Process Modeling

Hi, My use case is this: - We have set automatic deletion for process 4 days fater its termination - If users report some issue, we archived process involved using Process Management Utilities plugin, just to be sure that we dont lose all the data about what user did, services responses, and so on. We are assuming that archives process remains there until we manually remove them when issue get solved. - To see all the info about process execution on a better view, our idea is unarchive the process using the aforementioned plugin My question is, ¿once we get a process unarchived will Appian remove it if its retention period is expired? In my case, ¿will Appian remove the unarchived process when the 4 days period is over? ¿What happen if we unarchived a process after the 4 days period? Regards

Hi  I'm using document extraction and document Reconcile document extraction smart service to process the invoices.  The document extraction is successfully getting completed but in the Reconcile smart service document is shown as broken. The document contains invoice information and invoice item details.  Another thing, invoice items is a table and it failed to get extracted? Can't find the reason?  Please let me know if anyone came across similar kind of problem. Kind Regards Rahul Gundu

Hi, we have a process with 2 tasks. When the first task has been completed, there is a subprocess that elaborate different script and, simultaneously, second task has been opened in chaining. Second task is used to preverse chaining in the process, meanwhile the activities of subprocess are on working. Until the subprocess has not been completed, if user click on submit button, task has been generated, This is simple example: Sometimes, after completed the second task (without subprocess completed), system regenerate the task with SUBMITTED Status and user cannot retrieve it in the task list. Do you encounter this problem? Is there a way to solve it? Thanks in advance. Regards, Juri Monti

I have a case where i need to delete 1million documents from appian. so what I did is querying the appian doc ids from the DB and checking whether the appian has this document and proceeding with deletion. for this i planned 2 approaches: 1. using a rule querying the doc ids from db. then, I will make an intersection with doc folder (getting list of doc ids in this folder) and doc id list to confirm those ids are in Appian and proceed with deletion. 2.adding a script task before deletion to whether doc is present in appian or not using isObjectexists then proceed with deletion(currently my environment has only delete single doc at one time) which will be best solution and pros and cons of it or is there any other ways . I'm new to Appian can anyone help me this ?Thanks in advance

Hello, I have an issue with a record action process model that sends a message to another process model to raise an exception on a user task.This was working previously, but seems not to send the message anymore.I have checked the following to find a solution: The record action is correctly picking out the correct process id to send the message.Copy and pasting the "get process id" and "send message" nodes to a sandbox test process model correctly sends the message and throws the exception on user task.Here are the set-ups for the send and receive messages:

Hello all -  I have a process model, where the first task is to call the database for a view (image1). This view has a unique column that is saved to a CDT with other columns (roleid and rest of columns). I save the output of the query database results to an array variable that has the view CDT. My next task would be to iterate through the array variable to update the table that matches the roleid. How can I loop through each array with roleid from the variable and match it to the table roleid? I don't think using a Query Database with the following is correct as the variable propert doesn't seem accessible. Thank you for your help.

I am trying to implement send e-mail activity. The instance is working fine with no exception or error but I haven't received any mail.

I'm trying what should be a very simple task ... and I can't get it working!  I've created a Related Action to update a record - just used the automatic creation tool that built me an interface and a process.  In my user interface, if I include the related actions dropdown on the record view, this update works perfectly. The interface shows all the fields and allows me to update and hit Save. Perfect. But now instead of using that interface from the related action dropdown, i'd like to place it in a view so that it shows as a toolbar menu item across the top toolbar. But now, when I hit Save on that interface, nothing happens. It's like it's not calling the process at all.  Here's my related action and my view - what am I missing?

I am querying data and getting all the desired data  from DB. And Ids are one of them.Now I need to move these data from expression rule to process model after doing required changes in the rule. These Ids are like {123456, 345789, 567890, 120078}. I stored them in map like map(id: {123456, 345789, 567890,120078}). But when I am trying to extract these Ids from the map using indexing  and use with a process varible, which is an integer type with multiple checked, to store data, it is storing like {123,456; 345,789; 567,890; 120,078}.  Kindly help me to get my Ids as they are without these unnecessary commas
