Hello everyone. I would like to know if it's possible to use Appian as a consumer for a specific Kafka topic. In our very specific case, let's suppose a user updates an address and the message is replicated to multiple systems, through Kafka. Our idea was to enable Appian to consume from this topic and these messages. I tried to configure the Kafka Tools plugin available in the AppMarket, but I can't seem to configure the nodes correctly. I have a demo instance in Confluent Cloud and I was able to do some producer/consumer tests locally and also via Python Client, but I'm not able to consume anything when it concerns Appian. Do we have a better way of integrating with a Kafka topic? Kind regards

I have asked two developers about the best approach for data management in Appian. One usually uses Datastore Entities and other uses Sync Recordtypes. But, I have seen that there is a third configuration where a RecordType is related to a Datastore Entity (this disable recordtypes relationship). Which best approach is my dilemma. I have heard recordtypes limitations related to database (some datatypes capacity limits) schema, 2 millions rows storage limitation and sync issues. I haven't found documentation about best practices for data management. What do you recommend? Some prefers CDT others Recordtypes.

Hi, I'm currently working on an interface where I display data queried from a record type and store it in a local variable. I'm then looping through this local variable to display the content Now I would like to modify my expression so that it only shows 5 records at a time, with next and back navigation buttons to show next set of records, similar to the functionality in a read-only grid. Can anyone please guide me how to achieve this?

I have a requirement where the processes are scheduled within a range of 12 hours, let's say 3 PM to 3 AM, with a time gap of 1 hour. So my batch process should start at 3 PM but after first instance it should be triggered after every 1 hour till 3 AM. Is there any way we can achieve this using Timer event? Also, I am recording the scheduled date and time in the database. Is it possible to directly get that time and start the process with it? Any ideas how we can achieve this?

Hi all, I'm a beginner of Appian. I usually see a "export excel" button in a record type at the upper right corner, but I could not see it on a record type. In the record type, the following error is shown. "Expression evaluation error at function a!gridField_23r3 [line 51]: The field [b4975317-48bc-4a6d-9ade-949dece38b46] does not exist." In record type, I cannot see expression code, but the error show the code line... How do I see the code in a record type? What i want to do is to export a data into excel... any suggestion please... Best regards,

Hi everyone, I am trying to fetch archived process instance details based on process model and date. I have tried below approach: - 1.Using find archive smart service which is part of Process Management Utilities plug-in, but the smart service isn't returning any output regardless of the details I have provided. 2.Through log file but the file which is generated in system logs are dynamic (based on timestamp) due to which I am not able to use this approach. Please help me to find a way through which I can fetch archived process instance details.

I am updating a custom plugin that utilizes the Knowledge Document Type and uses the getInternalFilename() to get the absolute path of the document. That function has been deprecated, what is the preferred replacement, as I still need the absolute path of the document. Would getExternalFilename() return a similar value.
