Any idea please? Thx.

Please double check your standalone.xml and ensure that there are no typos.
Since you have installed Appian 7.2, did you also install JBoss AS7? The documentation assumes that you have already installed Appian and JBoss AS 7.1.1 with the provided installer and completed your own installation of JBoss EAP 6.1.0 Final

If you have installed AS7, you can use the standalone.xml file that came with AS7 to compare to the one you have configured for EAP 6.1.0 to ensure that the elements are in their appropriate tags. Not all elements will line up, but it serves as a good reference.

Patty. Thanks for update. Sorry, I am trying to install Appian 7.3 not 7.2. my standalone xml file looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
