 Symptoms Intermittently when deploying using PandD there are failures with Error - The environment library is not connected Diagnoses The issue stems from the SAML tokens NotOnOrAfter condition that invalidates. Resolution We fixed this in a Isolated patch on top of Appit 1.5 Update 2 and will ship in Update 3 and Next Blackpearl CU 

 Symptoms When trying to generate smartforms (like the new, edit and display forms) on a previously appified list or library the following error is thrown:SmartObject propert K2_Int_SmartObjectSystemName is required property for selected method GenerateSmartFormsForSharePointList Value must be set. Diagnoses The issue here is some time back MS introduced changed in behavior with the New SP UI in the way they pass URLs meaning the added a / at the end and this causes miss matches on the category registered in K2. The original issue was that after you Appify a list using the New UI and you browse away and go back it?s like the list is not Appified due to this miss match.This is the same issue just in a different part of the stack. Resolution We provided an isolated patch for this on top of Appit 1.5 Update 2. This fix will be in the next Appit update and Blackpearl CU 

 Symptoms The default Oracle data types for holding files, such as images and documents, LOBs. How do these translate to K2. Diagnoses The BLOB data type is not supported in K2, as described in the following documentation:https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.6.9/webframe.html#The_K2_Oracle_Service.html Resolution CLOB, however, is still supported, though you should note that the characters within any document stored within a CLOB field must use the database character set exclusively.By default, the Oracle service broker defaults the CLOB data type to a memo field in K2. In order to change this, you will need to generate the Oracle SmartObject, then edit the SmartObject itself and change the type of your CLOB field to be an image/file/whatever you want it to be. This should unencode the file into whatever type you need it to be. 

Hello, I created document review workflow using Request review task with fixed end date 2 days.I deal with item permissions:1. Document have custom permissions before WF start (eg. Felix = read)2. I add new people / permissions via Request Review - Item permissions (eg. Felix = Edit)3. I need to remove these added persmissons aftew end of task (eg. Felix = read)The problem is, that i will completly remove permissions for Felix. Is it possible to somehow read item permissions before modification and set its "Original" state back at the end?Thank you,J.

Hi Nintex Community,I have a question about the use of Nintex Forms with a List Lookup Control and Powershell.Situation: The Form has a LLC that is connected to a text field. The control is connected to a list and filtered with a named control. This is working perfect. When I choose something from the dropdown, it is perfectly saved in the column. And I can filter on it with views, or group by or ... And the form looks good.I need now to migrate another list to this list. With PowerShell I map the correct columns. When I run the script, the text field is populated with the correct text. I can see the field in every view, and grouping/fitering  etc is also working.But...... when I open the form, the field is empty ( or in Edit Mode "Select a value").or When I change something else, and save, the field in the views in SP list is still correct with the value that was put in with PowerShell (so also the filtering).So this value is saved, probably in a hidden field?Question:   How can I fil

Hey Guys, in some of our Workflows we defined that Workflow tasks cannot be delegated. But, if a user setup to delegate all tasks in case of vacation, this tasks will be delegated. The Problem is, that the new task owner cannot delegate the task back. What can I do to prevent this? CheersDaniel

Hi All, I am new to Nintex . I have 3 sharepoint external data columns which i am connecting to a external database.My requirement is to show the external data columns in my Nintex form as dropdown list. Also I want to filter the dropdown lists according to parent selection.eg: I have 3 external data columns Department, Section, Services.When i select the department only sections under that department should be loaded in section dropdown.same in the case of services. when i select a section only those services which is under that section should be loaded.I tried to load the department external data column in nintex form but when i change the type of control from default to dropdown the data is not getting loaded.If its difficult to explain please give me some links from which i can understand the solution for this requirements.Thanks

 Symptoms  Which options are available for migrating live instances to newer process definition version?  Diagnoses  Normally you should design your process in such a way that LIM is not required. I.e. never embed literal values in a workflow. If an email address or destination assignment is entered literally, you are stuck. If instead, the value for either of these is loaded from an external configuration table, or role management mechanism (e.g. a settings table in a database), then the value is easily corrected. You will then need to use Process Instance Management to GOTO the activity fresh so it will instantiate again and then load the corrected value. Also noting prevents you to complete old versions and then deploy new one for use. Unless you have that hardcoded wrong value which prevent you from completing process instance on old definition.Community tools are not supported by K2 support. You can ask questions about them on Community and get responses there. From what I heard t

In my environment, all new project sites are created using a template which includes a list called "Project Details".  Once a project site is created, the "Project Details" list is populated with project-specific content.  This content (content type) is used throughout my environment by the Content Search Web Part.  It surfaces projects dynamically throughout the site based on what users choose to type in the various "Project Details" list. For example, if Human Resources is chosen as the Department on a specific project, then the Content Search Web Part on the Human Resources site will surface this project.  I am trying to automate the site building process.  I built a Nintex workflow titled "New Project Site Request" that automatically creates the new site and collects all the data needed for the "Project Details" list that will be on the new workflow-created site.  I cannot figure out how to write the workflow so that after it creates the site, it populates the "Project Details" lis

 Symptoms  K2 Workflows are no longer triggering on item added or Updated on an SP list.  Diagnoses  It was determined that this workflow was configured to start on both item added as well as item updated but without any start condition. It also makes use of an list item update event. When an item is added, it is added as the current user. This triggers the item added event listener, starts the workflow and the update list item event is executed as the K2 service account. The updating of the list item triggers the item updated event listener, and in turn start another process instance. The execution of the list item update event and the triggering of the item updated event receiver created a backlog of items in MSMQ. It appears in addition to the backlog in MSMQ, there was a process instance of this same workflow that was in a constant running state.  Resolution To resolve the issue, the K2 blackpearl service was stopped, MSMQ was purged, and the K2 blackpearl service started back up.

Basically, I want to write one workflow to cover both situations. I; however, want to change some wording based on whether the workflow is coming from a create or a modification.I don't want to stick another column in the list called "new item" and update it.I think there's a way to do this--but I can't find it.

I'm able to successfully call the UserGroup.asmx, but I'm stuck on how to get the users manager from the userLoginName. Is there a listing of the properties that I can access from the web service call?  

Hi, I'm having some difficulties with Nintex. I created a list in SharePoint, that contains two fields: Department (which is a simple text) and Name (which is a person or group). What i want to do, is get the e-mail of some people from a certain department. So this is what i did:1 - I created a Querry List block, so I can get employees of a particular department. I also select only the column "Name" from the list, and since it is a "person or group" I select the property "work email". This, is returned to a collection variable (but there will always be only one result that match my search, so the collection has only one item).2 - The next step, is a "Get Item from Collection", and this seems to be the problem. The Target Collection field at the "Get Item from Collection"  is defined as my collection, obtained at step 1. Since it has only 1 value, its index has value 0. The "output" is a variable of type person or group. So considering this works, the next step should be really easy.3 -

 Symptoms I am trying to use the 4.6.11 SharePoint 2013 - List Item Events wizards when I try and configure any of these wizards I cannot see the lists that are defined in the site. See the attached screenshot. This applies to all eventsThings I have checked ried:? SmartObjects have been created against the list.? The user I am logged in as is a Site Collection Admin.? Used both K2 Studio and K2 for Visual Studio? Run K2 Studio as Admin and as the local user.? Confirmed that allow this SmO to be used in workflow for this List/Library is selected? Tried Site and all of its subsites Diagnoses We think somehow the smartobjects from the library were broken hence the events on the workflow were not able to read the smartobjects from the list and library. Resolution We recreated the smartobjects on the list andlibrary and this resolved the issue  

Hello Experts,I have a scenario for our business and was wondering of the best way this can be achieved via Nintex.1] A workflow needs to be created in which the users needs to be able to select the users to whom the flexitask needs to be sent to. As its a dynamic selection of people, how can this be achieved using Initiation form? Further these list of people needs to be limited to a particular sharePoint group.I.e The user before starting the workflow needs to have the ability to select the people(multi selection) it needs the task to be sent to (approver) and this list of people should come from a specific group(this group can be dynamically determined either by reading a list or to through some user string search).Please could someone advice?Thanks in advance.Regards,Shrini

I have 2 lists on the same page: 1 active work list, 1 Archive listList 1 has multiple field and lookups, list 2 is plain text only.In the end of list one is a field that will be manually checked if the process for that line has been closed.This field should trigger an action that the item will be moved to the archive part. (I tried copy and delete)So, I used the "wait for item update" option and indicated that value "Yes" should trigger the action.I tried to test first by copying the line to the Archive list but not able to succeed. Can someone help me how I can resolve this?

Hi all,We did an SharePoint upgrade from 2010 to 2013. Additionally we moved our SP webapplication which includes a recruitng workflow and of course we use NINTEX WF 2013.Now all the moves are made successfully.Everything seams to be there which we had before,No Errors when we moved BUT...Now I get always emails that workflow errored (not all wf's but some):The WF has ended unexpectedly...... . .When I start a new WF, there is no error message (first). But the following tasks obviously don't go out....Something I forgot here I guess, but I don't know where to search.What could I try?

When I click on workflow I receive always a error message (see below). Does anybody know this issue?Thanks in advance!Timestamp                  Process                                     TID       Area                              Category                          EventID    Level         Message     Correlation09/26/2016 07:54:04.50     w3wp.exe (WEBF2:0x1650)               0x391C    SharePoint Foundation             Logging Correlation Data          xmnv    Medium    Name=Request (GET:https://URL:443/sites/wf/binotification/_layouts/15/Workflow.aspx?ID=18&List=%7BB231EAAC-E5CE-4B93-8A9F-74D09308E412%7D&Source=https%3A%2F%2Fspecial%2Erhi%2Elocal%2Fsites%2Fwf%2Fbinotification%2FSitePages%2FHome%2Easpx)    b873a79d-6aa5-a046-7f76-09241bf7f20d09/26/2016 07:54:04.50     w3wp.exe (WEBF2:0x1650)               0x391C    SharePoint Foundation             Authentication Authorization      agb9s    Medium    Non-OAuth request.
