I have a need to allow users to capture some information into AD such as their first and last name, mobile number, etc. That in itself is not an issue and is straighforward. What I am attempting to do is to allow the user to update their login name. The users were all assigned random numbers as logon names and now the business wish to change this by presenting a form for the user to fill out.In the workflow I have tried adding the sAMAccountName to the 'Other' field in 'Update AD' action, however the workflow fails with:Error updating Active Directory account. Failed to set property 'sAMAccountName'.Is there a way for me to allow this to work so the login names can be updated?

Hello, we created a support request automation service with Nintex workflows and we are sending emails through the "Send Notification" action to our company's providers using the default sharepoint smtp address (notifications@company.com) but with the "From" field is configured as (support@company.com). The problem here is that some of our providers use an automated services to reply our emails and their service doesn't reply to the "From" field address (support@company.com) instead they reply to the original sender (notifications@company.com) and this is giving us problem because our support area doesn't get the answer from the provider system.Is there a way to send the email from an address different from the SharePoint's default smtp address (notifications@company.com) instead of using the reply-to address ("From" field in Nintex's Send Notification action)? Possibly sending the email through a web service instead of nintex's "Send Notification" action.. I am not a developer so I do

 Symptoms Dear Support,We are facing an issue whereby K2 is not able to send email to any of the participants for all of the processes. Please find attached K2 host server logs and event viewer logs.For your information the K2 user email box recently migrated to office 365 but the email address remain same.Please advise.Regards, Diagnoses We applied debug assemblies then reapplied the backed up ddls after doing a k2 service restart. issue was resolved. Resolution The respected customer closed the ticket with the following note:"This issue is resolved! and all of the emails are now going through."We applied the debug assemblies and removed them later 

Our current NINTEX infrastructure which is based on top of our SharePoint installation is as follows:1. One Application Server2. One WFE Server3. One Database ServerWe are in the process of optimizing our servers where in we will be removing the the WFE server, such that there is only one server acting as both WFE and Application.We will then be installing NINTEX Workflow 2010 on this optimized server. The queries that I have regarding this are as follows:1. What should be the minimum hardware requirement for the NINTEX workflows to run smoothly2. Will the hardware requirement specified for SharePoint be sufficient to handle the NINTEX workflows

My goal is to insert some list items in a second BCS list. When I try to do a create item and just use static values it writes into the BCS list with no errors. As well I can create another workflow that queries the first list and puts IDs in a collection variable, which I then run through a for each. So when I just send each of those list item's values to myself in a email it works great. But when I try to combine these two I get errors every time. The error I get is:  The workflow could not create the item in the external data source. Make sure the user has permissions to access the external data source and create items.

 Symptoms  After upgrading to Blackpearl 4.7 the following error  message is displayed when trying to deploy K2 package:   'Unsupported schema version 15 - version 14 or earlier is supported. Please update to the latest version. Parameter name: xml'  Error message screenshot:      Diagnoses  The issue can happen when the K2 package was originally created in a 4.7 environment with additional fixes (i.e. Cumulative Updates and Fix Packs). In this case K2 Package and Deployment tool will see a mismatch in assemblies when deploying to a 4.7 environment without those fixes.  To verify whether additional fixes such as cumulative Feb update or fix packs (i.e. FP1 or FP2) have been applied to a K2 environment in 4.7, you can check the history of applied fixes in HostServer.UpdateHistory table (table added starting from blackpearl version 4.7). When a fix is applied in the environment, the UpdateHistory table will be created.  Resolution Apply the same fix(es) to both environments to resolve th

 Symptoms  We are trying to access the "List" method of the SmartObject "Activity Instance Destination" and are filtering with some process names. This is giving us the desired result but the performance is very slow. It is taking about a minute to fetch the results. Is there any way to improve the performance of this call?  Diagnoses  1. Using input parameters or filters when you get the list results back means that you will have to get the entire result set back and filter accordingly before seeing the results, this will take a lot of time. A suggestion is to apply directed input when calling List method.   2. Another suggestion is to rebuild the indexes on K2 databases. Please see the "Rebuilding Indexes" section for this KB on unconsolidated dbs: http://help.k2.com/en/kb001281.aspx. For consolidated database (single K2 database), it uses the Utility.Maintain_IndexDefrag sproc that is available per database. If you edit this sproc, it will have details regarding its implementation a

I need to create individual tasks to each user from an AD Group. 1. Create an item in Task List2. Assign that tasks to an AD Group with 10 members3. Run a workflow action that creates an individual task for each of the 10 members in that group.

 Symptoms  There is a user who can see everyone's worklist items, as opposed to just her worklist items that have been assigned to here, in her K2 Worklist. I have verified in K2 Workspace that she is not a destination for any of the tasks but she is still able to see in every task including the ones that are not assigned to her.  Diagnoses  This can happen if the user is allowing to approve on behalf or other users are set OOF to this user. 1. Check if the user is allowing to approve client event on behalf of the other user at the process level. See image link: http://www.screencast.com/t/22L5CkSR 2. Check if there are any out-of-office settings for the user (i.e. K2 Workspace > Management > Users > Out of Office)  3. Navigate to Action Rights under Users in K2workspace > Management and search for user. Results should show all the processes that user has rights to action the task. http://www.screencast.com/t/dOmqooR0  Resolution Turn off OOF resolved the issue.   

I have a request for a document review process.  Requirements:Task will be assigned to a group of people and all must respond.They want to see two choices as outcomes:1. Approve2. Approval Authority not requiredI have tried using the Flexi-task but it does not have an option for all must respond.  I selected all must agree, but that seems to complete the workflow when majority has responded!.  Also tried using a review task action, but there is no way to add outcomes.Which task action should I use? (It seems that there are many task actions, but not one that has the two requirements that I need.)We have Nintex WF and Forms 2013 and SharePoint 2013 EnterpriseThanks,Rene

Hello all, i'm currently working with Nintex Mobile Forms. I am creating Leave Request Form and there's many leave type that must have a supporting document to fulfill the requirements. If users don't attach some file, the workflow will reject the request.Here's my story.. When i submit the request with an attachment from Nintex Mobile Forms using Android Phone, it will trigger the workflow to run. And i already add condition to check whether attachment exists or not. But nintex workflows keeps telling me from log in history list that attachment does not exists (even i already give an attachment). I also already tried checking from web services (Web_URL_vti_binlist.asmx), and the result still same.Then i tried, get value from Item Properties attachment.. and the result return false (still same).Anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue?

I'm implementing a workflow that includes a lot of stakeholders to review material in each phase of the workflow and simply sign off or check to say that they have reviewed and the workflow needs to capture the date they reviewed. I need to have a form or a sheet (read only, that will only be updated by the workflow) that displays a list of all reviewers and the dates for each of them. This can include close to a 100 reviewers or stakeholders. What do your think is the most effective way to achieve this? The users wouldn't go into the task list to see who approved/rejected but it is mainly a communication process which needs one sheet that any of them can print that lists who viewed the info. I have 4 big communication processes that I will be implementing and was wondering before I dig into it if any of you have a recommendation on an optimal way to achieve it. 

Hi!!!How can I hide the panel Edit in my nintex form?I just want to use the bottom save....Plisss someone!!! knows!!!

 Symptoms When trying to deploy a Workflow that has SharePoint Integration and starts when Item is Added we receive and Access Denied error. Diagnoses This is usually associated with missing List Permissions or similar. However, we ended up finding out that the Smartobject's scope was not set to List/Libraries, and would not be able to be used in a workflow. This caused the Access Denied issue. Resolution Issue resolved by changing the scope of the Smartobject from None to List/Library in the K2 Settings > Smartobject form. 

K2 Connect supports not only K2 SSO but also SAP SSO.  In order to use SAP SSO you must first obtain a SAP logon token from their portal.  When you  enable K2 Connect for SAP SSO a new parameter is added to Connect ServiceObjects to input this token.  This project is an example of a custom service broker (with source code) that can be used to obtain the SAP login token.  This example may require modification for use in your environment.This example was uploaded on behalf of the original authors who graciously agreed to share it with the K2 community. 

Hi Guys,I need some of your ideas, Currently I got a process to save a lot of pdf documents in my local pc to find information in the future, would be possible save for example 5 or 10 documents to my sharepoint library from the explorer view and merge them to create a master and then start the nintex workflow for approval?Thank you.

A recent triumph (For me anyhow!) enabled me to use a Nintex form to add extra details into a list via a flexi task.When building the form i was able to see "list columns" in the form designer page like this:I am doing a completely new form but list columns is missing from my page so i cannot add in what i need to:Any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?Pete

 Symptoms  K2 host server stops unexpectedly at random time without any very clear pattern.  Diagnoses  In case you see the following exception in Event Viewer logs / or crash dump which originates from System_Transactions_ni!System.Transactions.TransactionScope.Dispose():   Entry point clr!Thread::intermediateThreadProc   This exception usually occurs when there is a call to some SmO which returns number of records higher than default buffer records setting for K2 host service (20,000). Service crash in this scenario related with use of TransactionScopes which we no longer use in 4.7. There are two possible solutions for this issue:   1) Increase buffer records value so that it can accommodate large set returned by SmO. Downside of using this workaround is that K2 host server will have to use more memory during huge SmO calls (specific number depends on how many columns and of which data type are returned by SmO) and essentially you don't know when you have to increase it again.   2)

 Symptoms How to remove SmartForms integration from workflow? Diagnoses There is no OOB functionality in the current versions of our product which allows to remove SmartForms integration from workflow (added via SF Client Event or Process Wizard called SFs Integration). There is an existing FR for this functionality (internal ID 40574):Enhancement request ? Ability to remove Integration from workflow to reuse the WF (SPWFI, InfoPath, SP Events Integration and SmartForms Integration).When you integrate your workflows with forms via SF Client Event or Process Wizard called SFs Integration you can think of it as "tight-coupling" approach which is less flexible, and for better flexibility you may consider setting up this integration via Default Client Event (loose-coupling). Resolution There is no OOB options to delete such integration workaround is to create new process and paste activities/events/lines from old integrated process into new one without SmartForms integration. 

Inside a Sharepoint 2013 Document Library, I created a workflow that updates some columns only when same others change:The workflow is correctly triggered when the first two conditions are true, but it's never fired when the third is true.I've also tried all the three 'Name' fields available: same result.I've also tried the third condition only: same result.Where did I go wrong?Thanks.Stefano

I have List A that allows multiple ID's to be selected via a lookup field souced in List B. The ID's display as 23;24;25.  Since I need to isolate these ID's so I can later update List B with some data from List A what would be the best course of action to isolate the ID's.  Once I have the ID's isolated my plan was to do a For Each on the ID and update List B via Query List.I know I need to do a regular expression to split, but I am not sure how...My flow would beRegular ExpressionCollection ?For Each Query List
