Hi David,

We did not unfortunately.

Pawan, did you ever find a way to determine the object from the Opaque ID? We are in the same predicament as you were. Trying to find which object is the culprit to crashing our server. All Appian support could give us was the URL with the Opaque ID.

Out of interest, we have the same problem, and when asking Appian support to identify the object from the URL Opaque ID, they couldn't help, and simply said we have to go to the URL to see which interface it takes us to, but suggested doing it after hours incase it crashed our server again.

Then I would ask Appian to support in identifying that object.

One of our Devs clicked on a design object that crashed our dev environment. When I said crash, I meant the app server restarted due to high heap utilization.

The developer does not know what object was opned that caused this. All we have to go after is a URI that contains a opaque ID.( Received from Appian Support Ticket). So I was trying to understand what design object is that opaque ID pointing to. I can't go to the URI because that would cause the same issue as before.

Understood. But again, what is your goal? Linking to any Appian design objects will never be part of an application.

Then, what exactly do you mean with "my environment is crashing"?

I don't believe they are session specific for Appian objects. I was trying to reverse engineer (if possible) what the opaque ID is pointing to.

What are you trying to do? AFAIK the URLs are specific to your session and are not persistent.
