Key Features & Functionality
Hi,
I are using 1.0.7 and upgraded to Appian 24.2 version in my cloud based instance. I see one error " The amount of time allocated for the completion of an unattended activity was insufficient to allow the activity to complete " . Can somebody help me with it ?
Hello Team,
we are using 1.0.8 and want to upgrade appian 24.2 version in my cloud based instance , is there any issue if we migrate to 24.2 version?
So the plugin that is currently working for your environment is different from the version that is downloadable from the community? How did you manage to install it? Are you in cloud or on premise?
For now we fixed by updating existing plugin with updating the Free Marker Jar with required version.
Hello gauravl7665 , I asked our partner to test this plugin in their environment that is running Appian 24.2 . The latest plugin version 1.1.1 seems to be working in their environment. What plugin version are you trying to run in your 24.2 environment?
Have you received any feedback on your question or were you able to solve this? We are struggling with the same issue!Thanks
DOCX Document From Template is throwing error.
Hi gauravl7665 we are using the same plugin and we are going to upgrade to 24.2 too. What is the smart service that thows this error? Docx to PDF or docx from dynamic template?
Hi Team, we are seeing following error after upgrading to latest Appian version 24.2
we are using plugin ver 1.0.12. We have also tried upgrading to latest plugin version, but same error.
Could not initialize class freemarker.ext.dom.NodeModel
com.appiancorp.ps.adt.docx.DocxFromDynamicTemplateWithImgSizeOptions.run(DocxFromDynamicTemplateWithImgSizeOptions.java:92)
We were forced to upgrade to the latest version 1.1.1 when we updated to Appian version 24.2 due to issues with the "DOCX Document From Template" Smart Service timing out and failing in the very old version we were on of the plugin. Once we upgraded the plugin, we then saw similar issues with the PDF generation and the formatting being overlapping and otherwise garbled. In our case we used the "DOCX Document From Template" Smart Service followed by the "PDF Document From DOCX" Smart Service.
A consultant developer working for us discovered we could replace the "PDF Document From DOCX" Smart Service with the "PDF from Single DOCX (with Fonts)" Smart Service from the "Dynamic Document Generator" plugin and everything has appeared to be working and formatting correctly for our particular use cases so far. However, we are on an old version of the dynamic document generator plugin (1.8.5) as well, for now, and have not yet risked an upgrade as we had tried an upgrade years ago of that plugin in the past, and it broke a lot of applications for other reasons, but we have not tried recently to upgrade it to the most recent version.
