Hi all, We have a requirement to read some xml files from an external system when they are ready. It would be ideal to set up an API in Appian to receive a call when a file is ready but this is not an option for limitations in the external system. We have to invoke from Appian a web service every x minutes to retrieve the files. The question is, how often to do it? The requirement says we should call the external system "at least twice per minute" which I think is too frequent. As the standard timeout setting of Web Service calls is 120 ms I think we could have difficulties if we invoked the service more frequently than that.  I really dont like having to generate process instances every 5 minutes but I would like to know what is the recommendation here? The customer wants to see the files quickly. How often would you generate a process for this?  Thanks a lot

We're trying to build an admin interface that allows the administrator to see a list of all the objects in the application and manage the group permissions for each object. So to that end, is there a way to 1) search for every object in an application (or at least a particular type of object) and 2) view/modify the group permissions assigned to them? 

why we do use connected system if we can authenticate directly from integration?

We have a cloud appian site we been using to test some demo applications. Currently we have about 5000 objects saved.  What is the best way to go about reseting/clean the site? I have found some info here, but no details. Appian Cloud FAQ - Appian 21.4

Hi Appioans, I work on a large Appian-based system with several developers (~14) who at any given time can be touching/changing multiple objects.  We have developed an Agile way of working around Appian that has proved pretty successful up to now.  We have ceremonies in place to plan small, encapsulated changes on JIRA tickets.  The developers wrap all the objects required for their fix/change/enhancement in an application (which maps to the JIRA ticket) and go to great lengths to list every object that they change onto the JIRA tickets as they go.  Before deployments into other environments two or three of our team spend a great deal of time and effort making sure that tickets haven't become entangled by shared objects.  This becomes especially difficult if things get moved back to DEV from UAT.  We have now reached a point where there is just so much change happening this is becoming unmanageable.   In 2021 what is the best approach for man

Hey Guys, I have requirement to get the zip file from UI and unzip and then process further, Here we tried using two different plugins, Extract Zip --- this plugin doesn't work as expected, some of the subfolder in our zip doesn't unzipped. ZIP Content Extractor -- This works as expected but it's taking much time to extract (eg: - for a 5 MB file, approximately it took more than 5 minutes) is there any possible option to extract Zip file which will be uploaded from Interface? Thanks in advance.

Hello all!We are on 21.3 Cloud. We recently enabled the File Upload configuration (From Admin console) - "Block any file with an extension that does not match the underlying type". Post this change, a set of users started noticing a behavior where when they attach an RTF file, above configuration gets triggered. The RTF file they are trying to upload is generated by an application and the property of the file looks alright. Has anyone experienced such behavior and if so how to get around that? Thanks so much!

Hello Appian Community, We are facing an interesting issue with SAML SSO where we are trying to return the Site the user is trying to access in the IdP response. The reason for this is we have an application with two sites in Appian. Based on user permissions they might have access to one or both sites.  In the scenario they have access to two sites we want them to navigate to the site they click. The issue is Appian can only have one IdP per entityId specified in the MetaData so when the response is returned to the IdP they aren't sure which site it is the user wants to access. Our hopeful solution is to have Appian return, in the response to the IdP, the site the user is trying to access so the IdP can redirect. Is there any possible Appian solution to edit the IdP response? Thank You, Kevin
