Hi Team, Can we extract process instance logs on Appian. Eg: For a process instance, we see the details of the process in the process history tab. Can we extract that?

Hi, As the log files are generated in Appian and we too can view and download them. But I have a doubt about a few. Can you please solve them? I listed my questions here:     1. What is Appian Default log clean-up configuration?     2. What is the log generation frequency?     3. As the log files are generated and stored, do they delete automatically or can I delete them manually?  Thanks.

Hi All, If we go with the Appian Cloud Database Encryption,(https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Appian_Cloud_Database_Encryption.html#default-encryption-for-tables) 1.  What is the performance impact - the article mentions small performance impact. Has anyone done this and what was the impact on performance(specific in milliseconds,seconds)? 2.  We have views defined in application which are used to display some dashboards on UI - will these be impacted as well? 3.  As per article,the phpMyAdmin will continue to show data as before encryption so how do we verify that encryption is working correctly

Hi! I´m trying to query a database which has: - A date field (month-day-year) - A number of days to add (integer) I want to use a query in order to add the number of days (integer, I want it to be days) to the date field, and return a date field.  I tried the following query but it doesnt work (returns null).

Hi! I´m trying to update a value (recepcionado = true) by clicking a button in an interface (button --> changes a field of the record to "true"). I created the interface and the rule input (record, from my record type) changes its value correctly, but it´s not saved. I did a process model to save the records, but when I try to use the write records component, the following message appears: ID pedido is my primary key in this record type. The interface (process start form) is a summary view for each ID_pedido, so I don´t know how to fix this error. When I run the process, even though the write records fails, my process variable (recepcionado = true) is saved What can I do?

am getting this error in PM, but i didn't find the issue.. i guess it's in user input node is throwing the warning. can anyone tell me what might be the issue

Hello, Does Appian allow for backwards compatablility with applications OR objects? I put one interface object in a package, and tried to import it to another appian environment that was not running the current version. I got another error displaying this: Is there something wrong with the object itself or does happian just straight up not allow backwards compatability?thank you

Hi! I was trying to create a button in an user interface. This button should change de value of the field "recepción" (boolean) to "true", and save it into the record type ("CPF_Maestro_Pedidos). With my configuration, I can pass the "true" value to the rule input (record) associated with the record type, but I´m doubting about which is the best way to save (overwrite) the value into the record. Also, I don´t know if I should create an action associated with the button or not.  Additionally, the interface is a record view interface.  Options I thought: 1) Use an expression inside the button code (like WriteRecords) to overwrite directly from here --> ¿how would be the structure? 2) Make a process model and use this interface as the start form and use write records component. The problem is that when I try to do that, an error appears (rank ---> data inputs). But the variable "recepcionado = true&qu

I have a record type which is not a synced type. It is referred using a CDT. I understood that synced records have better performance. I want to understand the difference between un synced record type and query entity, both are basically trying to fetch values from the Database. Can we use query entity instead of unsynced records?

I want my label to be thick and bold

I went thru the documentation and thought of increasing RTS count from 2 to 4 but looking for more info in terms of impact of this increment. We have 60 GB RAM and 4 CPU for the enviroment. Now Data server log file under ss folder is showing 9gb size and while starting up data server, CPU usage was 100% for few secs and some time in past it took 15 min to come up. In Appian Env, we have Record type sync and many columns are of 4000 char.  Will it be helpful to increase RTS count in this case to avoid any sync issue while bringing up the data server.

When I create a group using the `Create Group` smart service, it inherits the security from the Parent group configured. In addition to that it also adds the initiator as Administrator in the Security. Is there any way to remove that in the process and not manually? 

Hi ,  Third Party Credentials questions. 1) Is it possible to update Third Party Credentials using API or any other option other than Manual. We are rotating our client Secret every 6 months so don't want to do it manually, exploring option to automate this process.  2) Does Appian provide audit of updating Third party Credentials. e.g if we have S3 credentials and if someone updates client secret then does appian capture this update in any log  ? Thanks Vishal 

Hi All I have requirement to get the values between  square brackets iam achieving it with the help of  extract function but when i was trying to insert the brackets after entering value and if my text value has uneven number of brackets it is erroring out   can you suggest is their any other alternate way to achieve this 

in my app I have a Loans table and the client wants to be able to add new Loan Balances to the loan with date, balance, & notes fields. The best way I know to do this would be to create a Balances table related to the Loans table so that each Loan could have many Balances. What I am wondering is if there is a way to set up a Balance field on on the parent Loans table that will always display the most recent balance entered into the Balance table? Short of that i know I can show a record list of the balances on the interface with add buttons so they can add new balances that way, but they also want to be able to report of the current balances and to use the child table would mean having to pull several pieces of information from the parent Loan table down to the child Balance table which I think would be much more difficult to do.

Good Morning! I downloaded the Database Load Generation on the APPMARKET and tried importing it on the environment and updated this properties file. I updated the Data Generation Application Properties file and updated the line 29, 30 and 37,38. First I remove the pound sign and change the colon (:) to equal (=). Then I imported it like this  after that I inspected it before importing to check if there are any errors since there are no errors I proceeded to import it. then when I imported it the status is failed. Then when I checked the import log this is the error that are written Has anyone have an idea how to solve this error? Thank You!

Hi all, I have a use case where we want to start a process (process model independent of parent process) in different Appian environments from its parent process model. So we need to accomplish an action in appian environment 1 and appian environment 2 once certain actions are completed in appian environment 3. PM in appian environment 3 should trigger PMs in Appian environment 1 & 2 upon its completion, we cannot use web API or integration here. So I wanted to understand if we can make use of 'start process by email' option to start multiple process which are in different appian environments. Also if we have any other better approach for this scenarios? Any suggestion here much appreciated. Thanks, Preji
