write directly from interface to DB

eliav over 8 years ago

Hi All,
I have developed a SAIL interface that is be able to directly write to DB using the function

a!writeToDataStoreEntity(cons!NCContainmentAction,local!newContainmentAction)

the local!newContainmentAction is an object created locally as

local!newContainmentAction:fn!cast('type!{www.pirelli.com/.../appian}NonConformityContainment',{})

This approach is very helpful because we are able to write directly on DB avoiding many other nodes witch, before using this approach, we used to elaborate data and write to DB
It also seems that SAIL code is simpler and faster to manage because we deal with the object and its attributes

I have never seen this kind of approach in Appian SAIL documentation so I would like to understand if it is correct and if you suggest or not to use it

Thank you in advance

Elia

This works, but you can store data only in a saveInto of a SAIL component. Our approach is to only use this if necessary and stay with the "old" way of storing data in process. Most of the time we want to do more things with the data to store and putting complex logic inside a SAIL form makes maintenance tougher.
