PRODUCT: K2 Five 5.0, K2 Five (5.0) September 2018 Cumulative Update

BASED ON: K2 Five 5.0

 

The K2 Five (5.0) September 2018 Cumulative Update contains updates and fixes for issues reported in K2 Five. K2 recommends keeping your K2 environment updated by installing the latest cumulative update, and that you test this update before you deploy to a production environment.
 

Prerequisites and Dependencies

This cumulative update is only compatible with K2 Five. Each new cumulative update contains the updates and fixes that were included with the previous cumulative updates. The cumulative update does not require any previous cumulative updates or fixes to be installed, and no additional cumulative update is required to fully update a K2 environment. If you have installed individual hotfixes included in this cumulative update, those hotfixes are not changed unless a newer version of the hotfix is available for the update.

Before you install this cumulative update, please check the K2 Product Releases and Build Numbers article to verify that this is the latest cumulative update available and that you have a current backup of your K2 database.

SmartObject system names were generated incorrectly in K2 4.7. This was fixed in K2 Five, however existing SmartObjects were presented with an error message to delete the existing SmartObjects. With this fix both older system names and new system names are now supported

When you install a Fix Pack on a cluster / distributed environment, the installation completes successfully on the first server node. However, when you install the second server node, the installer fails with an error in the Install log files.
