 Best Practices for Appian developers

Appian best practices are like a check list, use these checklists at different stages of your development cycle as described to ensure application success and reduce technical risk. Each section provides guidance for when and how often you should use these.

12.Best practices for Creating Integration :-

Connected Systems :-

1.Name must be unique

2.Ensure that proper security is configured

3.Ensure the authentication is configured

4.Use API Key for authentication as API key has good performance than basic authentication

Integration :-

1.Maintain passwords in import customization properties files

2.Check whether the connected system is used to share credentials across multiple integrations

3.Handle integration errors based on the error codes returned by the Integration object

4.Ensure that custom logic is built to capture the integration errors and alert the admins about the failures like assigning a task to admin or send mail to admin

5.Combined size of the files in the request body of a single integration cannot exceed 75MB.

6.Request bodies over 5 MB cannot be processed and will cause the integration to return an error. However, the file size of documents being sent do not count towards this limit.

7.Ensure that proper security has configured

8.Use Integration object when REST/HTTP protocol is used.
