Hello Sanjay, I'm using the same plugin as you used some months ago, but I'm having an error

without any description

I put this text {"codigoBase64":"aG9sYSBtdW5kbw="} in a file.txt and this is the value in the Indocument paramater

and in Document Json Path I put "codigoBse64",

in the outputs, I put in New Document Created[] parameter a document that is already in Appian, but I think that is wrong

Can you give me an example of how you used the plugin?

Thnaks in advance!!!!

Hi,
As of 18.2 version, it is 3MB limit when we use the covertdoctobase64, though it is not mentioned explicitly. We can restrict file size to <3MB to circumvent this problem. Not sure if this is taken care in 18.3 version.

Jose,

I am not seeing any kind of time out from the service. It is getting executed within 5 ~ 10 seconds. But I am getting an error saying that object is null when the document is > 5 MB.
We are trying multiple things.
I will keep you posted.

Hello Sanjay

For me that sounds like a problem with timeouts. For example. if you could convert the file to base64 before been requested. What does the log files say about the error?

In the other hand, Are you in the cloud? If so, Maybe another solution could be the version 18.3?

From the releases notes you have this
“Send Documents Using Base64 Inline with JSON & XML
Sending documents from Appian to other systems has never been easier. Integrations can now send Base64-encoded documents inline with a JSON or XML request. Base64-encoded documents go into the Integration's body, which can automatically convert the CDT to JSON or XML.”

docs.appian.com/.../Appian_Release_Notes.html

Do you think this could help? I am not sure if there is any limit on this but at least that is something you can ask to support team.

Jose
