  • Hi unable to deploy if I try to it simply says the plugin failed to deploy 18.4 Cloud.  It also says it will redeploy the application even though no version exists.

  • Hello, A new version has been released. This version should be compatible with 18.3 and 18.4 and working correctly. Thanks.

  • Hi Eduardo/Alvaro,

    We were able to get results from the Find Archived Processes using the latest plugin version on Appian 18.2 but it seems once we upgraded to 18.3 the plugin stopped working. It used to run for a fairly long time (20-30 mins) so you could tell it was processing data in the background but after upgrading the smart service completes instantly and returns no results. Wondering if you guys could have a look to see if changes in 18.3 impacted the functionality? We found this plugin very helpful and it helped avoid us opening support tickets with appian cloud support.

    Thanks,

    Chris

  • Hi Eduardo,

    we installed Process Management Utilities (v2.2.0)  plugin in cloud. I created a process model to unarchive some processes. I tried to use "Find Archived Processes by Date & PM UUID v2", but it returned nothing.

    How I configured was: giving input "Arvhive Date" (eg, 08/01/2018) and "Process Model Uuid" (eg, "0022df77-ba11-9000-f92f-8f0000014e7a".

    Could you help me with this issue please?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Can you post here the details of how you're configuring it?

    Is this Cloud?

  • Hi Eduardo,

    I archived few processes on 05 Jan and now I am trying to retrieve process ids of particular process model of that date by using "Find Archived Processes by date & PM UUID". But getting blank list. Can you suggest what could be the reason or anything else I can try to find the list.

    Thanks.

  • If there's a newer version of the plug-in that works then you should install the new version.

  • Archive Processes smart service is not achieving the processes though giving success return code under Process Management Utilities (v2.0.0) plugin in cloud.

    What could be the reason.

    Though I tried same smart service with latest version com.appiancorp.ps.processmanager-2.2.0.jar in lower non prod cloud then it's working. What could be the reason.
