Hi Everyone,  I recently attempted the Appian L2 certification but unfortunately did not pass. I've been studying using Appian Community videos, documentation, and the official exam objectives. To further enhance my preparation, I'm seeking specific documentation links and topics that are directly relevant to the L2 certification. This will help me verify if I've missed any crucial topics. Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations for mock exams or practice scenarios focused on senior developer-level questions.  

Hi ,  We need to implement a requirement that limits the number of concurrent sessions per user. For example, if User A logs in through Session 1 and then attempts to log in on another device via Session 2, Session 1 should be terminated. Ultimately, we want only one active session per user at a time. The "Limit Number of Concurrent Sessions Per User Account" setting will allow a minimum of two sessions, but instead of terminating the first session, it will trigger an error when attempting to log in with a new session. is there any way to achieve this functionality? . The Application is on premise 24.4

Hello everyone, I am working on a project and need assistance with segregating output values. Specifically, I want to segregate the values and only retrieve the ones corresponding to a particular column. Can someone guide me on how to achieve this or suggest a solution within Appian to isolate the values from a specific column? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to know whether Appian Market is shrinking? Looks like we have fewer Appian openings in job market these days? What is community experience on this?

Hello Community, We are currently using Appian for BPM-related processes, but recently we have started utilizing Appian as a backend service to handle multiple API requests in one of our services. We've defined REST services in Appian, and our clients are now calling these APIs, essentially treating Appian as a web server. However, we are facing some performance challenges, including timeouts and long response times. We also conducted load testing, and the results were below our expectations in terms of performance under heavy loads. My question is: based on your experience, is Appian designed to handle high API request loads in this manner (i.e., functioning like a web server)? Should Appian be used for such purposes, or should this approach be avoided due to potential limitations in handling large-scale API traffic? Any best practices, optimization tips, or insights on the suitability of Appian for this use case would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hi, I run some SAS Programs manually. Is there a way, That I can schedule the run of SAS codes via Appain . Please help

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with one of my process models in Appian. The process is supposed to trigger automatically based on a record event, but sometimes it just doesn’t start. There are no errors in the logs, and when I manually start the process, it works perfectly. I’ve already checked the record event settings, confirmed the security permissions, and verified that the process model is published and active. Could this be related to caching, background job scheduling, or something else I might be overlooking? Thanks!

In the image below, the labels are shown as 0, 10K, 20K on y-axis. How can I change this in Appian? I searched, but there is no field in the a!columnChartField(). I want to do this in a column chart. Please give me a solution.  

Normally when a new application is released there is this guided tour "clicked here to do this", "clicking here does this" if the new user wants to continue, they keep clicking and if they want to they have a choice to exit that tour. Does Appian have any such feature to record such a feature for an application developed/released in Appian?

Hi, I'm using a record action to open an interface in a new tab. When the new tab opens it shows a Sumary button upside the content, which is not possible to hide, but as an alternative I would like to know if I can show the same interface when pressing the button. Right now when pressed it shows a blank interface as in the image. Thanks!

Hi, I am checking whether any deprecated functions are used in our application objects using expression search. When I search for the deprecated function buttonWidgetSubmit, all process models with user input tasks are displayed. However, these process models and interfaces in user input tasks are not actually using this function. I also created a new process model from scratch and applied the same search criteria, which listed the newly created process model as well. Can you help me understand the issue behind this?

Getting this error on comparing one particular record while it works for comparing other records. Tried to delete the record and create new and deployed to QA but still on making change same issue comes. Checked the security same as other records. Part of all admin groups of record security. Not sure what is the problem with this record type alone. even deleted the table in QA and recreated again from DEV with DDL picked from DEV db. Everything is same. When change is made its showing as Changed on comparison but on clicking what changed the attached error is coming.

Scenario: I have a created a reusable fileUploadField component which I am planning to use in all existing fileUploadField field in all apps. I have created a rule inputs for all the parameters of the fileUpload field and passing values to the common component while calling it. In saveInTo of the common component I am calling a!startProcess which will run asynchronously(i.e. no activity chaining).  Issue:  When I drag and drop multiple documents to file upload, a!startProcess is being called multiple times. Is this behavior expected? i.e when I upload multiple docs at the same time, saveInTo will execute multiple times? Sometimes, when I upload multiple docs at the same time, getting the following error. (Especially when I upload 3 to 4 docs at the same time) Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 50518:8f67a] in rule 'aco_fileuploadfield' : An error occurred while executing

As I am getting a list of text strings separated by semicolons in a single line, my focus is to split them into different values. After that, I need to convert them to users using the touser() function. However, it is currently showing [ID NOT FOUND] even though the email address is already present in Appian users.

Is it possible to show the Word document using documentViewerField. current behavior- When we click on the tab to display document, its downloading directly Expected behavior- The document should be visible for like PDF and downloadable.

Dear Community, I am currently researching whether it is possible to import a Java library (Java JAR) into Appian and use it as a reusable component within Appian applications. Specifically, I would like to know: Can a Java library (e.g., a JAR file) be imported into Appian and used as a native function or service? If so, what are the recommended steps for integrating a Java-based business logic library into Appian? Are there any limitations or best practices when using Java-based logic within Appian? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide any relevant documentation, best practices, or examples regarding Java integration within Appian. Thank you for your support.

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this to show up? Given that the file extension .cdxml is a permitted file extension in the environment and the user has confirmed that the file type matches the extension.

Hi All,We have a constant containing a process model. Yesterday we moved that constant and process model from test to UAT. All values were present in test. After deployment, while doing sanity we found that the value of the constant was empty. All objects got imported even the constant and process model except the constant's value. We tried redeploying the constant but it said no change while inspecting. So we directly edited in model and saved the value in the constant. The deployment was done by devops person and he is a system admin. Any insights on this issue?
