This content applies solely to Government Source Selection, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. |
The Government Source Selection (GSS) solution is built on the Appian low-code platform and helps your organization monitor, track, and complete source selection tasks and actions associated with evaluating vendors.
This guide provides how-to instructions for installing the GSS solution, which consists of five main steps:
Before starting the installation process, review the System Requirements to make sure all minimum requirements are met.
To install GSS, download the software package that contains the following files you will use in the remaining setup steps.
To download the software package:
GSS Components v24.3.1.9.0.zip
to access the software installation files.For the GSS application to work, you must deploy the Appian Solutions
, Content Tools
, and Azure OpenAI Connected System
plug-ins. The steps for deploying plug-ins are different for an Appian Cloud or self-managed environment. Be sure to note which set of deployment steps you need for your environment.
To deploy the plug-ins for an Appian Cloud environment:
Appian Solutions
.Content Tools
Azure OpenAI Connected System
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 GSS application, you need to run a DDL script in your database.
To create the database objects in MariaDB:
Run the scripts/01.SourceSelectionv1.9.0.sql
DDL file that was downloaded in Step 1 in your database.
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.
To create the database objects in Oracle:
oracle-scripts/01.SourceSelection1.9.0.sql
DDL file that was downloaded in Step 1 in your database.The final step needed to install the GSS application is to import the application files into the target environment.
To import the application:
SourceSelectionv1.9.0.zip
file that was downloaded in Step 1.SourceSelectionv1.9.0.properties
file that was downloaded in Step 1.
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.
