We have requirements to build out document retention policy management features: * Define purge policy definitions to define business epxression for when documents should be purged (e.g.,  delete after X years and other business conditions met) * Create purge records to capture list of documents which will be deleted in upcoming purge cycles to allow users to define hold/exceptions which should not get purged) Has anyone built these type features in Appian and what implementation approaches were taken?Regards, Bob

How to pass values from process model to custom Java code.2. How to execute the query statement against MS Access.3.

Hi all,   Wanted to ask the community to see if anyone has some best practice recommendations to handle the edge cases caused by Appian limitations in how it detects null/empty values and how it converts null singleton types into array rule inputs; and especially recommendations on setting up re-usable query entity rules.   We've discovered that Appian handles nulls in unintuitive ways depending on the data-type. If a rule input is an array, and you pass in a singleton of the same type that is null, Appian will automatically convert that input to {null} (a one element array where that element is null), rather than null or {} (empty). According to Appian support, this is the expected behavior of the product.   However, this causes two issues for us:     The out-of-the-box isnull() and a!isNullOrEmpty() functions return false, despite a reasonable assumption that the value is null/empty. (It is not. It is a one element array with that element being null, due

Hi, Is there any way we could track developer activity  in appian, I know , we can manually check each objects versions for the changes made, but was wondering if there is consolidated a report at a user (developer) level,to see what all objects they modified and what was modified. Note : we have an on premise installation, so any report that can be created out of metadata, we are open to that as well. Thanks

Hi On my process modeller, whenever I debug the process model, the Process Start Form does not display, the process continues to the next steps without the option to populate the form. Is there a setting for enabling and disabling the Process start form or is this just in my environment? Thanks in advance

On the process minning install documentation (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.3/pm-5.6/admin/install.html) in the Production installation section step 6 says: Modify the following mandatory parameters in the .env file Shouldn't it be .env-prod? and if so step 6 should be merged with step 5. Because when you run ./pm.sh use-prod-config the file .env will be overwriten with the contents of .env-prod Thank you.

Hello, I'm looking for a best practice how-to enable a user management within an application. Basically there are two main roles within the target application: administrator role - I assume that one can be based on the appian built-in user management standard user role - thats a role where an "anonymous" user can apply for with a self choosen username and password based on an application built login interface such user will have some additional things to do What would be a good way to achieve this if any? Thank you in advanceThomas

Hi, I am currently using Appian 22.1.875 on Linux servers. Presently, my applications are using Oracle12, but now my DBA team is planning to migrate to 19c.
