Runtime or Workflow logs

HI,I have been working with K2 Custom logging, and for now it works for BlackPearl Server. By example, if a SQL Database is offline, and i use Management to test an SmarObject connected to this database, the error is log into Blackpearl Custom Log (HostServerLOgging.config), but if i try to run the Form, the error is just show in the Client Bronwser. Is there some way to catch runtime or workflow errors into custom log?

External destination users outside of our domain

Hi everyone, I'm still quite new to Blackpearl - I've created workflows, deployed them, installed Blackpearl on servers, upgraded Blackpearl on some servers, all the basics.  Now I'm faced with something that is a bit mind boggling.  We are on a domain, use LDAP and users are authenticated using windows auth - this is the stuff I do not know much about.  One of our workflows now need to be exposed to an external company, they should be able to receive client event notification emails and should also be able to action those items.  The workflow will notify them that they have an item to action, the link would direct them to a page hosted internally (by us), they'd enter a few details, submit and that will then call the K2 API to continue to the next event  How on earth do I go about getting that set up, if it's even possible?  Would I just have to add their domain and LDAP details? Are there any other config file changes involved?  I apologise for my lack of knowledge regarding this but

Clone a Form record

Hi, I have  a from which is used by several users. Users would like to clone(replicate the data) of a form by clicking on a link... I was able to clone entire form -- means pre-populate the data in the new form based on the ID provided by the user. Only issue I have is, I have a section of the form where users can enter multiple rows it is like a list. How can I pre-populate that list with the data from the ID provided by the user???This list is stored in a separate table in the database. Any help would be appreciated! Regards,Bhanu

I wonder how to benchmark speed and performance of BlackPearl, Views, Forms and Workflows....

I like to see if there is a way to use K2 to report SMO performance in Views, Forms and Workflows to determine which is using more Memory/CPU Cycles and potentially affect the performance of the Application and the Server. Perpahs some application to monitor the performance of BlackPearl, Application Pool and the Applications running in order to determin whichone is taking more resources of the sytem. Dino

Approve requests with buttons in emails?

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

Loading approval or reject workflow form

I am trying to modify the sample program which uses workflow to Approve or Reject a form for use in a new form. Is it possible to not get the workflow form, and instead add rules to the form to use new fields at the bottom of the form and then submit an approval? I have looked at the example dated 5/8/2012, but do not understand the example. Thanks!

2 Smartobjects

I posted on this forum before but I don't think I got my point across.  I want to have a form that has two tabs 1 is connected to a report smartobject that will take in information and store in the database. The second tab will also be connected to a separate smartobject that will take in information about an individual  (1 - 4 separate tabs). I am able to get the information to be stored in the SQL database for both smartobjects but when the task is sent to the manager for approval only the information on the first tab(the report) shows and I would like them both to show. I have it set up so the manager can see the item view for the tabs. I made it so the report can have many individuals and the individual can only have one report associated to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Composite Smartobject -> Not able to filter and paging doesn't work

Hello Community, like you can see in the title I have a problem with a Composite SmartObject. The SmartObject is created out of 2 SharePoint Lists and the K2-Designer. It works and I see my entries but I'm not able to set a filter on the ID or a other field and the paging doesn't work too.I see that the View creates a couple of sites but when I click on "Next Page" nothing happens. Does anyone have a Idea what the problem could be? Kind Regards Alexander

Error using Save As PDF during a workflow

I'm trying to create a PDF snapshot in the middle of a workflow (at a midpoint user approval task) rather than the beginning. I'm following the steps in this article: https://help.k2.com/kb001394 All the examples I've found, including this article, seem to assume the Save As PDF is run before the workflow starts. I'm wondering if this is part of my problem. I'm saving the PDF reference as a Form Parameter during a User Task, using the After the Workflow action was submitted event in the Form Rules, Workflow Task state. I execute the Save As PDF control's Save PDF method, then transfer data with the control feeding a Form Parameter called PDF ID. This Parameter is linked to a Data Field in the workflow called PDF ID. But best I can tell this workflow data field always contains "0", it doesn't seem to be getting updated. Will the workflow pick up a change in the Form Parameter within that linked Data Field in the middle of a workflow, or does this only work if the Parameter is set before

For Each Only Processing First record When I add A Filter/Input Mapping

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

How to Prevent Workflow From Halting When Using AD SmartObject

Hello All.  I need some newbie help again. I am working with pulling in records from a table whereby it will use the out of the box AD service types to create AD accounts as well as assign groups. I am trying to figure out how to deal with the innate behavior of Workflows halting immedietely after it fails using the smartobject. For example, below are some snapshots showing in this case my For Each loop processing some records and if I were to use the Ad smart object to create an account and if it already existed it would error and halt. So then I added in calling the GetUserDetails to see if the account is there and try to do some logic to check the length of the email returned and if a value is there I do not need to create the account. However, if the account is not there, it halts immediately. Can someone help direct me to the best approach for exception handling and how to deal with this problem? Thank again for your help!Steve

SmartObjects - Services Tester : "ServiceInstance name already exists"

Good evening, I've been testing how to deploy/test a custom service broker.  While still fumbling around a bit, I seem to have the basics down.  I am confused about 1 thing at this time.  I admit I am ignorant about how the data is stored - my assumption is that it is in a SQL DB since I don't see any registry entries.  When I try to create a Service Instance from the Service Type I just created, I get an error stating that "ServiceInstance name already exists". I am pretty sure I went about adding and deleting types/instances via this UI a few times with no issues and now this is cropping up.  I'd like to inform the DB owner about my issue and direct him where to look and how to clean up my mess.  Is there a particular table where these values are stored, my assumption is that he can just go in there and delete a row or two.  I don't have direct access to their DB's.

Queries on K2 upgrade

Experts, I have few queries. Currently we are in 4.6.6 and planning to upgrade to 4.7.               - We are planning to setup a new servers, instead of using our old servers. I mean we are planning to install a k2 with 4.7 version in new server and then planning to migrate our all applications from our old server to new server. Is it ok if we go live one application one time or we need to go live all the applications at a time?             - And if we are setting up a new servers, can we generate reports on the old data(Data which exists in 4.6.6 version)?  And also please let us know the challenges which we need to be consider. RegardsAmar

Use SharePoint field descriptions in K2 Form

Hi. As mentioned in the title, I have a K2 form with multiple fields comming from SharePoint and I would like to show the descriptions of those fields, similarly to how SharePoint does it, below the field itself. SharePoint fields have a description property and already is storing all the field descriptions so I would prefer to reuse those rather than duplicate them as hardcoded text in the form. Is this supported ootb by K2 Forms? Perhaps there is a control or method I have overlooked. Thanks in advance.

Workflow Error - Send email

Hi there.   So, I'm in the process of shoring up a workflow to automate it's starting.  In the current state, someone clicks a button on a form every hour and then checks the workflow URL to ensure that the workflow runs properly.  99% of the time it runs without a hitch, but the workflow does execute a database stored procedure as part of the flow, and sometimes the stored procedure fails, thus causing the workflow to fail and stop. What I'm thinking would be logical would be a way to have a line rule from the "Execute Stored Procedure" activity to an "Email" activity that would kick off when the workflow errors at that activity.  Otherwise, the other line would take it to the next activity in the flow.   I'm not seeing a way to do that, however.  Does anyone have any ideas?  The K2 documentation on exception rules does not seem super helpful... Thanks, Rob
