Creating a solution from scratch

Select solution category

Select the category of solution to be created: the following categories are supported:


Value	Description
Experience API	Experience APIs refer to a solution that will be connected to an external channel for example a mobile or a web-based application
Domain service	Domain services encapsulate the core business logic of a business domain
System API	Refers to solutions that will be integrated to other solutions in order to enhance the functionality of the later.

All options work basically as a flag expressing the overall purpose of the application.

The idea is that, while all of these could easily be incorporated in one big monolith, this would be considered a bad design as any small change would affect the entire solution. In other words, by putting each solution in the corresponding layer, it allows for a modular design where a small change will affect only the altered solution.

Select solution type

Select the type of solution to be created: the following types are supported:


Value	Description
Low Code Solution	In this case you get DDD support to model the domain logic as well as the APIs and the Integration.
Custom Implementation Solution

Select implementation language

Select the implementation language of solution to be created: the following implementation languages are supported:


Value	Description
Typescript	Low Code Implementation with pre-genereated Code based on the modeled business logic Currently only available in combination with the solution type Low Code Solution
Java	Currently only available in combination with the solution type Custom Implementation Solution.

Define solution master data

Finally, you can define the master data of the new application as follows:


Property	Description
Acronym	Application acronym. The acronym must be unique and must not contain more than 8 characters in capital letters and numbers without special characters. Mandatory information.
Name	Name of the solution. Mandatory information.
Domains	Tags to group the solutions in the overview page. Optional Information.
Icon	Name of the image from. Mandatory information.
Description	Description of the solution. Shown in the overview page. Optional information.

Confirming the entries completes the new creation. The system then creates a new solution.

The state of the creation is shown in the solution overview. It shows “Processing” while the Solution is created. In this state you can open the solution, but you cannot proceed any action. In case of an error it is also shown on the solution in the overview. In this case you can open the solution in order to delete it.

If a solution was created successfully it is stated as “New” for the first 24 hours after creation.
