Basiclly I follows the steps as mentioned in the document: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Appian_Plug-ins.html, However I runs into issues after deploy my plugin to Appian server. 1. I copied the log4j-core-2.17.1.jar and log4j-api-2.17.1.jar from /deployment/web.war/WEB-INF/lib folder to my laptop, and inlcude them to my project  2. In my code, i use LogManager.getLogger(MyClass.class) to get a Logger (org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger) 3. Use Logger object to log messages But when the code runs on Appian server, in log file shows exceptions about the org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger class is not defined.  I am using Appian V21.4.

I am tasked with mapping data to a docX to generate a pdf. I have most of the data mapped properly, but I wanted to know if it's possible to generate a pdf download of a record list or read only grid. Is it possible to print off the entire record list? Mapping data to a pdf requires that you know how many fields you need to populate. How can I generate a pdf that has a dynamic amount of data?Thanks,

Hi all, In my record type I have a related action, this I am triggering from a UI grid column. The related action points to a PM that performs operations and has no UI associated, but as soon as I hit the related action I am getting a white dialogue box, as if there is a UI in the associate PM, and then closes automatically. Usually if there's a UI the dialogue box would make sense, but why is it coming in my case. It could create a kind of confusion if a UI is coming into picture. Is there any way to disable the dialogue box other than selecting its size?

Hi Team, I have a requirement of converting time in seconds to days, hours, minutes and seconds. I am using function intervalds() to do the same but I find when I give time (in seconds) for 30 days then the function does not return me the correct value. My required format is ddd:hh:mm:ss Eg : I tried : intervalds(0,0,2592000) and in response I got : -19::17:02:47.296 (Interval (Day to Second)). I am using appian version 22.2. Can someone help me in fixing the above and suggest me if we have any OOTB functions to do the same. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello team, I would like to ask you for an advice. In my tool there is one User Input Task which is assigned to a group "Processors". The users of this group accept the task and complete it. I set up an "Escalation" to reassign the task back to queue if some of the processors forget to complete it.   My problem is that in some cases, I cant really explain why, the task is not released and its owner remains still the user who accept it. So I created a flow for business administrators who can reassign a task to somebody else from the pool using the "Reassign Task" smart service in Process model. But even if we select the "ICH Processors" as a group to assign the task back, the owner of the task will not change and the task will be not available to accept it. Any advice please on how to resolve this? How to change the owner correctly? Thanks

Has anyone ever done a waterfall chart in Appian? Something like this, where the value of the following month starts at the point in the Y axis where the previous month ended.

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement of uploading an excel which contains around 50k records. Currently , we are using plugin to extract data from file to DB which is having automatic batch size. But, CPU utilization and heap memory usage is too high which is causing environment to break down sometimes. I came across Read Excel File Paging Function , But even with this function writing to DB had much complexity of mapping and all. Any other way that we can acheive this using other plugins or anything?

Hello team, is there any best practice on how to auto-release a task which was accepted by somebody from a specific group after some time, lets say 1 hour. In my case i have a group called "Processors" which contains approx 50 users. When a task is assigned to this group the users accept a task a work on them. I want to ensure that when somebody from the group accept a task but not complete it in 1 hour it will be autoreleased and reassign back to the whole group so somebody else can take care of it. Thanks
