What are all possible situations or mistakes in Appian coding, design or modelling can cause deadlock whether it's DB deadlock or any deadlock situation in Appian objects like process model?

I would like to utilize the API to achieve the functionality of the embedded view. JavaScript is required for implementation.However, upon further investigation, I found that HTML rendering is not supported within Appian, and that it was necessary to retrieve the HTML generated by an external system from the URL.In addition, OAUTH authentication is required to realize embedded views by API. If so, is it correct to think that authentication is also done by an external system that renders HTML? If possible, I would like to complete it only between the system with the embedded view and Appian. thank you. en.developer.box.com/.../

Can we define document retention or archieval process for documents saved into KC or in any Appian folder. Can it be retrived also on demand?

Hello, I'm trying to parse a pdf that contains data in a table format and table data cells contain decimal values. However, some cells are blank and contain no data. When I use getpdftext() function to parse the data, the delimiter between 2 adjacent cells and between 2 cells with a missing cell value in between is always a <space>. Due to this, I'm unable to map the correct values to the correct column/header. Let me know if someone has an approach to resolving this issue. Thanks,

Multiple Excel formulas are not working. For example xlookup when used is not giving value in preview mode means data is not going to the database hence output also not generated properly.

I added a tab component to an interface I was building and added 4 additional tabs to the 3 that come with it automatically. I had all 7 formatted the same and working perfectly fine as each was clicked. However, I discovered that I had missed a needed tab that meant to go in the 5th slot, so I added another tab, moved it up to the 5th spot in the component configuration section, and then went through that it along with the 3 that moved down were all updated and formatted correctly. Now however, when clicking through the tabs, only the first 4 tabs become selected and show their given information below it, the new tab along with the others that moved down the list are selectable now, clicking on them just updates the page but does not change the selected button. I've been through the code and everything looks as it should I think, does anyone have any thoughts why it wouldn't be working now? Coding for the tabs: a!localVariables( local!selectedTab: 1,

Hi, I'm very new to Appian and postgresql. I'm trying to explore how to connect these two and I came across "Create Connected System". Could someone please guide me in order to establish some sort of connectivity it'll be greatly appreciated. Sharing both here. 

Hi! I have two records with different record actions in separated process models (create purchase order vs create invoice). In this case, I would like to be able to initiate the process of invoice creation based on the purchase order data (id, supplier, and other data passed automatically to the create invoice interface) My trouble here is that I need to do this from the summary view for each purchase order ID (until now I had a different action in each record view).  I was thinking about creating a button in the summary view, but I don´t know how to pass the variables in a correct way or the best practice here. Which options do you recommend? Creating a button and link it to the proccess model to create the invoice? Create a related action? My process steps would be something like this: 1) User clicks in the summary view of the purchase order 2) In the summary view, there should appear a button to make an invoice with the PO data 3) The data collected should flow to

Hello All, We need to show the generated docs in the interface, and if there is any error in the document generation need to show an error to the user. Document creation takes time so we created the PM to generate the document and used the process report for the generate document process model. We are using queryProcessAnalytics in the interface with a refresh variable to check the "generate document" process status. We need to stop re-querying the queryProcessAnalytics if any error is received from the process report, used the below code to achieve this. local!processReportData: a!refreshVariable( value: if( true(), /*Some conditions*/ a!queryProcessAnalytics( report: <<process report>>, contextProcessModels: <<process model to be checked>> query: a!query( /*c1 - processStatus (1=Completed)c3 - process Idc6 - errorMessage*/ logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: a!queryFilter( field: &quot

How to use error() function and what is the  best use of error function

Good morning, We have to generate a pdf from a given template (we are using the pdf doc from template node), this template will be filled with text fields that we get from the database but we also have to attach a loaded signature to the end of the pdf in an image that we obtain previously.But we were not able to load it inside any of the tags that the template has, we have tried to mount the two pdfs separately and then do a merge but this would not work for us because as I mentioned we need the image to be in one of the template fields.Has anyone had this same problem? Greetings and thank you

Hi All, Hello Team, There seems to be major issue post Appian was upgraded 23.2 to one of our environment yesterday. All the test scripts for our application are failing since it seems yesterday's update have introduced new locators. Same issue was observed by other Appian users as well which can be seen on community page https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/cucumber-for-appianAre there any solutions which can help prevent happening this? Or is there any way Appian communicate to us letting know that there will be a change in locators? I could not find it in release notes

I really like how Appian is evolving over the last coupe of years since i've stared using it. It is good to see regular release with new feature but there are a few that I'm really missing in Appian and could be game changer. At the same time i would like you community what you are looking for to be added to Appian? My most missing features: 1. More flexible filtering options for Grid. I would like to filter by any column in place having only values that are available if filter is added on other column. It should work similar how you can do it in Excel or in most tables on the web with simple JS dll.  2. More control over Grid appearance. It would be good to be able to decrease the font size, spacing, padding and margin to make table more compact. It also would be good to prevent word wrapping and have more control over column width if text is long. 3. Possibility to write expressions as Java/Python code within Appian if there is such need. 4. Dedicated component for navi
