Hi all, we're looking to deploy our application of about 3,000+ objects to a new environment for the first time. We've split the application into 3 smaller applications, one which contains the DB objects, one which contains the groups, and the last one which contains the rest.  I'm going to look at deploying the DB changes, then the DB objects, groups, and lastly the rest of the application. My main concern is dealing with timeouts - when we've tried to deploy a lot of objects in the past (using compare and deploy) we've seen an issue where the deployment takes so long that it eventually times out. Is there any way we can split the objects further to deploy them in smaller batches? Any other advice would also be appreciated. Thanks.

We have a requirement to have B2C Authentication to log on to Appian. This initial logon will be without MFA. However depending on the interface they access, we want to enforce MFA for accessing those user interfaces. Is there a way this can be achieved in Appian? Do we have the ability to access the token sent back from Azure B2C to check if MFA was done or not and then redirect them to reauthenticate with MFA?

How can we show a specific message to a specific user in maintenance window in Appian? Explain with the screenshots if possible.

I have a robotic task that gets triggered from the smart service node in Process model. I am providing some details with respect to the bot so that I can get help exactly where we can improve the performance.Robotic task -> The robotic task receives an excel document, downloads it (download doc step), then it has to open the doc, and perform some excel actions(Sort,Find value,Filter etc) that we have configured using excel actions. The catch is that the bot first needs to check which action is it that it needs to perform (so we use if expression true to confirm the action, since this comes from the process model + DB).Now we have robotic sub tasks as well since there are close to 40 actions, therefore we have divided them.Configuration --> Download > Open workbook > Select sheet > Loop in actions > Pick first action > Run if expressions (present in sub bots) to confirm which action it is > Apply action > Will check other action until comes out of loop after e

Hi All, We are working with on-premise version of Appian (23.3) which is hosted on a private cloud. When I run load test on my environment process models are taking more time to complete (ex: 35 mints to complete).we increased process and execution engines also but still having latency. each node is taking around 2- 3 minutes to execute , even a simple is null logic also taking same time.  We have done the health check but could not see any major issues. Any suggestions to debug this issue would be greatly appreciated. Note : Load test time we are not running any background Process Thanks in advance.

Additionally, when a user updates the group and their name appears as the last modifier, it's challenging to identify the specific user who removed another user, especially when multiple users have recently updated the group.

Is there any way to download users list in csv or xlsx format from Administration Console or Designer?

I have a recordtype "User" and it has column named : 'IsInternal' that decides if user is internal or external and its a Boolean field. On the basis of this column i want to find out if the loggedinuser is external or internal how can I achieve that? after knowing that if the user is internal or external i will enable and disable the filter list options which i am achieving through logic below: a!recordFilterList( name: "User Email Domain", options: { a!recordFilterListOption( id: 1, name: "Internal", filter: a!queryFilter( field: User.isInternal, operator: "=", value: true() ) ), a!recordFilterListOption( id: 2, name: "External", filter: a!queryFilter( field: User.isInternal, operator: "=", value: false() ), ) }, defaultOption: "External", isVisible: true, allowMultipleSelections: true )

Hi, During a recent penetration testing it was found that our application is revealing informative application error messages.  When I cross checked all the APIs we have implemented we have custom HTTP responses defined for all web API if the HTTP status code from the API response is 500.  The Security analysis report describes the problem as following - When sending a POST request to  =>      /suite/rest/a/logging/latest/csp/report with malformed input parameter, the server response included debug information. This can enable an attack to refine their attack strategies. As per the standard remedial for this kind of issues I have created few custom error html pages for 404, 500 for e.g. and edited the httpd.conf file in the apache web server to point to these custom htmls...something like this .... ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html But this doesn't seem to work and Appian is still giving the same respo
