries in Appian

terryw

Perhaps a silly question but I'm wondering what others are doing as far a creating libraries in Appian.  Typically in other languages one would separate commonly used code into a library so that the code exists in only one location and that it can be used by other applications. 

In Appian are developers typically creating multiple libraries based on functionality or simply creating a single library to house the commonly used code?

Thanks,
Terry

  • Generally there are 2 applications where one is published and the other is not. The unpublished holds all the interfaces and rules that don't need to be published to keep them in one place. Things like CDTs, Datastores and Records are in the published application. It is a different structure then other libraries and it can vary from company to company on what structure they want to have their applications in.
