Good afternoon, I need to create an Any Type variable in a process to maintain the format. For example, I will send rule!example from the source and I want it to be preserved. It works between rules with Any Type variables, but I can't do it in the process. Does anyone know a way to create Any Type variables in a process? Thank you very much

My user input task has multiple upload files fields and multiple fields. The user should be able to submit each file field without finishing the task. How should that be done if always after submission, the task just is done? By the way the submituploadedfile() is not available for tasks.

What to know if we can prevent multiple schedulers from firing when the server is down and then restarted? In our case we are using End User Reporting module, which has a time interval based Scheduler which runs every 15 mins. Our application servers are down outside office hours. If there is an notification schedule during the outage time, then on server startup the notifications get sent out 100 or more times, due to all the missed schedulers firing again on startup. For the fixed time schedulers we have used Advanced Condition on the timer to fix this problem. But we cannot use the same for a time interval based scheduler.

am encountering the following issue when attempting to start the Appian server as a local instance for plugin development: Error when running engine scripts ERROR com.appian.komodo.engine.KLicenseVerifier - Error starting K: null As per the possible solutions mentioned in the KB article, I have already: Requested and applied a new long team license to my local instance. Verified that there have been no changes in the following: The operating system. The CPU count. The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Ensured that no more than one hostname resolves to the local network IP of the machine where the license is installed.

Good morning. Is there any way to know, using the ID of an object, what its dependencies are and which application it belongs to from a rule? Thank you very much.

Hi  We recently encountered the following alert in the Operations Console:“You have robot(s) using an outdated auto-login service. Please reinstall the robot(s) to avoid disruptions. The outdated version will be unsupported in a future release.” However, we have already updated to the latest versions: Agent Version: 9.14 Java Version: 17.0.12 Has anyone else faced this issue, and if so, what steps were taken to resolve it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. or agent re installation will work? Thank you!

Hello  I am going thru Appian course to build a robot as Appian evaluation process. A robot shows as online and has been added to a Robot Pool, but when I attempt to use RPA I get message "No Robots Available". Following are screenshots. Please advise? Thank you gary

On an interface, I am setting the following validation using regular expressions. The format is [3-digit number] - [4-digit number]. Therefore, for example, if I enter a phone number like "080-0000-0000" here, a validation error will occur as shown below.Naturally, when I press the button, it doesn't submit and it stays on that page. However, a phenomenon occurred where nothing was submitted and the page changed.Since it cannot be reproduced, it is difficult to determine the cause.Do you know the cause? (Sorry for the screenshots written in Japanese.)

I have a documentDownloadLink, when user click on the link, it always calls a white screen and last for few seconds, after white screen disappear, the document starts download. Is the white screen expected? Or can it be overcame somehow?

Hi Community, has anybody managed to decode (extract claims) a JWT in Appian? I'm looking at the decodeJWT() function from the JWT Plugin (provided by Appian), but it confuses me that instead of the externalSystemKey, it requires url of a JWKS repository. I have no clue how to create or access one in Appian.  I have the private key (used to sign the token) and public key (that is used for token verification by validatejwtsignature) stored in Appian as Third-Party Credentials.I'm able to generate the token (createtokenwithcustomclaims) and validate the token (validatejwtsignature) but don't know how to extract the claims from token. Complete picture (to answer why I'm using JWT) - I'm trying to integrate an Appian Portal into a third-party application that handles user authentication - I need to exchange some data (third-party app -> Appian app) and decided to utilize JWTs (the data is not confidential - we need only to ensure repudiation

Are there any official, generic guide lines when it comes to retention of information stored in the database and the documentation stored in knowledge centers (when to archive, eliminate, how to handle such situation)? It's obvious we'd have to tailor it to our specific application but I wanted to start by observing any suggestions given by Appian.  Best Regards.

Hi all - We're Using Reactivate User to procedurally reactivate accounts for re-hired contractors - but we also need to reset their passwords, as they're all accounts that previously utilized SSO.  In the past, the old accounts would have been left by the wayside and we would have just created them new ones (thus adding to the clutter-pile of disused accounts), but now we're able to change their username, which is a strong positive in general. The problem: Our customer / stakeholders are STRONGLY against forcing users to undergo the multiple clicks necessary to do a manual "forgot password" request on the sign-in page, and to be fair, nothing was "forgotten" in this case.  The days of having the "change password" smart service via plug-in are sadly long-gone, but we don't even have a way to procedurally kick off an automated password reset for a particular user.  Why? Edit: this issue is now satisfied thanks to the newer plug

Hello, We are trying to set up an integration with OneSpan Sign. When i set up Web API Authentication > Appian OAuth 2.0 clients> The Client Secret is auto-generated and is 356 characters. the Client Secret in OneSpan Sign has a limitation of 256 characters. How do we address this?

I created a simple RecordType and defined relation with User for createdBy and modifiedBy. I added recordlist to new Site. It was working few days back. Today I am getting the following error.  Nothing has changed in last few days. The Requested Record Type Is Not Available Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = HE53D] at function a!recordList: An error occurred while retrieving the data for "User". Details: Record type is marked as synced, but its data has not yet been synced or its existing synced data has been invalidated. Contact your system administrator. (APNX-1-4198-000). Synced the recordtype few times through manual or data edits through data preview screen. Please help me with why this is happening today? 

Hi All, Can you please help me how to get the intersection of  Lists of array (number array). So I have a list of  number array which I construct in the interface. I need to only pick the common element  present in all the number array . I tried with loop and reduce function but not getting the actual result . It has been achieved by taking an array element and loop over other other array and check if present in all array then keep it or remove it which I feel is very dirty way of doing .  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks  Manish

two different users with the same interface and with the same input values ...the output is showing different. what could be the reasons for this ? please help logic built- input type used  is date field - user will be able to select date and from that selected date onwards it will exclude public holidays and weekends and will return the date of  first 20 business days.  for most of the users the output is as expected BUT for some users it is showing wrong output.

I'm trying to connect to a system called QuickBooks that requires oauth 2.0 in order to access information from it. I know that appian allows "oauth 2.0: client credential grant", in order to connect just with one global account for all the user to retrieve  the information. But "oauth 2.0: client credential grant" is not available in QuickBooks online at the current moment, I can only access through the "oauth 2.0: authorization code grant". The site lets me get tokens that I could use for a period of time  and I would like to see if there is a way to pass those tokens The way that QuickBooks works is:   1:the  site  can give me an access token (valid for 60 minutes) and a  refresh token (valid for 100 days). 2 the refresh token needs to send a request in order to obtain the new access token.  Because of this  I'm trying to figure out  a  way to pass this tokens throu
