Question

Step-By-Step # 5 - "The data source cannot be reached or its configuration is invalid. Please contact your system administrator."

Hi all,

I am following the Appian Developer path and for Step-By-Step # 5 I encounter a problem with selecting the database for the "Vehicle" Record Type.

I do not see any database tables.

When I go to the reference app and want to see record type source configuration I get: "The data source cannot be reached or its configuration is invalid. Please contact your system administrator."

I am using us.appian.community edition.

Could you please let me know how to resolve this issue? thank you.

    May be you have not configured the data sources in the admin console. Add the business database in the addmin console. If it is already added, you don't have the connection to the DB server from the Appian.
