Question

Opaque ID

Is there a way to find out what appian object is being pointed at from a Opaque url?

URI: /suite/design/(opaque ID)

One way is just going to the URL to get the object name. But for some reason, when I go to that URL, my environment is crashing. I am suspecting the UI is doing large number of calls that is causing the heap space to run out.

    What are you trying to do? AFAIK the URLs are specific to your session and are not persistent.

    I don't believe they are session specific for Appian objects. I was trying to reverse engineer (if possible) what the opaque ID is pointing to.
    Example below

    Understood. But again, what is your goal? Linking to any Appian design objects will never be part of an application.

    Then, what exactly do you mean with "my environment is crashing"?

    Pawan, did you ever find a way to determine the object from the Opaque ID?  We are in the same predicament as you were. Trying to find which object is the culprit to crashing our server. All Appian support could give us was the URL with the Opaque ID.
