Hi VA1

If I understand your question correctly, you have custom ASP.NET pages that interact with a Workflow created in K2 for Visual Studio.

The legacy Workflow will continue to work if you upgrade to K2 Five, but as you said, there will come a time when legacy support will be removed.

With K2 Five you still have the ability to interact with SmartObjects via the SmartObject OData service and Interact with Workflows (Legacy and HTML5) via the Workflow REST service.

See the following documentation for more info: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.2/default.htm#K2-Management-Site/Integration/APIs.htm

Hi VA1

So you want to interact between your custom ASP pages and Smartforms?

If you have data you need to pass into a SmartForm, you can make use of Form parameters

Then when accessing the Smartform you can pass parameters in the URL.

e.g. https://[K2URL]/Runtime/Runtime/Form/TestForm/?Parameter1=1&Parameter2=test&Parameter3=True

To start/action workflow you should be able to use the Workflow REST API

Hi VA1

In that case you will need to make use of the Workflow REST API.

In you workflow you can add Process Data Fields. These Data Fields can then be used in line rules, action, etc.

When calling the Workflow REST API, within the JSON data you can specify the Workflow Data Fields.

Example:

In the workflow you have a Data Field called UseLineRule (type number)

In your workflow  you have two lines,  Line1 with a If UseLineRule = 1 Line Rule, Line2 with a If UseLineRule = 2 Line Rule

When calling the Workflow REST API, you pass a UseLineRule = 2 within the JSON.

{
  "folio": "REST Test",
  "expectedDuration": 86400,
  "priority": 1,
  "dataFields": {
    "UseLineRule": 2
  }
}

This will set the Parameter in the Workflow to 2 and cause Line2 to be followed. 

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Can someone give a sample code block or any blog which shows how to connect asp.net forms with K2 five workflows.

Any information would be really helpful.

thanks.

For ASP.NET connect to K2 Five workflow, you have 2 options

1. Reference dll like you do in K2 blackpearl. K2 Five and K2 blackpearl use the same class and method. You just need to rebuild to make sure it'll work.

2. Using REST API. Sample in this link https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/DevRef/5.3/default.htm#Runtime/WF-REST-API/Workflow-REST-API-Samples.htm%3FTocPath%3DRuntime%2520APIs%2520and%2520Services%7CWorkflow%7CWorkflow%2520REST%2520API%7CWorkflow%2520REST%2520API%2520Samples%7C_____0
