 Symptoms  We are going to change our email from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange Online and have to test on our Dev Environment first. When we rerun the K2 blackpearl Setup Manager, we encounter the problem with Exchange Server Configuration, we set the "Configure Exchange Online", input the Email address and Password and EWS URL, the mailbox can be accessed through O365 email web.  Diagnoses  The client also tried testing the EWS URL through "https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx", it showed the error "The EWS URL could not be validated"  Resolution The issue was resolved through using the below workaround: 1. Proceed with installation when K2 Setup Manager prompted that the EWS URL cannot be validated. 2. Once done, go to [Program Files]K2 blackpearlHost ServerBin, and open ConnectionStringEditor.exe 3. Select your Exchange connection string, and change Autodiscover to False 4. Create a simple workflow and test.   

Hi GuysHas anyone seen this issue where workflows that were working before and they would normally fire request approval task to managers depending on the user. There is different workflow which gets the user and write it in a person field in the list and the main workflow uses that person field to send the approval.We did an upgrade to a latest version of Nintex this weekend and also installed Hawkeye for the first time. Now all my workflows for this specific sites runs okay until they have to assign a task to a person and they throw the following error"Error in request approval action. Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user "c:0+.c|ad|s-1-5-21-253889961-874910234-3503254501-15666".What's confusing is all other sites are working, this issue is in just 1 site collection. Has anyone see this?Thanking you in advance.RegardsBhuti Mbele

I have a user has Edit permission only.When user try to create the workflow, it will show "urlOfFile Parameter name".After I try to save few times, it will show "Access is denied".When user try to update the workflow, it will show "Access is denied".

Hello community, I'm new in nintex, I have a workflow (W1) with an approval process that creates "n" task in the workflow task list. We need to create another workflow in the workflow task list so when a task is created by W1 a new workflow (W2) is executed on create item in the task list.Is there any issues with that approach? It is a bad/good practice? Locked tasks and related issues can appear? Can this approach affect the performance (a lot of task will be created)? the task form list get slower because of the workflow?Thank you very much.

Hey guys,I seem to be experiencing something strange with a people picker control:If I disable a panel using NWF$('.form2 *').prop('disabled', true);and that panel contains a people picker, then the control is disabled correctly BUT the mouse hover still works (which is acceptable).The problem is, however, even though the popup is rendered correctly, it does not close and remains attached to the mouse cursor!The easiest solution should be to just disable the mouse hover programmatically in the people picker, either only on the disabled people pickers, or on ALL people pickers in general! (this is also an acceptable solution).I tried to use .unbind('mouseenter mouseleave'), but with no success... Any ideas?

I have two web apps running on the same box / domain. Each of them uses ADFS authentication however they have also been extended to include windows authentication running on port 8443. As far as I can tell, both are set up exactly the same way. In web app 1 we quickly realised that web service calls had to be made via the :8443 windows auth URL. No problems there. All is good. Web service calls execute just fine. However, web service calls attempted via the Call a Web Service action in web app 2 behave strangely. Firstly I can browse to the web service definition without issue: e.g. https://WEBURL2:8443/_vti_bin/lists.asmx pulls up the list of methods Attempting to pull up the list of methods in the call a webservice action always gives an unauthorised error (my credential - both ADFS and domainaccountname - is site collection admin) One strange thing I have noticed that may be a red herring, when I navigate to an imported web service call that already contains the method etc. and use

 Symptoms Issue #1"Inconsistency detected on Smartobject K2 Application. Service Instance 'financetest.arlaintra.net' not found..."Issue #2 - Duplicate group provider Diagnoses Dyagnosis #1I've looked into the SmartBroker.SmartObject table and filtered all SMOs where the systemname referred to "financetest_arlaintra_net".By doing so I've seen that there were duplicates of the management SMOs. I've also confirmed in the SMO Tester tool.I went ahead and removed all these objects from the SmartBroker.Smartobject table and reran the Registration wizard on the site and this time we actually got 1 step further, but still the very last step of the registration threw us an error that a group provider with the same name has already been registered.Dyagnosis #1I've looked into the HostServer.GroupProvider and indeed I've found the entry that caused the error. I've verified the URL from the init column and it turned out that the site no longer exists, it has already been deleted. The customer als

 Symptoms When a user has special characters in his/her password, like an umlaut (like "?", or "?"), password caching and SSO fails with the attached error (different codepages). The cause seems to be that SAP uses codepage 1100 (ISO-8859-1), but K2 Connect uses codepage 4103 (UTF-16 little endian).SAP has a logon parameter CODEPAGE, which can be specified in the connection (See https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/a2716ae67b2e78e10000000a155369/frameset.htm).Please let us know what is the correct way to fix this issue. We suppose that we need to add the codepage parameter in the destination configuration, but we want to make sure this is really correct. Diagnoses The issue has been logged as a bug in 4.6.11 and was associated with the following TFS items:686519 - SSO/Login special character password issue on different encoding/codepages - CONVERSION_FAILURE697862 - SSO/Login special character password issue on different encoding/codepages - CONVERSION_FAILUREA codefix ha

Morning allSo I have a ridiculous requirement whereby I have to copy items from ListA to ListB if a condition is met in ListA.  i.e. if new item added to ListA with status of Live then copy to ListB.  ListB looks exactly the same as ListA but has an additional column called ListAID.So when the workflow runs I need to work out if the item from ListA already exists in ListB.  Fine, happy with that, I query ListB filter by where ListAID = Item Property: ID and store the output in a list item variable vIDListBItem.So now I need to know if vIDListBItem has a value.  I choose set a condition and configure as follows:If any value equals valueWorkflow Data:  vIDListBItem{here is the problem}The only comparisons I have are "equals" and "not equals".  I would like to say is not empty.  But that is not possible. Now I have a few ways in my head I can get around this, but I would rather not do them as I think I am over complicating it.  Can someone please tell me an easy way to do this...?  ‌ you
