Unable to Publish Portal

Certified Senior Developer

Hi, 

When I try to publish a portal, I am seeing the following error:

Publishing error. Could not publish. When connecting directly to an external data source you must use a data source connected system. Check the following data sources: jdbc/Appian.

Please help.

    Hi Ankur,

    Thanks for reaching out with your use case! Today, you are not able to extract multiple table fields in a document, such as tables that appear on multiple pages, into your Appian data type. I recommend that you split the document into individual pages before uploading to IDP, extract the table on each page to the table in your data type, and then use a post-processing rule to merge the results before writing to the db. If the table has column headers on each page, IDP should be able to automatically extract it.

    You can automatically split the PDF file into individual pages using the PDF Tools plugin.
