 Symptoms I need to reduce K2 log file. From past experience I remember this process.Even though the below is a SQL command I am performing this on a K2 system database, therefore it is important that you verify. Also we want to preserve historical data, so does the below command affect historical data [yes/no]? If not where does the historical data reside?USE [master]GOALTER DATABASE[K2] SET RECOVERY SIMPLE WITH NO_WAITGOUSE [K2]GODBCC SHRINKFILE ('FG_log_1')GOALTER DATABASE K2 SET RECOVERY FULLGO Diagnoses I would like to confirm you that shrinking transaction log per command that you mentioned will not affect "historical/archived" records.You may also need to consider truncating as well. Please see the following:Database Truncation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189085(v=sql.105).aspx* Full Recovery Model: truncation happens during transaction log database backup* Truncation does not reduce the size of a physical log file.

Question. We are using Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2016 on premise.I have two calendars:     Calendar 1 – the original calendar     Calendar 2 – the archive calendar. This calendar was created using a template (no date) of Calendar 1I am trying to build a workflow that will copy a calendar entry from one calendar to another.Once the entry is copied, I have a Delete task to delete the entries copied. I am getting the following error message when the workflow tries to copy the items:The workflow could not copy the item. Make sure the source and destination lists have the same columns and column settings.Any suggestions on how to get past this are greatly appreciated as I am new to managing SharePoint front end and Nintex workflow.Additional mention: user has full control to both lists, site and site collection.Thank youKrysta

This is an update of the "process instance version migration utility" originally created by NeilM and subsequently modified by Jacob Behrnes and Steve H.The version 3.0.4 contains the following changes:-Check if Data Fields are compatible between the 2 versions before the migration. If a version is used in the filter, the drop down list of destination version is filtered on only the compatible one.-Allow if all Data Fields are in the same order and same type but with new Data Fields before/after/between.-When a Data Field issue is found, display the details of Data Field per version.-Add check-box to check status of Data Fields during initial display of process instances.-During migration, check Data Field status (Error or not) before and after if the check-box is ticked.-You can use keyboard to tick the current selected process instance: Space button for tick check-box. Your selection can be in any columns.-After select rows (very first small column) you can use the new button "Toggle

 Symptoms  Sometimes it may be necessary for you to increase maximum allowed attachment size for K2 SmartForms. There is a section in K2 Appit documentation which covers File Attachment Control settings and limit configuration thoroughly: K2 Appit http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2appit/userguide/current/default.htm#sf-viewcontrols-fileattachmentwithprogress.html But K2 Appit has slight differences with on-prem K2, and in this specific case, for example, you won't be able to find Allowed Type and Max Size properties exposed in design time control properties in on-prem version of K2 SmartForms. And there is no similar documentation section for K2 SmartForms on-prem.  Diagnoses  This limit can be increased on the K2 SmartForms Runtime site level by means of editing runtime web.config file. There are 2 relevant settings which have to be increased. These settings work in combination and one which set to smaller value takes precedence.   1) maxRequestLength This setting should present by defa

I took over as admin of my department's SharePoint 2016 site at the beginning of the year. I edited a site workflow to add a few more individuals to the notification email that goes out. Up until that point, the workflow ran as scheduled. Ever since I made that edit, the workflow cancels and errors out. I get two notification emails. One states that the workflow was canceled by System Account and a 2nd email states that the workflow errored, "Failed to start". To test this, I built a workflow that just sends a notification email to me. There are no other parameters in the workflow. If I run it manually, the notification goes out. But if I schedule it, I get the two emails I specified above. I had one of my peers do the same thing and get the exact same results.   Is it possible there are permissions somewhere specifically affecting the ability to have scheduled workflows run? I've googled this and find a few results but they all link to a "fix" articel from a few years ago with instruc

On my form, I have a drop down list with five various vehicle types. Based on what is selected, I want to create another drop down that will provide the models that could be selected. For example, if one selected Auto, the drop down would display Compact, Sedan, Hybrid. But if selected Truck, the drop down would display Standard Cab, Extend Cab, etc. and not the Auto selections. This second drop down should be able to display the selections from the first answer, thus always changing based on what is answered in the first drop down. I was thinking this could be completed within the workflow settings, but not sure. Still new to Nintex.

Hello,I want to encourage our users to use SharePoint lists instead of Excel, so far there are almost only advantages.But the users need to enter amounts for accruals for every month. In Excel they have a column for every month, so when they enter the amount for dezember they are able to have a look at the last 11 month what amounts they entered. This is what they need in a nintex formular. So my form does show some columns they have to enter first (cost center, type of costs, profit center, ...) and then I am displaying the current list they are working on under the form (using the "list lookup"-action in Nintex forms). I want the list to be automatically filtered by one or more of the values the users entered before (cost center --> lookup value; type of costs --> lookup value).The "list lookup"-action shows me an error when connecting to the lookup values (for instance cost center). I can filter the list by a text value or with CAML, but this is static, I want the list to be d

Hi, I have this problem that the Transaction Log for the Database K2 is growing at an exceptional rate. Once installed and my workflow is uploaded. Within 10 minutes the Log's size has already suppassed the DB's size. And within a few days time, it grows to an astonishing 6GB size while the DB's size is still at a mere 20MB. Can someone tell me whats wrong here? Does escalation rules that has timing set to minutes affect this?

I am trying to add list item attachments to a flexi-task in a workflow and am not having success.  I have followed the instructions found on both Vadim's blog, https://community.nintex.com/message/11781?sr=search&searchId=8f40e619-22f1-4be1-b2a2-5c8ab1890e37&searchIndex=1#11781 , and https://community.nintex.com/message/14770?sr=search&searchId=8f40e619-22f1-4be1-b2a2-5c8ab1890e37&searchIndex=3#14770 .  Nothing is working. What am I doing wrong? Why are the list item attachments lost when using Nintex forms on flexi-tasks?  Thanks in advance for all help and responses.

I’ve run into a bit of an issue with the people picker on a form.  In our organization we have multiple user domains in active directory.  The domains that the people picker queries can only be configured at a web application level and as such it has been setup to query all the domains.  I now have a form with a few people fields on it and I want to restrict those fields to only query users in one specific domain and haven’t had much luck.  I’ve tried the following with no success:Modify the peoplepicker-searchadforests property using stsadm but this can only be configured at a web application level which won’t work as I don’t want to create a second web app just for managing this type of form field.Filtering the People or Group field on the list by specifying a SharePoint group. This can’t be done because I want all domain users for one specific domain.  I did try adding All Domain users to a SharePoint group and assigning that as the SharePoint Group for the field but it doesn’t work

Hi,We keep getting the error "Error - Cannot use Nintex Forms for content type : Item" when I try to open the nintex in design mode. Nitex forms used to load fine all these days but starting today we see the error. no changes were made at the site level.Due to this I am unable to edit list forms using nintex.

Hello, a quick question, have any of you installed a K2 environment yourselves? If so: how many hours should I plan for the actual installation/configuration knowing that it will be my first K2 installation and it is a simple DEV environment (so we wouldn't need a high number of servers)? This is without setting up the server infrastructure (we already have the servers up and running).

This post is a “how to” tutorial, showing how  can a data from SQL Server table be loaded into a “Repeating section” control in Nintex Forms. Needless to say, having that data inside the control allows then to manipulate it and treat each row as a single record, thanks to the possibility of saving contents of the control as XML. The solution I created was a bit more advanced than just importing data from SQL into repeating section, as it was allowing to make bulk edit/ delete operations on the loaded data. This tutorial however shows just the loading part.General assumptionsThe solution works in the following way:The form has a “SQL request” control, that on form load gets all the data from a specific table. Data is returned in XML format. Inside a form there is a repeating section with several fields defined. The script, once triggered, parses the XML from the “SQL request” control and for each row it populates data to defined fields inside the repeating section. After a row is done,

Hello everyone, I had a problem with the sharepoint form, I want to get the username by userProfileLookup and I used this function userProfileLookup(Current User,"PreferredName")and it returned #Value what is the problem?

Hello, I'm wondering if this is even possible.  I built a form for customers to request work for their projects. My plan is for each project to have it's own form.  If a customer comes back for more work down the line, they just need to input a new request, not all the specific data related to their project.  The request section of the form is a repeating section.  This will allow us to track all the requests a specific project team has input over time.  The repeating section collects some data which includes a "Status" dropdown field that has values of Submitted, Development, Testing, Complete.  What I would like to know is if the repeating section row has a value of "Complete" for the Status field, can I hide those rows so that only ones that are active are showing? Thanks, John

Hi Folks, I have a form and a reset button in one of the sections. The button should clear a Checkbox, a text field, a date field, and a multi-line text field. This workd fine for me currently with the code below as the MLT control is connected to a "Multiple lines of text" list column set as "Plain Text". function resetCancellation() { NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancelCheck_CHK).attr('checked',false); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationComments_MLT).val(""); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationDate_DTE).val(""); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationSignature_TXT).val(""); } This solution is adequate for me at the moment but what if I wanted to set the Multiple lines of text" list column to "Rich Text" or "Enhanced Rich Text"? The javascript above does not work for that configuration. I saw some info 5that seemed related here but could not seem to understand how to make it work for the button click scenario. Does anyone have any advice on how one would change my function to clear the MLT connected to Rich Text

The K2 smartforms Full Calendar Control provides a full size , drag & drop calendar which can use any K2 SmartObject which has a start and end date as a data source. It features 3 views: a Month View, a Week View and a Day View. It also supports multiple data sources for displaying events from various different sources.

I am attempting to add/delete users to a role using the SourceCode.Security.UserRoleManager.Management API.  Does anyone have a code snippet on how to do this. I am creating the Role object but the only add method I see is LoadData and that apears to be for the entire role and not just one member.

Hi,We plan to fill values from workflow variables into an existing Word form. There are many checkboxes where we want to assign boolean values. Unfortunately the checkbox is always replaced by the boolean value text (true/false) instead of being checked or unchecked.Is there a type of conversion to preserve our checkbox controls in the Word template?ThanksRoman
