Hi Mike, First I want to say Kudos!!!! Great Job!!!! Thank you so much!!! We owe you a pizza. I saw the breakout session you did at Appian World and it came at the exact right time.
Second, we are seeing an issue that the report or dashboard that is created cannot be seen in the interface until either the Record is synced manually or it is synced overnight during the scheduled sync. That is alittle concerning when giving this to the users that are to create their own reports that they can't see the report until they ask us to sync the record for them or they have to wait until the next day. We may be missing something so please let me know if that is the case.
Again, thank you for creating this app.
Sounds like your synced record may not be taking advantage of the immediate sync that occurs when you use the Write to Datastore node: docs.appian.com/.../records-data-sync.html
Are you perhaps creating this record using a stored procedure or import from CSV? If so the record won't immediately sync.
Hi Michael, no, the immediate sync still is not working. We are using Microsoft sql server for the database.
Were you ever able to resolve this? Out of curiosity what type of database are you using? It's extremely odd that the manual sync works but the immediate sync does not.
No error and the record does display after we go to the record and manually sync.
Hmm, that's very odd - I haven't seen that issue before. Are you seeing any errors in the process models and is the data store publishing correctly?
Hi Mike, I think you might had misunderstood out issue. We are able to see our synced records on records and in reports. But, when we create a report within the ad-hoc reporting app we can't see the report we created until we sync the Ad-hoc Report record in the ad-hoc reporting app.
