I want to know if there is anyway can compile appian code in local? Or use git to manage the source code.(Source code not the package download from web). What problem we face is how to develop in parallel。we are a huge team (100 developers). When we develop a new function,  we usually need to use the same object. But appian can not develop in parallel. So we want to find if there is any way we can compile appian code in local.

While trying to call an API, we are getting an the below error: success: false result: null (Null) error: Integration Error title: "The external system could not be found" message: "Appian could not find a DNS address for https://eis-apim.deviq-uat.work.iqvia.com" The call to this API worked fine in POSTMAN and the connected system with the credentials got authorised successfully as well. Is there some kind of setting with the network that needs to be changed to allow calling this integration endpoint?

We would like to open command prompt using appian rpa to execute some batch scripts ..Any pointers how i can accomplish? No luck using Task recorder as it gives 'unsupported error'

Hi everyone, I’m working on my first Appian build and ran into an issue I haven’t been able to resolve. My save logic seems to save correctly to ri!record, but I’m getting an error related to the record type relationships. Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error: xxxx must be indexed by its corresponding record type fields or relationships I suspect the issue is tied to how my record type relationships are configured, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Has anyone encountered similar issues with saving data to a record type and relationship errors? I’d really appreciate any guidance on reviewing or troubleshooting the save logic and relationships. Thanks in advance!

I get the following error, which doesn't help me understand what could be wrong. The data (at least text fields) was extracted successfully using map, the doc id is passed correctly.

I want to create a custom UI where all my actions are displayed as styled buttons using a!buttonWidget, but still open the native record action dialog (start form, etc.) the way a!recordActionField does. Currently, a!recordActionField works fine for triggering the action and opening the dialog, but it doesn’t give me the same level of styling flexibility as a!buttonWidget. I tried using a!startProcess() inside the saveInto of a button, but that just runs the process silently without opening the dialog. Is there any way to call a record action directly from a button widget (and open its dialog), or is a!recordActionField the only supported method?

Hello Community, We are currently facing challenges with early detection of errors in Appian processes. In our implementation, many flows include killers and orchestrate multiple subprocesses. While Appian’s process monitor allows us to see execution paths and variable values, this visibility is very limited once the processes are archived. As a result, identifying failures in a timely manner is difficult, especially in complex orchestrator flows. What we are looking for is: Early Alerts Is there a way to configure alerts/notifications when: A process fails, A process takes longer than expected, A subprocess does not start or complete as designed? Observability / Logging Are there recommended best practices or design patterns to achieve better observability? For example: persisting process variables, execution history, and error details (including history errors and variable values) into logs or records so we can analyze issues even after processes are archive

According to  [mention:650c85e52fdf47f29168a7d381b7feb7:6b577b8c04704e209d29b6772bf67243:label=Leverage%20JMeter%20in%20Appian%20Load%20Testing%2C] this plug-in  [mention:a056532754bb4d848e4bc838433a0ebd:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07] is needed for, or at least greatly streamlines, performance testing in Appian. The app is now unavailable, and a comment on the plug-in page notes that it is out of date. Is this plug-in permanently out of support, and consequently, is that a showstopper for using JMeter in Appian Load Testing? What is the latest guidance?

I have tried to use the AI skill to extract info from pdf. But I notice that the speed of the AI skill is too slow. A doc like this. It takes 5 minutes to execute such a simple document. Is there anyway I can increase the execution speed? Is this because my model is not trained enough? Should I trained my model more?  

i have a store procedure where it has 13 different columns retrieved from 20 different tables i need to get user a link on single click to export data to Excel , and also if possible matched data should  be bold in the excel

Within the Appian interface, the date field typically accepts dates separated by a forward slash ("/"). However, in our use case, there are scenarios where we need to support dates separated by a hyphen ("-") or a pipe ("|"). To accommodate this requirement, I’ve written the following piece of code a!localVariables( local!onlyNumbers: cleanwith("1.22.1957", "1234567890"), local!length: len(local!onlyNumbers), if(local!length = 8, concat(left(local!onlyNumbers, 2), "/", mid(local!onlyNumbers, 3, 2), "/", right(local!onlyNumbers, 4)), if(local!length = 7, concat("0", left(local!onlyNumbers, 1), "/", mid(local!onlyNumbers, 2, 2), "/", right(local!onlyNumbers, 4)), null ) )) It seems that the Appian interface is not executing the logic as expected, and the error still persists.

I'm hearing that Appian does not accept passwords that are 22 characters long. What is the maximum length for the password of an Appian user account? Is this published officially anywhere?  (I did not see it on the Administration Console documentation page.) Thank you.

HI all  I have a record for sum insured values let's say he below: id: Primary Key (QuoteID) riskType1SumInsured: Aggregate field of all RiskType1 sum insureds riskType2SumInsured: Aggregate field of all RiskType2 sum insureds riskType3SumInsured: Aggregate field of all RiskType3 sum insureds totalSumInsured: a!customFieldSum(riskType1SumInsured, riskType2SumInsured,riskType3SumInsured )  When all the risk type 1,2 and 3 sum insured values have a value (Not Null) the totalSumInsured works correctly, however as soon as one or many of the risk type 1,2 and 3 sum insured values are null, the totalSumInsured simply returns a null. I have tried wrapping the risk type 1,2 and 3 sum insured values in the a!customFieldSum(), with a!defaultValue() as well is a!isnullOrEmpty(), but no change in behaviour. Is there something i am missing?

In my application I need to configure the approval task for multiple approvers in parallel. I m thinking to configure MNI for the process to assign the task to approvers. Scenario is let's say I have 3 approvers and if two approvers approves and one reject it then the request need to be reassigned to the initiator. It should move forward only if all the approvers are approved.. How to achieve this in appian. And also for approving I need to use the esign which is integrated in another application. Should I just to call that interface object or do I need to integrate that application in my application?

Hello, I am trying to implement a custompickerField, but I still don't understand very well how the suggestFunction and selectedLabels work since I have my DP_addressSugestion rule that receives the address and through the Google Maps API it already returns the filtering. Here is my suggestFunction. a!localVariables( local!addressSugestion: rule!DP_AddressGoogleMaps( address: ri!address, latitud: -9.5, longitud: -75 ), if( local!addressSugestion.success, a!localVariables( local!labels: a!forEach( items: local!addressSugestion.result.places, expression: index(fv!item, "description", null) ), local!values: a!forEach( items: local!addressSugestion.result.places, expression: index(fv!item, "description", null) ), a!dataSubset( data: local!labels, identifiers: local!values, ) ), a!dataSubset( data: {}, identifiers: {}, totalCount: 0 ) ) ) Pleas

a!documentViewerField This function specifically, I have gotten it to work, by displaying a PDF file through creation of constants and inserting documents etc. However, my issue with this is that, though it works well on Desktop/Laptop, the additional features such as scrolling, printing, saving the document, editing, annotation, fit to window, rotate, search, functions are not available on Mobile/Tablet devices. Minimally, I want to allow my users to scroll up and down, why am I unable to do so?

Hi, Our client has an Appian process (triggered by a daily batch job) that exports all the data from around fifty tables.The plugin used for this is: "MySQL Dump To Document".Since we've upgraded to Appian 25.3, the plugin is now deprecated, and the latter process is failing in error.*** Error: "Error creating MySQL Dump to Appian Document"What new plugin alternative could you advise me to use and install ?Otherwise, which native Appian solution could you propose ?Our client needs to deploy a solution in Production in few days, so I have to find a solution. Regards

Hi All, I am trying to quey the view which has 20000 rows. when i apply filter to one of the calculated column which has 0 rows present, queryentity still throws below error.  Expression evaluation error at function a!queryEntity: An error occurred while retrieving the data. Details: Unexpected error executing query (type: [ELMRISKREDUCTIONLANDINGPAGEVWDT16641], query: [queryentity expression], order by: [[Sort[eucInventoryId asc]]], filters:[(currentReductionStage in TypedValue[it=103,v={Process Re-engineering/Non GFT/ITeSS,}])]) We tried optimizing the view as well, but no luck. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I would like to implement a notification bell on an interface, that would show me notifications, similar to the facebook one attached, where if I click on it I see notification messages.I found a link to the post docs.appian.com/.../ux_messages_comments.html but it doesn't suit for my case: I don't want to take up additional space in my interface, nor is it nice in terms of user experience. Thank you very much in advance

I suddenly find when I use Dependents to check the dependents. I can not see any process model in the dependents tree. I also check the other env, they can see it normally. I want to konw why it occurs, is it wrong setting or a bug of Appian. How to fix it. 

I am able to connect to the External API with Postman using the API keys and API secrets and am successful. But when I use the Integration object I get a this error. This request requires authentication but does not specify the type of authentication expected HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized We are trying to connect to World Check-One API and wondering if anyone else has ever connected to their API.

Dear all, in the Online course I have the following quesiton: Which of the following use cases likely requires third party integrations? and one of the answer is "You want to automate a business process, such as sending out emails to subscribers." Taking into account online course and also this link (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/email-in-appian.html), I understood that an integration is needed to send email in Appian. Instead in the Appian analyst practice exam the answer "You want to automate a business process, such as sending out emails to subscribers." is not correct. Can you please tell me if sending out emails required or not third party integration? Thanks a lot.

I am planning for ACD300 certification so anyone kindly share valid suggestion

Can someone tell me what all options are correct for this question? Which two use-cases would require a third party integration? A customer needs to be able to share document with other Appian users A customer needs to be able to retain and store an extensive number of large, historical documents over a 7 year period A customer needs to collaborate on documents with non-Appian users in real time A customer needs to email copies of documents to non-appian users
