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.

Hi I am wondering if it is possible to use the readexcelsheet() function on a rule input file (ri!Submission.submissionfile) which is uploaded in the same interface. a!textField( label: "Rules", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: readExcelSheet( excelDocument: ri!Submission.submissionfile, sheetNumber: 1, startRow: 9, numberOfColumns: 4 ).result.values[1,4], saveInto: ri!rules, refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", readOnly: true, validations: {} ) Should this be possible or does the function only work within a process model? In the interface I am getting the following error: 'Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function 'readExcelSheet'' while in the process model it works (with process variables) Thanks in advance! Chris

I have two requirements that I am not sure how to tackle:1. I need to to export a datasubset, dictionary, cdt, or map to excel (basically data that is in appian, not in the db) in an interface. 2. I need to upload an excel spreadsheet, and extract the data to display in a grid in the UI.  So I need to extract it to a datasubset, dictionary, cdt, or map. Is there any OTB functionality or plugin that could achieve one or more of these requirements?

Hi all, This scenario has few relevant details. Will try to make all them visible... I need to send an XML SOAP message to a third party, and the message has embedded a document, which has to be codified (uuencode) in base64. Reading the documentation, the approach has to be the creation of a full set of data types with the same structure than the XSD to be sent. So far, so good. I'm able to send a full data type with the file using an Integration call, setting the content type as XML (application/xml), in the content I have the data structure and I ticked the Automatically convert CDT to XML. This is a post message with an specific header and basic authentication. Now, that third party says is unable to consume the message if there is no a proper SOAP header in the XML... Simple, right? I need to add this: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="">schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../" > <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> --> here goes my message </s
