I have handle two XML files daily, each with a size of 50MB or more. These files are transferred via SFTP or FTP. Our goal is to extract specific values from these files, check their existence in our database, and either update existing records or insert new ones as necessary.Requirements: File Retrieval: Automate the retrieval of XML files from an SFTP or FTP server. Store the files temporarily within Appian or an external file storage service. Data Extraction: Parse the XML files to extract a list of values. Given the large file sizes, efficient parsing and processing strategies are needed. Data Validation and Update: Compare extracted values against existing database records. Update existing records with the latest values or insert new records as required. Performance Considerations: Handle large files efficiently, possibly by processing in chunks. Ensure database operations (updates and inserts) are optimized for performance.can any one suggest some best approach to do this.

I have 2 records A and B with one to many relationships, both the records contains a column isActive(boolean). I have a process model that is triggered as related action of record A and this process model contains Start Process(node) with MNI, and a child process will be triggered for each child of record A, this child process is used to deactivate the corresponding child record by marking isActive as false. Here the requirement is, only when all the child process instances finsh by marking the corresponding child rows as deactivated, we need to deactivate the Parent row in the Parent process model, How can we achieve this? I tried using send mesaage and recieve message events and it's working but I am not sure this is a preferred way as we are sending message from each and every child instance, if we have 1000 child records 1000 messages will be sent, I don't know weather sending these many messages cause any issue. Is it fine to use the approach or do we have to do something

HI Team, is there any documentation around Appian's Secure Coding practices which can relate to OWASP ? ~Gaurav

Hi Community, I created a simple record type and generated record actions (create, update) using Appian "Generate Record Actions" button. As result I got a "shared" process model "Create or update ..." and a single user interface that is assigned to the process as the startup form. I created a second interface with a read-only grid where I should add two buttons - the first one should create a new record (insert action) and the second one should let user edit an existing record. As both actions starts the same process model, the same startup form is presented to the user - empty on new record and prepopulated with existing data on edit - that's expected and works fine. Now, I have a requirement to prepopulate some values when user wishes to create a new record (not all, only some). I tried to initialize the "record" rule input on process model (Process model properties -> Process start form -> list of interface rule inputs), by using

Hi, We have created a connected system with Google Service Account as authentication. For every few months, the key rotation happens at GCP, then we fetch the service account key and update it on the connected system manually (upload key, authorize, and save changes). To automate this process, we have the mechanism to fetch the service account key details from GCP using API schedular job, but we are unsure how to update it on the connected system without manual interaction on Appian designer. So is there a way that we can do it from the server end or any other possible way to automate this key updation in a connected system? Thanks,Mahesh.

Does anyone know where we can find a complete list of type numbers and respective type names which can be used for casting. I know that we can manually check in the Expression Rule by evaluating the typename() with all values, any alternatives?

How does too many nodes in a process model increase memory footprint? Too many nodes in a process mode reduce readability and maintainability. However, not sure how it impacts(increase) memory footprint. Please provide your thoughts..

What will happen to the objects that are last modified by a user whose account is going to be deactivated soon?What are the precautionary steps that need to be taken while deactivating a user in appian? What about process models which are configured to run as whoever designed the process model??
