Process Automation

I have this expression rule and I need to get the value of one of the keys based upon whether another key property is true or false, I have this but doesn't work: a!localVariables( local!myDictionary: { { item: 1, active: true, description: "Widget", color: "Green"} ,{ item: 2, active:false, description: "another", color: "red"} }, if( fn!index(local!myDictionary,"active","") == true, fn!index(local!myDictionary,"color",null), "") ) To explain further: I would want to return the value "Green" from the key property color due to active property being true and not the value "red" because active property is false.

Hi Everyone, I am working on Integration with Appian to RPA Bot by using Execute Robotic Process Smart Service but it is working not with Activity Chaining in process model. There is another flow in my process model which needs to be executed after the first flow but Appian doesn't allow Activity Chaining in Execute Robotic Process smart service. I have attached screenshot of the Process Model in which first flow is validation and second one is submit. For Integration i need to remove activity chaining before the Execute Robotic Process Smart service, due to this second flow doesn't work/execute. Can anyone suggest solution for this. Thanks.

Who can explain this statement better : "If you're not working on the resource already, copy the AppianRPAagent.exe file to the resource after it has finished downloading."I am wondering if it means that one still need to add "AppianRPAagent.exe " back to the resource created after downloading it to our physical PC , if yes, then how or to where in the resource ? Here is the screenshot of a typical resource : 

Well, Im doing a process model. As an output of my RPA process I can have the execution id as Process Variable. I want to pass this variable to an appian integration to have the result. But it doesn't work, how can I do that?  Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, Robotic processes are missing under RPA integration drop down. Can someone help on why this behavior. This is the screenshot for clarification of the issue:

How to create an expression rule that returns a list of data from a table in a database?  I already queried in my data using a constant, now I need to create a rule that will returns a list of employee names from a database using the tables primary key (employee_id). 

Hi all, I'm trying to clean up some very messy data by converting text strings representing dates into date objects. The input strings are extracted from various documents (using Appian Document Extraction), so the messiness of the inputs is not something I have control over and cannot be standardized ahead of time. I've found multiple posts on this forum featuring recent recommendations from Appian employee [mention:ab53b06651874f7ba5bfbf12e75aa807:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  to use the value() function for this purpose, so it does seem like this is an expected use case for the function; I'm not trying to do something crazy here. However, the value function does not appear to be working as documented...? This is copied directly from the latest version (21.2) of the official value() documentation on the value() function: Syntax value ( text, [format] ) text: (Text) The string of characters to be converted into a number or date. format: (Text) The

The Maven settings doesn't look like it was well configured after inputting the required parameters. Can anyone please help out. Thank you.

I have a view table which contains 100000 records. What measures are to be considered to obtain faster query results?

Has anyone received this error before in their execution logs "Reason to abort execution was NO_DATA_RECEIVED"? Below is a snapshot of the execution logs. This is on a Windows 2019 VM that I'm running the bot on. I've had multiple successful runs prior to this. So, I'm wondering what this error means, and why I'm suddenly getting it, without any change in code.

Hi Appian Community, I have a RPA process I run on a Windows 2019 Virtual Machine via VirtualBox, on my MacBook Pro. I've run this process successfully 20+ times which takes around 1 min 20 seconds from start to finish Today, however it took 1 hr and 33 minutes to run, which is odd because I hadn't changed the process or inputs at all. I decided to let it run till it hit an error, and was surprised that it actually finished. Does any one have any input as why RPA processes would be this slow? Or what factors I should look at to make a RPA process faster?  The process itself just goes on a website and tries to grab some values off the site. Below is the execution logs where I noticed the bot just stopped running after it opened the browser and ran through another gateway. And you can see on the next line that it took 44 minutes for the bot to figure out that the "element was not present." It was a very simple gateway that just determined if a browser element

I am unable to download RPA Client. It gets been blocked . Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated

Hi, Anyone override the manageException function for handling any unknown Exception in Appian RPA.I tried it with the below appian documents, however it didn't worked. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.1/rpa-7.8/templates/template-basic-robot.html I was using that method with Browser Module and seeing that method never get invoked in case of unhandled or unknown exception. Regards, Mukesh

Hi All,  I am trying to read data from Web Application using Get Attribute Functionality with the help of a CSS selector. When I see the logs, the bot was able to find the element in the first attempt but it is unable to read and send the value to Appian RPA console. The log messages tells me that " User-UUID header field is not provided found for resource /api/v1/evaluate".  Can someone please advise me on this functionality. thanks

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement to update more than 100 constants from the UI, for that I created Process model and I used Update Constant smart service , But the problem I am facing is for each constant I have to use separate "UPDATE CONSTANT" smart service. So is there any way to handle this kind of situation, apart from writing Smart service for each constant? 

I'm newbie to RPA and MVN. Not sure I fully understand the workflow when working with JAVA outside of RPA. It is my understanding that once the robot is created an export is being downloaded to my machine which  I can customized and deploy using "mvn clear deploy" command.  However, if I make changes to the robot on the Appian side in the workflow editor, how do these changes get reflected in my project ? Is there similar pull/checkout command ? 

When a robot is generated a package is being downloaded with a Maven project.  How can I re-export this package later during the life cycle of the robot  (with updated content) ? The export robotic process button in the top bar of the configuration page exports different package format. Thanks

Import .side file into workflow. New workflow looks good. Save changes. Reload workflow. Old workflow is back. Please advise

Team, We have a requirement to transfer a document from one appian system to another. Do we have any template for sample code for WebApi , can the same be achieved using webapi?
