This content applies solely to Award Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 23.1 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.
Introduction
Installing Award Management (AM) consists of five main steps:
In Downloads, click the Download Award Management link.
Click PROCEED to agree to the License Agreement.
Click Download Award Management v1.4.0 to download the ZIP file.
Unzip AwardManagementv23.1.1.4.0.zip to access the software installation files.
Step 2: Deploy plug-ins
You must deploy the Appian Solutions and Content Tools plug-ins for the AM solution to work. The steps for deploying plug-ins differ for an Appian Cloud or self-managed environment. Be sure to note which deployment steps you need for your environment.
Appian Cloud Environments
To deploy the plug-ins for an Appian Cloud environment:
In the target environment, log in as the deployment user.
Navigate to the Admin Console.
On the left side of the console, click Plug-ins.
Click ADD PLUG-INS.
Search for and click Appian Solutions.
Click DEPLOY.
Search for and click Content Tools.
Click DEPLOY.
Self-Managed Environments
To deploy the plug-ins for a self-managed environment:
To create the structure for the database tables, views, and other objects that are a part of the AM application, you will need to run a DDL script in your database.
To create the database objects:
In your database, run the AS AM SQL Deployment.sql DDL file downloaded in Step 1.
Note: This DDL file is optimized for MariaDB. If you are using a different type of database, the DDL file may need to be modified.
Step 4: Import the application
The next step needed is installing the AM application by importing the application files into the target environment.
To import the application:
In the target environment, log in as the deployment user.
Navigate to the Appian Designer.
Click IMPORT.
Click UPLOAD and choose the AS AM Applications.zip file downloaded in Step 1.
Select Include related import customization file.
Click UPLOAD. Select the AS AM Applications.properties file downloaded in Step 1.
Click INSPECT.
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. To fix this, after the import is complete, open each data store object and update the Data Source dropdown list.
Step 5: Import and configure RPA
The final step required is to install the robotic tasks for the AM application into the target environment.
To import and configure RPA:
Follow the Setting Up RPA instructions, which show you how to import and configure the RPA files downloaded in Step 1.
