Pega 7 New Application Wizard Doesn't have a mechanism to introduce a Shared Layer like 6.2 What are the alternatives?
In New Pega 7 new Application Wizard there is no mechanism of introducing a Shared Layer like what 6.2 had. What are the alternative i just don't want to manually create it after generating the application.
Eg:- Lets say my Proposed class structure is :-
Framework:- Org-FW-DeptFW-SharedLayerFW-Work
Implementation:- Org-Div-Unit-Dept-SharedLayer-Work
Now in previous 6.2 Application Accelerator there was a screen where you can specify the Shared Layer in the New wizard there is nothing. Only thing it generates is :-
Framework:- Org-FW-DeptFW-Work
Implementation:- Org-Div-Unit-Dept-Work
Now the only option is to create it and then refactor the class to change the name and create the shared layer manually. But i don't want to go that route. Any Alternatives folks?

Hi Pinaki,
You are right, in 6.2 sp2 there was a tab as 'Class structure' in application accelerator where we can add shared layers indicated by (*). In Pega 7 application express behaves as, for all Nodes after Leaf of ClassGroup means the literal string of shared layers. Only the namesapce will be included, not actual shared layers will be generated.
This is because you have got 'multitenancy' concept in Pega 7 to address the same requirement with better features, you need to install PRPC as multitenancy edition instead of standard edition, and later you can create tenant application which will have a shared app layer.
I think this can be treated as an enhancement request, however you can check below OOTB activities for the possibilities
