Is there any way to keep a Constant the same value in a particular environment?

The way to do this these days is by using environment specific constants: docs.appian.com/.../Application_Deployment_Guidelines.html

Hello Tyler, this URL is not working anymore. Do you have the latest one?

Thanks, @Kathikeyans75 . That's actually what I'm trying to figure out right now - our environment specific constants were improperly set up so I'm trying to fix it so they don't get overwritten with each migration.

Create constants per environment and access the constants using a rule. The rule that you are calling to get a value should be able to figureout the environment that is being executed and return the value of a specific constant.

@lisak

When you move any existing component the content will get override. For example if u declare constant value of type process model I'd or some other unique keys all environments will have thier unique id defined.

In such case if we try moving a package let's say constant has process model I'd 501 SIT ... after moving it will override in QA .. Anyhow we need to keep a track on post deployment steps like Constant needs to be updated

Thanks ..!!!!!

If the constant is already deployed to QA the first time, what is the need to redeploy it again?
