When the editor loads for the 1st time, whether passing in anything (valid HTML, text) to richTextValue via local variable or rule input, the editor does not display the value. As soon as designer edits the SAIL, e.g. remove the richTextValue parameter and undo (ctrl-z), or toggle isReadOnly, the value is displayed., Usage bar shows % as >0, so it seems to think that there is value there, but is not displaying them. Steps to reproduce: Create new UI object, and add Advanced Rich Text Editor component Create a rule input of type Text Set richTextValue to rule input Supply a text value, e.g. "Hello" as rule input, set as default value Save object and close Open object - observe that "Hello" is not shown on load Toggle to Expression Mode, delete richTextValue parameter, and undo (ctrl-z) - observe that "Hello" is now displayed this comment is from [mention:33845a86f6114d5582c6d5fb658efbe2:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] and i have the s

Hi All, We have a requirement to read login audit files from all the application servers on a High Availability cloud environment. We have researched about the plugin 'Log Reader' which can read login audit files. However, from the discussions on its AppMarket page, we are unsure if it can read the log files from ALL the application servers, and not just the default one. We have also seen a note about its latest version which reads 'This version is to support HA environment'. However, we could not determine the exact steps required to read the log files from all the HA nodes. Has anyone actually implemented a similar feature using this plugin? If so, please share how you managed to read the log files from all the HA nodes. Many thanks!

Hi Team, I almost have 2 Lakhs records and 134 columns to export into excel sheet from the Appian database. I am already using Export SQL to excel as Export data store entity to excel doesnt allow me to export more than 50 rows. when i do this it exports till certain set of data for example 1 Lakh records. But after that it is not exporting the data. I tried exporting them in batches of 5000. so first 5000 will be exported into a template. and the next 5000 the output of this will become the template. we tried merging of Excel sheets to but it also fails after 10 Excel sheets. Is there any other better way to do this please. TIA [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] Harsha

I need the correct format to create inputs when calling the Execute Stored Procedure plugin from an expression rule.  Here is my entire rule. I want to send an integer as an input (and ri!num is an integer) into a stored procedure and retrieve the results as the dataset is too large for Appian to handle comfortably.a!localVariables( local!spResult: fn!executestoredprocedure( dataSourceName: "jdbc/Appian", procedureName: "jsonValTest", inputs: { id: ri!num } ), local!result: if( local!spResult.success, local!spResult.result[1], local!spResult.error ), local!result )Here is my stored procedure: The SQL query when run as a query minus any parameters works. Have I fouled the SQL procedure or do I have the syntax wrong on the execute stored procedure (or both)? Thanks in advance.

We have a process that successfully intakes excel files but below is a use case where the file is not uploaded/error occurs: Use Case 1 - Fail 1. download the excel file from elsewhere (.e. shared site) 2. File is stored on desktop/downloads folder 3. Open Appian > Select file to be uploaded from downloads folder 4. File upload fails Use Case 2 - Pass 1. Open same file that failed in Excel on desktop 2. Rename the file in anyway (i.e. add number 1 to end of title) 3. Open Appian > select new renamed file to be uploaded from downloads 4. File upload is successful Why is use case 1 failing? Can we change something so it is accepted?

I need to download the Eclipse plugin development tool bundle for a new development machine. It was previously available at "s3.amazonaws.com/.../site.xml" but now is not locatable. I've read through the "Extending Appian" documentation and it looks like Appian has removed all mention of how to actually set up your plugin development environment for some reason.
