Excel Tools

Is there an issue with the excel import smart service in 19.4?  Was working fine in 18.2.  I get the following error:  ???ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier
???

Hi johnh0011 - can you please provide some more context for when you're getting this error and what's not working?

Hi, I am using date format like "2020-08-12" or "2020-08-12 03:43:13" in "Import CSV to DB", but get the error message "Date Format must be one of the following 'yyyy-MM-dd', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', 'HH:mm:Ss'",

Can anybody help me out?

Hi Bhargav Solanki,

We are using Appian Cloud Environment, So do we still need to delete ExportableDataSubset CDT?

Yes, please delete the old plugin, then please delete all old versions of the "ExportableDataSubset" CDT 
After that, deploy paste the new file in the folder.
Then update your model to point to the new version {urn:com:appian:ps:excel:types}ExportableDataSubset.

while tried using the plugin version 2.7.7 on Appian 20.1 Cloud there were no issues reported on process model but on log found below error

2020-06-02 08:09:22,051 [Appian Work Item - 4821 - execution00 : UnattendedJavaActivityRequest] ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools.smartservice.ImportCsvToDatabase5 - Unknown column 'ID' in 'field list'
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown column 'ID' in 'field list'

But the column ID exists on .csv file and Db table as first column.

Bhargav Solanki , we have older installed on premise env. And the newer version file name is "com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools-2.2.7.jar". 

How do we install this new version on our on-permise? we have already used smart services from this plugin on few PM.

1. Do we delete the old plugin on _plugin folder and place the new file? 

2. or can the new file exisits along with the old plugin ?

please suggest

Hi Bhargav,

Is this plugin not compatible with 19.4 yet? I'm trying to use it in 19.4. When I executes the process, it completes successfully, but data doesn't seem to import into DB.

I tried both 'Import Excel to database' and 'Import CSV to database' with no success.

Not sure if anyone facing similar issues.

Hi,

Hi April.  When I execute the excel import task in my work flow, it errors out with the above mentioned error.  The error hints at the smart service not correctly reading the column names in the first row of the excel.  Similar to trying to run this query on a DB: select "" from [table].
