I'm getting the error 'JAXB failure trying to convert value ProcessInfo{.....} to Appian type ProcessInfo (id=xxx)' when using the Start Process node in a process model.

Does anyone know what may have caused this issue?

Getting a very similar error on a webapi that accepts emoji and then starts a process. The process actually starts successfully, but the a!startprocess flows to the onError path because it can't parse the processInfo metadata.

Hi Jim, I'd suggest opening a ticket with Appian Support (if you haven't already)

I have seen similar issues with write to multi data store entity smart service. when Appian is trying to handle an XML structure that contains special characters or emojis. Given that process variable field contains special characters, please check if the same process without the special characters in the pv value  also fails

Hi Sandy did you get any solution for this

I had the same issue. I have just found that it works when I check "hidden" for one big process variable in my process in the properties. This variable is loaded by a query with multiple recordtype linked.  Maybe a problem in the technical management of the process due to the memory of the reports, process history and so on...
