If we post on the forum will it ever actually be seen by Appian Engineering? Also it would be great if there was a single location to view all the requests that have been submitted. I would love to vote on stuff to help Appian see the things that would add the most value.

Hello Appian Community, Hope you are doing fine! I am new in Appian and I am managed to install Appian 21.2 HA Distributed environment in RedHat RHEL 8.4, so far all the installation steps were successfully completed, the Apache with Mod_JK is successfully working and I can access to the login page of the Administration Console (https://appian.mydomain.com/suite/admin) without any problem. But if I try to login using the username and password specified in the passwords.properties I got always a 401 Unauthorized in all the login pages (admin and suite base). I dig into the logs but there is no information neither error. I have 3 servers with all the services running (services, data-server, search-server, tomcat) and no information about the authentication. After the first start, the file passwords.properties is removed (as expected), so all should be working fine, isn't it? I reinstall already 3 times, tried to encrypt the password using the configure.sh script but so far I alw

Hi All, In MySQL/MariaDB, we have an option to default the column value while creating a table(For Example createdBy: System; createdOn: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP). In Appian, if we set those values to NULL and pass them to DB, those default values get initialized and stored in the appropriate table. This works fine in MySQL and MariaDB However, Whilst tries the same in SQL Server, I don't see that the default values get triggered and stored into the fields. Should I add anything else for SQL Server DB? Did anyone face this issue before? Note: I don't want to set the values in Appian and store them in DB. Instead, I need to handle it DB end. Thanks in advance.

Recently one of the dev updated the Excel tools plugin from 2.0.2 to new 2.2.13 version in Appian and this has lead to breakage of the Export CDT To Excel smart service. can anyone suggest what can be done to resolve this issue?Note:  We are on Cloud. We tried to use the new Export Data Store to Excel plugin however it does not support XLSM files. EDIT: Export Data Store to Excel also does not support alias with space in it. this makes it hard to generate excel files in user friendly manner. We use the generated files to upload to a system and it requires header to be in specific manner and does not accept with different headers.   Example:       Previously: First Name      Now: First_Name Thanks,Bhushan.

In creating new group, I have recently created an application with the new group name Acme All Users, but I deleted my entire application and wanted to start over. Now, when I create the same application name and same group name as Acme All Users, I see the error saying Name already exist. Where do I go to totally delete this group so I can start from scratch.

Hi , If we have 2 rows of buttons which holds separate SAIL forms on each button click, i.e. calls different SAIL UIs with a choose function. And I want to submit the form and come back to the same selected button. Is there any way to do this ? Because once I click on a submit button configured in any of the SAIL UI, it is taking me back to the first selected button called SAIL, rather than staying on the same button SAIL UI. Is there any way I can stay on the same page the button was selected once I submit where submit is true ? For Example :-  Row 1 is having Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3 and so on If I select a tab from Row 1 then in Row 2 I see sub tabs ex- on selection of Tab 1 I will see Tab 1.1, Tab 1.2, Tab 1.3 and so on Now if I am on Tab 1.3 and want to submit my form, I expect Appian to stay on same tab i.e. 1.3. But it is going to the first sub tab i.e. 1.1 ​ Is this a normal behavior in Appian or some issue with implementation

Hi All, In one of my POC I am having requiremnt of converting a document(jpg,pdf) into base64 and storing the base64 in Database. I am using Base64 to Database Services to store the document, but instead of base64 string it is storing Appian ID itself. Below are the screenshots of smart service node and database design. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks Table Structure (also I tried Varbinary, blob data type for base64)

We are having a requirement where we are getting values from an external application via a webAPI. In the web API we are casting the data into a CDT.The value we receive from the application would be something like.{"person" : {"name": "Shaun","age" : 27},"address" : {"addressLine" : "24-Wall Street","city":"London"}}.After this we are casting this into person and address CDT in appian and passing to the process model. If the person and address values is empty we would be receiving the data like {"person" : {},"address" :{}}.Now when I am casting this null Data inside CDT, this is getting casted and passed in process model like [name=null;age=null][addressLine=null;city=null]. I need to perform a null check in process model on these values which is getting failed.Also when I am checking the length of "person" or "address" its showing as 1 instead of 0.

The "Save Interface As Action"  option is not available to me in the Save Interface As dialog. Can anyone please help on why this behavior? Thanks in advance.

Hi, i'm trying in an editable data grid to "intercept" o simulate the "on data change" event. i want to return a rule input value to the parent interface that called the actual interface (with an a!save of the input passed) when data in the datagrid are changed but not saved. So if i remove a row, add a row or save data the events are present and all go right. The problem is that i cant do an "a!save" of the ri! paramenter when dataChange in the editable datagrid.

The only documentation I've seen does not have any examples for this object type. I managed to create one shown below but I don't know if this is correct. Some input/guidance would be appreciated. ## connected system credentials for API## Name: WM Maximo Passport Connection content._a-0000e671-0a5b-8000-9c01-011c48011c48_9065909.baseUrl=evelopment..com/.../content._a-0000e671-0a5b-8000-9c01-011c48011c48_9065909.authTypeOAuth Client Credentials Grantcontent._a-0000e671-0a5b-8000-9c01-011c48011c48_9065909.clientSecret=myClientSecretValuecontent._a-0000e671-0a5b-8000-9c01-011c48011c48_9065909.clientId=myCleintIdvaluecontent._a-0000e671-0a5b-8000-9c01-011c48011c48_9065909.tokenUrl=development.com/.../token
