hi there,we have an issue with the node "call web service". We are sending some information to "System A" by using the web service. But if "System A" is not available the web service node just stops with an error.  Though the flag "Pause Node on HTTP Error" is set to false.     I would like to handle the error in the process afterwards but this is not possible in this case. Is an easy solution available to handle this problem ? Otherwise I need think about a workaround. thanks Yusuf

Hello All,  We have a requirement to send document to another system using FTPS.   Ive installed the required plugin.   I have added third party credentials in admin console.   When I execute the process to test the connection, I get the following error message: There was an error opening the connection to <servername>. Received fatal alert: handshake_failure Is there anything I miss here? Also, please note this is on premise environment. Should we need to set up FTPS server exclusively for Appian to send files?

Hi all, I'm trying to integrate with Microsoft's Graph API and I'm having a bit of trouble. When attempting to get the bearer token, I'm being returned a html page.  Graph API returning HTML and not json (microsoft.com) <- This source suggests that setting the outgoing content type would resolve this, however I'm not sure where on the integration to put this. I'm quite new to using the Graph API at all and so I'll admit the set up I've gone for may be wrong. Could anyone advise on the authorization/access/token process to get the bearer token in Appian? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to connect to Microsoft Graph, specifically at the moment to retrieve an access token. Please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-v2-service#4-get-an-access-token for more details. First, I've got this to work without using a Connected System (Just a HTTP Integration). The problem I would like to overcome is that of the security of the client secret. As per https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/Integration_Object.html#encrypted-values I only have three options which is to hard code it in plain text in the integration object, to put it into an expression rule or use a connected system. The expression rule is out as it would expose the client secret as plain text and it doesn't appear as though I can utilize the Third-Party Credentials store through the a!scsField() function. As per the Microsoft Graph documentation (first link above) I need to construct the Request Body as follows (This is the example from the documentat

So far, I have only been working on training cases or debugging existing projects, so please bear with me if this is a newbie issue. I have a training data set of various documents (as JPG and PDF) of different kinds, and by certain features (like prevailing color, repetitive layout) I intend to classify them (e.g. invoice type 1, invoice type 2, not an invoice). In a 2nd step, I would like to OCR certain predefined areas of each document and extract e.g. the address of the company sending the invoice and the date. The architecture I am envisioning is the following: In Appian, I have a UI where I can upload new files, which are saved by Appian locally in a directory with filenames like “document_12345689.pdf”. Meta info like upload timestamp, user, original file name should be persisted in a (Appian) database The file should is then submitted to google cloud which should do the classification step, and deliver back the label to Appian to be saved in the database. The page

Hi All, I want to learn how to upload document using WEB API. I am using the link https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/passing-a-web-api-document-into-a-process-model.html but could not configure each node in the Process model as it was not given in detail.

I built an integration using Microsoft Graph so I'm limited in retrieving 100 records per request. I know I need use the @odata.nextLink in the next GET call. In Power Automate I just loop through the calls using the @odata.nextLink and append each set of results in a array variable. How do I do this in Appian? Thank you, Americo

Do you know if this is possible, and if so what's involved? Is there an Appian Node module available?

We would like to migrate data from various applications (eg java , Oracle etc) into APPIAN using an ETL tool. Please let us know which tool would be a best fit in this case. Is Informatica Power Center compatible with Appiian .If not ,do suggest other tools.

We have a script task that calls a rule within which we make a few calls to some integrations and then process the returned data and save into a PV and then the flow continue further.now the problem is the API catering us with the data is not a stable one and fails sometimes causing the script task to fail. I want to implement a loop around in the process model where I should be able to loop back to the script task and retry executing. how do we approach this problem. I want to reduce human intervention here as much as possible.
