Bulk delete testing processes that are no longer needed
Cancel a process (or many) from another process without using messaging or MNI
Set the status of a process to Cancelled for reporting purposes
Orchestrate node activity
Override or make additions to the security role-map of a list of process instances.

Key Features & Functionality

Smart Services included:

Archive Processes

All the Smart Services must run in a context with Administrator rights and return a result code indicating whether or not the operation was successful.

Would be nice if there were some sort of documentation for what Result Codes mean what. Appian AppMarket

The version input has to be text. It must include the full version number including (for some reason) decimal. So process model version 22 must be written in the smart service as "22.0", etc.

Hi are there any documentation available around this plugin, particularly around Upgrade Processes? i am trying to upgrade processes to a particular version but I keep getting an error

"An error occurred while trying to retrieve the process model [id=7,682] Details: Does not exist: Version"

I have made sure I am providing the correct process model ID. Does anyone have any inputs?

v2.3.0 Release Notes
- Removed use of deprecated APIs. Due to this, REMOVED the following service: Change Process Locale
- Furthermore, Change Model Locale v2 has been REMOVED. Any occurrence of Change Model Locale in you process models must be manually changed to use v3, which can no longer change the locale of existing process instances.
- If you use the functionality to change the locales of existing process instances, which should be exceedingly rare, do not upgrade your plug-in.

Hi Alvaro,

I am trying to unarchive the process (have process id available) by using the smart service Unarchive processes V2 in the process model ,because we have appiancloud .Could you please help us in configuring the value.

1.Node input value : process ids ( I have entered the process id to be unarchived)

2.At Node output , what should be configured in the Result Codes(number(integer)).

I have referred the community documentation , but could not unarchive even after referring those documentation.Any help in this regard is much appreciated .

Hi ,

How did you configure to set language? I got confused with Change Model Locale and Change Process Locale, not sure what is the difference between those two

Hello, I'm using the plugin on an Appian 19.4 server. The "Find Archived Processes by date" node does not find any results no matter what UUID or date i set. Is there any issue with the version or am i missing something? The unarchive node works as expected as well as the archive nodes.
