Process Modeling

Hi I , have configure the Sent Receive Messages but they just stop to work. I don't think is the configuration it seems that I have conflict with it in the server, so I want to ask is there is a way by analyzing logs to see what is the issue. We are still on 18.1  with the last package for that version. BR,Natasa

I have the Outputs tab of a Write to Data Store Entity setup where AC!StoredValues is stored as the process variable (PV) that I'm inputting. The data is successfully written into the DB, but the id is not saved back to the PV. I don't see a "Modify Variable" or similar activity being done after/during the Write to DSE action. As a workaround, I've made a custom output to store ac!StoredValues.id into a new pv!id. This works and I use a script to save it to the original PV. Am I missing something in my attempt to save the entire AC!StoredValues into my PV? Like does it need to be cast or only work with certain datatypes?

Hello all, Is it not possible to use a Rule Expression as the expression that defines the configuration of a Timer Event? We have an issue with setting up a timer based Exception Flow on a User Input task where the timer is defined as "Skip this node at the date and time specified by this expression" and the logic is implemented as a Rule Expression instead of writing it directly within the Timer event configuration. The issue that users see when the Task is loaded is "This task may have been deleted or completed by another assignee". However, when we copy the logic from the Rule Expression and paste it directly into the timer event configuration, then there is no such issue.

I have created Process model to add vehicle after approval from supervisor. For approval, task is created. When I debug the process model , not able to see task on Task tab. Please help me out.

Hello,  I have a question about the timer functionality.  What I need is a recurring process automatically to execute. Each Month. Each day 30 of each each month. or Each last work day in the month. Configured the way it is in the screenshot is not working.  Two questions occurs here. If I don't need the Delay option how this should be configured ? In this case all I need is the process to execute at certain time. Second is Selecting Time recurrence will that guarantees that the process will automatically execute , and it will repeat each month on day 30 or each last work day of the current month ? Thank you.

Hi All, Could someone please help me on below? Ques: How can two rules be called in Process Model simultaneously? Thanks Faisal

when i upload a document in the interface..,the process is running well and instances were recorded in the folder but the folder is beeing empty(it is not containing the document which i uploaded in UI)

Is there any way to redirect all the alert emails to the specified email ids without mentioning the group/user in the alert tab of each process model. In general we can specify a group or user in the alert tab to receive the alert emails, but if we forgot or override the change then by default all the users in the environment will receive the alert emails. To avoid this I would like to configure some list of email ids to receive all the email alerts.

I am facing an issue with one of my process models. The process has a De-Activate User node which is supposed to run as multiple instances, but it halts each and every time the process goes through that node. Once the designer right clicks on the node of the running instance and click on the "Start", the node starts executing from there without any error. Attaching the process model and Other tab properties of the node. Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated!

I have a admin screen, where the logged-in user can place a request. The approving task should go to the all the users in the admin group except the requestor. I tried difference(getdistinctusers(pv!groupName), loggedinUser()) on user input task assignment tab, but the task is still assigning to requestor.

Hello! How to debug an process model in order to find the reason why it stops? when the flow comes from the node SLA, it pass the other check(OR node) normally and the flows continue, but if the flow comes form the SLA2 , it stops on the OR node(Feedback all positive?). at this point I do not have any instance, any of current task and any error shows.  Where might be the problem? How I can find the solutions at this point? Thank you !

I have few process models which are timer-based and are started every day at a certain point in time. The issue I am facing is there are specifically some nodes like: One script task in the parent process model Few discrete script tasks in some of the sub-processes called from the parent process model One sub-process node Ond De-activate user node in one of the sub-process The issue is that, they are not running automatically which they are supposed to run. This is happening only with some specific nodes which I've mentioned. I've compared the configuration with the other similar nodes in the process models which are running fine but couldn't find any difference which may lead to this issue. To run these nodes, I have to specifically right-click on the concerned node of the running instance and click on Start. Post that, it goes through properly. Any help on this would be great!

I am attempting to config the node and it works great when I use the subject, but the subject will change except for "RE:" in front of it.  When I attempt to set it up with ToEmails or To Names it never kicks off. Thoughts?

Hi Appian Experts, I have a requirement where i want to launch external system directly from related action without user interaction/extra click on UI. External system should launch soon as i click on related action.  Creating UI task with giving safe link will not work here as user interaction  not required, also, webContentField component will not work here because launch URL is not safe url(it's http url) . Any quick help will be highly appreciated.

Is there a way to Fix multiple process instances of a process model ?

I am working on a process model and it needs to stop at a certain time (For example 2PM CST) However, I don't see any option to do it. I've tried working on the advance options but it seems like that doesn't satisfy it as well. This was the condition that I put in Advance Options now() < local(fn!todate(today()), timezoneid()) + 30/24 Any suggestion is welcome.

I am having difficulty with adding a Start Process smart service to a Process model.  My scenario is that I have a process model that runs an interface that gives the user an option of 3 things and enters their selection into a rule input, ri!userinput, then I have an XOR that amaryllises the value and directs them to the  smart service they selected and I want that to start the process model for the selection, like one is an "Customer Maint" interface, one is a "Contact Maint" and one is an "Create Event" interface. I wanted to do this via the Process Model instead of the interface but is it even an option or should I just complete in the interface?

Hello community, is it possible to set/change the value of a process variable in a scripttask/expression for example when a condition is true other than node output is stored as. I know how to set a value of a processvariable in the node output, but can it be done in like setting the value of a localvariable?example:if(pv!fruit="Apple",pv!color:"green","") Kind Regars, Erik

The available options on escalation are : reassign, change priority, send alert and send message.  I cannot see an option to execute a script in the same process model.  is the only way creating a different process  (and send message) ? 

 When I select the items in the grid and click on the button in the background the process model should trigger, and it must complete successfully, But when I click the button instantly twice or thrice immediately another process model is triggering the items which have selected becomes duplicate in next section. So, Here race condition occurs. Actually, we tried to restrict that button not to click it a second time by the user. The problem is before writing to the DB by the first process model in the fraction of seconds processes model also. In the interface, we are passing the selected items through the start process and try to capture the output. But nothing works. Let me know is there any way to stop the race condition either in an interfcae or process model

 this is the code related to start form  a!localVariables( local!groups,a!formLayout( label: if(ri!readOnly,"Meeting Information","Request New Meeting"), contents: { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { if(ri!readOnly, a!textField( label: "Meeting Subject ", labelPosition:"ADJACENT", value: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject, saveInto: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject, readOnly:true ), a!textField( label: "Meeting Subject ", labelPosition:"ABOVE", value: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject, saveInto: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject, required: true, validations: if( len( ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject ) > 50, "Value may not be longer than 50 characters. You have entered " & len( ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.subject ) & " characters.", null ) ) ), if( ri!readOnly, a!paragraphField( label: "Meeting Body", labelPosition: "ADJACENT", value: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo.body, saveInto: ri!MMS_Meetinginfo

Hello, In the "user input task" there is an option "Allow users to save a draft of in-progress tasks". I'd like to know if there was a way to launch the save draft by the system, I mean if we can do the save without an user's action (click on the button or do the "ctrl+s" shortcut). We need to be able to have kind of "auto save" of the current form. Do you think that is possible ? Thank you

Hi, I need to access process variables in a "record type" object. I need the value of the variables that the active task of the process has in their data inputs. Is this possible? How can I do this? Thank you, Rita Ferreira
