ACD201 Appian Senior Developer Questions and Answers

You have a Case record type with data sync enabled to retrieve submitted support cases.

What is the best approach to limit who can see which records in the record type?

You're developing a record view for a case management system that enables users to upload files to a specific location within an external records application.

Your requirements are:

In this record view, there should be a record action that allows the user to upload a file to the interface and configure the metadata (name, author, file size) before submitting.

If the file is larger than 250MB, the user will be notified that the file will be uploaded overnight.

Once the file has been successfully uploaded, the file will appear on the record view and the user can interact with the file.

Which two pieces of user-facing information must be captured from this business process so that you can develop this record view? (Choose two.)

You need to configure Appian user authentication against an external directory server. The requirement is to use the same corporate logon information without single sign-on (SSO).

Which authentication type should you use?

You're configuring Health Check settings under the Admin Console.

Which section would you find the setting to indicate that the Health Check will run on a Production Environment?

You're building an application with a review workflow.

Each submission must be approved by three users who can each approve or reject their request, and leave a comment. This action changes the status of the submission to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' correspondingly, and pushes the review to the previous or next assignee.

Which data model captures the workflow requirements appropriately?

You need to implement a field-level audit functionality on the application data, and then display a log of the changes made over time to the users.

What should you do?

In reviewing the process model metrics of your application, you notice a process model with a completion rate of only 10%.

What are two possible reasons for this low completion rate? (Choose two.)

You need to display information for pending tasks for each individual in an application. The tasks may be for a single specific application.

Which context type should you select for the Task Report Type?

You need to create an expression rule that will be reused throughout your environment.

What are two reasons why you should include meaningful test cases when creating a new expression rule? (Choose two.)

A local variable is reevaluated every time a form loads and you notice subsequent slow performance of the form.

Which two steps could you perform to optimize this? (Choose two.)

You need to connect to an external system using OAuth 2.0: SAML Bearer Assertion Flow authentication type, which requests access to an API on behalf of a signed in user.

This standard has the several steps involved with the SAML Bearer Assertion Flow.

Which two steps should you perform? (Choose two.)

Which step should you perform to identify expression rules that have been causing or have caused performance issues in the past 30 days?

You're creating an interface object that displays a report of open cases. This interface will be used as the content of a site page.

Users in the "ACME Employees" group must be able to view the report.

Which two steps should you perform? (Choose two.)

You're creating an application which has integrations with multiple systems using different protocols.

Match each process model component or node to the appropriate protocol.

Note: Each protocol will be used once. To change your responses, you may deselect your response by clicking the blank space at the top of the selection list.

You're reviewing the data store performance logs. You notice several items were logged in the generated slow query log file: perf_monitor_rdbms_slow.csv.

What is the default threshold value for a slow query to be included in this log file?

You need to select a plug-in to meet a specific requirement and several plug-ins can do the job.

What are three key factors to consider? (Choose three.)

You're building a new application to track job applications for a local health club.

The owner wants to have one group of individuals perform the initial application review for completeness, a second group to manage the interview process, and a third group to make the actual hiring decisions.

Which design element should be implemented to best support a memory efficient application?

The synced record type Customer has a one-to-many relationship with the Case record type.

You need to calculate the number of open cases for each customer.

What are two valid methods to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

You need to connect to an external system using OAuth 2.0: SAML Bearer Assertion Flow authentication type, which requests access to an API on of a signed in user.

This standard has several steps involved with the SAML Bearer Assertion Flow.

Which two steps should you perform to connect to the external system? (Choose two.)

Your development team has selected Jenkins as a Continuous Integration (CI) system to integrate testing of Appian into your overall testing strategy.

What should you do to set up automated testing of expression rules using Jenkins?

Note: To answer, move all steps from the Options list to the Answer List area and arrange them in the correct order.

You're inspecting the items in a deployment package for issues you might have missed during package preparation.

Which two objects can be in your list of missing precedents for an application? (Choose two.)

You're creating a synced record type which will store read-only data from an external web service. Data in the external system is updated nightly, and the latest information must be available to users in the morning. Currently there are approximately 150,000 entries in the external system, and this number is not expected to change significantly.

There is an existing integration object and associated expression rule, which when called returns the complete dataset from the external system.

What are two configurations that you must apply to ensure that the latest and complete record set is available? (Choose two.)

You need to assign a user input task to three different groups of users: Group A, Group B, and Group C.

Each task form shares some common components with the following key differences:

Group B will receive a task that includes an additional section.

Group C will only view and enter data for one section.

What should you do?

You're performing System Integration Testing on a client's application that integrates with an external system.

In this instance, you're testing the application's interactions with external integrations to ensure that data is being handled correctly between the two systems. However, this step has been done manually and is time-consuming.

What should you do to make this process more efficient?

You need to configure a process model that runs every day at 10:00 AM. The process should start only at the specified time even when a newer version of the process model is published.

A Boolean type constant needs to be configured in the process model. The intended flow of the process should be executed only when the constant is True.

Which three steps should you perform? (Choose three.)

You need to create a read-only grid that displays support case information. Data for the support cases is mapped to the "Case" record type with data sync enabled.

Within the record, there are fields named "createdDateTime" and "resolvedDateTime". These two fields store the timestamps for when a case is created and resolved, respectively.

The grid includes a column indicating the number of hours between when the case was created and when it was resolved. This column must be sortable within the grid.

How should you calculate the hour value that will display in the column?
