Symptoms
We are attempting to deploy a K2 Connect service object to a new environment (Staging) for the first time from dev environment. We receive an error: "K2 blackpearl Server and K2 connect Server names are not the same". However, after clicking 'OK' on the error, the 'K2 blackpearl Settings' windows displays and you can see that it is pointing to correct staging. But, there is a message 'Valid K2 connect Server information not found'.
Diagnoses
The Dev environment didn't have direct access to Staging connect environment.
Resolution
Issue was resolved per following steps:
-Copy the .svd file to staging server.
-Add the .svd using the Add Service Object option from K2 connect Administration Tools.
-Refresh the Service Instance from the K2 connection Admin tool.
