Any article related to the whole design concept?

If the record is being updated by one appian app and being consumed by Appian then I don’t see a problem of data being obsolete . Yes if there is a third party is updating the data then you would need some type of trigger to sync the record. May be a webApi to inform that data has been updated and you need to sync the record again

Thanks. Pretty nice. But what about I have a Record type in my app and it is need to be used by anothers appian app? Or maybe the data synced is updated by third partes in the database.

Data Locking Strategies have a look at this article by Appian. This might be of some use to you.

Hi. In sync recordtypes what are the approaches when there are several apps that need to access the same data? Write and read. How the concurrence is handled if data is synced in distinct data fabric. When data in an app is read and another is writting at same time, so the first one is obsolete?

In database design is called concurrency control.

,That question is what any developer should ask himself when he has to decide what type of structure to use in his application (CDTs, Synced records...)

Check the link posted by Mathieu Drouin .. there you will find the information needed to understand when to use synced records.

Take a look at this which explains the benefits of using synced Record Types.

Hi Darwin Pou ,

In the video at 02:02, they discuss the Source filter (also known as the sync filter). For more information, refer to the below documentation.

Records-filter-source-data

For more comprehensive information on data fabric and its usage, please refer to the documentation below.

Not that I have come across.

RE: Synced RecordTypes or Unsynced RecordTypes (Disabling sync and features) or DataStore Entities(CDT)

Darwin Pou — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 02:54:16 GMT

In that context. Is there any documentation related to split up data in recordtype based on a date field just like it is explained in this video in minute 02:02 youtu.be/FvA3oezAVcg

With the way Appian is evolving, in my opinion using recordtypes makes your application future proof and also make your enviornment fit for Process HQ and other new features being introduced by Appian.
Right now limitation is 4 million records. but with right filters you can sync lot more data. They have also planned to get the limit increased to 10 million.

Unsynced records

RE: Synced RecordTypes or Unsynced RecordTypes (Disabling sync and features) or DataStore Entities(CDT)

This means that depending on what you need to do, you will use synced records, unsynced records, or DSEs with CDT's..

Mixed Use Case. Do you mean unsynced recordtypes?. Do you have related documentation for developer?

I'm trying to test a Parent interface with a list and Child interface for CRUD.

hi Darwin Pou it all again depends on the data how much are you processing or querying into your application? My thoughts would be.

Smaller or Medium-sized Applications: Synced Record Types balance performance and ease of use.

Large-scale or Complex Applications: DSEs with custom queries and CDTs provide the most flexibility and control.

Mixed Use Cases: Using Record Types with DSEs can blend both approaches, but you’ll need to manage the relationships yourself.
