Class Structure without implementation
Hello,
Need help in understanding class structure generated from application accelerator.
1) For every application do we need to build a framework and implementation layer? The reason for asking this is we have a small project that reads messages from an MQ->does some business logic and write backs to another MQ the outcome. And this application is not re-used across departments. what is the better approach to take for this kind of requirement?
2) If i don't have a need to extend an application across multiple divisions do we still build an framework and implementaion?
Hi Trilok,
As per the best practice while creating application in Pega create Framework only and this would act as your current application for reading MQ messages, in the future you can built any implementation layers.
Hi Trilok,

Irrespective of if you want to extend or not, I see you are implementing some integration which should always be in organizational layer as per Pega's recommendation. So, Create one Org level application and build all your integration rules in OrgInt ruleset in classes Org-Int-XXX something like that. Any application should have this app as built-on app so all applications can re-use all org level integration code not just this integration.
Message me if you need more clarity on this.
Hi, The Application Accelerator is now called the New Application wizard (at least it is in Pega 7 Platform). You can choose to build an application that is either a framework application or an implementation application and not both:

See step 5.
Also, here is some additional information about class layers:

Hope this helps!
