After upgrading to version 5.4, there is a need to restart over 500 workflows in K2. Apart from the manual process of doing them one at a time is there any better way of doing it. Is it possible to create a tool for automating this task?
It would be possible to utilize the K2 API to loop through all workflow instances and do a “GOTO Activity → Start” on each one. Would that work or does each workflow have a different idea of what “restart” means?

+1Certainly, my goal is to execute a "GOTO Activity → Start" on every workflow instance. How can I iterate through all workflow instances, and which APIs can I use—SmartObject OData API or Workflow REST API?

If using Odata, you may have to create a SmartObject that surfaces the ‘GotoActivity’ method, this is located at [K2 Management service type > K2 Management service instance > Workflow > Management > ManagementService]
Workflow REST API does not surface this GotoActivity method.
Alternatively, you can use some of the K2 assemblies/dlls:
