General

Hello all, Is there a function or process within Appian to store and specific value for every user? (Similar to session variables in.Net,) the use case is: We have a dropdown with general values in our main page, so depend on the value selected all the subsequent pages needs to take care of that value. We want to store that value selected for every user in his own session. I did some research to use constant, but for this we need to create constant in sail code (in appian it's no possible, only update), it's not a good approach. Another thing that we discuss was to pass the value as a rule input in every object (interfaces, query rules, Process Models, etc) not sure if its a good approach since the user can go directly to other pages (saved as bookmark) even if no value is selected, but it's a must for our app. Another approach that we are thinking it's storing the value in a "customfield 1" but the function doesn't work "a!updateUserProfile()".

Hi.  On write to datastore for overwriting an EXISTING record I am getting the following error.  ids for this class must be manually assigned before calling save(): I see plenty of posts saying enable autogeneration, but don't feel this is appropriate given no autogeneration should be occurring on this entry and it already has a primary key filled in. If such a thing did work after enabling autogeneration, it seems to me that would mean something is going wrong and a completely new Entity is being saved. Am I wrong in this understanding?

Hi, here from line 515 if condition is executing but it's showing only highlighted one not the remaining conditions. it has to show the remaining list of data but not showing what might be the reason for that 

My Appian Community Edition site seems to have disappeared. Instead of the usual link to my instance, there's a "get my site" button. Did something happen to the servers?

Is it possible to capture the page level action?    Eg : When submit button is clicked - We get - "Action Completed" Message or Eg: When submit button is clicked - "Field 1 is a required field" How do we capture the messages? 

Both the a!startProcessLink and a!startProcess functions state that the "processModel" parameter accepts "a constant referencing the process model or a process model UUID" However, when we try to pass a constant of type Text with a process model UUID to the processModel parameter, we get a generic "The process does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have permission to start it." When we pass a constant of type Process Model (using the same process model) to the procesModel parameter, we are able to start the process as expected. Do these two functions still accept UUID in the processModel parameter? If so, what are we doing wrong?

Hello all. I am following the Appian online course and making a side project to practice. In the query data section for querying VehiclesAddedThisMonth it shows us how to query and filter a vehicle that was added this month. The problem I am having is that the field I am using is datetime and not date. Error: Expression evaluation error at function a!queryRecordType: Cannot apply operator [EQUALS] to field [createdOn] when comparing to value [TypedValue[it=1,v=10]]. Code: a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!{7dc09094-e6de-418e-855a-35ab22892fc7}BB Product', filters: a!queryFilter( field: 'recordType!{7dc09094-e6de-418e-855a-35ab22892fc7}BB Product.fields.{34fab307-ea54-4ea9-a01b-40a0706f32c7}createdOn', operator: "=", value: month(now()) ), pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( startIndex: 1, batchSize: 100 ) ).data Seems like the issue is that the operator cannot compare the month function to my datetime field however it is ok if the month compare to

Hi All, For my requirement , I have to create a stored procedure in database which executes a sql query. And I have to execute that store procedure in appian process model and have to save that output in  process variable to proceed further. While creating the stored procedure in Database ,I am facing some difficulties.

For this query I written below code to create store proc, create or replace procedure test(i_task_id in NUMBER)ASBEGINselect column1,column2,column3,.... from xyz where task_id = i_task_id;END; But this shows me the error like PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement. Can anyone kindly help me to solve this.Thanks in Advance.

I am retrieving a large JSON document from a web service and need to display this on a set of interfaces.  The JSON has separate sections for different aspects of the data and my plan is to create separate interfaces for each section then add each of these interfaces to a single master interface.  The end user will be directed to this master interface to view all the necessary information from the JSON document.  This data is strictly read-only.  We will have other JSON documents that may allow edits which are then passed to an integration to be saved in a database, and/or to notify other system components of the change. Some of these components are made available to multiple Appian applications which are created by other developers (not involved in the creation of these common components). The question I have is around passing data internally between Appian objects (process model to interface, interface to interface, interface to expression rule, etc).  Should

Hi friends, I got a chance to interact with [mention:115d03e07c2843c691ef69b0951c7286:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] on my podcast and she has explained a lot of things related to the Appian Community that should be very useful for all my fellow community contributors.

I don't have auto generated column in my XLSX file. Please advice what can be done resolve this issue.  Thanks in advance for your help.
