Help with building an expression to fill in a data label using K2 automation V5.6

I am busy building a form that will serve as a logbook. there are different users that will use this form. they can pick their names using a control button to populate a data label on the main form with their name. From there I want to populate a data label with a welcome message. This message must also congratulate the user if it is his birthday, or work anniversary. What i have decided to do is use an expression for this data label, using if statements to compare the dates. I have successfully created the if statements, but now I want to add a concatenate function to build the complete welcome message. My problem is, when I add the concat to the front of the if statement, it makes the if statement the first argument of the concat function and I do not know how to add empty cells before the if statement to properly formulate the message. Is it possible, or should I just redo all of the expression and start with the concat function first?

PDF Download Problem

Hellowe have observed very strange behavior with some users. When downloading a PDF document, the downloaded file is not shown in the downloads folder.Only PDFs aren't being downloaded; other file types work fine. The server response has status 200; I see the request in Chrome Developer Tools, which confirms that the server successfully responds to the request. However, the PDF file still doesn't appear in the downloads folder. Other file types, like Word documents, for example, work fine in Chrome. Downloads work for all file types in Edge. For some users, it is a temporary problem and resolves itself after some time, but may appear again, it comes and goes. Problem appears only on K2 Sites.We weren't able to find out what is causing this behavior we fix it by renaming the user profile, Backup Bookmarks (take note of plugins) Close Chrome Rename C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data - BackUp Restart Chrom

K2 for Visual Studio 2019 extension

​@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package.  😁If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" /> Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.SourceCode.Workflow.VisualStudio (2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in.   Thanks.

K2 Five 5.3 - SQL database log file grows and fills up the disk causing other systems to fail

The problem:The K2 database log file grows fast and fills up the partition, causing other systems (that share the same SQL server) to stop working. We have this issue on our DEV environment. Abstract description of our DEV environment:We have separate servers/machines, one for the K2 server and another one for the SQL server.Our setup, is a standalone K2 server (no farm/distributed environment). While reading at the K2 forums, I've stumble some threads suggesting to shrink the log file.Currently the K2 database Recovery model is Full (on DEV environment).(1) What is the correct way/approach/solution to resolve the issue we are facing?(2) If the K2 Server database Recovery model can be switched on Simple (permanently) on our DEV environment, will it be safe? Or the K2 system will misbehave?(3) Deploying our solution on a production environment, how should we handle this?

K2 Database Transaction Log

Good Morning all, I'm having a interesting problem on my K2 SQL DB. The transaction logs are going crazy. I have read some other posts in the help tickets that indicate substantial growth such as 2 or 3 gb but I am seeing 10gb in the last hour. I cannot seem to find a way in which to determine what is causing all of the transaction logs to occur and why they are getting so huge. Can anyone point me in the right direction to either stop this from occuring or to actually see the transaction logs so that I can try and trace what is occuring. Please Note: I am aware of changing the logs to simple and clearing the out. I would like to figure out why they are growing. Thanks for the help! This is one of the best communities I have experienced, so very much appreciate any help possible.Ben

Docker K2 Five and/or Runtime?

I found this 3 year old topic -  But has anyone successfully containerized K2 Five in Docker?I know it requires a GUI installer but it can also run unattended.If we could get K2 Five in a container, then it would make deployments and maintenance much easier.For example 4-5 years from now, we will need to move K2 Five off its server when Windows 2016 goes out of maintenance. If it was a container, we could just re-install the container in Windows 2019 and be on our way.Any info is appreciated.Please share your docker config or compose if you got it working outside of the regular MSI. Thanks.

Custom Service Broker with a lot of DLL files

Hi everyone, I need some independent advice.A developer was given the task to write a custom service broker for K2 Five. I received a set of DLL files, one main DLL and dozens of other DLLs that are related to the frameworks used. If I were to deploy this to K2 Five, it means copying all those DLLs to "C:\Program Files\K2\ServiceBroker". This creates quite a mess of files there, in that directory, where it's not easy to know what's there "by default" by installing K2 and what's added there because of some custom broker. Isn't there some way to avoid this, e.g. having the main custom broker DLL and other related DLLs in some subdirectory?Thanks in advance for the opinions.
