Is there a way to get the process model ID from its UUID?...

Ideally, I need to get all the process models IDS of all the process models in an application.

Two options:

1. Content Details by UUID Plug-in forum.appian.com/.../summary

2. All Process Models Report adding a column defined as pm!uuid and one as pm!id then filter to show the models you need

Thank you Eduardo. I will use the second option since our environment version is < 7.0

The plugin should work on <7.0 too

Thank you Eduardo, the getProcessModelDetailsByUuid() works like a charm!

Is there a way to use the UUID with the "Start Process Model" smart service in 17.1? I can use the ID to start the process, but I&#x27;d rather use UUID, since ID differs per environment. (I want to set up constants to point to the processes that will be started, which differ per environment. Unfortunately, environmental constants can only be used on primitive types - hence my preference for using UUID over ID, since I can&#x27;t use a Process Model type for this constant.)

getprocessmodeldetailsbyuuid returns a string that would need to be parsed to get the ID, which is not ideal. A more direct function to get just the ID would be best, or something that returns it in a dictionary instead of a string.

Any reason you don&#x27;t create constants of type "Process Model", which are fine being exported/imported to different environments and can be used directly in the smart service?

I think what Eduardo suggested is correct and also I we can use the constant calling, but I do not think the constant of type process model can be created in <7.0 and below. for that you can use the reporting or the plugin concept and at the later versions you can directly use the PM constant and can use tointeger(cons!PM) will give you the PMID

In my particular use case, we cannot use constants of type process model, because the process models referred to in the constant won't exist on every environment, so the import would fail.

Some background:
We have a single development environment, but two production environments - one that is internal to our network, and one that is exposed externally. Each is used for multiple Appian applications, and will host apps based on whether they need to be internal or external. I am setting up an LDAP Sync application that will live on BOTH servers, but many of our apps will need to do some additional processing on their users after the sync completes, so I want to call several process models dynamically using the "Start Process Model" smart service.

If it were possible to mark non-primitive constants as "environmental" constants, this would work. Since they can't be, I need to use IDs and make those environmental constants - but IDs don't exist before the first import. It would be much cleaner to store the UUIDs and instead make an environmental constant that specifies which set of UUIDs to use - if there were a clean way to get the ID from the UUID, or a way to run the process from the UUID instead.
