 Symptoms Archive Log Extension displays the wrong date wrong date Diagnoses When you use the OOTB archive extension to log HostServer logs to the K2 database, if the K2 Server/SQL server localization is set to United Kingdom, K2 logs the dates incorrectly - not only the format but actually incorrect - the day gets logged as the month and vice-versa. I have tested on 4.6.11 and 4.7. This causes a problem as when the day is higher than the 12th, K2 stops logging the logs to the SQL table as there is no month 13 in the calendar.Steps to repro:1- Have a K2 server/SQL Server in United Kingdom localization/date2- Enable Archive Extension through hostserverlogging.config3- Check on the Database Resolution This issue has been confirmed as a bug and the issue will be resolved in a future k2 release.Â
Hi,Question: I want to create a workflow which calculate the next Monday no matter when the workflow is started.I do have now a scheduled workflow which starts at Thursday, then it's easy to calculate the next Monday (add 4 days to the date when the workflow is started)But now I would like to build a workflow in case the user wants to start the workflow manually.E.g. the user starts the workflow this week on Wednesday but the next week on Tuesday...Anyone ideas how I can solve this?We are using Nintex Workflow 2013 on premise

Hi All,Is there any OOB smart object which can help me see the all worklist item assign to employee so that Manager can able to see worklist item assign to their employee.I dont want Manager to be part of Destination.  Thanks in advance.
Hi there.  This has been a problem that I've been spending a lot of time trying to solve and have had no luck. The standard worklist is not cutting it for me. In order to get visibility on all the different types of work going through our Blackpearl solution, we need to be able to include some data points in the smart object(s). After much effort, we got the "Worklist Service Broker" to function properly. Woo hoo! It seemed to be the answer to all our issues.  The problem we face now, though, is that we need to be able to have folks in certain roles (supervisor, team lead, etc.) be able to see ALL the worklist items and be able to re-direct them as appropriate. We move work around in bulk (30-40 items at a time) frequently. That said, from what I'm able to see with the worklist service broker, one can only see the worklist of items assigned to you. I tried to work around it by using both a Role and a User as a destination rule in the workflow, and that works up until the time work

We are using Nintex 2013 Workflow Standard on SP 2013 Enterprise. We have been getting loads of errors logged in our ULS for a missing dependency on the RTC.Client.Psom. Below is an example:Load Workflow Assembly: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Rtc.Client.Psom.ApplicationCore, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.We do not use Lync or office live so I'm wondering if there is a dependency within the Nintex workflow code that would be looking for this? If there is a better place on this forum to post please tell.Thanks!
HiI have a list with three columns: "Impact","Likelihood","Risk". I also have a form where the users select the impact and likelihood and the form should then calculate the risk (based on this list).I am trying to use the form runtime function lookup() , but this can only filter on 1 column, so I was thinking of nesting this somehow. I can not find how to do that, though, as the input only allows a single value. Would anybody know how to do this?Thanks
 Symptoms When deploying a workflow to out SP online site, we are seeing the following error...Value cannot be null. Parameter name: field at SourceCode.Workflow.Design.ArtifactLibraryFieldPart..ctor(EnvironmentField field) at SourceCode.Workflow.Design.Mail.MailEventItem.PrepareConfigurationForBuild() at SourceCode.Workflow.Authoring.Design.Serialization.ExecutableItemCodeGenerator.ExtenderCodeGenerator.Generate(CodeTypeDeclarationCollection types, GenerationOptions options) at SourceCode.Workflow.Authoring.Design.Serialization.ProcessCodeGenerator.Generate(GenerationOptions options) at SourceCode.Workflow.Authoring.Process.Compile() at SourceCode.DeploymentTasks.Compiler.WorkflowCompiler.Execute() Diagnoses This is a know bug in the 4.6.9 codebase. Resolution We sent the client an existing code fix and applied it to their environment.

 Symptoms After creating and deploying a package from the source environment to the target environment, the workflow does not seem to be able to find a smartobject that was used in a client step, as a destination. Diagnoses After looking at the GUID in the error, we noticed that the workflow (In the target environment) was still pointing to the smartobject in the source environment. It seems as if 4.6.9 (With PandampD rollup 3) does not refactor the smartobject GUID on process level. Resolution We saved the process in the target environment to disk as a WKPRX. We opened the WKPRX in notepad++ and searched for the smartobject GUID in the error message. (The GUID for the smartobject in the source environment) We found several instances and did a "find and replace" finding the "source GUID" and replaced it with the "target GUID". We opened the updated WKPRX in the designer, deployed the process, and it was working as expected after that.(For tracking purposes, I have created a bug for thi
 Symptoms We use the smartobject services to expose smo's as webservice endpoints. Because this is hosted in the public domain we would like to disable the /SmartObjectServices/endpoints/endpoints.xml. This file is hosted without any security and exposes a lot of information on the available endpoints. We already disabled the metadata with the EnableMetada=false property on the configuration, but that is just the metadata of the endpoints itself. Diagnoses The client wanted the the ability to hide sensitive data on the endpoints webservice because it exposes a lot of sensitive data and information.I don?t think there is a setting to have the endpoints.xml file (ie http://dlx.denallix.com:8889/SmartObjectServices/endpoints/endpoints.xml) to be blocked or not available while SmartObejctServices (the web endpoints to execute a smartObject) is enabled.We can log a feature request for that.But here?s some other security considerations they should make...You should not be exposing all SmartO
Hi all, Would like to check with you all on the list box control. Below is my scenario: During base state, user can select multiple choice from the list box. Throughout all the approval state the list box highlight what had been select by requestor during base state. This is correct. However, when come to view state where the form is completed and for view only. The list box no longer highlight anything. I had check my load method for the view in form view state initializing for so many time. I had map all the output and input correctly as all other field display the correct value except this listbox control. Any idea on this? Thank you.
