 Can someone from the Appian product team help me with the best practices on limiting the number of unpublished/patch application packages in an environment . 
 And what are the impacts for having too many (500 +) inactive applications</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Impact on having too many unpublished applications in an environment</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61073?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Oct 2018 14:32:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:f9fab9ea-9859-4568-892f-012e7eb102f1</guid><dc:creator>laurenc20</dc:creator><description>I am not aware of and major downside to having unpublished applications. It would make sense as to have your objects grouped together in a logical way. A downside could be slowness during certain system processes.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Impact on having too many unpublished applications in an environment</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/57836?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:00:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:f3b18ac8-e1c9-4bab-9c24-55c0d49bcbd8</guid><dc:creator>ChristineLHutchison</dc:creator><description>The impact is more around doing things like updating CDTs. In previous versions (would need to verify on later ones 18+), objects in applications were inspected. So, the more you have, the longer the impact analysis and update took.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Impact on having too many unpublished applications in an environment</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/57744?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jul 2018 05:23:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b44e33b1-c90a-4632-a063-e4064f089f66</guid><dc:creator>subhankarb</dc:creator><description>&lt;a href="/members/jeremys"&gt;jeremys&lt;/a&gt; .

One way to limit the amount of inactive/unpublished applications is to use a dedicated deployment application. Instead of creating an application for every patch, you can just re-use a single application and flush out the objects before each use. This may make it harder to trace objects to a particular patch, but it will reduce the amount of inactive/unpublished applications sitting in your environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can also go through and delete older applications.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
