Constant fetching value even after deletion.

Amit Mishra over 7 years ago

I observed a strange behavior in Appian 16.2,
A constant value is reflecting in one interface whereas I have deleted that constant permanently few days ago. I re-verified and that constant was nowhere in the environment. Also, I tried creating a new constant with same name and it was not showing any error like “Name already exists” which is surprising. Once new constant with same name created then the new value reflected in the interface.
Is this an Appian bug? or, Why is it happening?

3. Restarting Appian/JBoss also does not remove the references to the deleted design objects(rules/constants). After server restart also, the reference will be there and running process instances/and dependent interfaces will continue to work.

Some may find this weird.
But, its a good decision - in respect to robustness of the system.
