Hi, I have a requirement, where invoice documents from multiple vendors will be sent to Appian as a single PDF (page number around 250 - 300) file. As the invoice documents for each vendor needs to be processed using IDP, we need to split the PDF document into multiple PDFs. The pages for each vendor invoice documents will not be static, it can vary depending upon the content on the documents.  Kindly share your thoughts on how to proceed with splitting the PDF file to send them further for processing. Regards, Deepak Devarajan

Hi, In changing the Appian User password, can we change the password by using smartservice and interface obejct. (Not the method in which the user sets the password in Settings -> Password.) Or is there a function that allows administrators to reset(change) passwords in the Admin console? Searching through the communty pages, it seems that the function was not provided a few years ago, but now I am wondering if there has been any development. Thank you

I am trying to return a document to a component plugin via a connected system plugin's clientApi.  However, I have not been able to find a secure way to retrieve the user in order to do so.  Is there a way to get the user from the session server-side?

I want to use the function numprocessesforprocessmodelforstatus(id, status, includeSubProcessData), but I don't understand how to get the ID of the process model I want to reference. The documentation doesn't give an example that incorporates fetching the ID of a model, the example just says "numprocessesforprocessmodelforstatus(processModelId,"completed")" but doesn't explain how to get the id. The documentation has been giving me a headache since day one. If I look up "process model id" I get zero results in the documentation search.

when i debugging my process model and I want to view my form  but I found this error An Error Has Occurred The task status null is invalid. Please solve my error ASAP. Thanks.

Hi all, we've been confronted to a strange case. For a better understanding we've reproduced the behavior in a expression rule : if({ 1 } = 1, { 2, 3, 4 }, {}) returns 2. Obviously, comparing a list with an integer is the error here. But, then, the result should be either the empty list or null or an error message. For more fun, you can test : if({true, false, true},{2,4,6},{3,5,7}) In our mind, a type error should be returned. Regards.

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement where i can reuse local variable array. For Example a!localvariable( local!iterations:{1,2,3}, local!value, a!foreach( items:local!iterations, expression{ append( local!value, fv!index )})) The output i need is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 1 2 3rd Iteration 1 2 3 But the output the code is generating is 1st Iteration 1 2nd Iteration 2 3rd Iteration 3. I thought that local variable should be append with the value and  can use for next iteration but it is initializing every time with null value rather than appendvalue. Could you please help me to get the output i need Thanks In Advance!!!

Good Evening Great People, I keep having a problem with the Import Excel to Database Plug-in Smart Service. I import the Data, the are no errors on all the notes, however the information is not written to database. The first time, I encountered the problem, I just deleted the plug-in and re-deployed it and it worked. The second time I encountered the problem, I reverified the Entity mappings on my Datastore. Then the third time, I resolved it by removing the delete  Today, I encounter a similar problem and I have tried the previous tricks non of them work. What are the possible reasons that this plug-in could fail to write to DB even though there are no process note errors Your assistance would be highly appreciated thank you

i'm trying to create a process report report type task , context tasks assigned to group inside the report i set the required group as a context but i wasn't able to see list of tasks of that group, so please guide me what is missing

My process models were developed and tested when Primary (and the only) Locale was English (US) by default. I now need to change the Primary Locale to English (UK) - to get the dates appearing in correct format (as I am in New Zealand, and here we use date format as dd/mm/yyyy; and not the American mm/dd/yyyy format). When I change my Primary Locale to "English (UK)" - the date formats work well; but my Process Model names are showing as "???".  I do understand that somehow I need to redefine Process Model names in the new English (UK) language (which BTW seems strange, as the process model names would be exactly same in these two "languages" :-) ). However, I don't know how to do it. Are there any other properties that I need to update for the new locale? Any thoughts, for a proper solution to this?  Thank you in advance.

  this is my cdt  i dont know how can i delete a username for the usernames field  in the db.

Hi Everyone, I have two interfaces, interface 1 and Interface 2. The interface 2 is inside interface 1, interface 1 is having a button which is calling exp rule to call web service to update DB.

Hi everyone,  One of the process models that I'm working on is using a Timer Event node, which is having a scheduled delay setting as shown below: (the constant returns 2 (integer)) I think the node supposes to delay for 2 minutes, then will activate the next node (Merge document) to run.  However, this Delay node has stuck there for much longer than 2 minutes, and when I check Process History, the node is Cancel.  The Merge Document node does not have any setting for Scheduling either I haven't worked with Timer Event before, and couldn't find the reason for this behaviour from documentation. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot,
