A sub-process need to inform parent with details(CDT) , the parent process can call the child-process in asynchronous manner since parent process as some parallel activities. For this i have few approach : Parent will split the instances into two, one will the call sub-process node in synchronous manner. Another instances will carry other parallel task Another approach , i will not the split the parent instances , just call the process asynchronously (Start-process node). which will in turn create an instances in child process. Once child process finishes it will inform the parent via "send message event" from child Which implementation will have lesser impact on performance...... 

Apart from being Advanced or Enterprise customers, is there any other option available for a ETL tool (like Tableau) to connect to Appian cloud DB directly to generate complex reports?

Hi all, We're currently working with the AVM and AIM plugins together with a deployment pipeline in order to automate our deployments. We're looking into making the flow from "Export application" --> download .zip --> "copy to correct auto-deployment folder with folder listener" a bit more automated, as it currently requires developers to login to the Linux server where the Appian designer is installed. When you click "Export application", is the resulting .zip directly available on the development (Linux) server in question? If so, where? Or is it only available via the "Download package"?

Why looping functions are better than using MNI?

Hello, We have an Appian instance configured with SAML and ABC All Application Users as Authentication Group in SAML settings. All SSO user who is part of this group is authenticated without any issues. But we have few test users (local Appian users) who are part of the above mentioned group but no part of SSO and we expect these test users to be authenticated via Appian not through SSO. When we tried logging in from /suite/portal/login.jsp, unable to login when SAML is enabled (getting error "The username/password entered is invalid. Usernames and passwords are case sensitive."). Does that mean if user belongs to Authentication Group used in SAML configuration will always be authenticated via SAML configurations regardless of the URL /suite/portal/login.jsp /suite/sites/<siteName> /suite/design?signin=<Web Address Identifier> used to login? As per the Appian documentation all non SSO users will be able to login via /suite

I have a User Input Task and that is assigned to 3 groups, if 1 user is complete  the task from one group, the task should be disabled in all the other groups also. How will I do it?

Hello, We are using APPIAN 19.4 and have updated Mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016(POP-S) which requires TLS, and after configuration it wasn't working can you please assist on modify configuration/development to use TLS authentication.

I have gone through https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.1/Looping_Process_Flow.html , as it says under gateways and logic :  When a looped flow enters an OR or an XOR gateway, the gateway pauses after the first instance token passes through – until all other incoming flows arrive. I didn't understand it ? can anyone please explain it bit elaborate? thank you

At present at "Appian Administration Console", to create a user, there are only two user types are available, "Basic User" and "System Administrator".Now to provide access to the Appian Database to a person, an user with "System Administrator" access permission is required to create. That case the person will get Read and Write both permissions to the Database. I want to create a user who will have only Read permission to the Appian Database. How can I do this? I shall be grateful if anyone kindly help me regarding this.

"is it possible with the google vision to compare two images, that image come from the document?" please help me with this question as soon as possible

In my experience a common request is to have some process started when a user logs into the system, or when they log off. For example every time a user logs in we want to hit an API hosted by another system to get the users data to be used for privilege's in our Appian instance.  A similar request is every time a user logs out to start a process. This could be to purge the old user data. I know one solution is to have a timer based model getting all users data, but for this use case that's not possible because they want the data fresh as 15 min of log in.  Another solution could be to use a start page all users must hit with a start process link, but then I still have the issue if they save a url they could just bypass the start page. 

We recently Upgraded from 19.3 to 21.1 and applied hotfix 21.1.470 On our On Prem Env. The Health Check report shows that "21.1.470.0 is not a recognized version". Please advice.

Hi Folks, I am building the below logic i.e comparing the two local variables values if that is true then it has to perform the logic (i.e) 1*50 or else should return the null values. And it has to save the value when I click the button continue. As we cannot save multiple values as a same target in a!save(), Now I am facing issue in saving the values. If I define any one logic in a!save()  that is working, whereas for multiple logic it is not working. Below I have attached my code, you can refer from line 101 to 147. Please suggest If there is any alternative approach for the below logic. a!localVariables( local!type, local!quanity, local!button, { a!cardLayout( style:"SUCCESS", contents:{ a!columnsLayout( columns:{ a!columnLayout( width:"MEDIUM", contents: { a!textField( label:"MENU", readOnly:true(), ), /*a!textField(readOnly:true() ),*/ a!d

what are the things that we need to consider for better application performance

Hi all, In Appian, we can create queries directly in a UI, in local variables, or in a process model using script tasks, through rules, and also in node inputs as well. What is the best way to handle them? have come across one such question which I was not sure of.

Does Appian supports oauth / openid authentication protocol for federation logins? For Example, Azure B2C OR Coginito SSO services. If so, can you please share any references? - Thanks.

I been trying to use the correct way for years now, it seems there is not enough documentation online. I know you can use fn!isnull but is there other functions similar to it? All I want to do is to compare to a simple item. If array contains 3, then remove it. Is there a way to identify a single item like fv!item? a!localVariables( local!array:{1,2,3,4}, reject(fv!item=3, local!array)) wish it will return {1,2,4}

if possible explain with real-time scenario  Thanks

Hi Team, Do we really need to configure the disk clean up like cleaning up logs, process and archives.
