 Symptoms Trying to execute an UPDATE for a SmartObject that uses the SQL Server Broker to update two tables in the database throws the following error exception:?10702 An error occurred in SQL service instance. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.?Both tables use GUIDs as the primary key, and have the same name (culumnID). So the SmartObject combines 2 table updates in a single SmartObject method. Diagnoses A composite SmartObject method for CRUD. All works except UPDATE. If you use the SmartObject Update method to update only one of the tables, it works fine. The Create and Read methods also works fine, even if both tables are being used. Resolution This is a known issue.A workaround is to execute the UPDATE method on the respective SmartObjects in lieu of the UPDATE method for the composite SmartObject. 

 Symptoms Getting an ?access denies exception ? you do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource? when trying to execute a Create Folder method against a document library using the SharePoint Content Service.Correlating error entries from the hostserver log:The file name you specified could not be used.

 Symptoms I have a custom security (SSO) provider that I have created for Lotus Notes. I?ve got the security provider code created, credentials cached in Workspace, and it is selected as the SSO provider for our Endpoint Broker. However, I keep receiving a 401 - Unauthorized from the web service endpoint.This broker works properly if I switch from SSO to Static authentication and manually enter the username/password. But as soon as I try to switch to my SSO provider, it does not authenticate. If do *not* store my cached credentials in Workspace, the SMO tester also does not prompt me for a username/password. Diagnoses When registering a web server service instance, using a custom security provider, it?s required to field in the user name and password information of an impersonating account in the service instance configuration. In other words, an account information that can authenticate against the web service endpoint(this can also be the cached account information). Resolution Execu

 Symptoms Users cannot start workflow, getting access denied when rights assigned via 'Everyone Except External' Diagnoses Everyone Except External object is not supported yet. Resolution Rather used "Everyone" instead 

 Symptoms Workflows Do Not Assign Tasks Anymore Diagnoses Picker used as Destination from Item Ref returns empty (an activity with a client event should at least have one destination) (SharePoint Integration Helper Methods andgt Get K2 FQN for SharePoint users) Resolution This is a bug and we created a codefix for this, the fix will ship in Appit 1.5 Update early next year. This issue might be in Blackpearl 4.7 as well (not confirmed) if so please contact support. 

 Symptoms Cannot Package Solution: Validation Errors (about 50 of them). Diagnoses References cannot resolve.Form is referencing the 'Control with Guid: 'SAMPLE GUID' and Name: 'SAMPLE NAME' property on the 'MyForm' Form that could not be found.The issue preventing PandampD to continue for the form is due to missing instance ID?s for controls in the expression ?MYExpression?. The analyzer is currently not showing these controls in error, and removing and re-adding these controls appears to resolve the issue. We can look at implementing changes to ensure these controls are validated correctly. Resolution This is a bug in the ALM framework and ALM should have surfaced and flagged the expression to help the end user find the issue. This will be fixed in the near future in the product.To resolve this, remap the controls in the expression.  

 Symptoms Workflow Deploys but after +- 15 minutes error is thrown, looks like a timeout al though the deployment in the back ground succeeded Diagnoses We can confirm that the exception is caused due to Azure connections timing out after 4 minutes and we can't change that.We have logged a bug and will be making one of the following two solutions.1. We want to implement more efficient error handling to explain to the client the Azure connection timed out, but the Workflow could still have deployed successfully (Which is confirmed it does).2. The preferred solution would be to limit the time we have connections open between browser and IIS Service by making multiple calls to see if the deployment is still busy or not. Resolution bugs have been logged to implement one of the changes mentioned in the diagnosis, for the time being even if the timeout occurs the deployment is already send to the K2 Server and will complete. 

 Symptoms  How to terminate existing workflow running on one particular item  Diagnoses  NA  Resolution The only way to stop a workflow is through K2 Management > Workflow Server andgt Workflows > Your Workflow name. This will list the instances from which you can select and stop them. To identify the particular one you want to stop you need to know the Folio or process instance ID. To get this info will depend on the solution design, If you used something specific in the folio to identify it you can use that, the alternative is you need to view the ViewFlow of the instance against the List item and note the URL ProcessID. I also logged a feature request for the ability to Manage a specific items instances from the context menu > K2 Workflow > workflow History page.   

 Symptoms We are facing extreme slowness in our test environment in both workflows and smart forms. The activities that used to complete in 5 minutes are taking more than an hour now.We have checked the server resources on both K2 server and the database and they are looking normal, Also the connection between the K2 server and the database is normal.There is an UAT expected to begin a couple of days but the environment is not usable for this. Please provide your usual support on this. Diagnoses During the investigation it was found the there was a running process when setting the status to 4 issue was resolved after doing a k2 service restart Resolution During the investigation it was found the there was a running process when setting the status to 4 issue was resolved after doing a k2 service restart 

I am having the same issue as in this thread  https://community.nintex.com/message/9326?commentID=9326#comment-9326This is in a three-server development farm.  I'm testing before upgrading production.  In addition to the database server, the farm is a Central Admin server that is not running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service, and a web front-end that is running the Workflow Timer Service.  I am running the installation on the Central Admin server.  Current Nintex Version 3.0.7.0SP Version 15.0.4849.1000  Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL 2012.Running NintexWorkflow2016.exe, the installation completes without errors.  However, in Central Admin, the Nintex Workflow Management section looks like this:If you click on the top link, you get"Something went wrong" The file '/_admin/NintexWorkflow/Management.aspx' does not exist. So I followed the steps in the post above ( a "Correct Answer"), retracted all the Solutions using PowerShell.  All solutions now show as "Not Deployed/

Hi everyone!I have a 'Request Review' action in my workflow and... maybe you know this problem (?) when I write something into the task description and edit it (colours, font,..) the text that displays later in the workflow looks nothing like that..That's why I clicked 'edit source' and typed in the html directly, I thought maybe it will look as I want to to then.Now I get an error when opening the task.Is this a known issue? I posted the code into a online html "tester" to see the result and it looks perfectly fine..Thanks in advance!(Nintex 2013)

Hi, Can multiple file attachments in K2 notification email for SmartActions? Attachment file will be stored in SQL database. The number of files will be dynamic and different for different request form. The idea is to allow approver to approve or reject without logging in the K2 smartforms and email should contain Form soft copy and Form's attachments (multiple). I found how to attach K2 SmartForms as part of the email (http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2smartforms/userguide/1.0.4/webframe.html#pdf_control.html).  

Hi!I'm trying to do what I feel should be a simple thing, but in all of my searches and testing, I can't figure it out.I'm creating a new AD user with Nintex Workflow, and that's simple enough ... but... this user also needs an expiry date associated with their AD account. I need for the inputting user to say "The User's name is Bob Smith and the Expiry Date is jan-21-2025" or whatever and have it set that.I see the field name should be accountExpires .. but I don't see it as an option of something to set via Nintex.Am I missing something?Thanks for any assistance you can offer!Cheers,Rhia

Hi forum, First, if you see this question duplicated please remove or merge it, because I can't see my post in the forum from some minutes now. Ok, so, I'm performing an installation. K2 will be integrated with Sharepoint 365. I have installed K2 and the service is up. I can see and work in Designer and Workspace inside the server, no problem. I require that this services are available form internet, so people can work remotely. I have donfigured the DNS for the server and I can ping it without trouble, but when I try to access the Designer URL, i get a "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials." Am I missing some configuration in IIS or somewhere else? Thanks in advance PS. Later, I'll use the DNS to configure Sharepoint 365

Symptoms  I am receiving and error when trying to deploy a package to my Development environment. The error is as follows: Could not publish SmartObject Definition to server: Authorization Failed. SmartObject: [Smartobject Name] System.Exception: Could not publish SmartObject Definition to server: Authorization Failed. SmartObject: [Smartobject Name]  Diagnoses  This issue is related to not having sufficient SmartObject rights in workspace.  Resolution To change these rights Navigate to Workspace > Management Console > Smartobjects > Security. You may also want to check the SmartBox security as well. Please make sure that the account that is doing the deployment has Publish SmartObject and Delete SmartObject rights on the Development Server. http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Cannot-deploy-SmartObject/td-p/32689  

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, on premise with Nintex Workflow 2013.We have a workflow on a list, that sometimes hangs on wait events. Users do not really know that the workflow has stopped, and continue editing the item properties until it is complete. The user does not know that the workflow is completed, and one of the last steps of the workflow is to declare the item as a record.I need to be able to loop through all the items in the list, find those that are completed (a specific field will have one of two values), and check to see if a specific workflow is either still running (hung waiting for a change that has already occurred) or errored. When I identify an item that meets these conditions, I need to kill the specified workflow if it is running, and declare the item as a record.Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Hi!I have implemented the following workflow in a sharepoint library:How to Move Documents Including Versions in SharePoint 2010 Document Library Using NINTEX Workflow And i works fine, its is moving the documents to an archive. Now i want to do the same from the archive to the document library, if the users regret their archiving. I thought I would just have to change 2 parameters and everything would be fine.But the new workflow is not working, it runs through all the activities without no errors, but it is just not moving the document. I have written the different variables to the workflow history list and everything looks fine!Any ideas anyone? :-)Jan

Hello,I'm new to Nintex and would like to know how to use the validation required option of a field.There I can choose validation required between "yes", "no" or "expression". I think if I use the option "expression" I have to write an expression into that offered field. And now if that expression is evaluated to true the validation would be processed otherwise the validation would not be processed.Is my opinion correct?What I want to get working is the following . In a from a field is a dropdown list. The user has to select one enty if he has set another field - in my case this is an radio button with two options eg. "type1" and "type2" - to "type1". If that radio button is set to "type2" the validation of the dropdown list is not necessary and the value can be ignored.Thanks in advance for your help.
