I am also getting the same:

Error 1 Task ErrorSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Help will be appreciated, thanks.

If I remember correctly, this is a confirmed bug in K2 [blackpearl] with HF2.01 - specific to the Forms Generation Events.  I think it is due to development taking place on a machine other than the HostServer machine.  To get around it, you could create a deployment package and execute that (as per one of the KB articles) on the HostServer machine.

This problem will be fixed in the next release.

If you are building this on one of the Quickstart Training VPCs (or standalone deployment), try rerunning the Forms Generation wizard. 

On the step where you name the first step, go to the far right of the URL textbox.  You should see something resembling PageName.aspx?xSN=SERIAL_NO].   Delete the page name and the SN = Serial number (everything after the last / ).  Click the tNext >>] button and then click Finish. 

For some reason, on the Training VPCs the forms / site for the forms generated pages are not created the first time through the wizard.  We ran into this in a quickstart today and the steps above fixed the issue for everyone. 

Again, this will only work if you have all of your blackpearl components deployed to a single machine (Standalone).

 

Thanx,

Re-running the wizard did the trick, I don't think it's specific to the Training VPC, I am doing the labs on my own VPC, it must be a small problem with the event template.

Yes, I can run the wizard and deploy without any problem in the Training VPC.

It is the first time I heard that I have to deploy all blackpearl components into a single machine(Standalone) in order to let the Form Generate Wizard works. Is it truth? You were told by K2?

It is a bit.....impossible to deploy all components into same machine, including K2 components for Reporting Service+WSS/MOSS+BP in large firm.  

I meant that I've encountered this issue, and the fix I suggested works, when using a Standalone environment (as well as the Training VPCs).  I haven't run into the error when deploying to a distributed environment.

You can install the K2 components however you like and use/deploy with Forms Generation wizard.  I have used Forms Gen in a distributed environment and it worked nicely.  I've also deployed to a Standalone and didn't see the error.  I'm not sure why it shows up some Standalone environments and not others.

Sorry if my reply made it sound like Forms Generation will only work in a Standalone setup...that is definitely not the case.  It will work in any environments supported by the K2 installer. 

HTH,
