Hi,

The People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) plug-in has been flagged in the health check report as high risk. The following private and deprecated Appian APIs are being referenced:

[private] com.appiancorp.core.expr.portable.string.Strings.isNullOrEmpty(java.lang.String)
[deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

Could you please review this and let us know if there are any plans to address these dependencies in future updates?

Thank you in advance!

The version 1.16.0 gets flagged in health check report as medium risk due to dependency on deprecated APIs:

People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references deprecated Appian APIs
[deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

The version 1.16.1 gets flagged in health check report as high risk due to dependency on deprecated and Private APIs:

People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references private and deprecated Appian APIs
[private] com.appiancorp.core.expr.portable.string.Strings.isNullOrEmpty(java.lang.String)
[deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

Wanted to confirm plans for removing this dependencies from future upgrades.

Thanks

Something in the download is getting it blocked by my network security. I don't have trouble with most plugins like PDF Tools, etc.

We have recently upgraded People functions to v1.16.0 as the previous versions v.1.10.0 and v 1.15.0 were being flagged in Health check with High/Medium Risk for containing Removed/Private/Deprecated Appian APIs. However, even after the upgrade the Plugin is being flagged in health check for using Deprecated APIs:

People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references deprecated Appian APIs
[deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

Hoping to understand if there any plans for remediating the usage of deprecated APIs in upcoming upgrades, and if 1.16.0 would be compatible with Appian 24.3

Hi,
Wanted some confirmation that whether all the functions in v1.15.0 will be working in Appian 24.1 version.

I am encountering the following error in the health check report with the most recent version of the plugin (1.15):

Error - com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext).

Has this issue been addressed in the latest version? Thank you!

getParentsOfGroups - this function is running slowly, taking minimum 2 seconds to a maximum of 400 seconds, caused our entire test region to go down for an hour by consuming all AJP threads, any suggestions or replacements available to achieve the same? The requirement is to get the parent groups of a group (for which this function looks to serve the best, but at the cost of 100% resources,lol.) Please suggest any workaround.

We are facing few issues with people functions 'groupprofilerecordtypesource' in Dev region: "The Requested Record Type Is Not Available An error occurred while retrieving the data for "Groups". Details: Expression evaluation error in rule 'recordsource' at function 'groupprofilerecordtypesource' [line 11]: The passed parameter(s) are of the wrong type. Received the type com.appiancorp.common.xml.JaxbConversionException: JAXB failure trying to convert typed value TypedValue[it=1474,v={TypedValue[it=1478,v={{{groupType,groupType,1},{name,name,1},{description,description,1},{securityType,securityType,1},{privacy,privacy,1},{membership,membership,1},{created,created,1},{lastModified,lastModified,1},{parent,parent,1}}}],TypedValue[it=1154,v={groupType,=,,TypedValue[it=3,v=Business Role],<null>}],{1,50,{{name,1}}}}] to java class com.appiancorp.common.query.Query. (APNX-1-4205-003)".

Upon investigation, we found that the people function plugin was upgrade on 06/10/2022 in Dev region, while in the other regions the Plugin was upgraded last week.(Completed 4 Appian upgrade post October)
This discrepancy is suspected to be the potential cause for the issue.
Is it possible to downgrade the plugin to previous version?
