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.

Hi All,  I am trying to read data from Web Application using Get Attribute Functionality with the help of a CSS selector.

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

We had an issue at production yesterday where the system tried to access a property inside an empty string.Looking more closely, we discovered that the a!fromJson is not doing as it was supposed to do. Here on the a!fromJson (21.1) documentation, we see that the property with an empty string it's converted to null But when we execute the same code on the expressions, this comes back as an empty string, not maintaining its described functionality. The problem is that when we try to access a property from a null value, it does not throw an error. But when we try to access a property from a Text it throws an error and we know how problematic those are

Hi Everyone, I have a scenario where the bot will send the document from local server to Appian knowledge center via API. My clients wanted to know how the document is secured. 1.

Hi All, I'm trying to build a use case where a bot needs to fill in an Appian Form from a Site. I have used browser low code module to achieve this. However I see an issue while choosing a value from dropdown field. I have been using XPATH to fill in the form fields and it works in all the use cases except for dropdowns. Below is the options I have chosen Selector: XPATH Interaction: Select dropdown choice by visible text Looks like the a!dropdownField() is not recognized as a dropdown by the RPA browser module's select dropdown by index/visible text. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks, Arjun.
