K2 blackpearl

I am trying to register the drag-and-drop control from the K2 Martket Place.   I've copied the DragAndDropControl.dll to the Designer and Runtimes bin directory.  I'm trying to register the assembly using this command.  controlutil.exe register -assembly:“C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 SmartForms DesignerBinDragAndDropControl.dll” I get an error saying "The given path's format is not supported".  at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks It appears that I don't have security to do this function.  But the account I'm using is a special account created when the K2 enviornment was built.  (I didn't build the K2 environment.) Has anyone ever seen this message?  And knows what it's telling me?  

Hi, I designed K2 SmartForm where users can enter some data and upload multiple files. I have to send those files to external system. I developed custom Endpoint Assembly and created custom SmartObject with SubmitData method that accepts as parameters fileds from SmartForm. Everything work fine for simple controls like TextBoxes but I also have to send attached files to SubmitData method. I tried to add List<Attachements> parameter to SubmitData method but I could not find a way how to map collection of attachments from SmartForm to that parameter.  I was using list control created base on SmartObject: ID, FileContent to iimplement multiple files upload on the form. Do I have to handle this scenario differently?  Regards,  Oleg

Hello, i'm trying to execute the following line of code on a k2 blackbearl 4.6.11. SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectList oSmOList = serverName.ExecuteList(smartObject)This is executing proberly on the Development machine. But, when attempting to execute the same function on production (which is running k2 blackbearl 4.6.11 as well) it returns System.Exception: Invalid archive type. Any suggestions on why this is happening? Thanks you.

Hi,Does anyone know how to uploat to k2 smartforms large (over 300MB) attachements and save them on shared network drive?I would be gratefull for any hints because i cannot find solution to this one.I'm affraid that saving bigger files using standard way would slow down server too much GreetingsWojtek Franczyk

Me, again. Looking around, I see plenty of references to doing this in Sharepoint, but we don't have K2 integrated with Sharepoint. I'd love to be able to use workflow to move a file from one network location folder to another. So, for example, if a file gets dropped into Folder A, as part of the workflow I'd like it to be moved to Folder B.   It seems as though this should be possible ... but I'm not imagining how to do it. Thoughts on the hypothetical? Rob   

Hi all, Anyone else have any problems installing the May update? When trying to update, it fails on this error: 1:0: ExecuteSqlScript.Execute: >> Logged Error: Script execute failed: System.Exception: Script execution exception: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 'TRY_CONVERT' is not a recognized built-in function name. 1:0: Component.ExecuteTarget: >> Logged Error: Target did not complete successfully: DataPatches693317 + 693502.sql Any ideas?

I am tryng to create a nested if statement for a form that will allow me to have a top level IF statment with a bunch of sub level IF statements within it. For example: IF(viewcontrol = 0){    IF(param = "a")    {        Do Something    }    ELSE IF (param = "b")    {       Do Something    }    ELSE IF (param = "c")    {       Do Something    }} That is what i am trying to achieve but the best I can do is something like this:IF (viewcontrol = 0)  AND IF (param = "a"){     Do Something}IF (viewcontrol = 0)  AND IF (param = "b"){     Do Something}IF (viewcontrol = 0)  AND IF (param = "c"){     Do Something} Is it possible to create a nested if like the first example i have listed?

I would like the drop down to have a static value as the first choice and then populate the rest of the drop down dynamically from a smart object.   Ex. first entry is Other Check Number followed by all Check Numbers associated with a specific sub-account

Hi, Just curious, is there a specific way to backup the K2 DB (on local Server K2 DB) using SQL Management Studio, if so what are the steps and what options should be ticked? I am about to install a Fixpack and just want an extra safety net (already have other safety nets), but backing up the DB locally is something i wanna try as well. A step by step guide to create the backup via SQL Management Studio and which options to tick would be great. Thanks

 Has anyone found a clever way (via javascript etc) of hiding the approval actions from the drop down options selector on the Worklist webpart? We show users their list of tasks to action but we want them 'Always' to open the form to view it first before selecting 'approval etc' but users keep accidentally selecting the approval options from the dropdown 'before' opening the form and that closes the worklist item and so thisis causing a major issue in us being able to use tasks inside a workflow. I have out the webpart into a view so that I can customise it but there are no options for deselcting these options :-(      

1.Is it possible to show files that are stored file system on Windows on Smartform using "Content" control?2. Is it possible to store attachment files in a directory on file syste? Requirement is, scanned PDFs will be stored on a windows server. I need to show them on Smartform. Another requirement is, user will attach file on Smartform and they should be saved in file system in same directory.Thanks

Hi, I'm not able tp deregister a customk control.This solution http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Cannot-de-register-custom-control/m-p/70494#M20215 does not work for me. The designer website appears the message: "Could not load file or assembly 'LHTabControl' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." The deregister command does not work with this message:DeregisterControlType Failed: ControlTypeHasInstances,MyCustomControlProjectAGSystem.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): ControlTypeHasInstances,MyCustomControlProjectAG   at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPIConnection.RemoteCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList, MarshalMessageType CallType)   at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPI.RemoteSessionCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList)   at SourceCode.Forms.Management.FormsManager.DoSessionCall(String method, Object[] parameters, Boolean[] nullList

Hello Community, I have a problem with a E-Mail event and the following error message"The specified string is not in the form required for a subject". The error occures when the users use a line break in the textfield for the Subject of the E-Mail. Is there a way to delete those line breaks for the E-Mail subject?In the form the line breaks are okay but for the E-Mail Subject it's bad. I know there are a couple of solutions in the forum but those doesn't solved my problem. Thank you for your help in advanced. Kind regardsAlexander 

Hi all,I created a workflow using k2 designer, and the workflow so far starts by a button click on the form. I need to schedule the workflow to run couple times a day, everyday without the button click. Is there a way to do it either using k2 designer or k2 studio? Thank your for your help.

I've got a Boolean that when true I want to update the Folio, but I can't seem to get the conversion right. In 4.7 I was able to use an "IF" condition within the context browser which doesn't seem available in 5+. This works in SQL, but not within the context browser. I'm assuming its because the Boolean conversion. select replace(replace(recommendChangeOfRank, '1', 'Promotion'), '0', 'No Promotion')from <table> Essentially if my boolean is 1 I want to append Promotion to the Folio else No Promotion. Any ideas? I've tried the following with different conversion attempts for the change of rank boolean return. (Note in the To String within the first replace I have another string for False) Some I have just place "True" "False" in the Find others have converted to string.  Thanks,

Hello Friends, I have a scenario, where in a workflow we have client events CA, CB, CC which will be assigned to users UA, UB, UCNow we have a particular User  SU, who should be able to access all above mentioned tasks and he should be able to perform action too.. Could you please let me know how we can achieve this with out adding SU as destination user to CA, CB, CC.  

Hi there.  I'm wondering when installing CU's do I need to stop traffic to the server to keep end users from using K2 in the given environment.  I have been doing that to be on the safe side, but I'm questioning now whether or not it's necessary.  We use K2 pretty much 24/7 as we have night shift folks as well as day shift, so installing a CU and getting everyone off the server is kind of a hassle.  It seems to deploy just like a package, and I've never had any issues with deploying packages when folks are in the environment. Thoughts? Rob  

I'm getting a bit desperated.Recently, there has been an issue with Smart Object List methods over and over again. Affected are only smart objects that have a decimal field and only the list methods. After restarting the K2 service, the error is gone. After some time, however, the error occurs again. I can not detect any errors in the logs and can not recognize the cause. Has this error ever occurred to someone?We are using version 4.7 with the latest fix pack. The attached hardcopy shows the error message when trying to execute the list method by smart object tester.The error message below occurs by the smartforms: Type: System.FormatException Source: mscorlib Method Base Member Type: Method Name: StringToNumber Module Scope Name: CommonLanguageRuntimeLibrary Declaring Type Full Name: System.Number Stack Trace: at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)at System.Nu

I am getting the 'SmartObject property ID is a required property for selected method Load. Value must be set.' error message. I have a form with two views which are sharing a smartbox object.  I want the first view to update details about a course change (entered by an instructor), and I then have a task sent to records mgmt to open the smartbox item and update some 'Office Use' fields on the same smartbox object.  I am using buttons to action the form, since I have multiple fields in the office use view I need updated. I am getting the error after opening the task for review. My workflow appears to work (in general), since I can still confirm or deny the request on the second view. I cannot find where I need to update to pass the ID to the workflow to open the second view without getting this error.  Any help? I will try and include screen shots. Thanks! 

In my quest to give the best user experience, a thought occured to me regarding Approvals... At the moment, I use offline approval for forms which require authorisation.The Authorisers get an email, which they reply with the word approve or decline for example. While this works great and does the job, I was wondering if there was any way of replacing that Approve / Decline with Buttons inside the email, is this even possible? I know you can use an alternate way of approving requests via a Link to the workitem, then approve it, but that to me is more time consuming and a 2-step process. In an ideal world, I'v want buttons in a email which the user clicks and that acts as a reply to the email and send the word "Approved" to pass back to K2 andcloses the email as well..... I know you can have voting buttons in Outlook, but was wondering if that could be done within the body of the email.....Can you use HTML/Javascript to create buttons within the email message? Is this possible, or pie in

I know forms can do tabs at the top, but there seems to be no option for tabbing things in the middle of a view, so I made a tab menu through a data label.However when I click one of the tabs I want it to click an invisible button (since I figured it would be easier than figuring out how to launch a rule directly)These are the JS commands I have tested but the button is never clicked:$( '[name="ButtonName'"] ').click();document.getElementById("ButtonName").click(); var dsmButton = document.getElementById("ButtonName");dsmButton.click(); Neither of those examples worked for clicking the button, and I am not sure why.The html in the data label renders fine and just to test it I did a document.write("test");and that worked, so I know the script is executing. Does anyone know how to trigger a button click through js?

i was having this error on k2workflow "SmartObject Property ID is a required property for selected method Execute", the worflow was build in K2 studio.please kindly help with thisthanks

Hi, what exactly does the parameter "Database Maximum Decimal Value"?In which cases the parameter has to be adjusted? Andi

 When the user of a form completes a form, we would like to send the user a link to the form he has just submitted. Can we do this with K2 Designer 4.7 outside of using the workflow?  We can imbed a hyperlink to a form using HTML, but I do not see where we have Sequence_ID to specify the form the user filled out.  Is there anything in context browser to build a link? We do not use K2 Studio, and we do not use the workflow currently.  If this is possible, I would need some steps to follow. Thanks!
