Plug-ins

Does anyone have a good example of a plugin where the output of the smart service is a CDT that was defined by the plugin? bonus points if it's a nested CDT.  I'm getting really close to getting this to work. I have the CDT being successfully created by the plugin, and the smart service shows the correct type on the output tab at design time.  When I execute the process model, I get a runtime exception: 7:39:50,921 INFO  [stdout] (default-threads - 36) 2021-12-13 17:39:50,919 [default-threads - 36] ERROR com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.TypedValueParameterConverter - Cannot convert TypedValue17:39:50,921 INFO  [stdout] (default-threads - 36) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument is not an array17:39:50,922 INFO  [stdout] (default-threads - 36)      at java.lang.reflect.Array.getLength(Native Method)17:39:50,922 INFO  [stdout] (default-threads - 36)      at com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.RecordConverter.convertPara

Hi Community, I'm trying to use Advance document Templating Plugin's smart service PDF from DocX to convert a DocX to PDF. I've attached the example DocX I'm using below and the resulting PDF. The conversion occurs I get a new PDF but a table is missing and the images are displaced. On the community someone mention using DOCX From Dynamic Template smart service before it, but I still get the same results probably because I just have a blank value of "<project></project>" for XML Data Model input. Has anyone else run into a similar issue or know of a fix for this?  Thanks, Eric Example Doc: [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/sampleTables.docx:320:240] Resulting PDF: [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/NewDocToPDF.pdf:320:240]

Checked Integrations and plug-ins, it is working fine and correctly installed.

In short, is there a way to use the Deployment Automation Manager to run a flyway repair command to recover from failed DDL executed via Flyway, or is there anything planned for a future version of the plugin to allow this? Some more background: I have been through the documentation of the Automated Deployment Manager here: https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/198/deployment-automation Using what is documented, I have been successful in using the `-flyway_path` and `-ddl_ds` options to deploy database changes to an appian instance hosted by appian cloud, against the underlying MariaDB. In the process of proving the above, I learnt that MariaDB does not rollback DDL when it rolls back database transactions. As a consequence flyway leaves the flyway_schema_history in a state that requires manual intervention and that blocks further flyway migrations until a repair is done. Flyway has a documented way from recovering from failed migrations, which is

Hi, I am trying to export SQL to Excel but the base template would be XLSM due to macros which will hide/show columns based on certain rules. The actual file being generated by the plugin is XLSX and due the file file containing macro excel throws file corrupt error. If I manually change the generated file extension to XLSM everything works fine. Is there a way to change XLSX to XLSM within Appian or contain macros in XLSX template files. Thanks.

We are building a bulk document export functionality for our application, for which we are using the Add Documents to Zip Plugin.  It seems that Add Documents to Zip Plugin supports certain file types but not others.  So far I have not had an issue with docx, excel, PDF, or image files, but html files do not seem to be supported as part of this plugin.  Is anyone aware of what file types are or are not supported by this plugin? Additionally, when two files of the same name are added, the document paths of the two files are identical and cause an error.  Is there any way of getting around this?  Thanks! Carson

Hi All, I have a requirement where i need to pass two different images over different location in docx dynamic template. «[#list logo as logo]» image«[/#list]»   location 1 . «[#list lang as lang]» image«[/#list]»  location 2.

Hi, I am developing a function plugin for appian. I am following the steps in this page https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/Custom_Function_Plug-ins.html am confused about one thing. Where do I actually include the java files for my plugin? I am inclined to put them under the functionPlugin package, but the documentation is confusing.  This is my current path. I have appian SDK and google 3rd party library under referenced libraries. Is it fine to include 3rd party libraries, and did I locate them in the right folder? The reason I am confused if I included the dependencies in the right folder is that in the url above. it is mentioned in step 14 to "Add any JAR files required by your custom function to the src/META-INF/lib/ folder." Technically my function depends on the ORTools library, but can't i just use it as a referenced library?  this is what they recommend on the website.  do the dots in  "com.example.plugins.<YOUR_

Hi, My use case is the following. I need to automatically assign new daily batch of tasks to workers. Each task, worker has a set of skills. The task's skills must match the worker's.  Additionally, the algorithm must assign/distribute tasks as equally as possible.  I have come up with a way to do this by reducing this to a graph/flow problem. Problem is, it is super hard/impossible to implement this in an expression rule. As such, I want to develop a custom function in appian in Java.  Which way is better to this, via Servlet or custom plugin?  Thank you,

Hello everyone, I am working with an SQL developer and he created a stored procedure where each time a I saved a record in his staging table, I need to execute his stored procedure to transfer the records to our main table.
