I have the requirement to find the difference between two record values of a record type like we do in case of cdts using cdtdifference(). I have the previous value of record type and then new value, I need to populate Audit table using these difference values. Any function like cdtdifference() or any workaround to do this?

I have a parent process (lets say process A) and a subprocess called in it (lets say process B). The subprocess node assignment in process A is set as 'Run as whoever started the process' but in process B there is a lane assignment 'Run as whoever designed this process model'. In this case, on whose security will the process B will run? Similarly there can be a total of 4 cases mentioned below and I am confused that on whose security the process B would run? 1. The subprocess node assignment in process A is set as 'Run as whoever started the process' and in process B there is a lane assignment 'Run as whoever designed this process model'. 2. The subprocess node assignment in process A is set as 'Run as whoever started the process' and in process B there is a lane assignment 'Run as whoever started the process'. 3. The subprocess node assignment in process A is set as 'Run as whoever designed this process model'&nbsp

We have a use case for a mobile offline application. I'm trying to build a simple app to test the functionality. Are there any other pointers beyond the design guidance in the documentation?  An example of the application process flow is as follows: Load application and any data that will be needed for the entry form Go offline Invoke form to enter data with any ref data populated from Step 1 Enter data Submit the form to save changes locally Go online and see the newly created record The documentation talks about offline actions and offline tasks. I would like to implement offline actions but I'm not seeing much detail on configuring them.  What would be really useful is a working example with a similar flow to what I've described. In that case, I could dissect to fit my use case. Also useful would be more pointed steps for implementing this functionality. I'm aware of the following: Enable offline mobile in Admin Console Enable interface for offline Use

Hi Team, I am having an issue with reading the log file (login-audit.csv). It contains multiple rows, but the function is only returning the header and not the rows. However, when I try with other log files, it works fine. Currently Our Appian version is 24.1 and we are using this plugin firsttime.   Expression -    readcsvlogpaging(   csvPath: "login-audit.csv",   startIndex :1,   batchSize:20 )   Output     'type!{com.appiancorp.logreader}CsvContents'('logName': "/usr/local/appian/ae/logs/login-audit.csv", 'totalCount': -1, 'headers': {"2024-05-14 00:00:05", "Appian", "Succeeded", "3.106.112.168", "Web API", "Appian", "cd05a5a0-b1e5-4ffb-8dd6-0f7007e505ce", ""})

Dear heros of the appian community:currently trying to extend knowledge about "egde cases" of appian Is there any way, that i can call an interface dynamically by a DB value in the sense that:i am storing a UUID or name of an interface component and by calling the value of rule!EXA_recordtype.interfaceNamethe interface is shown. example code snipped I know ,this exact way, it is not working like that due to the exclamation marks etc. just thinking through and to show the route i am coming from.there are ways of choose() etc. I know. but its about not having it "hardcoded". kind of totally based on DB values..Is something in that sense/manner possible?Love to read your inputs

Hello Appian People, [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] I have a small doubt. Is it possible to underline and bold any word or sentences at the same time. I tried different approaches but it is failed. The only thing working is: Is it possible that the phrase 'Appian is fun' can be written by both 'Bold' and 'Underline' styles? If yes please try sending the correct codes or explanation. Any suggestions/solutions is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

Hello Experts, Currently, I'm working as an Associate Appian Developer for a company while also preparing for the Senior Developer certification. I believe practical knowledge is essential for this certification. Could you please suggest a use case for a proof of concept (POC) that covers topics relevant to the Senior Developer certification? This will help me learn with practical experience.[mention:a11f77a729fb4db2af76b09948583328:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] [mention:b45a4f6a20b14a008e4e0ec732a8bf98:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

I am trying to call an integration that needs to pass a file from appian through its body.  However, it's not being acceptable, cause As you can see, the connection endpoint is expecting the file parameter to be of type File.  An information: with the url that I am retrieving in appian, I am being able to download the file just by clicking on the link. However apparently the File type on this connection expects another type of string: MultipartFile, Is it by any chance possible that conversion? Thanks

I modified CDT and process model in source environment and then I deployed CDT 1st followed by process model to target environment, but still process model was referenced to older version CDT^1 in target environment. Any idea what could be the root cause here?

I have an integration which returns the document in binary format and I can convert that to Appian document using the option to Convert Binary response to Appian document. But this API returns JSON body as below while returning error. I want to extract this error details and present it to the users but the integration object is returning null response body when I select the option "Convert Binary response to Appian document" even though API is returning below body. Is there any way to extract this body when API returns error and convert the binary to Appian document in case of successful response ? API Response as JSON body: {"type":"about:blank","title":"Bad Request","status":400,"detail":"Failed to read request","instance":"/api/v1/"} Integration Response:

There is a user who is already present in the Appian environment. If I change the last name of the user will the user cab still access the application or the user's account will get reset and the user will automatically get logged out from the respective applications and groups. Example: In the current situation: User's First Name (dummy) : Vivian User's Last Name (dummy) : Richards The current name of the user is 'Vivian Richards' and the user is currently active in the system. I want to change the username as: User's First Name (dummy) : Vivian User's Last Name (dummy) : Williamson Richards Is it possible to change without affecting the user's credential or any actions related to application's specific group. Any inputs/solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello, I have a large record type (over 30'000 lines), that I display in a gridfield, with many filters.  Client needs to export this data to Excel, so I allowed him with the "showExportButton: true". Now some newbies think my system can send them the 30'000 lines, and they click the button... several times. This is costly to the system, breaks performance for everyone, to no avail! I think there is no way to hide the "export" button when to many records in my recordData set. Or is there? @Appian, this would be a good feature, wouldn't it? I see the number of lines at the bottom of the page, so it looks easy to the gridfield object to access! Please think about it, or provide guidance to work this around, please [emoticon:6d505171faa4497c85c5ca27290c555d]

Hi everyone, I have a database view that contains a total of 62 fields. Most of the fields are empty except for the first few fields, some fields in the middle of the view, and the last two fields. It is crucial that the order of these fields cannot be changed. I'm creating a process that returns the data from the view to an Excel file. I'm using the smart service "Export Data Store Entity to Excel", but it has a limitation of 50 fields, so I cannot export all the fields to an Excel file. As a workaround, I have tried the following: I split the CDT that points to the view into two CDTs (each with half of the fields of the view) and linked two "Export Data Store Entity to Excel" nodes. The first node generates the Excel file correctly from cell "A1" to cell "AE1". I pass the resulting document as an input parameter to the second node in the "Document to Update" field. Additionally, in the second node, I use the data store enti

Hi All, Has anyone run with the issue of  using the Receive Message event in process model to initiate the process model:  (trigger a particular process model through email using receive message event at start node of the process model. In this approach you will have to store all the required email properties using message properties bean.To trigger the process model you need to send an email to processmodeluuid<model_uuid>@subdomain.appiancloud.com(if you are on cloud). If you don't want to provide an email id having processmodeluuid<model_uuid>@subdomain.appiancloud details to users then you need to make some alias configurations in custom.properties file & need to create a service account at MS exchange.Your Appian administrator must enable the Anonymous system user to allow the sending of an email to a process or process model.) By using this approach every time after the process is initiated the emails from the outlook mail box are au

Hi All, I have a file uploaded to sharepoint with encrypted file name ex: 1234.pdf . I have the original name of the file stored in table and while providing a safelink for download , I need to replace 1234.pdf with original name from table.  Currently safelink downloads the file with default/encrypted name of 1234.pdf . What approach can be taken to have the file downloaded in original name. Please suggest. Appreciate the help . Note: if we download to Appian KC temporary and then rename the file, it will become a 2 step process. I would like to avoid that. Thanks Raj
