  • Hi,

    We are getting below High Risk when we run the health check.

    Excel Tools (com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools) references private Appian APIs
    [private] com.appiancorp.common.xml.XmlBeanSerializer.populateObject(java.lang.Object, org.w3c.dom.Node)

    1 plug-in is using Appian APIs that are deprecated, private or have been removed. Plug-ins using APIs that have been removed from the latest Appian version will fail to function after an upgrade. Plug-ins using private APIs are not supported and risk breaking during an upgrade or between hotfixes. Plug-ins using deprecated APIs require refactoring to use alternative APIs as they will be removed and stop working in a future release.

  • Hi,

    after updating the plug-in to the latest version we get the following error in one of the features:
    Error Evaluating UI Expression Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = d2a80:fc853] in rule 'ais_cases' : The function 'getdatasubsetdownloadlinkfromprocess' is unavailable.

    Do we need to make an update in the feature to update this model to point to the new version {urn:com:appian:ps:excel:types}ExportableDataSubset ?
