4. Archived Process Data
✔✔Appian Architecture - The servers running the Appian engines and application
server must run on the same operating system - ✔✔True
✔✔Appian Architecture - To configure engines, zoo keeper and kafka in different
servers which files needs to get updated? - ✔✔appian-topology.xml
✔✔Appian Architecture - what modules used by the web server to connect application
server - ✔✔1. Apache uses mod_jk module to connect application server
2. MS IIS uses isapi_redirect.dll plugin to connect application server
✔✔Appian Architecture - Which file is used to configure the connections to point to the
AJP port exposed by the Application Server? - ✔✔workers.properties
✔✔Appian Architecture - High availablity - Software engine failover - ✔✔- Requires
minimum 1 cluster with 2 engine nodes, 3 kafka nodes, and 3 zookeeper nodes
, - Appian recommends 3 engine nodes
- Primary engine server replicates data to secondary and tertiary
- Only supported in Linux environments
✔✔Health Dashboard - Runtime KPIs - ✔✔1. Process activity
2. Process Metrics
3. Record Response Time
4. Record Sync Status
✔✔Health Dashboard - Design Information Dashborad 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

✔✔Integrations - What is connected System? - ✔✔Each Connected System represents
an external system you want Appian connect to.
✔✔Integrations - Why use a Connected System design object? - ✔✔The connected
system object uses the properties of the external system.Such as its base URL and
authendication. Once you create a connected system object, you can reuse it for
different use cases that connect to the same external system.
