Hi Connecting a K2 4.7 instance to a new SP2016 farm, and got this message coming up:Error retrieving the K2 Signing Certificate. Verify that [K2_SIGNING_CERTIFICATE_PRIVATE] is correctly configured. It happened very early in the run of AppDeployment.exe, where it was trying to validate the K2 URL by downloading https://k2prod.com/autodiscover/api/metadatadocument/test. In fact, if I try that manually, I get the same message (if I watch through Fiddler).  A similar mesage also appears in the logs files:2025 Error Marshalling SourceCode.Security.UserCertificate.UserCertificateManagementServer.GetK2SigningCertificate, Error retrieving the K2 Signing Certificate. Verify that [K2_SIGNING_CERTIFICATE_PRIVATE] is correctly configured. I have checked in the Host Configuration database and an entry for [K2_SIGNING_CERTIFICATE_PRIVATE] does exist.  I have compared it to my Dev server, wehich doe not have the problem, iand it all looks similar. I have rerun the configuration checker and that com

Hi, I need to create comments on a form that will be passed to the new workflow started. I've created a smartObject to save comments on a form. I've used the FQN and the currentDate to make them unique. I've been able to create comments on the workflow when first step of a workflow opens my form, but unfortunatelly this doesn't solve my problem, because comments can't be created if that workflow goes to different steps without opening the form. It has also another problem, comments won't be created at the same moment that were created on the form. I've tried to create a composite smartObject to get the specifics comments of my form and create them on the workflow but I don't know the reason why it is not working. Please, could you give me any key to solve this problem? I will need to do this with attachments too Thanks a lot 

Hi everyonei have problem with Creating PDF from smartform .i build service and the service create the PDF after the manger Approv , but it gave me this errorMessage: Failed to convert HTML to PDF.; ServiceName: PDFConverterService; ServiceGuid: 99ae73bf-b5df-44dd-932e-615bb343585b; InnerExceptionMessage: ; Message: Failed to convert URL to PDF.; ServiceName: PDFConverterService; ServiceGuid: 99ae73bf-b5df-44dd-932e-615bb343585b; InnerExceptionMessage: ; Message: Conversion error: WebKit Navigation timeout.; ServiceName: PDFConverterService; ServiceGuid: 99ae73bf-b5df-44dd-932e-615bb343585b; InnerExceptionMessageand if i restart the K2 service and go to the workspace and do retry it works finefor sure i do not want to do restart for the service every day because it may effect the server and if i use this solution i have to restart the service every day.

Hi all, I design a workflow using K2 desginer for Visual Studio.Then I create an ASP.NET page to execute the workflow using API/Services. In workflow activities, there are client event and smartobject (insert, update, etc). SmartObjects are used to insert/update data to my own database.  in Activity one, there are client event and then SmartObject event. User input some information to create an Event Header, and SmartObject event is triggered to save data to my own database. then the workflow is started and proceeded to next acitivity Create Item. This work well, but workitem serial number is not saved correctly. Refer to the image in attached file K2Event.png So I move the SmartObject event to the second activity, before the client event. Now correct serial number is save, but there is anohter problem, the subsequent client event is not triggered. please refer to the image in attached file K2Event_error.png Is there any restriction that SmartObject  could be placed before Client Event

I am currently using the out of the box K2 AD SmartObject to create AD accounts but need to update a field that does not exist as part of it. I found this link: http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Dynamic-Active-Directory-Service/ba-p/869# and tried implementing it but am getting errors and just cant get it to work. I am assuming its older and we are new with K2 (4.16060.2000.0 (4.7). Has anyone successfully done this and can share how/what is needed to be done? I am assuming some extensive coding is involved. I am not a big coder so any help would be great.  Thanks.   

I have a very lengthy expression which I need to duplicate and then make subtle changes to its copy.  Is there a way to duplicate expressions?

Hi, Is this possible to call Unix script from K2 workflow? 

Does anyone know when or if K2 plans to rewrite the portal and view to longer use silverlight?

We have an Intructor SQL table which we can use to return a Student ID, for students in the class.  We join the instructors with the class to return Student ID.  We need to list the Student ID and Student Names, (Name is on a separate table).  How can we create a list view with Student ID's and Student Names for selection?

i have 1 Smartbox smartobject. i created 3 different views  from same smartobject (views have different columns on it). i created a form using these 3 views and form level submit button to save data to the smartbox db. up to now it works fine. i created a workflow which starts when a submit button is clicked in the form. In the workflow i have a usertask action. i used this form to show up. When i get an email from K2 with link, i get error "smartobject property ID is required property for selected method load. value must be set" when i clicked that link. I am doing something wrong. i do not have complicated rules. Only rule is in button submit which save data from different views in a form to same smart object. Isn't this possible? if possible, how i can make it work.. please help me!!

Hi all, I currently have an Editable List View which allows users to have several rows into a list. When the rules save the results, it saves each ROW as a NEW record in the smartobject. How can I make all the list items save under just ONE record, rather than save each row as a new entry? Reason i ask is i want to then in my workflow pull all the records into one big MEMO field Possible?

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. Is anyone using K2 with FIM Groups? We cannot get FIM Groups to work with our K2 implementation. Thank you in advance for your time. Brian

I need to build following condition in Workflow Step OutcomesTitle = 'Amt' And (Amount < 5 OR Amount = 10)*** Value of Title must be "Amt" for this condition to be true It seems K2 is only allowing me toTitle = 'Amt' And Amount < 5 OR Amount = 10So even though Title is not "Amt", but Amount is less than 5 or equal to 10, condition is resolving to true. How to implement a condition like Title = 'Amt' And (Amount < 5 OR Amount = 10)? I took a very simple scenario. My requirement is much complex with many OR conditions. Thanks!

Noticed in our DEV/TEST/PROD environments the IIS Worker Process make the CPU go really high... and cause Black Pearl Designer quick working. I try to perform and iisreset /noforce but no luck...still CPU really high until BlackPearl is restarted. I wonder if somebody have experience the same issue and have some suggestions on how to monitor the threshold to make sure K2 BlackPearl is up & running as stable as possible. THX Dino.

Im attempting to use an unbound rule in a Smart Form to save a snapshot of the form as a PDF, and email a copy and save a copy in a SharePoint library. I can accomplish both however I want to make whether or not the PDF is saved contingent on an advanced condition. I attempted to put the advanced condition in each state of the form but I have an else that prevents me from getting the ID properly in the sequence which results in empy smart objects. I am attempting to use an unbound rule that doesnt present that issue but it appears that an advanced condition in an unbound rule that is fired using the Execute Another Rule..rule doesnt fire. If I disable the advanced condition it works but not selectively.  

does k2 integrate with db2databse with service broker

When I create a new K2 application from a SharePoint list, K2 creates a New, Edit, Display view and forms. When I go and edit the New view, I don't want to do the exact same thing in the Edit view.  How do I eliminate this duplicate work?  I believe it is in the 'When the Form is Initializing' rule.  Can someone send me screenshots how to do this? Thanks!

I would like to setup profile maintenance with AD security groups and not individual usersIn the K2 Homepagehttp://k2/Runtime/Runtime/Form/K2ANZ.Framework.Dashboard/Profile MaintenanceI would like to create an Admin profile and assign the K2 Admins we have.  i am unable to search for groups, as it only lets me add individual usersis there a way to fix this?

I am not sure if this is a bug or just happening on my side. I have 2 worklists in a form. Both with custom filters. When I load the form, both looks same. No filter is working. OR the same filter is being applied to both even though it was configured differently.Please Help!!

We are using K2 Blackpearl in Azure, so during times we don't want to pay for the server we like to shutdown the server. We have a script to do this, but we started noticing the Server was having issues like emails were not going out, logging event were not being written or a lot of The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized, and Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Stop/Start K2 Blackpearl server service or sometime iisreset would help. What is the proper way to shutdown the server? Should any services be stopped prior to the shutdown. Thanks for your response!  

  K2 BlackPearl 4.7 actually offers the ability to install into an azure VM which means that you can have the power of K2 blackpearl in a fully cloud environment.     This is really cool. conceivable can use the installation DB to host the Data, however what if the solution to make it very very very scalable use some NoSQL backend for data storage.     Does somebody know about some NoSQL Service Broker that could allow BlackPearl on the cloud connect to it ?     I also wonder if the authentication could be Open to the Internet, and also wondering how will be the cost for licensing and let do some custom develpment externally... all this with the acomodate big big IDEAS =)     Dino.
