Hello,
I have been struggling with an issue for almost 2 days so far.
I have an integration in a process that is triggered by a web API.
I am repeating this integration up to 5 times the response was not successful.
In the case where the response of the integration is successful in the first time, I am getting back the required response that is a json format that I am indexing from a process variable.
In the case where the integration is repeated twice or more, the response I am getting back is empty as if the process variable was returned as a null value.
The response i am indexing is the variable where I am saving the httpresponse from the integration.
So again, if integration goes through from the first time, the response is filled, if it goes through on the second time or more, the response is empty as if the web API only considered the first value saved in the variable where i am saving the httpresponse and it's not updating it; and when i check the process variables, i can see that the process variable is filled properly.
Any ideas or any suggestions on how to resolve this?
This is the response I am getting when the integration is happening twice or more:
{
}
when it's successful on the first trial, i am getting the below which is what we are expecting:

Can you elaborate on that "same problem"?

Thank you for your response.
Here is my problem detail.

Thanks and need help
I have been reading it and did not really understand what you are trying to do.
Seems like you try to force Appian to somehow do this base64 conversion, which is difficult and tricky, and you will run into memory issues sooner or later.
@Stefan Helzle
I'm trying to implement an Appian Web API (POST method) that is exposed to an external system.A file is sent from an external system( Sending base64 inline with JSON) and the file format is base64.In appian, files are managed by unique ID.So convert the base64 value received by web api and change to appian value .
I understand. Pushing larger volumes of text into a process will get you into trouble sooner or later.
I strongly recommend to try to change that on the other side. Appian supports multipart posts where one part is the meta data, and the other is the binary file.
Thank you for yor advice.
