Process Modeling

Hi all! On the Appian cloud environment, a process stopped working correctly, even though there were no changes to the process model.  A change happened on the environment however, database encryption was enabled. Please suggest how to resolve the error. Error happens on the Deactivate User smart service, no details in the error. The node is being run with administrator rights (the whole lane is). This is from the tomcat-stdout.log 2023-12-05 01:07:32,459 [ajp-nio-0.0.0.0-8009-exec-58] ERROR com.appiancorp.process.runtime.activities.DeactivateUserActivity - There was an error when trying to deactivate the user [USERNAME].org.redisson.client.RedisException: Unexpected exception while processing command at org.redisson.command.CommandAsyncService.convertException(CommandAsyncService.java:299) at org.redisson.command.CommandAsyncService.get(CommandAsyncService.java:116) at org.redisson.RedissonObject.get(RedissonObject.java:90) at org.redisson.RedissonMap.scanKeyIterator(Redi

Hii, PARENT PROCESS Subprocess After filling the User input task in this parent process it goes to Subprocess, In the Subprocess I have another user input task(Enabled Activity Chain), After filling the UserInput Task in SubProcess and Submitted, again this Parent Process is started as new one. Note: In the UserInput Task of Subprocess I have a start process link which helps me to fill another form inside the userinput task of Subprocess. Submission of StartProcessLink UI lead me to create this New parent process 

I have a process model that has multiple sub processes for a project. Each sub-process references the project name that was created at the beginning of the process. The project name is retrieved by calling a rule that then saves to a process variable. At a sub-process further down the life-cycle, there is a user task (a) and the process is waiting for the user to complete the task. Outside of this process model, anyone can go and update the project name. The name is then updated in the database. My issue is that at this point (a) while waiting for the user task, the project name is not being updated even though the database has a new name and  the process variable being reference is calling a rule to get the project name. All further sub-processes after (a) gets the updated project name. Only at (a) where the task was waiting to be completed when the name change occured, is not updated.  Does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this?

Hi All, What is the best way to create multiple appian users from a list of usernames from the database (Each record has the necessary information for the user, name, last name, email etc) ? I'm just confused of how to set up the create user node for multiple users in this case. thanks in advance

Hello Guys there is a problem with my Process Model, Below is the Image of error in PM, 

Hi All, Currently we are able to configure custom DL email ID (eg: testmail.com) in tomcat server for Appian process alerts (Appian process alerts which we will receive when process got failed or error).But how to configure Subject (eg: PROD) in tomcat server, so that if any Appian process fails or error we will receive process alert with Subject displaying PROD. This will helpful to identify the Production environment process alerts. Please let us know if more details needed. Regards,Sandeep

Good day everyone,  I am new to Appian and working on a project. I have a database with the following tables: Employees (1:M) Document Status (M:1) Training Document. I am trying to make a form that allows managers to assign each employee to multiple training documents at the same time. So, I have a form like below with a checklist of all training documents (fetched through an expression rule)  When the form submits, I need the process model to write to the database multiple times to the document status CDT. For example, based on the picture above, there would need to be three entries to DB tracking status for each training document and employee. How should I set up the interface and/or process models. Any advice/suggestion would be greatly helpful!  Best,  Harsha Gurram

Hi Team,I have a CDT named PSC test which contains a  nested CDT called PSC test1(nested cdt column name :idf). In a process model script task I'm trying to make the PSC test1 as null and write into DSE. In a script task I'm mapping NULL to it, but while writing it getting error. I tried using cast(cdttype,null), null, emptycdttype. But no  improvement. Is there any solution for this?Thanks in advance!  [mention:126a676c85024855948336691b0a7b92:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  

I hope this email finds you well. I am currently working on a project involving the use of a process model to write records. While I understand that, by default, matching primary keys result in the overwriting of existing records, my specific objective is to partially overwrite data in the existing record and simultaneously create a new record with a different historical record type. Could you kindly provide guidance on the recommended approach or configuration to achieve this purpose? Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on an interface in Appian, and I'm looking to implement a record action that allows users to customize the displayed columns in a grid. Ideally, the user would be presented with a checklist containing the column field names, enabling them to select the specific columns they want to see. The unchecked fields should then be hidden from the grid. Is this functionality achievable within Appian? I appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide. Thank you!

Hi All, Is it possible to send a form in an email and have the user fill it out in the email itself and submit from there without ever leaving the email received with the form?  thanks in advance

I am a beginner with Appian. In the interface, I input values for each field of a record type and save them to process variables. In the process model, I want to reference the same record, subtract a specific field from the corresponding process variable, and perform the following actions: If the result is 0 or below, I want to send an email without changing the value.If the result is 1 or above, I want to save the calculated result in a process variable and send an email.Can you guide me on how to achieve this in Appian?
