Privacy error while clicking on the Appian login link: Receiving the below screenshot error while hitting the Appian login basic link. After clicking on the login url we are receiving "Your connection is not private" error (full error message is as per the below screenshot).  We are always made to click on the "Advanced" option and then only the login page showing username and password appears. Please suggest how to avoid this privacy error everytime and how to go directly to the login page.

I got this from the Health Check Report: DSGN-0009 Appian Design # of objects with no admin group Medium 83 83 objects do not have an admin group defined. All objects should have an admin group explicitly defined or inherited from a parent container. Is there any fast way to identify which objects do not have an admin group defined? I hope I don't have to go one by one because I have thousands of objects.Thank you so much!

Hi Team , As per installation documentation , Appian suggested to use oracle OpenJDK for JAVA_HOME. But the linux machine we have has already IBM java .  Will it be possible to install appian with IBM java. or  Do we need install open jdk which comes with appian installer for JAVA_HOME. is there any advantage of using openjdk

Hello guys, I failed for the developer exam for the second time now. I studied for the Appian developer test for 180 hours, but i still failed the exam TWICE now. I'am lost i feel like i know everything but the way the questions are formulated is very hard. I just want to review the exam so i can maybe change my studying style.  i used the exam checklist, i studied the developer course, i took the practice test 12 times and i studied the appian documentation. ANY TIPS? thanks.

What are the best storage capabilities of Appian?

Can someone list out the pros & cons of Compare & Deploy functionality Appian provides. And What could be the reason one should go with separate outside Automate process of Deployment for e.g Export Package and Update into Repo and move along in upper environment via DevOPS tools and if there is any Database change then also use Repo to upload and then Move along with Jenkin Build and other tools.

Is there a way to create application and add provided artifacts into it on Appian using Process model or some other mechanism. Problem statement : Create Backup application from higher environemtn with provided artifacts added into the created applicaiton. export it before code promotion 

Hi all, This is my uses case. I have a reference table with 2 columns (id(PK) and description)  with all the possible statuses: 1 - Ongoing; 2 - Completed, ..... I need to insert an entity case, that it has a FK to that statuses. For instance, idCase = 1, idStatus = 1. So my question is, what is the best approach to map the value (Ongoing, Completed, ...)  into my case CDT? My initial approach is to have a CONSTANT with the status values: "Ongoing", "Completed" and get the id by a query rule to the table status. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have to deal with metadata on my processes. Most of them upper 20 parameters. My engine rule Will need to Fetch the specific parameter and its value coming from interfaces, data bases or integrations. So I wonder what It is best way to deal with them for performance: 1) create a CDT with upper 20 fields (and It could be defined more than 50 fields) 2) create a CDT with 2 fields: key and value and work as a list. 3) Define a Map as any type objects. Thank you.

Hi, everyone. I'm learning from "Online Course - Advanced Expressions: Part 2".I have a question about "Exercise: Looping Functions (Online Course | Learning at Appian)". Exercise: Looping Functions(Online Course | Learning at Appian) The answer of "Scenario 4" is 1333 (1332 + initial value 1), but adding all the values of "local!sensor" gives 1361.The last value of 29 in the third map seems to be ignored. a!localVariables( local!sensor: { a!map(data: {125,92,22,63,73,28,19}), a!map(data: {35,65,92,22,63,73,28}), a!map(data: {2,35,65,22,63,73,18,29}), a!map(data: {9,35,65,63,35,28,19}) }, .... .... reduce(fn!sum, 1, local!sensor.data) ) Is the answer 1333 correct?Is this behavior by design? Regards!

Hi Appian Community, I want to implement a simple Try... Catch within my Web API sail expression to test the request body being a valid JSON message. I still notice that the Try() function is not publicized in the documentation but it has been an easier implementation. And in posts that mention Try() function it heavily cautions that it is not recommended and could become unavailable. I looked into using some regular expressions off Google that match for JSON as an alternative but found they aren't compliant with the regex plugin. Example Regex /(?{((?\"([^\0-\x1F\"\\]|\\[\"\\\/bfnrt]|\\u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})*\"):(?\g|(?-?(0|[1-9]\d*)(.\d+)?([eE][+-]?\d+)?)|\g|\g|true|false|null))?\s*((?,\s*)\g(?:\s*)\g)*})|(?\[\g?(\g\g)*\])/ What are some recommended HTTP Request Body validation expressions that can validate whether the message is JSON or XML? It would be great if WebAPI object can handle the content-type validation automatically for us. Below code is using try() function to test f

How important is using a deployment account?

What is the best practice for naming a datasource in Appian? In DEV, UAT, PROD can what should be the name of datasource be provided?

Hello everyone, I need to setup the possibility for user to access through MFA, like username + password and code received on the phone or on an app like google auth. Is there anyway to do that on Appian?I know about SAML but, for me, it isn't clear if it works only with identity provider or with other methods. I work with Appian Cloud Version. Thanks for your attention. I'm looking forward to your reply. Daniele

Hi All, We have configured Health check to run and generate a report under DevOps section in Admin Console. However we need to go to admin console an download the report every time.

Hi everyone, Happy 2023. I've got a question about service accounts: we've got a single environment with no Dev + Test + Prod set up. Just one environment a number of devs at our company all use. A sort of "sandbox" where we have a number of applications. As an example, if 10 of us each had their own application that had an RPA object and a Connected System object (ie: for Portals).... would we need 20 different service accounts with 20 different API keys? Or, can we use 1 service account (+ its API key) for everything? Many thanks,Uel

Hello All, Is there an order of objects to deploy. I have environmental constants also. My prod deployment is still manual. Eg: 1.SQL scripts to be executed first. 2. CDTs 3. Datastores. 4. Constants 5. Connected systems.. ..etc

I've often had the request from clients for task notification customization: - Send to a mailbox not necessarily tied to an Appian user (they are using a shared mailbox or the user has not yet been created in Appian) - Send custom template The workaround I've been using is a little convoluted where I start a sub process on a timer before the task is initiated, it queries a task report to go and get the Task ID to be able to construct the task URL to put in the email. Would be nice if we could just customize this directly on the task itself without resorting to the subprocess/timer/task report approach.

Our Requirement is , x person will upload a loan form along with his government ID Proof , in our configured idp model. So when we are in reconcile screen we need to validate the name in the application form and id proof ,if matches its fine or else we need to display an error on name field , that name doesn't match with id proof - all this tasks should be done before we click on reconcile button NOTE: We are merging the two pdfs into one (1 is loan application form and the other is his id proof ex-Aadhar) , when we upload after the idp processing , we will be routed to reconcile screen where we will accept the task and we will reconcile - there in that screen we need to validate two documents . (like example- name in the application should match name in the aadhar card) is , there any way to solve this problem .
