What to know if we can prevent multiple schedulers from firing when the server is down and then restarted? In our case we are using End User Reporting module, which has a time interval based Scheduler which runs every 15 mins. Our application servers are down outside office hours. If there is an notification schedule during the outage time, then on server startup the notifications get sent out 100 or more times, due to all the missed schedulers firing again on startup. For the fixed time schedulers we have used Advanced Condition on the timer to fix this problem. But we cannot use the same for a time interval based scheduler.

am encountering the following issue when attempting to start the Appian server as a local instance for plugin development: Error when running engine scripts ERROR com.appian.komodo.engine.KLicenseVerifier - Error starting K: null As per the possible solutions mentioned in the KB article, I have already: Requested and applied a new long team license to my local instance. Verified that there have been no changes in the following: The operating system. The CPU count. The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Ensured that no more than one hostname resolves to the local network IP of the machine where the license is installed.

Good morning. Is there any way to know, using the ID of an object, what its dependencies are and which application it belongs to from a rule? Thank you very much.

On an interface, I am setting the following validation using regular expressions. The format is [3-digit number] - [4-digit number]. Therefore, for example, if I enter a phone number like "080-0000-0000" here, a validation error will occur as shown below.Naturally, when I press the button, it doesn't submit and it stays on that page. However, a phenomenon occurred where nothing was submitted and the page changed.Since it cannot be reproduced, it is difficult to determine the cause.Do you know the cause? (Sorry for the screenshots written in Japanese.)

I have a documentDownloadLink, when user click on the link, it always calls a white screen and last for few seconds, after white screen disappear, the document starts download. Is the white screen expected? Or can it be overcame somehow?

Hi all - We're Using Reactivate User to procedurally reactivate accounts for re-hired contractors - but we also need to reset their passwords, as they're all accounts that previously utilized SSO.  In the past, the old accounts would have been left by the wayside and we would have just created them new ones (thus adding to the clutter-pile of disused accounts), but now we're able to change their username, which is a strong positive in general. The problem: Our customer / stakeholders are STRONGLY against forcing users to undergo the multiple clicks necessary to do a manual "forgot password" request on the sign-in page, and to be fair, nothing was "forgotten" in this case.  The days of having the "change password" smart service via plug-in are sadly long-gone, but we don't even have a way to procedurally kick off an automated password reset for a particular user.  Why? Edit: this issue is now satisfied thanks to the newer plug

Hi All, Can you please help me how to get the intersection of  Lists of array (number array). So I have a list of  number array which I construct in the interface. I need to only pick the common element  present in all the number array . I tried with loop and reduce function but not getting the actual result . It has been achieved by taking an array element and loop over other other array and check if present in all array then keep it or remove it which I feel is very dirty way of doing .  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks  Manish

Hello Community, Following situation: handover didn't go smoothly, so the password for the main Appian Oracle user which holds all tables was lost. The password was changed, and somehow the Data Source for the old configuration was gone in the Admin panel. Not sure how that happened, but I added it on all environments with the correct connection strings again. However, the Data Stores had to be configured anew. This luckily was no problem on Prod, but I am now facing an issue on Dev with a few distinct ones. When I select the Data Source and try to verify, I get this message: "An error occurred while attempting to verify the data store: Type definitions could not be found in the Appian data source for the following type ids: 5504 (APNX-1-4047-008)" So I tried checking the CDTs that are connected to it, and for each one I try I get this error: "HTTP Code: 500 APNX-1-4198-000 Error Evaluating UI Expression Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = HCBTYGS5

Hello,  How can I download a document that is stored in Appian from an external system?Currently, I am document(documentId, "url") to get the document's URL, then storing that URL to a table. My external system is grabbing that URL and attempting to CURL the url to download the file. An HTML document requesting the user to sign in is returned, so I am assuming that I must authenticate to Appian. Is there any documentation that can be pointed out on this process? I could not find anything in the docs.  Thank you

I am new to the Appian platform and am currently exploring the Appian Portals. I have created a portal, but I am unable to publish it as I am being prompted to add a service account. However, I don't have access to create one. To create a service account, I believe I need access to the Administration Console, but I cannot see it in the menu. Is this limitation due to the fact that I am using the Community Edition? Does the Community Edition not provide access to the Administration Console?

I am currently using Smart Service "Import Excel to Database".  The process works fine if I upload an Excel file with correct column headers and data values. In the excel file I purposefully changed the data values like changing a date value to a text value XYZ, changing Text value to a date value. When I upload this modified excel file: 1. The process does not error out. Process Model is showing everything as success. 2. The incorrect data did not get inserted. But my question is, how do I catch such data errors? I thought the Smart Service "Import Excel to Database" is going give some information on the errors. Please advise this.  In the real world we will not have perfect data all the time. Hence trying to figure this out. Regards, Mahesh
