Process Modeling

Hi guys, I was using this "Export DSE to Excel" SS in replacement for "Export CDT to Excel" SS which is deprecated in recent version. So the problem is , they have declared CDT in the start node variable and did some changes in the script task afterwards and pass the PV as CDT in older version. But the new version is throwing error while giving the PV as CDT. Is there any way to solve this. I need help ASAP.  The error message and the process model structure. Thanks in Advance. Regards, Kavya

Is there a way to disable nodes in a process model for testing purposes? At the moment I just disconnect the nodes from the process model, but Appian doesn't seem to like that. I would like to be able to do some equivalent of commenting them out, if there's anything like that.

Hello Everyone, PFA image of Instance of a process model which ran perfectly fine without any error. Few Details are :  There are 4 parallel paths in the process Model(from top to bottom respectively). 1st run always. --> Working Fine At each run either 2nd path is traversed--> Working Fine or (3rd --> Have Issue & 4th --> Working Fine) are used. Issue: On 3rd Path, I am using the node in the red circle to store a CDT in the DB, but nothing is stored in the DB. The previous node(Expression rule) in the same path create that CDT which we want to store in DB. However if we manually open the running instance of process model & Start the encircled node by doing a right click on it, It works fine. Kindly please explain me the root cause for this & suggest what I can do to overcome this issue. Thanks, Shikhar

Hi team, I am using a record on a SITE. I am calling a PM from record link. This PM has a process start from. On clicking submit, the process should end and user should be redirected back to the record list. We are using buttonWidget component with Submit as true.  But, what's happening is the process is getting completed but the user is not redirected back to the record list. Instead, the form is still open on the screen. We used both chrome and internet explorer, we tried to clear the caches but nothing worked. I don't see any code issue as the process got completed successfully. Any Idea, what might be the issue?

Hello community, I am exploring the loop functionality of a scrip task but can't figure out how to do the following. I have a list of  6 map entries (same structure) with e.g. 4 fields and want to pass the values of the field of each map entry to a subprocess for earch entry fetching the values. I use pv!listOfMap[tp!instanceindex] to get the values. But what happens is that the script task iterates  6 times first and passing the last value of index 6, to 6 instances of the sub process. So ending with 6 instances with only the last value, instead of 1 to 6. I know I can pass the list of maps to the sub process and also pass the [tp!instanceindex] as a variable, and use the index in the sub process. But what am I doing wrong here? Kind Regards, Erik

HI, I am getting an error when I try to send emails using "Send E-Mail" service in the process model.

I have used a constant to refer 2 different groups. The user which is running the process is part of those 2 groups. Any idea why I am getting this error.

I have dynamic editable grid , i use MNI to save the rows, however it saves all rows with the first row value.

I have the following doubts: Can I bring the output parameters from the different tables or views which is added as process variable-I hope it is possible? Can I pass alias values as table input parameter like table column name is Purchase Order-but parameter name in the the JSON TEXT should be Order_Del_Number. both are same column, but I need to have the names changed.  How can I link them together. What are the different ways available in Appian.

Hello,  I need to be able to create constant inside a process which will points to a directory.  Use case is as follows:  Sime kind of project is being created. User will be able to upload files to each project. But I need each project to have different folder for files.  So when a user creates the project, the system automatically creates a folder for this project files inside the process which creates the project. First problem is that inside the process modeler after the folder is created there is no way to create a constant for this folder. So I can store the created folder inside the database but after that, when I upload the files, the fileUpload component accepts only constants and I don't have it. referencing the target as [Folder: 432432] from the DB does not work either.  Any workaround ?
