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  • If there's a newer version of the plug-in that works then you should install the new version.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