Hi

 

I have installed VS2015 on a client machine and then installed K2 BlackPearl 4.6.11 client tools onto same.

All seemed to go as planned... however:

When conneting to the dev server the server cannot be found.

When connecting to the pre-prod server the server can be found, and package and deployment works, but when using the K2 Object browser to list Smart Objects I am getting a connection error 'the target machine actively refused it'.

The K2 Service Object Designer is not present in VS.

 

The client and servers are all in the same domain.

 

Any thoughts on what to investigate?

 

Thanks in advance

This "the target machine actively refused it" error is usually thrown when:


 


1.  The K2 Blackpearl server service is not running


* if the server uses a "Developer" type licence, it will need to run in Console Mode (will not be able to start in service mode)

2.  Perhaps there is a firewall issue, that is blocking the connection between the K2 for Visual Studio and the server in question


* Usually ports that will need to be open are default 5555, 5252
