  • Hi ,

    We have installed the latest version but still we are receiving the same error: PLUGIN ERROR : java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /apps/appian/_admin/accdocs1/6055/10008917.rpmsg

    Also, the plugin is able to read the outlook msg file but not the attachments associated to it

  • Sure. Thanks for the update

  • Hi ,

    Creating the folder manually may not fix the error because the accdocs1 folder is handled within Appian to manage user documents. Since this issue is persisting in your Test Environment only, the issue might be with your environment. Kindly contact Appian for this.

  • Hi , thanks for the update. The folder /6055 is missing. Do we need to create the folder manually?

  • Hi Ferosha,

    Please refer to my previous comment and let us know. We are also trying to reproduce the issue from our side. As for the Error message repetition issue, we have fixed the issue and will make the submission ASAP

    Thanks

  • Hi , requesting for an update

  • Hi Ferosha,

    The FileNotFoundException occurs when the specified file does not exist in the directory or there is no access to the file. Kindly check whether the file is present in the directory and there is sufficient access to the file.

  • Hi ,

    The plugin is able to read the msg file and populate all the outputs except generated document and attachments. We can see new documents in the folder where attachments would be read by the plugin and stored in, but the variables were not populated. It is also not generating the HTML document corresponding to the msg file

    The plugin is able to read the MSG file and it is populated almost all the outputs, except the generated document and attachments.
    We have 2 scenarios:
    1. The msg file does not contain any attachments; in this case we can see the new generated document in the folder where the new files are stored, but the plugin throws the previous state error.
    2. The msg file contains attachments; in this case we can see the attachments in the folder where the new files and attachments are stored, but we cannot see the generated msg file and the plugin throws the mentioned error.
