Hi When my form is converted to a PDF, it adds a blank page at the end.  It's a small form and all the content is shown on the first page.  Any ideas on how I can remove this blank page?

We are migrating our on-prem K2 servers (Blackpearl) to an AWS Amazon Managed Services (AMS) data center. What options are available for continuously updating the new destination K2 database (the migrated K2 proprietary SQL Server database) with source (on-prem) SQL Server K2 database, transactions from the time period between the new PROD destination environment being restored (and reconfigured), through the crossover to the new PROD go-live environment in AWS? Are there existing continuous replication utilities available? AWS has an 'Ongoing Replication' product for AWS RDS SQL Server databases using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) described here: Introducing Ongoing Replication from Amazon RDS for SQL Server Using AWS Database Migration Service ...  .....Has anyone used this tool or others like it?

I need to connect ASP.Net Core application to K2 Blackpearl. I tried the nuget package K2.Workflow.Client but it throws a BadImage error. It seems the package works with .Net but not .Net Core. Could I know if there is an equivalent package for .Net Core.

Hello, currently we have a K2 workflow that is currently emailing the results from the workflow.  We would like to disable that portion of the code and rather than email creates a flat file with the same results and place it on the network share drive.   Any help would be greatly appricated. 

Hi, When I attempt to open "View Flow" link from "Management Console > Workflow Server > Workflows > Reports > View Flow" The URL I get redirected to is below which works.https://forms.usd.edu/Designer/K2Workflow/Viewflow.aspx?procInstId=932 I can take that URL and replace the ending number with that pulled from the first URL to get the ViewFlow to work. I'm assuming I have a configuration somewhere incorrect, but can't be sure where it is. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

HI,I am creating an endpoint service broker using VS2010 to integrate with the Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect with the Smartform using the Smartobject. When I try to build a project, I am getting the following error.

While having an issue where one user couldn't see workflow tasks, I followed the steps in the forum post:User unable to see worklist tasks   This required adding the domain or everyone into the security settings of our environment.  After rebooting the server, I no longer have access to the environment page and all users are reporting errors.  I'd like to undo the settings to see if this would correct the issue, but I can't figure how to get to that setting to change it.

Hi,       we have a project for which we have 2 servers, Dev and Prod. Dev is the server where we change or implement new features, fix issues and test. and Prod is the current runnning production server. so now we need to implement all the changes on Production server from Development Server. i would like to know the best approach to perform this.  FYI: we do not use sharepoint or asp.net. we are using only K2 Studio to develop the worlflows and K2 designer to design the forms. and right now, on dev we have changes in both Workflows as well as SmartForms along with some additional SMOs. Thanks!

Originator has left our organization. There are several workflow instances that were originated by him. Upon final approval, workflow sends email to originator. For this, I am using "Originator E-mail" from Workflow Context. Since originator is gone, this step will fail as email address is invalid. Is there any way we can change "Originator E-mail" to a valid email address so workflow doesn't abort? Thanks

Is there a table I can query or I can see the latest fix pack level in front end? We are on 4.7.Thanks

This is driving me nuts. I cannot drag and drop anything from Context Brower. All I see a list of users. I want to be able to remove permissions dynamically. Help document clearly says, you can do it.https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/K2ForSharePoint/UserGuide/4.7/default.htm#Thin_Client_Wizards/Documents_Wizards/Remove_Doc_Perm/Remove_Doc_Perm.htm Please see attached. What I am missing? Or this is a bug?

Is there no way to use validation around a rule completely? In the below ruleset I would like to check validation first then complete every step thereafter. I can't seem to add the validation step around all of the listed rules unless I add multiple validation steps. I figured I could just run one validation up top to check before running then user "Stop rule execution", but there is also no option for "If the Form fails validation".  Is there anything that can be done other then adding in multiple validation steps? Thanks,  

I like to start using Third Party Authentication using Twilio SMS to cellphone or email. This will gave the opportunity of provide one more layer of security prior to authenticate with just a simple user/password.  When user submit user/passowrd redirect to another page expecting the PIN or Token or whatever you want to call it... which was sent vis SMS to the stored cellphone number or email. then once entered goes directly the de desired page. If for some reason more than 5 or 10 minutes pass. perhaps that is not a valid or expire another request need to be sent. good thing is all the login attempts are stored for reporting. I saw Twilio have some nice interface, but wondering if somebody in the K2 community have some other suggestions/alternatives ? Happy Friday !!! 

Hello! I'm in need of some help/advise.  I want to translate existing English built forms/view/workflows into 4 languages (Malay, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese). Is using the K2 Language Pack, the control set, the appropriate way to go about this translation? In the K2 tutorials, under the Language Pack section, under considerations, I'm seeing this bullet item: If a multi-language Form is required, the Form and the Form Views must be designed in one language then copied and modified for each of the other languages you wish to support. Direct the user to the Form in the user’s language choice. During installation of the K2 Language Pack, select all the required languages to ensure that the required resource files are installed for the languages you wish to support.  Can someone please translate this to layman terms?Would it be better to design the forms from scratch using this control set or can the control set be added later and what would that require? Thank yo

K2 4.7 We setup a smartobject to integrate with a REST endpoint (e.g https://api-qa.company.com/v1/api/account/1234) using a JSON Swagger/Open API definition using steps similar to the ones listed here.  Everything works fine in QA/UAt and we would like to deploy this into Production. But the REST endpoints are hard-wired to point to the QA server. We can setup a new Smartobject pointing to Production but that seems sub-optimal. Instead, is there a way to have some sort of environment variable/string table entry that determines which server to point to (api.company.com instead of api-qa.company.com in this example) Any ideas appreciated. Thanks
