Plug-ins

Hi, I am using a plug-in Advanced Document Templating. 1. I have a docx template, using this I am generating a docx file. Service: DOCX document from template 2. From the generated docx, I am generating a PDF. Service used: PDF document from DOCX Issue is,  In generated PDF there is a table with multiple rows set, this set gets looped dynamic number of times (10). I am getting that table moved to a new/2nd page, but I want that table to start in 1st page and then continue in next page. Issue is only in PDF not in the generated DOCX. Any one experienced this and how did you fix? Thanks, Keerthi

Hi, Our client has an Appian process (triggered by a daily batch job) that exports all the data from around fifty tables.The plugin used for this is: "MySQL Dump To Document".Since we've upgraded to Appian 25.3, the plugin is now deprecated, and the latter process is failing in error.*** Error: "Error creating MySQL Dump to Appian Document"What new plugin alternative could you advise me to use and install ?Otherwise, which native Appian solution could you propose ?Our client needs to deploy a solution in Production in few days, so I have to find a solution. Regards

Hi, We like to use the Kafka plugin for (binairy) Avro messages.  Are there intention to support this kind of messages. Also the plugin has an option for a custom Deserializer class, but this does't seem to be used and also the code always expects that the value is a String.  Is there an example of a custom deserializer class for a non-text based message value?  Should this be possible?  Thanks Klaas Pieter Boerema Rabobank.

Hi, I am trying to import a CSV file, but I receive this error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: (line 76) invalid char between encapsulated token and delimiter". The CSV file has an open quotation mark but no closing quotation mark, and my separator is ‘##’. How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to insert some escape characters?

Hello everyone, Is there a method to programmatically reset all column sorting/filters simultaneously within the GridPlus component? For instance, consider a grid with five columns where a user applies sorting and filtering on three separate columns. Currently, the user must clear each column’s sorting/filtering individually to restore the grid to its initial state. My idea is to reset all sorting and filtering criteria with one button action.Thanks!

I have an open support case for this, but hoping to see a working example of add/edit/delete rows using GridPlus asap. Attached is my attempt, but I'm seeing an error (I won't share here, that's in a separate thread). I'm hoping someone can package and share a working example (they don't necessarily need to debug mine) where they can add/edit/delete rows and submit changes.

I have configured the plug-in but every time I try to submit changes I get the following error: Incorrect configuration: Please set up the ‘submitChangesValue’ and ‘submitChangesSaveInto’ parameters. Kindly refer to the documentation for configuration details. I assumed that the problem was due to the rule configuration entered in the ‘colConfigRuleName’ parameter. Does anyone know how to configure the parameter?

I implemented the Google Maps Component Plugin in the Dev and Test environments, and everything worked as expected. However, after deploying to Production, Google Maps is not functioning. Upon inspecting the browser console, I see the following error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) - Googlemap.svg. I&rsquo;ve checked the server configuration, and it appears to be identical to the other environments. Any idea what could be causing this issue?&quot;

Hello Community, I have developed a custom plugin for Appian and have completed initial testing within the Appian testing environment. Now, I would like to test this plugin outside of the Appian platform to ensure its robustness and compatibility in different scenarios. Could anyone suggest tools, frameworks, or best practices for testing Appian plugins externally? Are there any recommended approaches for simulating the Appian environment or mocking necessary services for comprehensive plugin testing? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you,

I have a&nbsp;Process model where the flow of nodes is like this:&nbsp;I am sending a file to SFTP temporary folder, and adding a delay time node for 10 seconds and next i am using a Rename and Move file over SFTP smart node where i am renaming the file and then moving it from temporary SFTP folder to another permanent folder. At this point, the system is throwing the below error: &#39;Error renaming file in the remote server. See application server log for more details. Error Message: Specified file path is invalid.&#39; My guess here is that the file is not having enough time to move from one folder to another, because if I just restart the node its working fine. How do i add a delay in the &#39;Rename and Move File Over SFTP&#39; so that the file will have enough time to move from one folder to another.&nbsp;
