Hi, It was identified during the Monthly Health check that few of the interfaces is hampering the Prod performance, I learned looking at the code that we have many calls to the different integration object in just single interface and each of them are taking a lot of time to get the response back. We did few analysis on Appian code as well, where large data set is not retrieved using large batch size, looping functions are used wherever it's necessary, not many dynamic components are used etc Finally it was drilled down that Integration call is the main culprit which is hampering the performance, we tried hard if we can exclude the integration call wherever iit's possible and just to call the integration only when it's necessary, after thinking through every call made is genuine and required. Before we go ahead with API services team for the solution can we check anything from Appian perspective before having a discussion with them, Thanks in advance, Nimisha.

I cannot connect my Robot to MS Access in local PC where AppianRPAagent.exe exists.I am getting an error message "No suitable driver found for jdbc:ucanaccess://C:\AppianRPA\AppianRPARbot-CustomJavaCode\UcanAccess\AccessFile\targetDB.accdb". However, after implementing JDBC using the same connection string When java is executed on eclipse, to connect to MS Access is successful without issue.So I think the connection string is correct. In this case, I think there are two main reasons.-1. The external jar required to run JDBC has not been built to Appian. By the way, I'm using a library called "ucaccess".-2. In the first place, Appian RPA cannot access local files by design. I have two questions about 1.・Is the external jar unusable in Appian RPA?・Is there a way to check if the external jar is built correctly? I have a questions about 2.・Is this inference correct? If you know of any possible reasons other than the above, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi team, We are using the OOTB Sharepoint Integration feature to upload documents from Appian. Everything works as expected, but for random docs, the docs in SP are getting corrupted and we are not able to open it. Please note that we are able to open the same document in Appian. So, I strongly feel that while pushing documents from Appian to SP, it is getting corrupted. I also did compare the size: the corrupted document in SP are of lesser size compared to actual document in Appian. Did anyone faced the similar issue? I am sure that there is no change in Process / documents that are being uploaded and please note that it happens very randomly. Regards,Sriram. S

Hello, I am trying to authenticate with DocuSign through Oauth following their documentation of oauth https://developers.docusign.com/platform/auth/authcode/authcode-get-token/ The thing is that I am trying to achieve this without using a connected system. I have created an integration that makes the request of the first step which is: Which the response according to the docusign documentation should be a callback with a code: But the response I am getting on my integration is this (the code that should be received is nowhere to be found): Here is how I have configured the integration: Does anyone know how to configure the integration in order to get the correct response? What I need is the code that should come in the response. Thank you! 

Hi all, Is there any smart Service that create a process or create an interface like there is a expresión rule smart Service? Appian creates some processes and interfaces automatically within the record wizard when creating action. My purpose is just to create the empty objects (no logic/code inside), therefore I name them as my naming convention. Developers must implement them. Thank you

Hi, I need to call a danish web service (KMD Workzone). It uses the OData protocol, which is a protocol for REST APIs. The authentification protocol is NTLM. Problem is, I can't find a way in Appian to combine REST and NTLM: If I use an integration object, then it must use a connected system, and NTLM is not among the 7 supported authentification protocols. If I use the smart service "Call web service", then it seemingly supports NTLM, but only in combination with the SOAP protocol (it requires a WSDL). It seems that at one time the plugin WebAndXMLExtensions could do this, but it is not in the App Market anymore.  Regards, Søren Juul

Hello, I've been trying to make a dual-y chart. If I understood correctly, I had to use googleScatterChartField, but I can't see the labels of axis and values for the second y.

Hello, I'm looking for automation to validate that all plugins installed in our QA environment are also installed in our production environment. Right now we have to read through the list of plugins in our admin console but this is a manual process that we're looking to get away from. Does Appian provide a web api or anything that would allow us to get a list of plugins for each environment?

Hi Team, We have a requirement where the client tool can only upload files which are in octet format. We have exposed a web api using "upload document" template of web-api which helps client team to upload files from their systems to our Appian environment.  Can someone help me with the code required for uploading a file in octet format from external system to our appian environment using a web api. We use appian version 22.2 Thank you

Hello! I would like to send JSON payload to external API after the user completes ADD NEW CLIENT form created in Appian.  { "lastName": "John", "firstName": "Smith", "birthDate": "1987-04-26", "emailAddress": "shogun@go.com", "mobilePhone": "+60-11-12345678" } So the information provided in this form would be sent externally. I created connected system HTTP and POST integration. I suppose I need to also create a CALL INTEGRATION smart service that would send this payload externally, after adding newly created client to Appian Data Store. Am I correct? Am I right?  I don't know how to capture in the integration itself the data from a given smart service in a process. So basically now what happens is when I complete the add new client form it triggers the call integration smart service at it sends to external API hardcoded JSON data from below. Do I need to call these process variables from JSON? Am I going in the right direction or am I entirely wrong?&n

Hi,  I am getting below response from Integration & I want highlighted part only in output. how we can achieve that? Regards, Kiran
