Hi all, I am writing with regards to an issue that we have found while upgrading from Appian 22.4 to Appian 24.3 in both the Dev and Test environments.We followed the procedure described in the documentation and found no issues during the upgrade process. However, when starting the Appian engines, we noticed the 3 analytics engines and the 3 execution engines were in CRASHLOOPBACKOFF state. The other engines were in RUNNING state as expected. We resolved the issue running the recovery script with these parameters: ./recovery.sh -p <password> -s <failing_engines> -ni  Then, the engines started correctly, and all the servers started up fine as well. However, the exiting process instances had disappeared from the Appian design view. Is there any way to refine the parameters used in the recovery script or another solution to recover the engines in CRASHLOOPBACKOFF state? As the same issue has happened in the Dev and Test environments we are concerned that it could happe

Hi All, I'm trying to get my automation tests to run in headless mode. <cucumber.appian.version>23.3</cucumber.appian.version> There's a section in the custom.properties to specify Chrome options #Use comma separated values ex: username=appian,accessKey=,browserName=Safari,platform=mySecretAccessKeycOS 10.13,version=11.1,name=My Safari Test#These two chromeOptions capabilities profile.default_content_settings.popups=0) and safebrowsing.enabled=true are hard coded capabilities.#You'll need to set chromeOptions to blank to override those capabilities.chrome.capabilities= 1.Has anyone had luck using above? If yes can you please share sample? 2.I've tried to setproperty,didn't work I see that setting capabilities,options and driver initialization is done in BaseFixture class. Has anyone tried to successfully override the method? Thanks!

Hi Experts, I'm trying to add validation on my Appian Portal Page which doesn't support Regex Functions and hence I have created a Web API which is validating weather entered IP is valid or not and calling it on the UI using an Integration Object, when I test the API using Postman, I receive the correct response. However, when I use Appian's Integration Object to call the same API, the response body comes back without any value. Valid Test Value: "1.1.1.1"  Postman Response: { "ipInfo": true }  Appian Response:  HTTP/1.1 200 200 Date: Thu, 02 Jan 2025 13:43:42 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 Connection: keep-alive Server: Apache Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload Cache-Control: private X-Trace-Id: a1956c41e9dd44f6226e475d8d145803 Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: style-src 'unsafe-inline' 'self' https://web-as

I conducted a test where I copied a tab character from Notepad and pasted it into an Appian text field. Appian recognizes the tab character as a special character rather than treating it as empty spaces. How can I configure or validate this so that Appian treats tab characters as empty spaces? Any insight would be appreciated.

While looking into the Dependents and precedents we found out that the issue was due to USER record type which is available by default in all environments. Has anyone faced similar scenario and how to work around it to successfully deploy the application from DEV to TEST ? FYI: 1. we have updated the instance version to latest release and also updated the User Record Type to latest version. 2. The missing precedent is the User record type fin the SS.

I am currently working on integrating Appian with an external system by exposing Appian RecordType data through a Web API. However, I am running into an issue because the Community Edition does not provide access to the Admin Console, and without access, I cannot generate an API key needed for authenticating my API requests.Is there any way to achieve this ?

I'm having an issue where the browser data loss popup shows up when I click on a a!safelink from a form. The link is configured to open a mailto window in a new tab, so no data loss should be occurring. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable this popup somehow, my assumption is no, but I wanted to check here and see if anyone had any suggestions.
