We're cloud based so pretty sure we do not have access to the admin folder as suggested.

However I have found that the Appian Healthcheck produces a wealth of information in a file called HC-PROCESS-NODES.csv in the root logs folder.

The activity class local id on the CSV file will then provide the namespace of the smart service being used - compare to the namespace of the plug ins you have installed and that ought to provide a pretty good measure of which models are using which plug in smart service(s).

Hi Satty,

One way of doing this on cloud can be exporting your process models in a single package and searching for the plugin key inside the processModel folder in your exported zip file.

Thanks to reply,
You suggestion looks will work for custom smart services, but here, I have to replace all deprecated plugins used earlier.
Those are Appian provided one

One possible solution is to wrap a custom smart service node in its own process model, then call the process through a sub-process node. Then you could check dependencies through Designer. This could also be helpful if you change a custom plugin by changing its inputs/outputs so that when you deploy, you need to update the given node less times.

For the cloud system, how can we check, any idea about that. Is there any plugin to search by smart service name or type

One idea is:

In the appian-plugin.xml inside the JAR you'll see the key of the smart service. You can then do search for this word within <APPIAN_HOME>\\_admin\\models to find the UUID's of the models that have references to these plug-ins.
