Thanks. I got it working. I made a mistake in:

getdatasubsetdownloadlinkfromrule(rule: rule!exportAllEmployees()),

I put () after the rule name by mistake, after I remove it, it works.

Thanks to Betty, Tim and chandhinir

The log4j line should be more specific:
log4j.logger.com.appiancorp.ps.plugins.downloaddatasubsetfromrule=DEBUG

Thanks, Betty.
I don't know what's wrong. I have this line in my log4j file:

log4j.logger.com.appiancorp.ps.plugins=DEBUG

And there is no error in the log, don't know what might be wrong.

Guozhang,

The plugin is supported on Appian 7.5. I retested your specific scenario and I was unable to reproduce your error. Have you updated your logging settings? The documentation states:
-Data export error details are logged at the ERROR level
-Link generation expression errors are logged at the WARN level
-Data export performance statistics are logged and the DEBUG level

I attached all the files I tested with:
-rule that generates the ExportableDataSubset (the query rule used just returns all employees)
-SAIL interface that generates the link
-screenshot of the CDT
-screenshot of the corresponding database table

TEST_downloadLinkForm.txt

TEST_getAllEmployees.txt

I tried and it's not working. I'm not sure it's somehow related to the version or not.

So I downloaded the jar file and trying to compile it, and I get this error: The type com.appiancorp.process.expression.ServiceMatch cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files.

Also I don't know why the systemOut file has no output from this plugin, even though the log4j properties file has an entry for com.appiancorp.ps.plugins

chandhinir :
I double/triple checked and the value in fieldNames is the column name in CDT and the case also matches. I also tried lower case/upper case and I still can't get the link. Thanks.

Hi,
Just to confirm about the field name used in the Export Rule.Did you use the column name specified in the CDT or is it any other text?
You should use the element name specified in the CDT for the fieldNames attribute.

I tried the input parameter (input: "") and it's not helping :(

So where you're calling the rule is fine but I think your getAllEmployees rule still needs to have the input parameter even if it's not used. That's my experience with the cloud version and it's process model

The documentation states that your rule must include a parameter called "input" and that when calling the plugin rule you must pass a value of type text as the 2nd parameter. Your code doesn't look like it does this...

Thanks, Tim. I have all those. The link field is inside firstColumnContents, and there is a gridfield after the link. I just posted the essential one to save the space. In fact, the grid is displayed successfully, just the link is not showing up. I don't know what's wrong. I don't have any input for getdatasubsetdownloadlinkfromrule, will this cause problem. Also it seems getdatasubsetdownloadlinkfromrule generate an Excel file as an Appian document, does anyone know which Appian KC or Folder will this document get stored? Maybe the access issue to this Appian KC/Folder?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Is this the exact code? If so you are missing attribute labels in your a!dashboardLayout, add the "firstcolumncontents{}" identifier, without it no fields will render.

The SAIL Report shows but the link to EXCEL is never showing and I checked the sysout file from Websphere and there is no error, so what might go wrong? Please help. Thank you in advance.
