Hi I've checked around on the discussion board and don't know if I've seen any definitive answer on this one.  I have some processes that, when retried via Appian Designer, are not able to connect to this API. 2025-03-10 18:56:33,523 [Appian Work Item - 1713306 - WorkID 802 - execution05 - process 9100525 - model 171 : UnattendedJavaActivityRequest] ERROR com.appiancorp.connectedsystems.http.execution.AppianHttpRequestExecutor - ConnectorRuntimeException [title=There was a problem with the request, Failed to connect to https://*/*/ftk/rest/v1/recordItemOrder] There are thousands of requests between our Appian infrastructure and the APIs infrastructure, all of which connect without issue, which rules our FW or network related issues.  The above is the only log that is displayed, there aren't any other clues here.  Is there somewhere else I can look at to see exactly why I cannot connect? Appreciate any help on this. Mike

Hello we have integration with an external system and once we add the document, we use Get file to retrieve the document. In the Get File Integration if I use convert Binary to Appian document it works fine and stores the document in Appian. But we do not want to store the document in Appian, we just want it to be a downloadable link. Converting the binary to a document using todocument() to display in a!documentDownloadLink.. results in an error saying ID Not found.

I have an interface that will be used by parish managers to fill out a Parish Profile.  We have some of the Parish Profiles set up from last year and some of the Parish Managers fill out the profile for more than one parish. So the interface takes in the logged in user and retrieves the Parish Profiles for the user.  This can return null, one or more parish profiles depending upon the User.    If they have no parish profiles, I need to display a form that would allow them to select a Parish and create a profile. If they have one parish profile, then I need to display a form for them to review and update the parish profile as needed. If they have more than one profile, then I need for the User to select one of the profiles from a grid, then review and update the profile. 1 and 2 work great. My problem is with number 3. I have two local variables; selectedParishProfile and updatedParishProfile.  The selectedParishProfile is set when the user selects a row from

Hi all, I have hundreds of process instance with error, I just want to terminate this process bulk. I need the instance to be archived, so I don't want to delete or cancel the process. How can I terminate the  process instance with error bulk? Kindly share your knowledge thanks in advance.

Hi All, I am working on a scheduled workflow where I have to check for existing active instance and if it is still active without any errors, I can skip my run. If it is errored out in any node, I can proceed with the current flow. I checked in https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Process_and_Report_Data.html and can see there is a possibility to get the details only if the instance is Paused by Exception.Anyone have any workaround for my case?I am thinking if there is a possibility that Appian is showing the status as "Active with Errors" and Error count as "1". There should be some report option available to get the same data. Right?Anyone have any idea how to achieve this?

I am currently working on a file upload component and do not require any process model for my use case. I have successfully uploaded an Excel file containing data for five users. To read this data, I have written an expression rule, which is functioning correctly. However, I am encountering an issue: after uploading the Excel file and clicking the submit button, I need to display the data in a read-only grid. Could anyone provide a suggestion or solution for this matter? Thank you in advance for your assistance.a!localVariables( a!formLayout( label: "", contents: { a!sectionLayout( label: "Create Users in Bulk", contents: { a!linkField( instructions: "Add additional rows with user information based on the header", links: { a!documentDownloadLink( label: "CSV Template", document: cons!GUM_USER_CSV_DOC ) } ), a!fileUploadField(

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this to show up? Given that the file extension .cdxml is a permitted file extension in the environment and the user has confirmed that the file type matches the extension.

Please suggest  how can we calculate years given by days using record types

Hi All.We want to understand if we can receive message from AWS SQS and start a process model in Appian. Can we use receive message event configured to receive to message from external to process type to achieve this and if yes, can anyone please tell how to test that?

Hey, good evening! I’ve got a big question, and I’m kinda stuck. So, I’ve been working with Appian skills lately, and everything else has been going fine, but I’m having some trouble with the email part. I’ve been running some tests, trying to set up email classification. From what I understand, you need at least 10 emails to get started, but they should be different types. So, I started with two sets of 10 different types of emails, but when I tried to upload them to the AI, it didn’t work. I got this error: “Training failed because there are too few files that meet the requirements. Collect and upload more files that meet the requirements to train a model.” Okay, fair enough. Then, I decided to create a Python script to generate some dummy emails. I uploaded 72 emails across 4 different categories, but I’m still getting the same error. What am I missing here? Do I need even more emails? :/ I’ve attached some screenshots for

We have annual security audits in our company. This year Appian entered in this process and the auditor is consulting us about backups. We have contracted the Essential cloud service. We understand that Appian has some sort of solution (cluster) on top of cloud environments. Where can I find this documentation? Is there a recommended procedure by Appian to backup our information? How can I ensure that in the event of an event I can recover our productive environment?

I'm opening a Site without any process or Record Type or Data Store and fails due an script error. So far, everything is ok. My doubt is why I receive a message like that?: Problem: APNX-1-4198-000.

We have two separate databases: a legacy one (Oracle) and a current one (MariaDB). We do not want to import the legacy data into the current database. However, our customer wants to be able to search records across both databases. The requirement is to connect both databases to our current application and build a search interface on a single page. There is no relationship between the two databases; the cases exist independently in each database and need to be merged for the search. Is there a way to connect both schemas and build a unified search interface? How can we solve this problem using Appian?

Hello,  I am having trouble with the following use case : we receive 3 large Excel files daily (~60 000 rows and 40 columns), that we need to read and write into Appian Cloud Database. So far, we've been doing that this way :  1. Use an ETL to read the file and batch the extracted JSON data 2. Send the data in batches to Appian with an API exposed by Appian 3. The API triggers a process that write the data to the table (Using the node Write to Data Store Entity) However, this approach is starting to cause some memory issues, as there is more than 150 processes trigerred daily, and each of these processes contains large process variables (even with batching, we still have 150 processes dealing with 500 rows each). I am wondering what would be the best way to deal with this issue according to best practices. I've thought about using a!writeToMultipleDataStoreEntities directly in our API instead of triggering a process, to avoid having too many process running, but

I´m going to do the exam today, and I would like to know any advice to pass it, and how difficult it is. I did the Analyst Course and I have reinforced it with the Appian Documentation. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I recently joined an IT company as an intern developer, and I've been assigned to the Low Code department, which works with Appian. I've been advised to study Appian before getting involved in projects, so I signed up for the Appian Developer Learning Path and have been working through some courses. However, the reason I'm writing this is to ask for advice on what else I should focus on besides the courses in the Appian Developer Learning Path. I know these types of questions are quite common, but with so much information available, I sometimes feel a bit lost. I really want to learn and be as useful as possible in this role, so any guidance from experienced developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, friends!

Hi Guys, I have the following values in Appian: {a!map(year: 2023, value: 15), a!map(year: 2024, value: 20), A!map(year: 2023, value: 100)} and I want to get an output as a map where the values are summed by year. For example: the years are aggregated and the value is the sum {a!map(year: 2023, value: 115), a!map(year: 2024, value: 20)} thanks

Hi All,We have a constant containing a process model. Yesterday we moved that constant and process model from test to UAT. All values were present in test. After deployment, while doing sanity we found that the value of the constant was empty. All objects got imported even the constant and process model except the constant's value. We tried redeploying the constant but it said no change while inspecting. So we directly edited in model and saved the value in the constant. The deployment was done by devops person and he is a system admin. Any insights on this issue?

We are using 24.2 on premise but not seeing any option for "AI Copilot for Developers". As per documentation, it is available for 24.2 on premise. Do we need to take some further steps to enable this?

Hi, I am currently interested about best practices for process deployment, and I've read a thread (please see the link below) about a critical issue. I've read a reply explaining that "key-value pair mapping" is a best practice for connecting Interface/SAIL with process to avoid deployment issues. Could you explain me what this best practice is about please ? or just give me a litlle example ?
