Deployment of first solution on-premise

Hi,
Could you please check the following link:
forum.appian.com/.../Application_Deployment_Guidelines.html

Sudhak, the deployment guidelines should be similar, but this is the corresponding link from the documentation for Appian 7.9. Please be more specific with any questions you may have on deployment or regarding what you see in the documentation.

thank you. Specifically looking for common pitfalls to be aware of and if there are guildelines on how to resolve them.

Some off the cuff thoughts:
- Ensure that security and data management settings are configured for all objects
- Verify that no security is set to an individual user account so that it will not cause issues in migration
- Run a healthcheck on the app prior to migration
- Verify that custom properties files match in both environments (not including any intentional configuration differences)
- Make SQL mods prior to app import
- Always inspect app before import
- Modify any environment specific objects

Great! Thanks!

1. Create a separate package for CDTs and data store.
2. Create other artifacts in a different package.
3. Import the CDT package first and then the other one.
4. Do not add users in your package until and unless the user is already present in the target system. It is a good practice to use groups.

ah good point. Now does this impact any of the dynamic group creations? I suppose no... we are creating dynamic groups and users (already visible to appian). That should still work fine.. correct? after the import/export..

Could you give more details on this?

we have used a smart service the created groups at the time the process runs (as per some conditions and data it sees at run time)... I suppose we don't have to worry about those as long as the users are available and visible inside the appian tool..
