    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?

  • 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:

  • Hi, having followed the guide above where to un-deploy all existing group plugins and user & group management plugins prior to deploying peoplefunction v1.9, we still encountered issue.

    even though the v1.9 deployed successfully, it later on dis-able itself due to existing registered function called groupprofilerecordtypesource . But this function is not listed as one of the function in this peoplefunction v1.9.

    Can you please confirm if groupprofilerecordtypesource  is included in this 1.9 version?

    below is error message from the server

    (ServerService Thread Pool -- 78) 2018-10-03 09:52nager.DefaultPluginManager - There was an error loading the descriptor 'Groupprofilerecordtypesource' of plugin 'psshared.peoplefunctions'. Disabling.

  • Looks like this plugin is still referencing deprecated API.

    People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references deprecated Appian APIs

    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

  • - The download version has been corrected on the AppMarket.  It should be v1.9 now.  

  • Hi, downloaded plugin version shows psshared.peoplefunctions-1.8. Is this correct?

    Link below shows plugins version as psshared.peoplefunctions-1.9.jar
