Create and Manage New Application

Customization in Aras Innovator can consist of modifying existing applications and creating new ones to solve custom business needs. This section describes the main steps that will need to be taken.

A new application normally results in a new AML Package with its own Package Definition. The Package Definition contains all changes made to instances of Aras Innovator.

The process of creating a new Package requires several steps:

1. Create a new Package.
2. Export the Package to the file system, locate the results properly in the Repository directories, and update the manifest file to include not only the existing Packages but also the newly added ones.
3. Assign the new and modified files to the Git Repository with Commit or Stage, including the manifest file.
4. If a new Package is created, it is recommended to use Java naming conventions for Packages (lowercase and dots indicating a hierarchy) and align folder names with the Packages they contain.
