During your investigation, you notice a high Work Queue - Java Work Queue Size value in the logs You also notice unattended process activities, including timer events and sending notifications emails, are taking far longer to execute than normal.
The client Increased the number of CPU cores prior to the application going live What is the next recommendation?
- A. Add more application servers.
- B. Add execution and analytics shards
- C. Optimize slow-performing user interfaces.
- D. Add more engine replicas.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Adding more engine replicas will increase the number of threads available to execute unattended process activities, such as timer events and sending notification emails. This will reduce the Java Work Queue Size and improve the performance of the application. Verified References: Appian Engine Performance Logs, Appian Engine Configuration
NEW QUESTION # 16
You are running an inspection as a part of the first deployment process from TEST to PROD. You receive a notice that one of your objects will not deploy because it is dependent on an object from an application owned by a separate team.
What should be your next step?
- A. Halt the production deployment and contact the other team tor guidance on promoting the object to PROD
- B. Create your own object with the same code base, replace (he dependent object in the application. and deploy to PROO.
- C. Push a functionally viable package to PROD without the dependencies, and plan the rest o! the deployment accordingly with the other team's constraints
- D. Check the dependencies of the necessary object Deploy w PROO if there are few dependencies and it is low risk
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Deploying an object that is dependent on another object from a different application can cause errors and inconsistencies in the production environment. The best practice is to halt the production deployment and contact the other team for guidance on how to promote the object to PROD. The other team may have a different deployment schedule, or they may have some dependencies or customizations that need to be considered. By communicating with the other team, you can ensure that the object is deployed in a safe and coordinated manner, and avoid any potential conflicts or issues.

NEW QUESTION # 17
You are just starting with a new team that has been working together on an application for months. They ask you toreview some of their views thathave been degrading inperformance. The viewsare highly complex with hundreds of lines of SOL What is the first step in troubleshooting the degradation?
- A. Go through all of the tables one by one to identify which of the grouped by. ordered by. or joined keys are currently indexed
- B. Run an explain statement on the views, identify criticalareas of improvement that can be remediated and without business knowledge
- C. Go through the entire database structure to obtain on overview, ensure you understand the business needs, andthen normalize the tables to optimizeperformance.
- D. Browse through the tables, note any tables that contain a large volume of null values, and work with your team to plan for table restructure.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The first step in troubleshooting the degradation of the views is to run an explain statement on the views, identify critical areas of improvement that can be remediated without business knowledge. An explain statement is a tool that shows how a database executes a query or a view, and provides information about the cost, plan, and steps involved in the execution. By running an explain statement on the views, you can identify any inefficiencies or bottlenecks that are causing the degradation, such as missing indices, full table scans, nested loops, or hash joins. You can then apply some basic optimization techniques that do not require business knowledge, such as creating indices, limiting the number of columns or rows returned, using joins instead of subqueries, or using materialized views.

NEW QUESTION # 19
You are required to create an integration from your Appian cloud instance to an application hosted within a customers self-managed environment.
The customers IT team has provided you with a REST API endpoint to test with; httpsV/lnternal networkVapi/api /ping Which recommendation should you make to progress this integration?
- A. Add Appian Cloud's IP address ranges lo the customer network's allowed IP listing
- B. Set up a VPN tunnel
- C. Expose the API as a SOAP-basedweb service.
- D. Deploy the API / service into Appian Cloud
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
To create an integration from your Appian cloud instance to an application hosted within a customer's self-managed environment, you need to ensure that there is a secure and reliable connection between the two systems. One way to do this is to set up a VPN tunnel, which is a virtual private network that encrypts and transports data over the internet. A VPN tunnel allows you to access the customer's internal network and API endpoint from your Appian cloud instance, without exposing them to the public internet. This way, you can ensure the security and privacy of the data that is exchanged between the two systems. Verified References:

NEW QUESTION # 20
Your clients customer management application is finally released lo Production. After a few weeks of small enhancements and patches, the client Is ready to build their next application. The new application will leverage customer information from the first application to allow the client to launch targeted campaigns for select customers in order to increase sales.As part of the first application, your team had built a section lo display key customer information such as their name, address, phone number, how long they have been a customer, etc. A similar section will be needed on the campaign record you are building.
One of your developers shows you the new object they are working on for the new application and asks you to review it as they are running Into a few issues.
What feedback should you give?
- A. Ask the developer to convert the original customer section into a shared object so it can be used by the new application
- B. Provide guidance to the developer on how to address the issues so that they can proceed with their work
- C. Create a duplicate version of that sect<on designed for the campaign record.
- D. Point the developer to the relevant areas in the documentation or Applan Community where they can find more Information on the issues they are running into.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The best practice for reusing common UI components across multiple applications is to create shared objects, which are objects that can be referenced by other applications without being copied or duplicated. This way, any changes made to the shared object will be reflected in all applications that use it, ensuring consistency and maintainability. Therefore, instead of creating a duplicate version of the customer section for the new application, the developer should convert the original customer section into a shared object and reference it from both applications. Verified References: Appian Documentation, section "Shared Objects".
NEW QUESTION # 21
You have an active development team (Team A) building enhancements for an application (App X'). and ate currently using the TEST environment for UAT.
A separate operations team ('Team B) discovers a critical error in the Production instance of App X that they must remediate However. Team 6 does not have a hotfix stream for which to accomplish this The available environments are DEV. TEST, and PROD Which risk mitigation effort should both teams employ to ensure Team AS capital project is only minorly interrupted, and Team B s critical fix can be completed and deployed quickly to end users?
- A. Team 8 must address the changes directly in PROD. As there is no hotfix stream, and OEV and TEST are being utilized for active development it is best to avoid a conflict of components. Once Team A has completed their enhancements work. Team 6 can update DEV and TEST accordingly.
- B. Team 8 must address changes in the TEST environment These changes can then be tested and deployed directly to PROD. Once the deployment is complete. Team B can then communicate their changes to Teams to ensure they are Incorporated as a part of the next release.
- C. Team 8 must communicate to Team A which component will be addressed in the hotfix to avoid overlap of changes It overlap exists, the component must be versioned to its PROD state before being remediated and deployed, and then versioned back to its latest development state If overlap does not exist, the component may be remediated and deployed without any version changes
- D. Team A must analyze their current codebase in OEV lo merge the hotfix changes into their latest enhancements. Team B is then requited to wait for the hotfix to follow regular deployment protocols from DEV to the PROO environment.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
This is the best risk mitigation effort that both teams can employ to ensure that Team A's capital project is only minorly interrupted, and Team B's critical fix can be completed and deployed quickly to end users. By communicating with Team A, Team B can identify which component is causing the critical error in PROD, and check if there is any overlap of changes with Team A's enhancements. If there is an overlap, Team B can version the component to its PROD state, which is the last stable version, before making any changes to fix the error. Then, Team B can deploy the fixed component to PROD, and version it back to its latest development state, which includes Team A's enhancements. This way, Team B can avoid overwriting or losing any of Team A's work, and ensure that the component is consistent across all environments. If there is no overlap, Team B can simply make the changes to the component and deploy it to PROD, without affecting Team A's work.
The other options are not as effective. Option B, having Team A analyze their current codebase in DEV to merge the hotfix changes into their latest enhancements, would delay the deployment of the critical fix, as Team B would have to wait for Team A to finish their analysis and merge. Option C, having Team B address the changes in TEST, would interrupt Team A's UAT process, and could cause conflicts or errors in TEST or PROD. Option D, having Team B address the changes directly in PROD, would be risky and not recommended, as it could introduce new errors or inconsistencies in PROD.

NEW QUESTION # 22
You add an index on the searched field of a MySQL table with many rows (>100k).
The field would benefit greatly from the Index in which three scenarios?
- A. The Add contains Dig integers, above and below 0.
- B. The field contains many datetimes, covering a large range
- C. The field contains a structured JSON.
- D. The field contains a textual shot Business code.
- E. The field contains long unstructured text such as a hash
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The field would benefit greatly from the index in the following scenarios:
* A. The field contains a textual short Business code. This is a scenario where an index can improve the performance of queries that search for exact matches or ranges of values in the field. A textual short Business code is likely to have high cardinality, meaning that it has many distinct values and low duplication. This makes the index more selective and efficient, as it can quickly narrow down the results based on the search criteria.
* C. The field contains many datetimes, covering a large range. This is a scenario where an index can improve the performance of queries that search for exact matches or ranges of values in the field. A datetime field is likely to have high cardinality, meaning that it has many distinct values and low duplication. This makes the index more selective and efficient, as it can quickly narrow down the results based on the search criteria.
* D. The field contains big integers, above and below 0. This is a scenario where an index can improve the performance of queries that search for exact matches or ranges of values in the field. A big integer field is likely to have high cardinality, meaning that it has many distinct values and low duplication. This makes the index more selective and efficient, as it can quickly narrow down the results based on the search criteria.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
* B. The field contains long unstructured text such as a hash. This is a scenario where an index might not improve the performance of queries that search for exact matches or ranges of values in the field. A long unstructured text field is likely to have low cardinality, meaning that it has few distinct values and high duplication. This makes the index less selective and efficient, as it cannot quickly narrow down the results based on the search criteria. Moreover, indexing a long unstructured text field could increase thestorage space and maintenance cost for the database, which could affect the overall performance.
* E. The field contains a structured JSON. This is a scenario where an index might not improve the performance of queries that search for exact matches or ranges of values in the field. A structured JSON field is not a native data type in MySQL, and it requires special functions or operators to access or manipulate its elements. Indexing a structured JSON field could increase the complexity and overhead for the database, which could affect the overall performance.

NEW QUESTION # 23
You are taskedto build a large scale acquisition application for a prominent customer. The acquisition process tracks the time it takes is fulfill a purchase request with an award.
The customer has structured the contract so that there are multiple application dev teams.
How should you design for multiple processes and forms, while minimizing repeated code?
- A. Create duplicate processes and forms as needed
- B. Create a common objects application.
- C. Create a Center of Excellence (CoE)
- D. Create a Scrum of Scrums sprint meeting for the team leads
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
To build a large scale acquisition application for a prominent customer, you should design for multiple processes and forms, while minimizing repeated code. One way to do this is to create a common objects application, which is a shared application that contains reusable components, such as rules, constants, interfaces, integrations, or data types, that can be used by multiple applications. This way, you can avoid duplication and inconsistency of code, and make it easier to maintain and update your applications. You can also use the common objects application to define common standards and best practices for your application development teams, such as naming conventions, coding styles, or documentation guidelines.

NEW QUESTION # 24
Your application contains a process model that Is scheduled to run daily at a certain time, which kicks off a user input task to a specified user on the 1ST time zone for morning data collection The time zone is set to the (default) pm!timezone.
In this situation, what does the pm!tinezone reflect?
- A. The time zone of the user who is completing the input task.
- B. The time zone of the server where Applan is intuited
- C. The line zone of the user who most recently published the process model
- D. The default time zone for the environment as specified in the Administration Console
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
In this situation, pm!timezone reflects the default time zone for the environment as specified in the Administration Console. pm!timezone is a process variable that returns the time zone of the process. If the time zone is not explicitly set in the process model, then pm!timezone returns the default time zone for the environment, which can be configured in the Administration Console. In this case, the time zone is set to the (default) pm!timezone, which means that the process model does not have a specific time zone, and therefore uses the default time zone for the environment.
The other options are not correct. Option A, the time zone of the server where Appian is installed, is not what pm!timezone reflects, as the server time zone may not be the same as the default time zone for the environment. Option B, the time zone of the user who most recently published the process model, is not what pm!timezone reflects, as the user's time zone may not be the same as the default time zone for the environment. Option D, the time zone of the user who is completing the input task, is not what pm!timezone reflects, as the user's time zone may not be the same as the default time zone for the environment.
NEW QUESTION # 25
Your Appian project just went live with the following environment setup; DEV > TEST (SIT/DAT) > PROD Your client is considering adding a support team to manage production defects and minor enhancements, white the original development team focuses on Phase 2 Your client is asking you for a new environment strategy that will have the least impact on Phase 2 development work.
Which option involves the lowest additional server cost and the least code retrofit effort?
- A. Phase 2 development work steam: DEV > TEST (SIT) > STAGE (UAT) > PROO Production support work stream DEV > TEST2 (SIT/UAT)>PROO
- B. Phase 2 development work stream: DEV > TEST (SIT/UAT) >PROD Production support work stream DEV > TEST2 (SIT/UAT) > PROO
- C. Phase 2 development work Stream: DEV > TEST (SIT) > STAGE (UAT) > PROO Production support work stream DEV2 > STAGE (S1T/UAT) > PROD
- D. Phase 2 development work stream: OEV > TEST (Srr/DAT) > PROO Production support work stream. DEV2 > TEST (SIT/UAT) > PROD
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The option B involves the lowest additional server cost and the least code retrofit effort, as it only requires one additional environment (DEV2) for the production support work stream. The production support work stream can use the existing STAGE environment for testing and user acceptance testing, as it is shared with the phase
2 development work stream. This way, there is no need to create a separate TEST2 environment or to retrofit any code from TEST to STAGE or from STAGE to PROD. Verified References: [Appian Certified Lead Developer study guide], page 16, section "Environment Strategy".
NEW QUESTION # 26
You are required to configure a connection so that Jira can inform Appian when specific tickets change (using webhook).
Which three required steps will allow you to connect both systems?
- A. Create a Web API object and set up the correct security.
- B. Configure the connection In Jira specifying the URE and credentials
- C. Give the service account system administrator privileges
- D. Create a new API Key and associate a service account
- E. Create an integration object from Applan to Jira to periodically check the ticket status
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The three required steps that will allow you to connect both systems are:
* A. Create a Web API object and set up the correct security. This will allow you to define an endpoint in Appian that can receive requests from Jira via webhook. You will also need to configure the security settings for the Web API object, such as authentication method, allowed origins, and access control.
* B. Configure the connection in Jira specifying the URL and credentials. This will allow you to set up a webhook in Jira that can send requests to Appian when specific tickets change. You will need to specify the URL of the Web API object in Appian, as well as any credentials required for authentication.
* C. Create a new API Key and associate a service account. This will allow you to generate a unique token that can be used for authentication between Jira and Appian. You will also need to create a service account in Appian that has permissions to access or update data related to Jira tickets.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
* D. Give the service account system administrator privileges. This is not required and could pose a security risk, as giving system administrator privileges to a service account could allow it to perform actions that are not related to Jira tickets, such as modifying system settings or accessing sensitive data.
* E. Create an integration object from Appian to Jira to periodically check the ticket status. This is not required and could cause unnecessary overhead, as creating an integration object from Appian to Jira would involve polling Jira for ticket status changes, which could consume more resources than using webhook notifications.

NEW QUESTION # 27
You have 5 applications on your Appian platform in production. Users are now beginning to use multiple applications across the platform, and the client wants to ensure a consistent user experience across all applications You notice that some applications use rich text some use section layouts, and others use box layouts. The result is that each application has a different color and size for the header.
What would you recommend to ensure consistency across the platform?
- A. Create constants for text size and color, and update each section lo reference these values.
- B. In the common application, create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers, and update each application to reference this new rule
- C. In the common application, create one rule for each application, and update each application to reference its respective rule
- D. In each individual application, create a rule that can be used lot tot section headers, and update each application lo reference its respective rule
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The best way to ensure consistency across the platform is to create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers. This rule can be created in the common application, and then each application can be updated to reference this rule. This will ensure that all of the applications use the same color and size for the header, which will provide a consistent user experience.
The other options are not as effective. Option A, creating constants for text size and color, and updating each section to reference these values, would require updating each section in each application. This would be a lot of work, and it would be easy to make mistakes. Option C, creating one rule for each application, would also require updating each application. This would be less work than option A, but it would still be a lot of work, and it would be easy to make mistakes. Option D, creating a rule in each individual application, would not ensure consistency across the platform. Each application would have its own rule, and the rules could be different. This would not provide a consistent user experience.
Best Practices:
* When designing a platform, it is important to consider the user experience. A consistent user experience will make it easier for users to learn and use the platform.
* When creating rules, it is important to use them consistently across the platform. This will ensure that the platform has a consistent look and feel.
* When updating the platform, it is important to test the changes to ensure that they do not break the user experience.

NEW QUESTION # 29
As part of an upcoming release of an application, a new nullable field is added to a table that contains customer dataThe new field is used by a reportin the upcoming release, and is calculated using data from another table.
Which two actions should you consider when creating the script to add the new field?
- A. Create a script thatadds the held and leaves it null.
- B. Create a rollback script that removes the field.
- C. Create a script that adds the field and then populate it
- D. Add a view that joins the customer data to the data used in calculation
- E. Create a rollback script that clears the data from the field
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
When creating a script to add a new field to a table, you should consider two actions:
* Create a rollback script that removes the field. A rollback script is a script that can undo the changes made by the original script, in case something goes wrongor the changes need to be reverted. A rollback script is a good practice to have, as it can help to restore the previous state of the database and avoid any errors or inconsistencies. In this case, the rollback script should remove the new field from the table, and any other changes that were made by the original script.
* Create a script that adds the field and then populate it. A script that adds the field and then populate it is a script that can create the new field in the table, and then fill it with data from another table or source.
* This way, you can ensure that the new field has valid and consistent data, and that it can be used by the report in the upcoming release. In this case, the script should add the new field to the customer table, and then populate it with data from another table that contains the data used in the calculation.
