Hi, I'm learning Appian RPA tutorial. I'm trying to create a Robot for ParseExcel Example. I have few doubts while creating a robot. 1. What kind of permissions we need to add there? ( I added my mail id which is registered for Appian is that correct) 2. I installed java in my local system and set in Environment variable also. Do we need to provide the Path here or is it fine to leave it blank? 3. I added my email id which is used for Appian community login in permission and added my local system JRE Path in JRE Path. Downloaded and installed the exe file.  After click on ok The Robot showing offline. 4. If I execute as per following the document it is not working. Below is the execution log  Below is the tutorial document I followed. [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/61/9.3-_2800_23.3_2900_-Parse-Excel-Files.pdf:320:240] Please guide me where I went wrong. Thanks, Sadhu Surendra.

I have been in the construction industry for quite some time now and am looking to make a career change. Over the last few months I have learned some AWS and have obtained my AWS cloud practitioner certification. My girlfriend has a job working with appian and she suggests that I learn appian and try to get a job do that. I’m worried that with no prior work experience or a bachelors degree that I won’t be even looked at even after I get the 2 appian certifications (appian associate developer and appian senior developer certifications) does anyone have any experience on this? https://tutuappx.com/ Vidmate

Hello everyone, I am building an Appian process that needs to have only one instance running at a time, since every instance would be inserting to/ truncating the same database table. In order to achieve this, at the beginning of the process I check if the current instance is the oldest among the active instances of the process, through a query to a process report.  This works just fine, the problem is that I want to also check if the oldest instance has, for whatever reason, a node with error and therefore it's flow has been blocked. This way I could kill that instance or skip it in order not to block the other instances in the queue. What I noticed is that even though a process may have a node with errors, the status in the process report remains "Active", so I couldn't find a way to verify through the Report. Even the functions num_problem_tasks() and num_active_tasks() are not helping.  Do you guys know of any efficient way to make this control

which gate way can be used to execute 2 flows at a time

Hi, I am attempting to start using RPA within Appian and the documentation says the host machine has to have Java installed. My organisation won't allow me to download the full version of Java and have asked if I can use a free version of Java e.g. adaptivejdk or Amazon corretto. Is this possible?

Hi all, I was trying to get know more about "UUID" and how it works, I came across couple of challenges , Which both include "Record Type" object and it's UUID. 1. When i'm trying to pass UUID of record object in  getcontentsbyUUID function (Content tools plug in) ,it's throwing an error   "No object with this UUID has been found" , but when i search it in application search i can find the object. Can we use this function for records? 2. When i am deploying  application to an higher environment, In inspect tab SOMETIMES similar thing  (Record object and it's related objects  were there  in the package , but still it's gonna ask  for missing object with uuid  which is record type). Can anybody please explain why it's happening   

I am looking to read a specific column of Excel in Appian. suppose I have 3 columns in Excel roll no. , name, and email. So, I want to read all the values in the column email as an array of Strings. 

We are using Write to Multiple Data Store Entity smart service to write multiple Process variables at once ( In that couple of Process Variables are null. ). After writing to DB in output we are trying to get data written back to PV using ac!storedValues.   However even though PVs are null, after writing to DB it is returning empty CDT instead of null.

Currently I have a requirement to provide filters for all the columns present in the Read-only grid which is like 25+ columns. To provide filters individually for all the columns it won't be a good practice any is there any alternative way to display the filter in efficient way.

Hi Champs, we have a requirment in Appian RPA where we are clicking a button/image to download the data in PDF in a chrome browser. It's working fine till the pop-up comes for Save option. But we are not sure how to click the save button on that pop up as this is a different window than the primary browser screen.

Hi fitnesse working very slowly on window server. however, it is working smoothly on window 11. can you please help me? in case of anything is to be enabled on to server for running chrome  Thank you in advance!

I need to compare two lists of the same type of cdt, and remove any duplicates from one of the lists if two of the fields match. For example CDT Array 1: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 05/05/2019 ) } CDT Array 2: {type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 01/01/2022 ), type!example( email: "hello11@gmail.com", type: 1, date: 03/02/2023 ), type!example( email: "hello@gmail.com", type: 2, date: 01/02/2023 ) } In this example, I want to remove CDT 1 from CDT Array 2, because it is has the same email and ID fields as the CDT in CDT Array 1, and I want to return the other two CDTs in CDT Array 2.How can I do this as efficiently as possible?

We have compare and deploy set up between Dev and Test. Packages can only be deployed after manager approval. Let's say package 1 contains ABC Process (version 1). This package is submitted for approval. Later, package 2 is created and contains ABC Process (version 2). This package is also submitted for approval. The manager approves package 2 before package 1. After both packages are deployed, will ABC Process in Test be (version 1) or (version 2)?

I have a web API that gets and downloads a file when the end point is hit. Is there a way to set the download file name to a value that is passed into the web API as a query parameter? We don't want to permanently rename the actual file itself, just the download file which the user gets when they hit the endpoint.# Below is what I have so far. Thanks for any help!

I have a SAIL form that displays CDT data which ultimate came from a web service.  There is a button on the interface to refresh the data.  Clicking this button invokes an expression rule which calls an integration to retrieve the latest data to return to the interface.  The data in the external system changes based on actions taken by users that also use the SAIL form.  Users know when they need to click the refresh button to see the newest data. When the form is opened (it opens from a workflow task), the data is displayed.  When the refresh button is clicked, the data is updated and the new data is displayed.  So far, so good. However, when the button is clicked a second time while the task remains open, the data is not refreshed and the interface shows the old data.  When clicked a third time, same result (no refresh).  Fourth, same result.  If I close the task, re-open it, and click the button, the data once again is refreshed.... but
