Installing Appian Government Procurement Analytics
This content applies solely to Award Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 23.2 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

The Appian Procurement Analytics application (PA) integrates with your Award Management solution to provide a consolidated view of your spending, displaying valuable metrics and goals specific to your organization.

This guide provides how-to instructions for installing the PA module, which consists of three main steps:

  1. Download the software package.
  2. Create the database objects in the business data source.
  3. Import the PA application into the Appian environment.

Before starting the installation process, review the System Requirements to ensure all minimum requirements are met.

System requirements

  • Appian version 23.2 for PA 1.0.
  • Award Management 1.5.0.
  • A supported version of a MariaDB or Oracle database as a business data source.
    • Note: If you are not using a compatible version of MariaDB or Oracle, you will need to upgrade to a compatible version before installing PA 1.0.
  • A supported web browser.

Step 1: Download software package

To install PA, download the software package containing the following files you will use in the remaining setup steps.

  • 01.ProcurementAnalyticsv1.0.0.sql: SQL script for creating the database objects needed for the PA application.
  • ProcurementAnalyticsv1.0.0.zip: Application package to import into Appian.

To download the software package:

  1. Go to the SUPPORT tab on My Appian.
  2. Click the DOWNLOADS tab.
  3. Click SOLUTIONS.
  4. Find and open Procurement Analytics V1.0.0.
  5. In Downloads, click the Download Procurement Analytics link.
  6. Click PROCEED to agree to the License Agreement.
  7. Click Download Procurement Analytics v1.0.0 to download the ZIP file.
  8. Unzip ProcurementAnalyticsv1.0.0.zip to access the software installation files.

Step 2: Create database objects

To create the structure for the database tables, views, and other objects that are a part of the PA application, run a DDL script in your database.

To create the database objects:

  • In your database, run the ProcurementAnalyticsv1.0.0.sql DDL file downloaded in Step 1.

    • Note: This DDL file is optimized for MariaDB or Oracle databases. If you are using a different type of database, the DDL file may need to be modified.

Step 3: Import the application

The next step needed is installing the PA application by importing the application files into the target environment.

To import the application:

  1. In the target environment, log in as the deployment user.
  2. Navigate to the Appian Designer.
  3. Click IMPORT.
  4. Click UPLOAD and choose the ProcurementAnalyticsv1.0.0.zip file downloaded in Step 1.
  5. Click INSPECT.
  6. Review the inspection results. If there are no issues, click IMPORT PACKAGE.
    • NOTE: The import may time out due to file size, but the import will continue in the background.

Note:  If the business database is not called Appian, a warning will occur when importing the data stores. After the import completes, open each data store object and update the Data Source dropdown list to fix this issue.
