Hello, I would like to create a CDT with a primary key which must be an Auto-generated value but with a prefixed value.  Ex: "APP_01", Where the number 01 must be an auto incremented value. Is it possible to do so? If yes please suggest me a possible way to do it. I was unable to understand the following: Generating primary keys When using a sequence to generate ids (such as @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE)), we recommend allowing the system to name the sequence instead of providing a name with the generator attribute. If you choose to define a sequence generator with the generator attribute in conjunction with the @SequenceGenerator annotation, then you must provide a name, and that name must be unique across all sequence generators in the system to avoid uniqueness constraint violations https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/Database_Schema_Best_Practices.html Please help me with the above.

Hello All, Is there any way we can convert a datatype of column while querying from DB using query entity? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I hope you're well [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] I've got a Record pulling information from a SQL database. The Record displays all the relevant information in Tempo along with various filters to choose from (ie: date range, status type, user role). It also displays the 'Export to Excel' button. I'd like to once per week have the Excel document with filters of my choice (eg: status type: Complete + user role: Front Desk) for the last 10000 entries automatically be created, attached to an email automatically, and emailed out automatically. How do I achieve this? I've tried the 'Export DSE to Excel' node in a process model and then a 'Send Email' node. But I'm not sure how to have the 'Export DSE to Excel' node generate a document that has my filter requirements and the nice readable layouts the Record has. At the moment the 'Export DSE to Excel' node is just generating a document with all the ent

I want to create a site to collect error records. We will not have access to link it to our internal RDBMS. So, want to know where this data will be stored in Appian and how to do it.? Also, will we be able to fetch data through any query?

I am getting an error   "???errors.invalidParameters???" when attempting to execute a SQL Function. Here is my sQL select statement for my function: SELECT * FROM [dbo].[p3_labor] (   <@inv_mast_uid, int,>)GO a!executeStoredProcedureForQuery( dataSource: cons!POO_P21_Connection, procedureName: "p3_labor", inputs: a!storedProcedureInput( name: "inv_mast_uid", value: 114530 ) )

Hi All, we have expression backed record with multiple user filters. Record list is filtering with userfilters working as expected. where as when we click on the Export to Excel we are ending up with  "At function a!queryEntity: cannot apply a filter with blank field name. please contact a system administrator for additional details" in exported excel sheet. At List level filters are working as expected. Export to excel is not working. when we choose only single user filter that time export to excel i working fine. only issue coming when we select the multiple filters. we are passing the filters using rsp!filters to list view expression rule as a parameter of type anyType. Please let us know is it a known issue or any workaround to proceed. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need an Export to Excel button to get an Excel file from the data in a grid (getting a report). I have tried to do it from different perspectives: -I've tried to do it using CDTs (using the respective Smart Service tools Appian offers) wether it was in an Interface (in order to be able to download it there and then) or in the Process Modeler -I've also tried the SQL to Excel plug in node (due to the data being the output of a stored procedure), once again in the Process Modeler (as far as I'm concerned, I haven't found a function with the same goal. The closest I got was with the first option, but due to the changing nature of the project I am at the moment, the CDT I was using soon became obsolete and since then I've been trying to get around using one again without success. P.D.: I'm using Appian Community Edition due to not really knowing the advantages of becoming an Appian partner/customer. Thanks for your time, Francisco

Hi Appian, I have a use case to create a CDT for an oracle table. The id is configured as below, I am trying to create CDT with not specifying the sequence using JPA Annotation @GeneratedValue ( please find example 1 XML) when I do this the datastore doesn't publish. When I tried to publish my CDT with Example 2 CDT then write to db calls fail with error : ids for this class must be manually assigned before calling save().Curious to know if we can create a CDT with no sequence and make the inserts work from Appian ? Oracle Code for ID: "ID" NUMBER(38,0) GENERATED BY DEFAULT ON NULL AS IDENTITY MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER  NOCYCLE  NOKEEP  NOSCALE  NOT NULL ENABLE,  Example 1 XML: <xsd:element name="id" nillable="true" type="xsd:int"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Id @GeneratedValue @Column(name

Hi, We have a process that calls a stored procedures to modify some data records. These data are used by a SYNC Record Type in the application. To make synchonize and refresh automatically the RecordType from the Appian application, we added in the process a Smart service (Write to Datastore Entity) that updates a field of the concerned records, this works fine. Now, we have a stored procedure that cleans the DB (deleting a lot of rows of many tables). So how would you tell to Appian that the data have been deteled ? (the Record types still display the same data because they did not have been synchonized)

Hi, My entity is a sql server view. The first field is a nullable varchar.  When this field is null  or a zero length string , it appears in the created file with double inverted commas and not blank. All subsequent fields return nulls or  zero length strings correctly  as blanks ie ""|value1|||value2value3|value4|||value5""|value6|||value7 If  I create a UTF-8 csv file manually in excel with the first column as blank, it does not add double inverted commas, which is what I would expect ie |value1|||value2value3|value4|||value5|value6|||value7 Has anybody had a similar issue ? Thanks
