1. You are facing issues when attempting to establish a SAML connection to an identity provider. You determine you need to increase the authentication-specific logging levels so that you can view trace level statements about the connection attempt in the application server log.

Which property file should you update to modify the log output level? (Choose the best answer.)

commons-logging.properties

appian_log4j.properties

logging.properties

custom.properties

Which instances of that process model will be affected? (Choose the best answer.)

Future and past instances of the process model including subprocesses.

Future instances of the process model only.

Future and past instances of the process model.

Future instances of the process model only including subprocesses.

3. A user is uploading a document in the Appian environment and wants to restrict the uploading of documents without extensions.

How can this be done at the environment level?

Enable File Upload > Block files without an extension, under Administration Console.

Document can be uploaded but cannot be restricted.

Configure Validation rules wherever required.

No actions are required from the developer; Appian auto-validates these documents.

4. You need to find a list of expression rules that are causing performance issues, or have caused performance issues in the last 30 days.

What should you do?

Use the Monitoring tab to find rules with a low completion percentage.

Access the Rule Performance tab in the Administration Console.

Inspect the application server log.

Observe the runtime of all test cases.

5. You need to create a plug-in to perform a job in the background. The plug-in should not be available under an expression rule, connected system, or the process model.

What type of plug-in should you create? (Choose the best answer.)

Smart service

6. You are about to deploy a package to another environment.

Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

It is not possible to import the same package multiple times.

7. You are creating an ERD that models the data for a college and includes a Many-to-Many relationship, Student-to-Class, where a student can be enrolled in multiple classes, and a class can enroll multiple students.

How can you handle this relationship so that it can be supported in Appian and remain in at least First Normal Form? (Choose the best answer.)

A joining table can be used to hold instances of Student/Class relationships.

The Student table should have a Class field to hold an array of Class IDs.

The Class table should have a Student field to hold an array of Student IDs.

It cannot be done, because Appian CDTs cannot handle Many-to Many relationships.

8. Which user role should be used to allow external systems to invoke Appian web APIs?

Service Account

System Administrator

Application User

Designer

9. You are investigating a slow-performing query entity which is mapped to a view and you decide to look in the data_store_details.csv log to gain more information. You see that the majority of the time is spent in the transform phase.

Which two actions can you take to reduce the time spent in the transform phase? (Choose two.)

Reduce the use of unnecessary columns in the GROUP BY clause in the database view.

Reduce the number of columns returned from the query.

Create a database index on the column being filtered against.

Lower the batch size parameter of the query.

10. Application users are seeing long wait times between two forms they need to complete for a case.

While reviewing the process model, you identify that activity chaining has been used throughout the process model, including unattended nodes.

Which three actions can you take to make the process model more efficient? (Choose three.)

Use MNI for unattended nodes and chain where possible.

Shorten long process chains by combining transactions into the smallest number of nodes.

Avoid chaining system nodes like Integrations.

Move transactions that can be done asynchronously outside of the chain.

Reduce the number of swim lanes.

11. Which of the following is a sign that an application’s performance is degrading and should be addressed with changes to the application design?

Integration calls to an external system are consistently returning an HTTP status code of 500.

Three of the top five most executed process models have a low completion percentage.

The number of tasks assigned to users has increased from 1 per day to 5 per day.

The number of objects in the Application has increased from about 100 to about 500.

12. Your organization requires a process to be initiated via an Appian web API.

Which HTTP request methods should the API use?

HEAD

GET

POST

CONNECT

13. During a sprint retrospective meeting, you need to get the team thinking about the outcomes of the last sprint.

Which two basic questions should you ask? (Choose two.)

What didn’t go well and can be improved?

What are the blockers?

Who did well in this sprint?

What went well?

14. You have been asked to produce a Tempo report, with the following requirements:

The report should display in Appian.

The data is held in a business database, but performance in Appian is a key requirement.

Which three actions can you take to minimize the performance impact of your report? (Choose three.)

Display the report as a task report on the Tasks tab.

Limit the number of series values and categories in the report.

Use local variables in your report interface to avoid redundant database queries.

Use the query process analytics function to retrieve the data.

Perform aggregation in the database using a view prior to reading the data into Appian.

15. You are using pie charts.

What is correct representation of Appian best practices? (Choose the best answer.)

Use as many slices as possible.

Pie charts should only be used to represent data that can be placed into identical categories.

Use pie charts to show proportional data.

Try to use multiple pie charts when comparing multiple sets of data.

16. You create an Integration that modifies the data.

In which three locations can it be called? (Choose three.)

Web API (GET)

Expression or Rule

Web API (POST, PUT, DELETE)

Process model

SAIL saveinto parameter

17. HOTSPOT

Match each of the business data concepts to an Appian data type. Each data type may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

18. In the next year, you expect the number of concurrent active users of your application to increase from approximately 50 to 500.

Which two recommendations for your Appian environment would address the performance risk of this large increase in users? (Choose two.)

Add more design engines.

Add more process execution engines.

Add more application server memory.

Switch from a records-centric to a process-centric design.

19. A lead designer receives this requirement:

Every time a record is modified, the data changed must be stored for audit.

Which design is the most efficient and has the least impact on the Appian application? (Choose the best answer.)

Create a custom plugin that can write an audit trail to a log file.

Create a trigger on the database table to capture the audit trail to a table.

Create an Appian process to capture the change history and write the audit trail to the database.

21. Users are reporting that their application is slow to load customer records with many transactions.

Using performance monitoring tools, you find that the following interface definition is responsible for the vast majority of page load time:

You also notice that both queries (rule!APP_GetTransactionsWithFilters and rule!APP_GetTransactionTypeWithFilters) take about 25 milliseconds each to execute when you test them using expression editor.

Which change would decrease the load time of this interface component the most? (Choose the best answer.)

Don’t fetch total count when getting transactions.

On line 4, increase the paginginfo batch size to 50 so more data is prefetched.

Use a synced record for Transactions to improve the query response time for the query performed on line 6.

Prefetched transation types and use the displayvalue() function to display the Transaction Type for each transaction.

22. You are troubleshooting a process model instance with an error in a node.

Which two options will allow you to obtain more information about the error? (Choose two.)

Open the process model from the process instance.
