QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Health Dashboard - Runtime KPIS - ✔✔1. Process Activity
2. Process metrics
3. Record Response Time
4. Record Sync status
✔✔Health Dashboard - Design info dashboard sections - ✔✔1. Design KPIs
2. Object recommendations
✔✔Health Dashboard - Design KPIs - Sections - ✔✔1. Objects with security warning
2. Rules with test cases/passed test cases
3. Unreferenced objects
✔✔Health Dashboard - Design KPIs - Object Recommendations - ✔✔Will list the
objects having @least one recommendation
✔✔Health Dashboard - Data Issues - troubleshooting tips - ✔✔1. What behavior did I
expect, what behavior did I observe?
2. Has anything changed?
3. Check your resources
✔✔Process Model - Task Activity - Purpose of quick task - ✔✔Quick task will be shown
as a related action on process backed records
✔✔Main place to view rule issues is? - ✔✔Design error log
✔✔Appian Testing - when should you test? - ✔✔1. Introduce new functionality
2. Updating an application
✔✔Appian Testing - types of automated testing - ✔✔1. Expression rule testing
2. Automated functional testing
- Fitnesse
- Cucumber
✔✔Integrations - what is a connected system? - ✔✔Each connected system represents
an external system you want Appian to connect to
✔✔Integrations - why use a Connected System design object? - ✔✔The connected
system object uses the properties of the external system, such as base URL, and
authentication. Once you create a connected system object, you can reuse it for
different use cases that connect to an external system
, ✔✔Integrations - connected systems - authentication types - ✔✔1. None
2. Basic
3. API key
4. AWS signature V4
5. Google service account (JSON will be used to config connections)
6. OAuth 2.0 Client credentials grant (on behalf of the application)
7. OAuth 2.0 Authorization code grant (on behalf of the user)
✔✔Integrations - connected systems - auth type - API Key - ✔✔API Key is a unique
code provided by the system to identify the user or application. When you use an API
key with your connected system, you need to specify:
1. if they key is sent as an HTTP header, or query param
2. The header or param name (Key ID for API key)
3. The value of the API key
✔✔Integrations - import customization - ✔✔The environment-specific values of certain
objects can be changed during import. This is completed using a .properties file. The
import customization file contains all the values that can be customized for the objects
and settings in your application
✔✔Integrations - GET Integrations can be used when - ✔✔They are called like
expressions
1. expressions
2. process models
3. interfaces
4. record data
✔✔Integrations - POST integrations can be used in - ✔✔called like smart rules
1. used only in "SaveInto" param of a component
✔✔Integrations - an integration can be called from a process model by using - ✔✔Call
Integration Smart Serice
✔✔Integrations - records - what data source option do you need to select if you are
building a service backed record? - ✔✔Web service
✔✔Integrations - records - without batch syncing, you can only build records tat contain
up to 1000 rows of data, once you enable batch syncing you can build larger records -
✔✔true
✔✔if the integration and record data source expression use different status code for out
of bounds error, what should you do? - ✔✔edit the code in record data source
expression
