Process Automation

Hi All, I am new to RPA in Appian, my requirement is to download the excel report from external site and pass it to appian process model, then in appian we can read the excel data and write it to our Database. We have a URL to external site, for example, URL - https://abc.com and inside this site lets assume we have below document links to download Document(A) Document(B) Document(C) from the above documents, RPA should download only Document(B) and should pass it to Appian Process Model. Here I am not getting any reference for creating a Robotic task for this action, so could you please help me with the details/steps how to proceed further. Thanks in Advance!

I am bserving in the project some errors related to Maven with a text like Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM So, I try to request an Update Maven Project in Eclipse becouse Appain Document states To perform this update, we must go to the project root in Eclipse and press ALT + F5, which will request an Update Maven Project. When the pop-up window shows up, we can also mark the option Force Update of Snapshots/Releases to be even more sure.in docs.appian.com/.../IDE-setup.html However, I am getting an error below."Help document /de.jcup.sqleditor/html/open-label-reference.html cannot be opened." I have no idea what is open-label-reference.html. Could you tell me what I should do to resolve it?

Hi,  I am using a windows machine and while trying to use the Task Recorder on Appian RPA I am not able to select the Application. There is too much white space in between. I can see that the SELECT APPLICATION dropdown is at the bottom if I forcibly move the popup window at the top. I cannot resize this window (pop-up) nor I can drag it enough at the top for me to select the application. I see the issue on both of these versions.  Appian Version 22.3 Appian RPA 8.5.0 Appian Version 22.4 Appian RPA 8.7.0 I didn't face this issue earlier.. This may have happened in last 2-3 months with latest upgrade possibly. Is it just me or everyone is facing the same issue. I have already raised it with Appian thanks jaideep

I am experiencing an anomaly in the behaviour of the proxy once the Appian RPA config file has been set up on the machine hosting the Agent for Appian RPA itself. Although the config file has been compiled correctly, appianRPA's "autologin" service to the proxy doesn't work. The proxy popup is not handled autonomously, but, when opening any URL on Chrome, one has to fill in the fields manually and click Login. Following the official documentation of AppianRPA (docs.appian.com/.../agents.html, section "Generate config file") the config file is correctly set. Furthermore, also following the official documentation (docs.appian.com/.../manage-robots-installation-config.html, section "Configure a proxy for the auto-login service"), the management of the AppianRPA auto-login service has also been set correctly by following all the steps (environment variables, section "Log On" of the Auto-Login service).How can i fix this problem?

I have a requirement where I need to send an Image ID using users data(his profile pic in Appian) through an API. (plz don't question the reason)user(), document() and some other image related functions were unhelpful.There are components that can be used to get the image and display it such as userImage, but its useless to me in an expression(rule).I also looked up discussions.. nothing for this specific case.Another note: a process is involved, so smart services can be used(I don't know if there is one to help in this case) any suggestions?extra:wataheck is this? this gibberish happened when I added ('), and it stayed that way

Hi, I am currently receiving an error when trying to convert free text from a paragraph into an html, simply because the single apostrophe (') does not convert to a special character when trying to create html formats used to create a microsoft document and convert it to pdf. The document either shows the escape character of ' or we receive an exception error in the process model. I am using the smart service Configure DocX From Dynamic Template. I have been using the toHtml() function to convert all text into html format, but only receive this error for sing apostrophes. Any help would be useful. Thank you.
