Hello K2 Community - We will be implementing K2 4.7 soon and I am working on pulling together our internal K2 governance. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you would be willing to provide. Maybe I am approaching this wrong but I cannot seem to find anything related to this topic online. I guess I am looking for something similar to what you would find with SharePoint (e.g., Site Collection Admin, Site Owner, etc). I see four potential roles:  K2 Infrastructure K2 Application Admin K2 Workflow Admin K2 End user (any other roles?) What are your thoughts? How would you define these different roles and their respective responsiblities? Thank you in advance for your time. Brian

Hi I have console application which uses C# classes generated by "SmartObjects - Services - Tester". I have also two SmartBox SmartObjects: SO1 and SO2. I would like to do something like this: using (var ts = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)){var so1 = new SO1();so1.Test1 = "TEST_1";var z = so1.Create();//throw new ApplicationException("TEST");var so2 = new SO2();so2.Test2 = "TEST_2"var zz = so2.Create();}  But there was no database transaction. I checked it by SQL Profiler. I was trying to create third SmartObject which had method bind to two methods. One from SO1 and one from SO2 and there was still no transaction on database. I checked it by SQL Profiler. (screen1.png) Then I changed SO1 to "Advance SmartObject" and then changed "Transaction" from Continue to Rollback. But when I clicked on finish button there was an error and no message in HostServer logs (screen2.png and screen3.png). Is there any option to enclose two SmartObject methods to one database trans

I'm using the K2 SmarForms Tester to test various form fields. The fields are successfully populated including the people picker.When completing the people picker manually, the name is resolved to that in the active directory by, for eg, pressing enter.In the SmartForms Tester, the people picker is populated with the expected value. The problem is that it isn't resolved to the name. Therefore the field is invalid. I tried adding a step to the test case to fix this but was unsuccessful. How can this be resolved?

Problem ConditionIn the last week of July 7-11 K2 support team upgraded the K2 blackpearl version from 4.6.11 to 4.7 on their development environment.Upgrade of the software version caused the following components to break1.Operation of the form to be opened from another form in Read Only status is not functioning. Error Details1. OperationPackage & Deployment is not able to create a deployment package for this form in “ReadOnly” state. If the state is changed to “Base”, the package is being created successfully. Current StatusThe limitation of a form being opened from another form in “ReadOnly” state still persists.Need to understand why even after choosing readonly in state form is showing error icon. Only if we choose Edit Mode the error is getting resolved. But this is hampering the functionality.What we require from K2 Support team:Need to get solution of implementing the navigating form in read only mode in VERSION 4.7

OK so i'm using version 4.7 and I'm trying to plan for fixing workflow errors should they occur in a production scenario and I've seen the following video that uses the Process Management Tool in Visual Studio to retry workflows with new fixed versions of a workflow: Video: https://help.k2.com/displaycontent.aspx?id=6239Article: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.7/default.htm#2.Create/K2_for_VisualStudio_K2_Studio/1.Elements.K2VS/Process_Management.htm I've also read the following article on the Live Instance Management (LIM) API :https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/devref/4.7/default.htm#Live_Instance_Management.html%3FTocPath%3DRuntime%2520APIs%2520and%2520Services%7CWorkflow%7CWorkflow%2520Management%2520API%7CLive%2520Instance%2520Management%2520(LIM)%7C_____0 I'm wondering why you would go down the LIM route when the Process Management Add-in seems like the quicker option of fixing a problem. Does the Process Management tool use the LIM API behind the

I have created smartfiorm for document library using documnet library smartobject. I have some extra metadata field in document library other than default fields. Using document library smartobject I created one view, same view using in smartform. When I am trying to upload the document using smartform i am getting "Content type not found" error. Even after getting the error document is getting updated in library but metadata is not updating. If I use default SharePoint form then its working fine. Please let me know what may be the issue. Attached is the error screenshot. Also, I found one article in K2 knowledge center which says, we cant use smart forms for document library for upload documents.https://help.k2.com/kb001799  Please let me know any solution. Thanks,Prafull

I am currently facing an issue with the WCF services integration with K2 environment.1. Implemented a logic in WCF for which it requires impersonation of client user credentials. WCF is exposed under WCF endpoint Service object. Service object instance is set to Imperosnation mode.2. Unit testing of WCF code is fine. User credential are correctly passed. But when the service is hosted to IIS the data wasn't getting returned   though (Service object for WCF Sensitive data is set on Impersonate).On further analysis found the below   result:   a. When I debug using service object tester tool, WCF gets the  user identity of client  (authentication type: NTLM).   b. When the same smart object is called through the smartform the Service account identity is passed instead (authentication type: Kerberos). I am wondering what is difference as in both cases same smart object is being used.  The WCF service Anonymous login is Disabled and Windows = Enabled.Need some help from you as running bit o

Hello,In my process I recieve a pdf file via a web service. The file is sent as byte array and I store it in a binary data field. I tried to convert it to a string and send it as the following string : <file><name>some_name.pdf></name><content>string_content</content></file> to the file attachment control that I have on my smartform but it doesn't work. The file is shown as a string and if I click on the control nothing happens.I also tried using the expression Get File From content.What can I do? I know the type (string) of the datafield is the problem.Thank you in advance,VeronikaEdit: I also tried sending an xml field to the file attachment control but no use. Is there a way to convert the string data field to File type before sending it to the File attachment control?

We have created application in K2 designer(K2 for SharePoint Forms & Workflows) Version : 4.4120.8.100 and our company going to upgrade the K2 Blackpearl for SharePoint to version 5.0. I want to know if we port the application package in to new version 5.0 will it work properly?  

So looking to the ProgressBar in CSS and some other nice features, is possible to create a Data Label and feed with an Expresion that could be Text of Concat to parse CSS, JS or HTML. making it literal the code just works and execute in the browser. The only problem is the Format is not pretty and readable... yes our documentation is in OneNote stored in Sharepoint, but wonder if would be possible to have those .CSS Files, .JS Files and .HTML perhaps stored or sitting there somewhere else. this is prior to have in a SQL Database, is just playing in the view to bring those elements to live and be able to read/modify without have to re-open the scramble text. Eventually this could be extended to a images. to make it much more scalable and not just get limited to the pictures that have to be uploaded in the tool. because what if you like to put every single flag of the world. sounds like to many resources for a small .ico image.... Anyhow just wondering if there is some way to render thos

Hi I have a simple K2 smartform which has a number of views. One of these views does some calculation and then triggers a workflow which, among other things, uploads a document to a sharepoint library. In a separate view I have the same list of documents from the library. At the moment I trigger a refresh on the list view as soon as the workflow is instantiated. However, as the workflow has only just kicked off the document has yet to be uploaded and so does not appear. What's the best/simplest way to trigger a refresh on the list view (after the workflow has finished?) so that the new document appears? I've tried using an event 'When workflow is submitted' but this appears not to do anything in my case. Any ideas welcome. Thanks

Hi, 2 quick questions: 1) Anyone know if it's possible to have rounded corners on Text box borders or in fact any control with a border? 2) Is it possible to have a text box border change colour as you hover over it with your mouse? Thanks,

Hi does anyone know if there is an easy way to get a sharepoint item when you have the title and the id but get say version 2 in stead of the latest version? K2 only seems to be able to surface the current version of the item unless there is a config setting of some sort?

Sup everyone, Can we talk about Form access via the GetOrganizationalUnitUsers method? At present i use form security and tend to use GetUsersbygroup to distinguish who should access the form. However, i have an instance, where i need to allow access to any users in an Active Directory OU including any OUs underneath it. Any ideas how i can do this? I've tried using the tester tool and in the GetOrganizationalUnitName putting the path like OU=Mydept, DC=domain, dc=com for example. In the filter i put in the AD Name field, but i'm not getting anything back. Any ideas how to get this working?

Is there any way to allow K2 to search AD for disabled users using the Active Directory Service2 service? 

I am new to K2.  I have a form that pulls in a few items of information from a list but then the end user fills in the rest.  I can get it to send to the next queue in the workflow but when I open up the worklist item, the data from the previous step is not saved.  How/where do I save the data that was in a data label and the data that was provided in the workflow?  Do I need to save it back to the smartobject first and then pull it in again?  How do I do that?  Or do I keep it saved in the workflow?  If so, how do I do that?  The workflow is using a task URL built in K2 Studio.

I am new to K2.  I have a workflow activity that has 2 outcomes, schedule and inquiry.  The inquiry is to open up a comments page.  How do I add a rule to K2 Designer that when the end user selects Inquiry, it opens up the comments page?  Can you design rules based on the outcomes of the workflow?
