Process Modeling

Hi, I have a case in our application where we consume data from pulsar via Pulsar Message Consumer, but what I noticed is that record type for the table which we are storing the data is not synchronizing automatically and after researching I saw that not all smart services can sync the record automatically.  So, my question is: can I add a Write Records node after Pulsar Message Consumer node so that the record will be synced, and if not what can be the best solution to this as scheduling a full sync is not an option because the process runs every 30 min each day, and we can schedule a full sync once a day. Thank you

Hi Team,Can anyone explain detailly 1.why we should not use continuous gateways in process model and 2.why we should we need to add a dummy script task in case of looping or in between the continuous gateways with a example scenario for each one of the case?Thanks in advance!

Instead of sending out an email using the process model "Alert" setting, I am trying to integrate with Pager Duty API. Is there any way we can call an integration object (to integrate with Pager Duty) so that we publish an event to Pager Duty instead of sending out an email? Right now the email is been sent out and it integrates with pager duty in that fashion but our preference is to skip sending email all together.

Hi I have a process model to create a workflow..In the first interface,the user can enter details and they can clone the workflow ‘n’ times by clicking on clone button..After clicking “submit” button,the next page comes to update each workflow by adding some levels by clicking each one.Suppose if we update the first workflow and then clicked on update button, it will show green colour.But when clicking on second workflow and click update after provided the levels,,it shows ”action completed” without giving the green colour. For example,I have cloned the workflow 2 times,after clicking on submit button ,it then moves to update page..so if I update the first workflow it will get updated,but when trying to update second it shows action completed..This is happening if we put number of clones as 10 or any number as first workflow only gets updated. In the process model,it is updating correctly for the first workflow..In the second workflow,it got break in

In our Appian Application a form is being submitted through a process mode and after the process it is automatically being redirected to home page. I want to keep the user in the same page after the submission. Is there any way to do it?

I am using Appian's Send Email Smart Service.I cannot receive emails sent to emails with the domain names @outlook.jp and @outlook.com.The Send Email Smart Service is green in the process model with no errors and the Send Email Smart Service is passing.I have tried using Appian's Send Email Smart Service with Process, Process Model, Process Initiator, Process Designer and Custom Sender as the sender, but I cannot receive the emails.The recipient email is enclosed with a toemaiaddress function. We have also checked our spam folder, but there are no emails. In Outlook, the domain of the emails sent from the Send Email Smart Service has been added to Safe domains.No specific Outlook rules have been created.The emails themselves are very small in size as they are test emails. One concern is that when I use the toemailrecipient function, emails are sent for non-outlook email addresses, but I get the error "No valid recipients resolved" for outlook email addresses.

Hi Experts I have to delete extra files from request folders. Request folders were created at the time of request creation. Extra files means , when I was trying to migrate the files from legacy environment to cloud, PM fails. So, I Re-migrate the files that's why those request folders have some extra files. Now, before deleting those files I need to take a backup of files and folders, How to do I do this , because when I take backup and reupload backup, the doc id and folder id changes and I don't want IDs to be change. Taking backup is more important because we can't except any important files to be delete.  If any solution is possible please explain step by step. Thank you guys in advance

Hi,  So I have a process model that sends an email and that email has a link that should redirect to that particular case summary page. Now, my Site has 4 tabs and in one of the tab we have 3 tabs and one of which has the record list of  some XYZ table. In the record list,when clicked on the link of a particular case redirects to the summary view that is an interface created separately which takes the identifier as the input. Now, I am able to get the tempo url but what I need is the site url. Is it possible to get the site url. I tried substituting but didn't work for me. Let me know any kind of solution. Thanks in advance 

Is there a way (or will be) to run a subprocess synchronously, containing a user task , passing pmid as a parameter? We would like to be able to execute a subprocess call in that way, passing the pmid as a parameter to control the flow of the process from, for example a Decision table.

Hello everyone. I am new in Appian and am trying to build a web app "Canteen" as part of my learning path. Couldn't find anything in other posts as I don't know how to search it. So my issue is the following... I have a Canteen Menu where each user can select products to add in the cart. On the interface I build a list of product variations (with a tempId in order to update something since I haven't saved anything on DB). When I press the "Place Order" button, I want to create a new "Order" with some fields and then get the ID of the created record. Then I will use the orderId and create the related "Product Variations" from the selected products list. How can I do this in the process model?   

We are using smart service 'export data store entity to excel'. While downloading the excel it has 4036 rows but in table in database it has more than 4036 records. We tried same with different table, limiting number of columns but each time it only generates 4036 rows in excel even if data in table is 4080 or more.  Can anyone suggest is there any limit in number of rows being generated through this smart service, or we can find any alternative method to this issue.

I am getting the following message in the log when attempting to send emails outside Appian users like a gmail account. Different recipient domain on a smart-hosted and non-authenticated email. Sending server should retry this recipient separately next.

Hi, I have a question regarding Activity Chaining? Activity Chaining is useful only for User input task  to show synchronosly or any other reason?

We have a process model (process A) with unused variables and we have a warning message in Process that "variableA" is unused. We went ahead deleted that variable and published the process. The sub process called in Process A has same variable name ("variableA") in it. In the setup of sub process we had a some logic to pass to that variable from Process A. Strangely after deleting "variableA" in process A erased the code in the setup of sub process for "variableA". Did anyone come across this behavior?

Hi All, Scenario here is for a running process model 1 node was triggered twice. 1 by running process instance and another someone manually triggered that node(manual intervention). How to find who triggered that node manually? Due to that node in parent process, a sub process model got triggered twice and user got 2 active task in fronted. But later someone cancelled 1 of the active child sub process. Will this be captured somewhere in logs? Please find Attachment of 1 process triggered by instance and another manually triggered.

Need a loop for multiple texts. To test the loop just made a dummy loop like below Start node:Process variables : array(Text, multiple, {"a","b", "c"}), iteration (Number, Integer),  len(Number Integer) Set len :Set output: expression: = length(array), stored to: pv!len  Properties: Delete after execution XOR:=pv!iteration>pv!len true End NOdeElse: Text Doc From Template Text Doc From Templatesave a document named: pv!iteraion description: pv!iteration & arrayProperties: Delete after executionIncrease Iteration:Set output: expression: = pv!iteration+1, stored to: pv!iteraion Properties: Delete after execution But I can see the it stuck at XOR after 1st iteration. Why?Let me know if you want more info.

My health check report indicates that I have the following problem to solve:"276 process models have an alert setting that does not follow best practices. All models should have explicit custom settings to alert the appropriate business support group and should not explicitly reference users." I have 459, and as far as i know most of them are configurated this way: And also this warning in all the proceses configurated this way: 1. Is this the problem? Should I set all of them with custom settings > Send to group?2. Maybe I only have part o them like this, and the other 276 processes are configurated to Send alert to an specific User and I only have to change those ones?3.Or Maybe is there any other place where I can set alarms, for example in specific nodes? Since the picture is General Properties of the Whole Process Model. Thank you so much!

What is the actual use or difference between  "a!StartProcess and a!StartProcessLink" . What could be a  real time Usecase for both .

Hi,  I have a process model , called from the interface using a!startProcess() upon hitting submit button. Each Node has been connected with activity chaining.  Nodes - There are two API calls and a user interface ( just a message with OK button -attended node configured for pp!initiator.  The process model works fine, but it waits in the User interface node for the initiator to attend it as task. my requirement is : The Interface needs to get displayed in the Site which has to be accepted by the User and not go to the task list and accept. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello team, is there a way how to have the option "Return to all assignees" kept enabled but disable the "Reject", "Reassign" buttons? If i set set the reassignment option of task to "No Privilege" it will disable the "Reject" and "Reassign" options, but as well the "Return to all assignees" which i need to keep enabled once i accept the task. Thanks for any advice
