  • 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.

    Regards,
    Sandhya

  • 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 ?

  • Hi Shala,

    can you please change this part of code  bellow to let the user choose File Encoding.

    DatabaseUtils.exportBufferedDataToFile

    bw = Files.newBufferedWriter(Paths.get(filePath), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

    thanks.

  • We are unable to load special characters (from German language - ex. "ü") using the Import CSV to Database Smart Service. We are encountering error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: IOException reading next record: java.io.IOException: (line 5) invalid char between encapsulated token and delimiter"

  • Hi, 

    Issue resolved (sort of) - open and save source excel manually before using merge service.

    Regards

  • Release Notes - v2.2.20
