External system calling appian web api with some json value. Now I have to put those data into database and send response accordingly.
Response code to send: 204 for success, 207 for partial success(eg. when 5 out of 10 records added successfully), 400 (bad gateway), 500, 502 and 504
How to configure it and test it in appian itself?

Hi Sudipta Biswas are there any specific reason behind overriding the default HTTP Status code?
As you might be aware that, status 204 stands for "No content" where as you want to return 204 for success. I agreed, http status 2xx indicates success but still each code indicates different statuses. E.g.
200: OK
201: Created
202: Accepted
203: Non-Authoritative Information
204: No Content etc...
Generally when you are working with Web API then API takes care of the http responses e.g. (404, 500, 201, 200 etc..) however as per our requirement we can customise few responses (but not all, e.g. 404) by using a!httpResponse() function.
Also, when you are persisting the data into the db using WEB API , I recommend using process model instead of smart service functions, because if it's a process, you will have better trace of the data and better control to debug the issues occued (if any).
The above mention URL explains the basics about, how to create and configure a WEB-API in Appian. May i know, what do you me to refer here please?
