  • Hi All,

    using 'Import CSV to Database' i need to add extra columns values into table that are not present in csv;

    I can't add this extracolumns into csv file.

    How i can import cvs fie into a table and add for each row additional information ? 

    In case i import the same csv file twice,  i need to differenziare rows of first import from rows fron second import.

    I note 'Import Excel to Database' have additional params as 'New Columns' 'New Columns values' , but i cant use it because i need to parse CSV file and not excel file

    Best regards, Saverio

  • Hi All,

    Is there any other way other than deleting the old version as this seems to manual change for us in 100s of process models and expressions.

    One option could be check outdated dependents after the plugin is deployed with new version of Exportable Data Subset. But I haven't tried it and unsure if that will work. Any other suggestions on upgrading the plugin without deleting the older versions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Arjun.

  • Hi,

    Which format will it support to read date value?

    In excel file I had given, 20-07-2020, when readexcelsheet() function, it returns "2020-07-20 00:00:00" (Year-Month-Date time)

    For input 05-07-2020, it returns "05-07_2020"

    It is behaving differently when date is greater than 12 and less than 12. Which is the correct format to give date in excel file?

  • Hi ,

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

  • Hi
