How can we get the system icons like "Timer event", "Script task&

Why do you need the icons? Is it to use them in your plug-in?

Yes Eduardo, I need to use those icons in my plug-in.

Icons for smart services are under <APPIAN_HOME>\\web.war\\process\\designer\\img\\smartnodes\\canvas\\ and <APPIAN_HOME>\\web.war\\process\\designer\\img\\smartnodes\\palette

Smart services on Forum also come with the icons inside the JAR if you need to re-use some of them.

Thank you Edurado. I already got the icons from this location. From this, I can get the static icons only, but how can I map to the specific node of the process.

I need to get the icon, which is specific to the node in the process at the execution of my plug-in.

In plug-in code, I got the "processNodes" object, which is a object of "RuntimeProcessNode" class. So I need the icon from this "processNodes" object. I can get the icon id from "processNodes.getIcon()". But I can't able to send this as a document to the output of plug-in.

I tried to cast Icon id to document type, tried to save the Icon content, tried to get the icon from Icon's UUID by using content service and content classes. But it is not worked in any ways.

I am not sure why you need to retrieve the icon of the node. If you just need to assign an icon to your smart service you just need to put it in the JAR

Edurado,
My intention is not to set an icon to my plug-in. The requirement is to get the process node details.

Let say, We can get the "User input task" node of the process in the plug-in code, by using API. I can able to fetch the details of "User input task" node like id, name, UUID, description...etc. Along with these details, I need to get the Icon as well. And, all these details should be output of my plug-in. So how can I achieve this?

The getIcon() method returns the canvas icon (<id>.gif) and getPaletteIcon() returns the palette icon (<id>.gif). You cannot map the to Appian documents because they are not. These icons are retrieved from the server as a file on disk rather than as a logical document in the Collaboration Engine.

You might need to actually do a GET to bring the icon into a document in Appian, probably doable with forum.appian.com/.../HTTP_File_Download_Smart_Service.html

/suite/process/designer/img/smartnodes/canvas/<ID>.gif
/suite/process/designer/img/smartnodes/palette/<ID>.gif

but to be honest I think this is more cumbersome for something that is not as relevant as the rest of the node information. The icon shouldn't matter as long as you can get its name, type, uuid, etc.

If you're interested in this level of detail then the Process Model Documentation is a better approach in my personal opinion

Thank you Eduardo.

do you know where are the news event icons are stored in the local install ...looking for the directory location.

<APPIAN_HOME>\\_admin\\accdocs1\\0
