Question

SCOPE attribute in HTTP connected system is not exported to Customization File.

I've created a HTTP connected system by passing all the required parameters(sample values) as shown in Fig.

But when I export this object and download the customization file, it does not specify SCOPE attribute at all. 

Anyone has any idea, why Appian is not adding this attribute to customization file ?    Then how can we maintain this in all environments ( Each environment SCOPE attribute is different) without manual update.

Hi [mention:fd3f2810bfdd406395f1256c563c08a5:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

This is the expected behavior according to the documentation:

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Oauth_connected_system.html

So I would assume that you need to manually change the SCOPE on each environment. Perhaps someone else will have a better idea how to maintain this values in different environments.

Thank you Acacio B.

Yes I've checked that link and it is expected behavior. 

But, my challenge is to avoid that manual step in Production. There is always risk with these manual steps, especially when someone forget to update that attribute. Then we will have production issues due to this.

So I'm looking for any suggestions in maintaining this attribute automatically without manual step ?

I see your point, unfortunately the SCOPE parameter does not even accept an constant what could be handy in this case.

Hope someone else come up with an idea.

Hi there,

I don't think there is any direct way of doing it. This can just be a part of your post-deployment steps that you need to follow like a checklist to ensure everything is on track after deployment.
