Process Automation

Hello team, i would like to use an expression rule in timer to define the day when a PM will run based on the values in DB. Every month the cut off day for processes is different and its defined in the DB. The expression rule which i call inside the timer is: =rule!ICH_getCutOffDataByFilters(    year: year(today()),    month: month(today())).day, and it simple calculate the cut off day for current month. But when i publish the PM i am receiving the following error message: ERROR:EVAL:@reason=Expression is invalid (1 token(s) remain after parsing) Any advice please? Thanks

Hi, Im new to using reject function.  Now im using the reject function in a process model in a script task  In the input : I am calculating a map which looks like this :  {    id : <>,    account : <account_cdt(id, name, hold_code)>  } Now in the output tab I want to use reject function to reject all those accounts who have hold codes null ... but then my requirement is that the ID should remain in the output I am using reject function like this :  reject( fn!isnull(_),     a!forEach(           items : ac!map,           expression : {                  id : fv!item.id,                  holdCodes : index(index(fv!item, "account"), "hold_code")           }    ) ) Now I know this wont work, but can anyone suggest me how to make it

Hi, I have a requirement to append the values of a particular computation to a local variable using append function  The rule goes like this :  a!localVariables( local!data : {"x", "y", "z", }, local!finalValues, a!forEach( items: local!data, expression: append( local!finalValues, performSomeComputation(fv!item) ) ) ) now the problem is, the local variable is not getting updated no matter what, I tried using update dictionary as well as insert(local!finalValues, length(local!finalValues) + 1, fv!item) .. but still it wont append .. is there any other method I can use to append values ?

when I am trying using task recorder,  it is coming like.  " you are trying to sign in using unsupported browser" like google is finding it is a robotic process and not letting the sign in to take place

I am taking the Appian Automation (Senior Developers) course and I am on the step Tutorial: Automate Windows Applications (RPA). The task recorder doesn't recognize the calculator app even though the shortcut is listed in the start menu. What can I do to get the task recorder to recognize the calculator so I can use that app?

Hi, I have run the rpa installer successfully on my system but still the status of Robot is Offline in RPA and the appian icon in the toolbar is coming grey. Can anyone tell why this is happening and how can I change the status to Online. Thanks

Hello, The documentation says I should be able to execute and return the results of a robotic task in an interface, but I'm having trouble figuring this out. My task is working correctly in the RPA, and I'm also able to run it in a process model, but I can't figure out the SAIL recipe to get the results in an interface. The farthest I've gotten is that I know I need to use a!testRunResultForId(), but it says I need to input the "Test run ID," and I don't know where to find that. Can someone help me out? Thank you, Jason

I have CDT with following fields While using a!toJson , it is EXCLUDING fields which are having NULL values except fields with TEXT datatype. Expresion: -  a!localVariables( local!data: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:RS}RS_dummyCDT'(id: 1, name: "abc"), a!toJson(local!data)) Result:   Note: If I use parameter removeNullOrEmptyFields as true, it also excluding text fields which are null a!localVariables( local!data: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:RS}RS_dummyCDT'(id: 1, name: "abc"), a!toJson( value: local!data, removeNullOrEmptyFields: true )) Result: While using a!toJson_17r1, it is returning all the fields of the CDT irrespective of NULL values. Expression: a!localVariables( local!data: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:RS}RS_dummyCDT'(id: 1, name: "abc"), a!toJson_17r1(local!data )) Result: I want to get the data the way we are getting result while using a!toJson_17r1. i.e. I want to get all the fie

Hi Everyone, I am returning a cursor from Oracle SP, When using new executeStoredProcedureForQuery, i am getting "Invalid Column Type:2012" error.  can see in "Appian Community", Updating ojdbc8.jar solved error, Please advise whether we can follow this solution for our Project.  

Hello folks, in my current solution i use an expression rule which queries a View in DB and returns the data based on filter. The Contract Number is an array of Text type, so far as operator i used "in" which worked perfectly even with multiple values. Now there is a new requirement from the business that instead of using exact values they want to have something like contains ("includes" or "start with"). It works if i change the type from array to single value, but not working with array. Is there any way how to make this work even for array? I am getting the following error message while using array: a!queryEntity_22r2( fetchTotalCount: TRUE, entity: cons!ICH_ENTITY_ICH_V_ContractReferenceData, query: a!query( selection: if( rule!GBL_isBlankOrEmpty(ri!fields), null, a!querySelection( columns: a!forEach( items: ri!fields, expression: a!queryColumn(field: fv!item) ) ) ), logi

Hi All,  I am working on the Appian IDP application. I have trained it on some single-page documents, and it is perfectly working for single-page documents. Now, I have a document that consists of some text fields and a table. The table is starting from page 1 and going up to page 2, but for this document only the single page is getting extraction for the table. I am not able to select the table details from the next page. Can someone else also face this problem, and do we have any solutions for it? Thanks in advance.

I need get a document from the external cloud source and need to do data extraction using IDP process model and convert the data into the CSV file and source the file in another external cloud folder can it be done in IDP  or RPA ? if yes how to do that. 

Hello,I'm trying to create an RPA that fetches data from a table from a system and then do operations on that data.I'm able to fetch the table data, and I have a section with a expression rule that does the correct parsing on that data, but I'm not able to use them in junction.I'm trying to pass the data like this (the value is not empty), but the value being passed is always empty, according to logs.Anyone can help me with what I'm doing wrong?

Hi, We have a requirement to generate a document which contains some information of a user that needs to be encoded by the guidelines provided. We need to format the value in such a way that it's length remains fixed always which is provided to us. So any value which has less digits than the required number of digits should be formatted like for eg: If the input is 1250000 and the max limit is 20, then it should be encoded as 00000000000001250000. How can we do that, thanks in advance.

We have integrated the automated rule testing to our CI/CD pipeline. We are using a!startRuleTestsApplications to start the test. We notice on an average the entire test takes under 15 mins to complete, but on occasions the test takes a long time and we ultimately have to kill the build.  Want to know how I can debug this. Unable to find anything in the tomcat logs. Is there any debug log I can enable to check where the test execution is stuck?

Hello guys,We're dealing it some issue on attempting this:Right now with find() function or exact() you can't achieve the following:Let's say we have an e-mail with this phrase "I am an idealist", and on the other hand we have a key defined as: "ideal", right now because the body considers all the text, if you try with find(), the output is true because it finds "ideal" on "I am an [ideal]ist", and the exact() will not work as well because "I am an idealist" is not the same as "ideal", even if the key was "idealist" it will output false as well. Any ideas?
