K2 blackpearl

Hello, as I am unable to get K2 to work properly  (having tried to  configure & repair many many times and did try what suggestions I found on this site)  I'm thinking of completely uninstalling K2 and full reinstalling it. Repair did not solve the issues so this seems to be the only option. When I run Configuration analysis, it is all green and good, but I'm not even able to open the designer as I get config.sys errors and this is one of many many issues I ran into. I was able to create a package of the application I created so I assume once I reinstall K2 and if it happens to work, I'll be able to deploy the package and start where I left off? Is there any way to re-setup IIS settings alone as it looks like that is where the problems are (config.sys and IIS settings)? As I mentioned, repaid did not fix it.  ThanksMilan

Hello,I do have a requirement to convert a word docment into smartform with a submit button. Word document has a lot of text, numbers as well as links. It also has formatting like bullets, bold and italic. I am wondering what control  on views will best fullfill the requirements. If I will take a lot of Textarea control, will it have impact on form loading? Thank you!

Hello community. I've changed the cfg file on C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlSetupconfiguration.config. But in the object browser inside VS 2013 it always redirects to another server offline/online. I know it because it redirected to another IP that isn't mine. There's a way to change it via some another cfg file or some parameter in VS 2013? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Regards.

Hi I have a form which is used to start workflow on the Start Activity. The form originator can either save the form and come back later, or submit the form. Both actions have different outcomes. I can specify two outcomes on Start Activity while designing the K2 workflow but how to configure these actions on the form. The Form has two buttons at the bottom:1) Save: This should follow Save outcome from Start activity2) Submit: this should follow submit outcome from Start activity. How to accomplish this please?PS: I am using K2 Designer to build workflow and smartform.  Kind regards 

Hello everybody, I am working to do OutOfOffice using K2 API My Code is the followingWorklistCriteria criteria = new WorklistCriteria();Destinations destination = new Destinations();destination.Add(new Destination(("K2:"+AssignedTo), DestinationType.User)); //e.g. K2:DOMAINUsernameWorkType worktype = new WorkType(AssignedTo, criteria, destination);WorklistShare worklistshare = new WorklistShare();worklistshare.ShareType = ShareType.OOF;worklistshare.WorkTypes.Add(worktype);//Share the worklistktwoWorkflowClientServer.ShareWorkList(worklistshare);//Share the worklist for a managed user//ktwoWorkflowClientServer.ShareWorkList(originator, worklistshare);//When the current user's status is set to OOF the worklist shares defined above will take effectktwoWorkflowClientServer.SetUserStatus(UserStatuses.OOF);return true;  I think this code works fine.

I am creating a workflow to automate purchasing approval requests.The approval process with depend on the value being approved, if the originator's approval limit is lower than purchase value, then it will go to manager for approval, the manager will then approve, but in some cases if even the manager approval limit is still not enough, then it will then go to the manager's manager to approve (until it reaches manager with sufficient approval limit). How do I set up this rule so that K2 knows to keep escalating approval process until a manager with sufficient approval limits approves the purchase?Thanks

Hello, We have a process where the form is routed to approval steps. The approval steps contain a group. All the group members can access the form. Only one member can approve it. The approver can either approve the form via email, worklist on a SharePoint landing page or open the form and click the approve button. When we try to approve the form via SharePoint landing page we are get the following error: "24149 The User properties are not available when the plan option on the activity is set to 'Plan Just Once'." My question is how do you get the user information of the person who approved the form within the workflow? Thank you

Hello guys. I want to know if there's an easy way to change the text generated by the Worklist Task. Or how can I customize that?  Thanks in advance. Here's the item that I want to edit.  Regards.

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.   

In my workflow below, in activity Approval, the Destination is set to:Plan per destination: All at onceCreate a slot for each destinationIf I only have 1 destination user, and it selects Reassign or Approve, the workflow correctly moves to Reassign or Approve.If I have 2 destination users, and both destination users selected Approve, the workflow correctly moves to Approve.But, when there are 2 Destination users (for ex: userA and userB), and userA select “Reassign” and userB select “Approve”, the workflow doesn’t move (userA doesn't go to Reassign (Reassign Approver). Is it possible for userA to go to Reassign (Reassign Approver), and after that when userA Approve, then the workflow move to Approve (Get Next Approver Number) for userA and userB ? Thank you. FieFie

I've searched everywhere for an answer and tried numerous different things but without success so hopefully someone might be able to help. Its already been outlined in a previous Forum post about how to create a single Header View and move it using JScript to appear above Tabs on a  K2 form (http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Building-a-tabbed-form-with-navigation-bar/td-p/83385) I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have multiple Views appear above the Tabs and if yes, could the script be provided?  CheersDan

Hi, We have a client which has put the K2 on a Database with Always on high availibilty groups across 2 servers using active passive infrastructure.For the sake of simplicity, lets call these SQL1 and SQL2.Our primary node is always SQL1. This acts as the “Live replica” and all read-write operations are done on it. SQL2 is just on standby and replicating with SQL1 in real-time. In case something happens to SQL1, a failover is automatically triggered and SQL2 now becomes the primary replica. Once the issue with SQL1 is fixed, we usually fail over manually back to SQL1, bringing SQL2 back as a secondary replica. Is this recommended by K2? Will this cause any issues?  

Hi, I'm trying to change the color and hover color of the the 'arrow' down image in the panel header (collapsible icon). Our users don't notice it so I want to make it more prominient and in our 'hyperlink' color theme of red. I don;t have server access to investigae the style sheets in depth so have to rely on developer tools in explorer and use data labels to apply css to the form itself. However I can not seem to find the CSS for it despite using just about every one shown by developer tools. Does anyone know it, have spent 3 hours on this and time to call it a day lol (if only we had properties in k2 smartforms for the panel header, must add it to my wish list). Thanks Julie (pics attached)  

I have a list created by a smartobject which is integrated with SP on prem. Once an item has been approved, I want t take certain data elements from that smartobject and added it to a SharePoint Calendar. I have no idea where to start for this last part. I am running version 4.7 at the moment and my SP is 2013

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

I have been designing a mobile device tracking application for a few days. There is an object called "BroadbandDevice" with a bunch of properties, only one of them being required. The problem I am having is that when I try to set the value of property "Number" as empty, I get the following error:  

when we try to delete any workflow instance in Management Console, we are getting following error for any of the existing versions/workflows ERROR : The item name must be unique. 'ID' exists in the collection Please advice  

Hi All I have a question regarding the 'Radio Button List' control in SmartForms.On my form I have 2 seperate RB list controls and I need the option that only one value at a time can be selected from the combined controls.Therefore if someone makes a selection in LIST A then LIST B must be cleared and visa versa if LIST B is selected then LIST A should be clearedOn the controls I have a rule on the 'changed' event that does a transfer data to clear the other controlThis works fine but I get a strange behaviour that I have to click twice on the control to make a selection once it has been cleared Can anything be done to stop this? Paul

I am using K2 SmartForms for one our project. Form submits data to K2 Workflow. Workflow does not do any users interaction and runs only few seconds. I need to show result to the user right after workflow completion. So, scenario is:1. User enter data to K2 SmartForm and click submit.2. Workflow processing data and return result.3. User getting pop-up notification window with result message. Can I wait till workflow will be completed and get result from K2 SmartForm?

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

Hi, In certain scenarios, I want to hide multiple contols on a view. Is there a rule to hide multiple controls in one rule? Right now, I am using 'Hide a Control' rule on view. So I have to use 'Hide a Control' rule multiple times to hide multiple controls, and later on I am showing them in different scenarios.   Is there a way to hide/ show multiple controls altogether? 

Hi there.   This should be possible. In K2 studio workflow, can someone help me build a data event that would have a function that would check a string.  If the string contains 8 numerals in a row anywhere in the string, it would extract those 8 numbers to a datafield that i could then use in another part of the workflow such as in a Smart Object method.   If it doesn't contain 8 numerals in a row, it would just continue as normal. Thoughts? rob 

I am trying to display a step progress bar at the top of a form. I'm trying to do it this way to not rely on a broker.The URL of the step bar is here: http://kodhus.com/newsite/step-progress-bar-css-only/It looks simple enough, however, the li:after element does not show. The li:before does show, as the circles have no problem showing, but the line that connects the steps (li:after) does not show.(I made this quick form where I can just paste the compressed HTML and CSS and see it quickly)But it is puzzling that it does not show the line that connects them, even though when examining the developer console, it does not indicate in any way that the element is hidden.Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?
