Hi All,  I have to create a local date and set the time as 12:00 Am, For eg, if I am in the CST timezone and today date is 10/11/2021 then the date time should be 10/11/2021 12:00 AM CDT

Hi,We have a situation where we need to proceed to the next node when a smart node fails. Now, we have to manually start the next node and this is not a efficient way since the process will run for several hours. I tried using the timer in the exception flow but this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on how this can be achieved to prevent manual intervention? Smart Service used is "Move To Filesystem" under FileSystem Services. In the exception flow, I have used Timer set to 1 minute(exception tab) so it would take exception flow if the node stays for more than a minute.  Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Meena

Hi all, I have a process that I want to run, for the amounts of data/records on an array, BUT, I want to control the number of instances it runs each time. For example, I have 20k records but I want the process to execute 30 each time.

Hello, I'm working on a process model and I'm seeking advise on a way to save (extract) a document that was stored in a SQL table and store it into Appian Knowledge Center Document repository. The file is stored as binary in the SQL table, I have already created a queryEntity to return the records from the database, the next step is saving that data field into Appian Knowledge Center as a standard file/document. Thanks in advance.

Hi,      I have the following code where i want to display the message "Hello World" only once in a loop . what condition i should write? a!localVariables( a!forEach(                   items: {1,2,3,4},                  expression:                     {                                    concat("Hello "," World")                     }               ))

Hello, I'm trying to deploy to one environment to other environment and having problem with dataStores. It says, "The recordType [id=## uuid=##] was not imported because a required precedent is missing: dataStore cannot be found". Do I always have to create dataStore manually after the deployment? Also having uuid problems, since the deployed environment has different uuid. Please give advice to smoothly deploy an application from one environment to other and have it work right away. Thank you.

Suggestion: I'd like to suggest you update this tab values to an expression, so we can set constant values instead of literal values All of the other tabs already have their values as expressions. Reason: I'm having a 'corno job' changing more than 300 processes by hand. If I could change this to a constant, it would be easily changed by the next unfortunate one that needs to update this by just changing one constant.

Is there a way to store tp variables before a task is completed? I am making task reminder emailer subprocess with customized emails and reminder delays based on tp!name of active processes. I have a requirement to avoid using queryprocessanalytics due to appian telling us it is costly for a daily reminder emails.  Instead I am trying to keep track of the list in process. Example: I have 12 tasks going in parallel and need to keep a list of tp!ids and tp!names for active tasks.  Then pop them off the list when done.

Is this the correct format to raise a change request for the documentation?  In earlier versions, it was possible to see a complete list of all icons available for a!richTextIcon on a single page, this made finding the appropriate icon visually quite easy.  (See: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/Styled_Icon_Component.html) The newer style of documentation has taken the approach of nesting pages of icons making it impossible to find what you're looking for visually.  It's easy to use if you know the name of the icon you're looking for but for those of us who haven't memorized the naming scheme it becomes extremely tedious. Who is going to click scroll through 22 pages of icons?   The same documentaiton is referenced by the a!stampField() page.  While the preview window in the interface editor does show the icons, it is small, doesn't display many icons at once and is tedious to use when the icons are nested in loops.  I

Hi everyone.Do you know which is the minimum score for passing the Associate Developer Practice Test? I had scorse 65,5% but I hadn't pass it..

Hello I have a question regarding the grid component. I want to use both the main header and the sub header in the header part of the grid.Is there any way to make it possible? I tried both the read-only grid and the Editable grid, which are grids supported by Appian.There seems to be no way to use the sub header for the read-only grid. Editable grid says "Every row layout must have the same number of components and it must match the number of header cells".For such reason, it seems impossible to use the sub header. I tried to make it possible by using Card layout, but when changing to mobile modes the alignment got out of order and seem to have bad effect on performance. In general, isn't the sub-header function included as a basic function in grid? I'm sure there must be away but can't find how to use sub-header features. And if there is no way for now, I would like to know if there are any plans to add these features in future Appian.

Hi, Could you tell me if it is possible to launch a modal user task from a process ? I need to display a simple interface B (with only readonly data) above another interface A, but I need the later interface to be not refreshed, so I would need a modal dialog. It seems we can do such a thing with RecordType options (choose the modal dialog appearance), but I need to do it with a simple process (without any RecordType). Is there any parameter for this ? Regards

Hi, Can you pls help with any documentation on how to publish/consume message to/from KAFKA? I did search in the Appian documentation but could not find any relevant details.

What is best practice for this? I am trying to make an interface that schedules maintenance for a vehicle  using my maintenance CDT and displays the vehicle information from my vehicle CDT. I am wondering what the steps to do this are. The parent CDT I believe is maintenance as it uses vehicle ID as a foreign key. I already have the read only interface for vehicle information which is uses the following constant to pass information from the vehicles table into the interface. I have also made constants pointing to the data store for maintenance for the process model which I have not designed yet. PLEASE SEE ALL CONTEXT BELOW I am trying to get the above information to display here: As far as record types go I have created a new record type for Maintenance and added a related action to my Vehicles record type using:

Good afternoon all. Here is what's going on. I am given a string, or Text variable. This variable is used to store employee IDs. Although it is one variable, it can contain several IDs (or contain none). There is nothing I can do about this and I cannot change this. Now, I need to check if this value has any of the following: no values, one value, or many values. This Text can dynamically change when a user selects IDs, or removes them, from a custom picker. If the Text has several values, I am currently using split() to separate the IDs into an array, which is working fine. Then, I have a local variable that uses the array to get the names for each of those IDs. Unfortunately, the last ID is contained in the new array, but fails to update to the name. For example, if the following IDs exist: 1, 2, and 3, It will show: Peter, Paul, and 3. I'm currently using Appian 21.3. local!employeeIDs: if( isnull(ri!record.employeeIDs), null, split(ri!record.employeeIDs, ";")

HI Appian support, We need to create webAPI for starting a process model, which has a receive message smart service at the starting point of the process  model. This scenario we require for the Approval/decline workflow to be integrated using teams, that is, Approval from the teams app is associated with Approval API from the Appian web API, which will start a process model with receive message smart service event. How will I achieve the same work flow using Appian web API and process model, can anyone help me with this? Thanks Sunu Sam

I have requirement where i need to  sync Prod data in Test environment to perform load, performance and some functional testing. Issue is with Documents which are large in number. All these are transaction data saved during workflow in Prod and we need to use same in test environment to check the performance or load. SQL data can be copied which is in Million record. As documents are saved with ID in table, is there any way to copy Environment specific data(Which is of large volume) as it is into target env?

1. I have a process model "Main_Process". It wants a pv!letter from the below process it runs 2. Inside I have a Start Process node that calls a process model "Apple". It wants a pv!letter from the below that it runs. 3. Inside "Apple" I have a synchronous sub process "Core" inside that outputs to its parent an important value we will call pv!numberOfSeeds I can send data between 1 and 2 with activity chaining and outputting variables i want with AC!processinfo.pv My issue is that when 3 "Core" is involved, I can get nothing out of it, and any variables changes done during or after it are no longer visible in "Main_Process" Any ideas on how I can get values out of Core to my Main Process?
