K2 blackpearl

We got the requirement of migrating SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016 where the existing application is having around 15 workflows build on K2 (version 4.5). As a part of migration we migrate the content from 2010 to 2013 and 2013 to 2016. We are totally new to K2.Is it possible to migrate from 4.5 to 4.7 by maintaining the workflow instance state? If yes, what is the procedure.

A smartform is used to capture multiple approvers in a SP list column let's call it "Approvers". When workflow is  kicked off, destination users in a client activity should be set to users in Approvers column. This worked fine in SharePoint designer but not working in K2 Studio.... So I tried to create a data field in workflow in format domain-nameuserID1; domain-nameuserID2; domain-nameuserID3. I was able to create this variable but when I assigned this variable to destination user, worklist didn't get assigned. It looks like K2 studio doesn't like multiple users in one single line. I even hardcoded above strings in designer, it didn't work either. If I specify then in different lines, worklists get assigned. Since number of approvers are not fixed, assigning on separate lines is not an option. Please see attached.Any ideas how I can set multiple destination users in K2 studio?Thanks

I have a simple workflow (Built in the designer V4.7) which at the moment is either an Approval or Reject outcome. I want to add an other outcome to the workflow - Timed Out. Can any body advise what is the best way to do this.   

Hi All. I was hoping someone can help me understand what I am missing here in terms of how the For Each works in Studio. I have attached a document to help visualize and tell my story. I am pulling the records in using the table_id field as my index/reference and only wanting to process the PENDING status records. For each record it then calls the same table list passing in the table_id to return all the other field values, calls the AD smart object to create the Active Directory records with the fields, then sets the STATUS to COMPLETED. It only runs though for the first record. If I remove the filter/input mapping of PENDING it will process all the records as I would expect it too. What am I missing here? Thanks, Steve

Hey Folks! We had a very disturbing issue on our Production server which killed our business systems for a fixed interval everyday. Business was unable to compile thier work during this time and every user was complaining. The Server CPU utilization would spike to 80% and more and remain constant the entire interval of almost an hour. We investigatied on what was causing all this by using performance monitors and SQL Profilers . And finally the culprit was a group policy which would clear the cache and browsing history on every users machine exactly at a ascheduled time, which would trigger enourmous number of request on the DB Servers for SharePoint and K2 applications. This in turn choked the servers CPU utilization. Thanks 

Hi all, I am trying to use the users in an activegroup to become the dropdown values in a dropdown column.  I have achieved this using the 'getusersbygroup' method on an active directory smartobject as the data source. However, our organisation permissions sites and assigns actions via an AD 'Organisational Role' group as opposed to the direct individual user AD account.  For example we assign a task to an 'IT Manager AD Group'.  Inside this group we place the inidivdual user account of the person currently in this role.  The reason for doing this makes it fluid to manage permissions when individuals move departments or new employees start, in that the tasks are automatically assigned to the new person in the IT Manager role without any manual intervention of reassigning tasks to individuals. Issue:When I use the 'getusersbygroup' method on my drop down it will only return 'individuals inside the group and not any of the 'oganisational role sub groups' that we have put inside the main

Hi, I have a list displaying attached files, but the filenames are tiny. So you would think that i could go into the column and change the BODY font of my choosing, but alas it is Greyed out? Why can't the font be changed on a File column? Thanks

 Hi all,I know we are in 2017 :) but I'm recently working for an organization that likes things old school and so they still use K2 .NET 2003.Now they finally want to upgrade from K2 .NET 2003 to K2 Blackpearl. And now they want to go all the way...to Blackpearl 4.7.I know its a stretch but is there any tool or way to migrate/convert (totally or partially) the K2 .NET 2003 processes into K2 Blackpearl processes? And how about migrating all process instances that exist in the K2 .NET 2003 database so that they can go into the K2 Blackpearl database? For historic purposes of course. Thanks in advance...     

Has anyone found a way to reuse styling on a label or data label or any other control for that matter? If I have 30 fields with 30 labels I need click the style button and adjust the formatting for each label/control individually.  The only solution I've been able to come up with is to make the labels a literal and make the text something like <span class="labelClass">Label Name</span>. Any ideas are appreciated? 

So i have a JS via datalabel: var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset(); Then i write it into my textbox:document.getElementById('000000*personal details removed*0000_59e39e2b-5feb-87d4-ab3e-525f96384c6f').innerHTML=offsetname; I can see the value successfully in the textbox. Then i created a rule like - if textbox is changed show me message. But i never see the message. It works only if i change textbox value manually. So the question is - how can i transfer a string variable generated on client-side into server-side?

I have a requirement where users submit support tickets via email (helpdesk@abcde.com). Is there a way K2 can get that information and create a new item in smart object?

Hi.   I am trying to deploy a workflow done in the web-based designer by someone else on my team.  I can see it in K2 Designer, but it does not show up in Package/Deploy tool. I went ahead and re-deployed it as me, just to be on the safe side.  Doesn't seem to help.  Thoughts?  It's a simple workflow.  I can re-create it, but would rather not if I can help it. Rob 

Hi. Does anyone have a strategy for deleting the temporary files in the AppData-folder? We've currently passed 5GB, and the folder was emptied out a little over a year ago.I'm pretty confident deleting the files doesn't cause any harm, but does anyone have any input on this? Thanks

Hi, I am using worklist control in my form to follow the work processes in case of forms.  And i want to customize this control. It has a default format that allows to right click, select next step in the list directly, open form or view flow.  But, i need to disable that submenu. Instead of that, when i double clicked on a work, it must be open the form directly. And the user must see the form before approved certainly. The thing that i wanted is a simple difference. But designer doesn't allow to change. Can i edit this situation somehow?Is that possible?Thanks

Hi,I am trying to use the Process schedules from management portal to trigger my workflow. So, when i schedule it to run, it runs perfectly and showed it as success but i dont see it is starting any new instance. What i could be missing in here?

Hi, I have 2 workflows on a SharePoint list. 1 workflow is set to fire when an item is created and 1 workflow is set to fire when a list item is updated. However, the 'updated' workflow is also firing when an item is first created.  Is this expected behavoir or should it only fire when an actual update has been made to the original item? I have checked the rules on the form to ensure that when it is creating the original item it isn;t doing it in staggered steps that could be construed as an 'add' and simultaneous edit' I am using K2 5, any ideas?  Thanks.

Hello.   First of all, I would like to say how much I have appreciated the support of this community over the last year in our K2 implementation.  The advice I've received here has been invaluable.   So, here's my next question: I have a simple workflow that fires off a stored procedure in my database which basically runs a query to pull in data fro a specific report.  I want the stored procedure to hit around 2:00am PST when no one is working.  Because the end result of the stored procedure running is about 2500 new records in a specified table with a specified date stamp, it's pretty obvious when it runs and when it doesn't.  So, I created this workflow, and then ran the scheduler to tell it to run.   I am attaching a couple of screenshots...one of the schedule and one of the report that says it's run at least 7 times.   So, in the morning when I go and look at the database table that SHOULD be populated with new records...there are none. HOWEVER...when I then go into the K2 Manageme

When I select "View Flow" from an instance I get directed to "https://forms.usd.edu/ViewFlow/ViewFlow.aspx?ProcessID=186" I need to get directed to "https://workspace.usd.edu/ViewFlow/ViewFlow.aspx?ProcessID=186" It looks like its configured to do this within the Environment, but I'm still getting directed to "forms" rather then "workspace". I have also found this article, but it doesn't give a specific "web.config" to edit. As there are a few of them within the server. Any ideas? Thanks,
