Plug-ins

Hi All, I am using the PDF from XSL-FO smart service to generate a PDF.  I'm generating the XML/XSL docs for the smart service via expressions that query the database.  I'd like to let users enter text in a rich text editor, and have that rich text preserved in the PDF. For example, the user enters a list in the rich text editor.  The database value is something like <ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li></ul>. Currently, my PDF generation just shows the HTML as the exact string <ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li></ul>.  Does anyone know of a way to display the formatted HTML in the PDF?  The only thing I can think of is to build some expressions to generate the correct XSL and then strip the HTML in the XML.  Any easier approach?

I am new in Appian application development. Can any one please help me to know how can I use the Import CSV to Database smart service? Should I use any Plug-ins? If yes where from I can get it? I searched for it but did not get it.

I have a related action that will make updates to fields in a CDT so I need to inform all active tasks of the change. We are currently using Set External PVs Activity to update active processes with the updated information. However, we recently made updates to the CDT which caused some processes to still use the older version of the CDT (indicated with ^version) and the Set External PVs Activity plug-in clears out the CDT data in the active processes instead of updating due to version incompatibility.  Is there a way  I can cast an older version of the CDT to the newest version without things being cleared out? Or are there any other ways for me to tell the active processes that there was an update to the CDT?

Hello Community, Is there any alternate plugin for the following one: https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/download-file-to-disk (this seems to be old)  Requirement: We have to copy some files generated in Appian to different folder in server. Please share your thoughts for any plugin that suits this requirement. Even if the smart service renders the file path of the actual document would also suffice our requirement. TIA,Arun

Hi all, I am using Import CSV to Database to import a file to a database table. So far I can see the file has to match everything with the table definition but I now I got a strange behaviour. I am using a file with a wrong header but the service return import success as true. Makes sense? The same happens if I use a file with more columns that defined in the table. Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

I have a word document with html tags that I need converted to formatted text. For example I would like <strong>Hello</strong> to display as Hello instead. Currently I'm using Open Office writer doc to generate word document and need to embed html text converted to formatted text which should also preserve coloring and formatting. Open Office Writer Doc From Template Smart Service Does anyone know a way to display code in Microsoft Word documents that preserves coloring and formatting? I have tried to include code as html to parse <b>, <i>, <a>, <li>, <div> and <p>, for example. But all the tags and formatted styles have ignored and resulted in a single normal text. But as of now, I could only display it as normal text as Appian ignores all the html formatted code example <div>, <p>, <li>, <b> etc.

Hello All,We are trying to do FTP over SSL using SEND FILE OVER FTPS (Basic credentials) smartservice (SFTP smart services plugin)We have deployed the necessary client certificate in the admin console yet the smart service gives the error message like ERROR READHANDSHAKE RECORDCan anyone help us identify the issue?

Has anyone successfully used the plugin available here - https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/imedidata-integration-function to call the iMedidata ?

From what I know, you have to go to Admin console and select plug-ins tab. Then choose the plug-ins and deploy it. But, to add plug-ins that are not included in the Appian App Market, you have to contact with the Appian Support team. Do I have the right idea? What I want to do is add plug-ins on on-premise base. How do I add plug-ins?  Could I get a specific description of how? Thank you.

Hello All,  We have a requirement to send document to another system using FTPS.   Ive installed the required plugin.   I have added third party credentials in admin console.   When I execute the process to test the connection, I get the following error message: There was an error opening the connection to <servername>.
