Appian Associate Developer (ACD100) — Question 26

You need to update the table structure in the database, and then update the related CDT in Appian to publish the data store entity.
Column names in the database and the CDT are implemented using different naming conventions.
Which statement is appropriate in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. You can update the CDT columns in Appian Designer, or update the CDT-related XSD and create a new version from that.
• B. You must update the CDT columns in Appian Designer.
• C. You don’t need to make any manual changes. Appian automatically updates the CDT according to database chances.
• D. You must update the CDT-related XSD and create a new version from that.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because updating the CDT-related XSD is essential when the database column names differ from the CDT naming conventions. This ensures that the CDT accurately reflects the database structure. Options A and B do not fully address the requirement of changing the XSD, while option C is incorrect, as Appian does not automatically update CDT based on database changes.
