Hi together,not sure if its a question or a discussion.i just discovered that isnull() for a nested CDT is not working properly I have a CDT Processdata {"id"(integer), "startedAt"(datetime), "attachment"(CDT attachment),...} which contains the nested CDT "attachment"   {"id"(integer), "document"(document)....} -> If I try to do isnull(ri!processData.attachment.document) it is not working and i always get false as result, even the value is NULL (100%)-> if I try      ri!processData.attachment.document= todocument(Null)   its fine. ->  isnull(ri!process.documenttest) is working, so it seems to be just an issue regarding nested document CDT as far is can clarify. a) is that a bug by appian? b) what would be your approach to solve it? What is your best practice here? Thank you all :)

We created a QR code to our workplace safety app hoping visitors and vendors could access the app that way but it doesn't take them to our configured app.  It takes them to a sign on screen that requires user name and password.   Anyone have any experience using QR codes to get right to their company's app?

Hi there, We have a self-managed environment, and we have Oracle as our primary database. Currently, we are trying to configure MySql as a secondary database and we follow the steps on this link: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/Configuring_Relational_Databases.html#provide-data-source-connection-information. Performed steps: 1. install mysql-connector-java-8.0.23-1.el7.noarch.rpm in the <REPO_HOME>/tomcat/apache-tomcat/lib/. for this we moved the rpm file and runed the rpm -ivh command  to install. 2. we updated the <REPO_HOME>/conf/tomcatResources.xml.<ENVIRONMENT> file just adding the configuration for MySql  <Resource name="jdbc/AppianPrimary" factory="com.appiancorp.tomcat.datasource.EncodedPasswordDataSourceFactory" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle_server.example.com:1521:ORACLE_FOR_APPIAN" usern

Hi, We are using SAML to asign users to groups upon login, using 2 different types of rules:  - Group based - matching SAML groups to Appian Groups (for example - Director)  - Rule based - matching user data (taken from SAML properties) to Appian Groups (for example - Office) We need to be able to create sub-groups using info from Groups + User data (to create a group for - Office Director). We need these groups to be able to assign tasks. We've tried multiple things but haven't ben able to find a solution to execute this online, and therefore have gone to a batch solution. Is there a way to:  - create a group from an interesection of 2 groups?  - create a group using group + user attribute data? Thanks

Hi All, Can some one confirm whether I can run/setup/install an Appian on my personal system  othan accessing 14 days trial. I know the location to download the Appian installer 20.0.0.4. Thanks in advance, Abdul.

Hi folks! [emoticon:33306c418930400bac28808410f8ac8b] I recently had to analyse a few projects in terms of their complexity. I had a look for any existing tools in the community to help, but I didn't find anything. So I thought I'd write a script to help. Whilst the results of this tool are no substitute for per-object inspection by eye, it can help in determining where to look first. I've created a public project up on GitHub in case this can help anyone in a similar position to mine. https://github.com/JFDI-Consulting/JFDIAppianSAILComplexityAnalyser Hope it helps someone! Joel

Hello there, I have a question about the "Administrator" user. As far as I know it is a super user that is not logged in the Appian logs and for this reason the user does not have access to the admin console. But, can the user access everything else? It is not listed in the Users section. How can I know what is the password of this user?  Also another question, comes the Adminsitrator user with every Appian installation out of the box? Many thanks!

Sample image is added. I need to change Group Type. 

Hi All, I could would like to your opinion on the two different approach which we drafted. Need to understand the pros and cons  Approach1:   We are creating one webapi and based on the path parameter it will be routed to respective Handler(expression rule)and the handler will respond back  Question: 1. Creating One web-API /per http method ,will it create high load to Web-api which will in turn make 503 exception(timeout) on prod? Approach 2: Creating a Web-API /per Package and which in turn as respective handler (expression rule ) for the response Question: 1)desired approach to solve the needful? 2)Pros and cons on Approach 1 over the Approach 2? Thanks in advance!

Is there a URL (e.g. /healthcheck) that would provide insight into the health of the overall Appian system? Ideally, it would provide a 200 status code when everything is good and a 500 with details when components are unhealthy. Thank you!

Hi, We're trying to automate the process of committing application changes to an external VCS (Git). To do this, we're leveraging the Post-Deployment Process configuration of apps, where we trigger an external job and pass the deployment files in order to commit those in the VCS using Appian Version Client. We're trying to retrieve the import customization file used in the deployment via a!deployment(, "customizationFileId") but it seems the contents of the document is somehow encrypted/masked. Our goal at the minimum is to get all the property keys in the import customization file. Help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, Does anyone knows what is the new link to download Appian software. I want to install it on my local machine. Thanks

So we recently got updated to Appian 20.4. I was doing some smoke testing and found out that emails are not being send out from the env. I wanted to find out where I can find the logs for this issue?Email Node Details: From: Custom Sender,Â%A0 Display Name: ***_Notifications Sender EMail: ****_Notifications@****.appiancloud.com To: toemailaddress("xxx@xxx.com") Note: We are on Cloud. I wanted to do some preliminary checks before I raise a ticket with Appian.

I am running into the following issue within our SSO configuration after upgrading to a newer version of Ping Federate: 2021-01-15 21:30:28,323 [ajp-nio-0.0.0.0-8009-exec-4] INFO com.appiancorp.security.auth.saml.SamlFilter - Authentication Error: Error while trying to authenticate the token: com.appiancorp.security.auth.saml.SamlAuthToken@498fd1ac: Principal: null; Credentials: [PROTECTED]; Authenticated: false; Details: AuthenticationDetails[ts=2021-01-15 21:30:28.309, entryPoint=PORTAL, clientIpAddress=216.238.132.75, clientUserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Last encoded character (before the paddings if any) is a valid base 64 alphabet but not a possible valueThe error appears to be something certificate related, but I'm not sure but the certificate has not actually changed on either side of the SSO setup.

Does anyone have an AWS component diagram for a distributed engine topology with HA failover?  I am thinking conceptually how many EC2, SSD, VPC's, IP's, etc.  Can the DB be a managed DB service or does it need to be a full DB installed on an EC2?  What portions can go in S3 or must it all be in SSD?

Hello Everyone, Has anyone come up with a way to automatically administrate your Appian system's calendar? From what I've seen on Appian version 20.4, there aren't any process model functions to modify the system calendar or expression functions. It would be nice if there was a way to run a process model once a year and have the process model pointed to a table in a database which houses the default calendar working hours and non-working days and update the system calendar on a go-forward basis.

if any node get error in process model how we can rectify weather node is executed or not and how to skip that node if get error and it should continue the flow?? Please anyone send me with scenario
