Since any BPM tool like Appian follows BPMN Standards, I wonder why we don't have the error event in Appian process models. If I want to handle errors or exceptions in process models, how can I do it..?? for example : I have a write to data store entity smart service in my process model and for some reason like data length exceeds, the activity got failed, now in this situation, I want to add a exception flow which will create a user task to correct the entered data or lets say in my process model, I have an activity which is not so important, but if it fails to execute I don't want my process model to be paused, I want it to continue further ( we can do this in Appian by making the acitivity as subprocess, but is there any other way to avoid the subprocess)

Hi, I have a requirement to send about 1000 mails based on number of records updated. I am trying to send using MNI. I tested for 600 records at once and most of the process breaks and got error alters. I reduced the batch size to 150 then it works fine. But if the data is about 200 then the process starts to break.  The error is Failed to send email. Is there any limit to send mail. Is there any other way to send mail efficiently. Please let me know. Thanks

I have a question regarding the ACD101 exam session. At the exam before last (August 9, 2024), I participated in a session using the "Go to" system from my browser, but the proctor told me to download the "Go to" app.When I was confused and couldn't figure out how to do it, a "Zoom" meeting link was sent to me via chat, so I continued the exam "Zoom" meeting. Therefore, for the last exam (August 17, 2024), I downloaded the "Go to" app in advance and participated in the session.However, I couldn't connect to proctor and ended up deleting the "Go to" app.After that, I accessed the "Go to" meeting link sent via chat and was finally able to speak with the proctor. Has anyone had a similar experience? My PC's communication environment was perfect, so I don't know what measures I should take next time I take the exam to be able to successfully enter the session.(I feel like I can access it from the browser

hi,  I have a record list from  excel sheet which will be uploaded from interface Excel sheet record1 : id:1,name:"A" record2: id:2,name:"B" record3: id:3,name:"A"  Database :  record1 : id:"A01",name:"A" The record list in the excel has to go to the data base with new updated id , based on validating existing record in the database.  Updated list should be like  record1 : id:"A02",name:"A"  -> increments because this name already exists record2: id:"B01"name:"B"  -> starts with 1 because , it is not available in the database yet record3: id:"A03",name:"A"  I am trying to lay out a design with out using loops for the records in the excel sheet as they might be huge. Can you provide any optimized design solution for this ?
