Hi All, I am starting up Appian for the first time after following the instructions mentioned in the Quick start guide.  After started the appian i can see, appian engines, data-server, search-server started sucessfully, and then i started the tomcat server and i tried access the appian through browser multiple times and  after looking into the tomcat-stdOut.log i found out the below observation I'm using 23.2 version Thanks In advance. Please find the logs below. Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\appian_23.2\appian\tomcat\apache-tomcat"Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\appian_23.2\appian\tomcat\apache-tomcat"Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\appian_23.2\appian\tomcat\apache-tomcat\temp"Using JRE_HOME: "C:\appian_23.2\appian\java"Using CLASSPATH: "C:\appian_23.2\appian\tomcat\apache-tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\appian_23.2\appian\tomcat\apache-tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"Using CATALINA_OPTS: " -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djava.na

Hi,          We have a HA Setup with Two Nodes. Appian Mandates both to be of the same version. So we need to have a downtime and upgrade both the nodes. Is there any way to do an upgrade without downtime.

I'm looking for suggestions for an Authorized Use Policy for individuals granted admin permissions in our Appian site. 

Hi, We are experiencing issues while trying to import an application from version 23.2 to another running version 22.4"content _a-0000e9b4-aa73-8000-9ba7-011c48011c48_31355: The data for content [id= uuid=_a-0000e9b4-aa73-8000-9ba7-011c48011c48_31355] could not be read from the XML. Cause: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occurred while trying to get the TypedValue type (Id) from XML. XML node: null" To enable the system to allow the import of the application, we have modified the 'MANIFEST.MF' file, and this has worked on previous occasions.

Hello Community,the more I am working on bigger scale projects with multiple devlopers, I am thinking about a kind of code merging functionality.Currently we have an "overwrite" principle. If i did changes to that interface/expression rule etc and press save then all changes previously done are overwritten. So if person a and person b are working on the same interface, the last one who saves "wins" and the changes of the earlier saver are essentially gone.Does anyone has insights if something in this direction is planned?I can see that difficult for records, decision tables or process models. But for interfaces and expression rules, it should be possible in my mind.Perhaps my idea is totally off the chart :)I am open to your opinions on that. kind regards form Hamburg Germany, Richard

HI I am fetching data from appian report. I have applied filter also so it won't fetch all the data everytime. but for the very first time it has to fetch everything  from the reocrd and then store in database. Now just to be on safer side I want to fetch the data in batches and then want to consume it.I am doing it with the following way a!localVariables( local!latestDate: cast( typeof(now()), index( rule!MO_GetLatestAuditDetails().data , "endTime" , now()-60) ), local!processModelUuids: rule!MO_GetAllProcessModels().processModelUuid, local!totalCount: index( rule!NEW_MO_ExtractProcessMetricsFromPortalReport( batchSize: 1, startIndex: 1, date: local!latestDate, processModelUuids: local!processModelUuids ), "totalCount", 0 ), local!numberOfIterations: = fn!ceiling(local!totalCount / ri!batchSize), local!listOfIntegers: = enumerate(local!numberOfIterations), a!forEach( items: local!listOfIntegers, expression: rule!NEW_MO_ExtractProcessMetricsFromPortal

I  was working with the editable grid . i want the all the updated values from the editable grid from the cdt ?

how to get the different values form the array ?  eg. local!a:{"a,"b") local!b:{"a","b","c") i want the output as c how can i get that ? 

I have taken the free appian community access . i am new to appian . i wanted to know from where i can open appian designer . or what to do next ? I only able to open appian community not appian designer ?? Please help

Hii All,  Can we able to migrate entire Environment data from one environment to another environment including Users Everything,is there any approach? Thanks a lot in Advance 

Hey everyone,My company provide Appian as an on prem solution for a client. We need to upgrade the servers we are running their Appian on to Windows 2016 server. I know it's quite an old version of Appian however the client has no interest in upgrading, so I just need to know if Windows server 2016 supports Appian 2016.1.0.0Thanks

Does anyone know what is the earliest version of Appian that uses Tomcat 9,0.76?

After installing latest hotfix 23.2, we cannot start the Appian Service Manager windows service.  Here is the error: Service Kafka failed to start Error running script: Unable to start transaction log. com.appian.komodo.StartKomodo$TransactionLogNotStartedException: Unable to start transaction log. at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:423) at org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedConstructor.invoke(CachedConstructor.java:72) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.ConstructorSite$ConstructorSiteNoUnwrapNoCoerce.callConstructor(ConstructorSite.java:105) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray.defaultCallConstructor(CallSiteArray.java:59) Unable to start distributed tran

Is there any official recommendation or does anyone happen to know of any benefit of removing intermediate versions generated while working on an object. For example I'm working on an interface and I happen to save my changes 55 times during the development on the page...... so I have 54 versions saved that I don't need since I only want to save the last one. Other then making the version history cleaner to go through is there any other benefit?

Hi All, We are working on getting appian data to splunk. Appian has been configured to push the logs to splunk syslog endpoint. We have tried several things but the data received in splunk is still encrypted.  https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/Log_Streaming_for_Appian_Cloud.html#prerequisite-checklist Below is the config of splunk.

Is there a way to filter the system logs by application? The use case is as follows: Our client has a ton of applications in their environment but they would like to consume/analyze the logs externally (using logstash for example) just for one specific application. That includes all types of logs (record usage, user login, design errors, etc.), not just one specific type (although I would think not all are applicable to be filtered). Any thoughts around this?

Hi Appian Community,Does anyone know how to put Appian into maintenance mode without using the GUI? Is there a configuration file that can be modified, or a binary that has this functionality?We maintain our Appian stack through a series of automated scripts, and it would be nice to be able to put our stack into maintenance mode before other actions are performed.Thanks!

Hi! I created an app and I wanted not to let certain groups to execute record actions. I changed the security in the process model, so that only admins can be the initiator (same in rest of the objects), but when I eliminate myself from the group admins I still can execute the actions.  But the fact is that the views of my site in fact work if I change myself from groups. Why aren´t related actions permissions working?

Is it safe to change a group's Parent group or also to change a groups name if it has already running task instances.

Hi ,  Third Party Credentials questions. 1) Is it possible to update Third Party Credentials using API or any other option other than Manual. We are rotating our client Secret every 6 months so don't want to do it manually, exploring option to automate this process.  2) Does Appian provide audit of updating Third party Credentials. e.g if we have S3 credentials and if someone updates client secret then does appian capture this update in any log  ? Thanks Vishal 

In signature field , i am unable to configure target document. could any one help me out !!!

Appian is throwing error while statrting the application, by saying QRTZ_LOCKS table is already present. Few points about the environment are below  1. It is new Appain additional server(like UAT2 or SIT2), this is the first time we are trying to start the instance. 2. The  db schema(oarcle DB) was copied from lower environment(i.e. i contains all the tables Business and meta data. as same schema has been used for both) 3.We cannot drop/rename  the QRTZ_LOCKS table, due to some internal reason. Can we skip this table creation part by anyhow? Where can i get the complete list of appian meta data tables? Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
