  • Cancel a process (or many) from another process without using messaging or MNI

  • Hi Team, 

    Do we have any documentation to refer to ?

    I am trying to use Unarchive Processes smart service and getting result as 1. What does 1 stands for ? Also, I cant see the process getting un-archived. 

    For some cases, I am getting result as -1. What is -1  ? 

    Thanks & Regards,

    Nafis Khan

    Update: The Appian Health Check report was reporting back false positives as high risk. Please ignore my original message.

  • We are using this plug-in, and in Appian health check report it's flagged as high risk because it's referencing the removed/deprecated Appian APIs. So, will there be an update that will address these issues?

  • Trying to install this plug in.  It doesn't open or install.  Can anyone give me some guidance on why it won't install?

  • in reply to jasmairpal

    Hi   are you able to shed any light on this issue. Looks like an issue with converting the Process ID to an Integer due to ".l" extension.

  • I have received an error using the Find Archived Processes Smart Service, my process model is using this based on a date loop to determine the archived processes from a particular start date. This seems to be working for most iterations however on certain dates it returns the following error.

    Is this a known issue? I'm using Appian 19.3 and Process Management Services v2.2.3

    Hi Anu.  The last update that was provided on this plug-in was pre 19.2 however most plug-ins work with newer versions of Appian.  I recommend you post a question with the details of the issue you are facing in the Discussions area.  

  • Hi, I wanted to know if this service is compatible with 19.2 . I am trying to use delete process but it doesn't seems to be working . Please help!!

    Hi Alvaro,

    Just wanted to confirm the latest plugin version (2.2.3) is working on our cloud installation on 19.1, thanks for the update

    Cheers,
    Chris

  • Hi Alvaro,

    I have deployed the latest version (2.2.3) of this plugin to Appian cloud 18.4.  The deployment was successful.  However, it always returns -1 value after I pass the process ID in "Unarchive Processes" or "Unarchive Processes v2".  Would you please confirm if it is working to your end?

    Thanks/Henry
