 Symptoms Error packaging and exporting Diagnoses The package and deployment tool is a critical tool but it seems that there are few things wrong here in relation to the creation of packages. There is nothing wrong with our workflow definitions and they work fine but the package and deployment tool keeps failing to export with strange errors stating the following in correlation to the workflows.- Workflow ProjectWorkflow Name is referencing a property kdselected method type, unknown that cannot be found.This appears for a few of a workflows. Resolution A fix is available for this error upon request, please do contact K2 support.  

 Symptoms After upgradeing to 4.7, designer won't work Diagnoses After upgrading your engine from 4.6.11 to 4.7, the designer does not work.You get the following error stating:"Array cannot be null" Resolution This issue can be resolved by running a repair of both K2 Blackpearl and Smartforms from the installation media. It could be the case here that there were corrupted dlls during the upgrade from 4.6.11 to 4.7 which the repair tool has replaced or repaired. 

I'm trying to parse data out of a repeating section but when I store it into a collection, the collection is blank.1) The Mass Update columns are stored in a variable (inputXML)2) I use the Query XML {WorkflowVariable:inputXML} and use the XPath output (/RepeaterData/Items/Item) to store as a Collection variable called Collection Item-   At this point, I can save this variable to a list item and see the content, so good so far.3) I have a for each that takes the Target collection (Collection Item) and stores it into a Multiline Variable (MLOT_Item)-   Here is where it breaks. One of the fields in the repeating section is AssociateName. AssociateName shows up under the variable inputXML, but once the Collection Variable is collected and stores the Items into the MLOT, it's blank.I'm so confused why the collection variable wouldn't store the data? Anyway come across this issue?

 Symptoms K2 seems not integrated with Sharepoint, is requesting login again. Diagnoses The issue here is to do with logging into Sharepoint when wanting to use the K2 app. You get multiple log in attempts and would like to know what is the best possible way to get around this. Resolution This is expected behaviour as one login is windows authentication and the second is for K2 Oauth authentication, so you will need to do this only on the first time you login to sharepoint.

 Symptoms Cannot start K2 blackpearl service after upgrading from 4.6.11 to 4.7 Diagnoses After a automatic upgrade of blackpearl, it is not possible to start the K2 blackpearl service. Eventlog notifications are:1 An item with the same key has already been added.2001 Error Starting Host Server: An item with the same key has already been added. Resolution You can resolve by going into the hostserver.exe.config file and check to see if the smoservices was set to true. If this is the case, please do set this to false and please do a K2 service restart.This could have changed during the upgrade of K2 itself. The smo services will need to be configured.

Anyone encountered this before? Failed to retrieve form control for canvas. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. It appears when changing Single Line Textbox's 'Connected to' attribute. Though values are being set as what you have intended, error is a bit bothering during development.Error occur on a newly setup environment. The old development environment doesn't throw this error. The only difference is, the new one runs on SQL 2014 backend, while the old on 2012.I've tried re-installing, setting SQL DB roles (WSS_Content_Application_Pools), and probably all other fixes I can see in this forum and outside.Exact error is:Failed to retrieve form control for canvas.

All,I've a form variable which is connected to a SP column.I've a calculated value which is connected to the form variable.I've 2 panels. Each panel has a drop down with the same information (1 panel will be hidden depending on who you are).I'm playing with various formulas in the form variable I just can't get this syntax correct.Depending on which drop down you select I want the value of the form variable to update and be reflected in the calculated value. i.e.  if dropdown 2 is blank, but drop down 1 isn't show drop down 1's value and vice versa.I'm looking for a no code/no workflow solution ideally.Thanks

 Good afternoon,I've been having a problem with Nintex forms for some time that I can't solve on my own. My forms always render missing the right side boarder (see pic).I suspect the issue is in the CSS (below) but I don't know enough for me to determine if this is in fact the issue.

HiI am stuck. I am trying to create a new documentset, based on a list Element. For that I have created at workflow using the Create an element on another list action.The only thing not working is updating a person/group column with multiple entries allowed.I have read here that i am supposed to use this format -1;#domainxxx.By using a "Save to workflows history list" i have checked that the variable is set correct. But the workflow just ignores this column and leaves it blank, i have tried with typing just one person into the column - but it is still ignored.Any suggestions anyone?Thx.The two first are Regular expressions and configured as described in the article i have made a link to.The next two are Build String actions also configured as described in the article. The second last is just a "Save to history" action and finally the last action is a Create an item action.

 Symptoms After upgrading to K2 4.6.11 the following entry in the SmartForms Runtime web.config doesn't work anymore:This switch should enable support for the IE8 browser. Diagnoses It seems this functionality has been removed (again) in 4.6.11 since we are moving away from IE8. Resolution Since SharePoint 2010 is still supported in K2 4.6.11 and it's based on Document Mode = IE8, we have provided a coldfix for 4.6.11 that should enable the "LegacyBrowserSupport" key again in the web.configPlease log a support ticket for 4.6.11 and mention this internal ID: 602423 and 602424Please note IE8 and SharePoint 2010 support has been removed in K2 4.7 and above therefore no coldfix exists or will be created for that version.

Hi there,I have a weird problem: sometimes one of my workflows errors, but all the fields are 'green' when viewing the workflow history.I get this error: The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.My workflow in particular:I ended the workflow and started it again and then it worked without an error. On other items this error happens too but very rarely.I cannot find a mistake either.What my workflow does:1. Check if title= title of an item from another library with with ID xxxANDCheck if description= description of an item from another library with same ID xxx2. if one of them are not equal, update the item in the other library. (title and description).When the error occurs the workflow is going to step 2 even though the title and description are equal. When I start the workflow again the workflow does not try to update the item and no error occurs.Any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue in general

I want to get the Managers Display Name displayed in my Form. What I have tried so far. I created a variable “v_manager” with the Formula userProfileLookup(RequesterCtrl, "Manager") …RequsterCtrl is a PeoplePicker. Then I created a CalculatedValue “cv_manager” and applied the Formula userProfileLookup(v_manager, "PreferredName"). The result was nothing …no value will be displayed. What am I doing wrong? Tia!

Hi, Connect.  I am working on a project for a high-profile client in New York, NY using on-premises Nintex Workflow 2013 Enterprise, Nintex Forms 2013 Enterprise, and SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise.  The client is hosting their production SharePoint 2013 farm on-premises.  In the event of failure, they have a secondary, DR (disaster recovery) farm hosted in Microsoft Azure running on virtual machines.  The DR farm is a hot spare farm, meaning it is online 24/7 and maintained just as rigorously as the production farm.  In order to achieve automatic fail-over, the SharePoint content databases are replicated asynchronously from the AlwaysOn group on-prem to the AlwaysOn group in Microsoft Azure.  In Azure, the SharePoint content databases are read-only.  They only become writable in a fail-over scenario.  My client would like to achieve the same level of fail-over with the Nintex content databases.The main challenge here is to keep the Nintex content databases and SharePoint content da
