  • We have upgraded our Appian cloud to version 19. Now the plugin seems to be not working. Some functions are no longer available (missing basically). When we tried redeploying the plugin, we get the following error message:

  • The System Has Encountered an Error HTTP Code: 500 APNX-1-4198-019 An Error Has Occurred Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = CZHWMV0I] at function a!adminRouter: An error occurred while executing a save: java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'D'

  • The functions are not missing, they are deprecated and replaced by OOTB functions introduced in 18.4. The existing places where the functions are referenced should continue to work but you should use OOTB functions for all new development.

    Regarding the error, I am not sure how to tie this back to the plugin. Do you have a stack trace from the logs that would help pinning this issue down?
