Hello, i’m facing issue in the section “Certify” in Appian Academy. How can i schedule an exam? 

Hi everyone, I am currently working through the Appian Certified Business Analyst learning pathway and have run into a technical issue. When I first joined Appian Community, I was assigned a workspace (I also received the confirmation email). However, I no longer appear to have access to any workspace, which means I can't continue with the hands-on exercises in the learning pathway. I have already contacted Appian Support, but I haven't received a response yet, so my progress has come to a halt. Has anyone experienced this issue before or knows how it can be resolved? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,  A user has reported the following error in the attached screenshot.  I tried to open tomcat from the system logs to analyze the error but I could not. Can you please let me know how to resolve this error?  is it in the process model/instance or somewhere else? Thank you Raj

We are building a single Appian system, but we plan to divide it into multiple applications based on responsibilities and business domains. For example: ・Application A・Application B・Business Common Application・Common Components Application・Administration Application Our environment is Appian Cloud, not an on-premises installation. Multiple development teams and vendors will work in the same Appian development environment. To prevent developers from unintentionally modifying objects owned by another team, we would like to control which applications each developer account is allowed to develop. Our expected behavior is: ・Developers assigned to Application A can create and modify objects belonging to Application A.・They can reference shared objects from the Common Application when necessary.・They cannot modify objects belonging to Application B or other applications.・Developers assigned to Application B should have the same restrictions for Application B.・System administrators may modify

We have an external event that can impact up to 1M+ Case records. For each affected Case, we need to: Update 3 fields in the Case table. Create a corresponding Event History record. We're evaluating the following approaches: Option 1 – Appian Write Records Approach A Query Cases in batches of 5000 Use MNI to process each Case in a single Write Records node to update the Case and create the corresponding Event History record Loop until all affected Cases are processed Approach B Query Cases in batches of 5000 Update all affected Cases for the batch in a Script Task Construct the corresponding 5,000 Event History records Use one Write Records node to bulk update the 5000 Case records Use a second Write Records node to bulk insert the 5000 Event History records Loop until all affected Cases are processed Option 2 – Stored Procedure Use a stored procedure to bulk update Case records and bulk insert Event History records Persist affected Case IDs and Event History

Hi team, We're struggling the the disk usage of our training environment as it's reaching its full capacity, there are several applications that can be deleted completely. However, there's no bulk deletion of applications including its contents, out-of-the-box. Do you know any easier way to perform these deletions?  P.D.: We would like to delete the DB objects (tables, views, etc) related to these applications as well. Thank you in advance! Regards, Tomás

Hi everyone, I hope this is okay to post here! I'm a certified Appian Developer currently looking for new job opportunities and not getting much traction yet.

Feel free to comment or send me a direct message. Thank you in advance

We have an external supplier portal in Appian where we need to implement MFA to hide sensitive sections on interface until verification is completed within the session. Preference is to avoid app-based authenticators as some suppliers are hesitant to install anything. Has anyone implemented something similar? Looking for suggestions on: Step-up MFA approach for external Appian portal users Conditionally showing/hiding sections based on completed verification App-free options like email OTP or SMS OTP that work well in Appian

I am currently preparing for the Appian ACD101 exam and came across a question that I am not completely sure about.Questions: How do you refer to the metadata of a process model object within the process model expressions? For example: the creator, name, or description.A- Process Properties, referred to in process model expressions using the pp! domain. B- Process Variables, referred to in process model expressions using the pv! domain. C- Process Model Properties, referred to in process model expressions using the pm! domain.Which option is correct, and how would you explain the reasoning behind it? I would appreciate any insights from those who have studied this topic or have recently taken the ADC101 exam.

You have set up SAML for single sign-on (SSO) in your cloud environment. Which three options could you enable in the Attribute Mapping section of the Admin Console to sync with a user's profile in Appian? (Choose three.) Options: A- 'Create new users upon sign in.' B- 'Group Membership Synchronization.' C- 'Remember Me on web and mobile.' D- 'Reactivate deactivated users upon sign in.' E- 'Update user attributes upon sign in.' Can anyone help to get the correct of above question?

Hi Appian Community, I’m currently investigating Appian internal errors (APNX) in an Appian Cloud environment. I found a KB-1107 that references ErrorCode*.properties files under a path like: <APPIAN_HOME>/ear/suite.ear/resources/text/java/com/appiancorp/suiteapi/common/exceptions The issue is that, even though I have administrator permissions in my Cloud environment, I can’t find any way to access that error code list or those files. I’d like to ask if anyone in the community can help clarify this: Is there any customer-accessible list of internal error codes for Appian Cloud environments? Is there any way to review those codes without filesystem access to the server? Has anyone worked with those property files or found a useful reference for support/troubleshooting? When Appian only shows an issue identifier, is there any public reference to interpret or map it? I’m not trying to expose anything sensitive, just trying to understand the correct

Appian Experts,  I have a question regarding AD Synchronization. We have our SAML setup to "Update user attributes upon sign in". This works perfectly fine when a user is Added/Removed from a specific entitlement in AD that is mapped to a group on Appian and that users logs in to Appian.  However, the issue arises if the users is removed from an entitlement in AD group and he never logs in again to Appian. The user remains part of the group and get task assigned till someone manually removes the user from the group in Appian.  I am pretty sure a lot of us here in the Community has encountered this situation. Can any suggest an automated way to Sync the users in AD to the groups in Appian w/o logging in. Thank you,  Janaki Ram

Hello: I am trying to create a RecordType synchronized with a web-service.  One of the data objects obtained doesn't always have the same number of sub-data points (see nutrients in the image).  In order for me to store the nutrients values, right now, I am creating 20 columns (assuming a max) and using a forEach to store each value.  Is there a better way to do this? Thank you.  

I am unable to log in using Basic User accounts in my Appian Cloud environment, while admin accounts are working fine. I have verified that the users are active and have the required group memberships. Password reset was also attempted, but the issue persists. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can suggest what configurations or logs I should check? Thanks.

Hello, We experienced an issue where an application deployed to the production environment did not work correctly. After investigation, we found that the process failed because a required user group was missing. We further checked deletion.log and found that the deployment service account appears to have deleted the group.Log excerpt: 2026-05-29 10:18:57,597 [http-nio-8080-exec-28] INFO com.appiancorp.common.logging.DeleteLogger - Successful deletion of objects: id=3126; types=group; names=["xxxx"]; deleted by user=[xxxx]. However, we could not find any deployment record corresponding to this timestamp. My question is:Is there a way to trace the actual operation performed by the deployment user account, even if there is no deployment record at that time? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi , We are running Appian 25.3.690.0 on Kubernetes and need the pluginuploader-1.0.0.jar plugin file. Our original dev environment used it as an init container to pre-install plugins. Can you provide the download link or the file?" Could not find any version of "pluginuploader" jar file, could you someone help me on this please. Quicker help is much appreciated. Regards Srinivas 

Hi, my use case here is while managing a bunch of test users, I want to be able to determine for each of those test users, if their passwords have expired or going to expire so that we can display it as a warning to whomever is managing those test accounts. As such, I'm wondering if there's a way to be able to query information from system logs into a process/interface or be able to query admin console settings information? Thanks in advance

Hi Community, I'm building an HTML-to-PDF generation flow and need to embed an employee photo (stored as an Appian Document) directly into an <img> tag as a Base64 data URL, like this: <img src="data:image/png;base64,{BASE64_STRING}" /> I want to construct the value in an Appian expression as: "data:image/png;base64," & base64Data My question: Is there a built-in Appian expression function to convert a Document to a Base64 string? Using the Appian document URL directly in <img src> does not work. Thank you

How can I optimize the performance of my Appian application?

I am considering implementing pessimistic locking in Appian. However, I have heard that pessimistic locking can potentially degrade performance because it restricts concurrency. In practice, how much impact does pessimistic locking typically have on performance? Also, from a best practice perspective in Appian, what kind of design or implementation approaches should be considered? Specifically, I would appreciate guidance on topics such as: In which scenarios does pessimistic locking have a significant performance impact? When should pessimistic locking be used, and when should it be avoided? If pessimistic locking is required, are there any design techniques or best practices to minimize its performance impact?

Is there any way in Appian to capture the previous state?I have a form with a couple of dop downs where the user selects different assignees for different tasksI want to able to send an email only to the changed users. Is there any way to compare old user values with new ones to see if changes happen?

When user logs in using SAML, they face 403 access denied error. We checked the users ID and they have the required access levels. When checked on tomcat-stdout logs we see the following issue 'Cannot request SAML Assertion for SBAF Authorize Click since user is not valid for SBAF'. Any leads on this?
