Sever went down showing formatting Issue

Hi All,

Our server is going down frequently. When I checked the logs, the only issu, I am seeing is below:

ERROR com.appiancorp.asi.taglib.TaglibUtil - An EL expression couldn't be evaluated. The expr is "${PORTAL_APP_CONFIG.copyright}" and the attribute name is "value". An error occurred while evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "${PORTAL_APP_CONFIG.copyright}": An error occurred while getting property "copyright" from an instance of class com.appiancorp.ap2.PortalApplicationConfiguration (java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException: Format specifier '%4$s')

This is the value that I had set in my custom.properties file for copyright:

resources.appian.ap.application.appian.ap.copyright=%1$s (v%2$s) \\u00A9%4$s

Hi Rishub,

I can see that you have set the %4$s which does not exist at appian.

You need to set property in following correct way for custom.properties file.

resources.appian.ap.application.appian.ap.copyright=\\u00A9%2$s %3$s

Where

\\u00A9 is copyright symbol

%2$s is the copyright year

and %3$s is company name.

The %2$s will be referred to this property:
resources.appian.ap.application.appian.ap.copyrightYear=2016

The %3s$ Property referred to this:
resources.appian.ap.application.appian.ap.appianName=Your Company Name

Which needs to be setup first in custom.properties.

Thanks Manish for Info but when I looked into properties I could see that we had used "## %1$s - the Application name", "## %2$s - the version number", "## %3$s - the copyright year" & "## %4$s - the company name". So in 7.11, we don't mention the version number?

Hi Rishub,

in version 7.11 there are only three properties available as mentioned in comments. You can use version and company name in single property as (v 7.11 Company name). The property will be
resources.appian.ap.application.appian.ap.appianName=Version 7.11 Your Company Name

Please try removing %4$s and use %3$s only. and define version name and company name together in %3$s only.

Thanks.
