Hello

 

We have written a custom DLL in C# that uses entity framework for databse queries.

The issue faced is when using the dll after registering as a service broker and creating it's smartobject.

We get an error tat says "Connection string cannot be found". This is despite the fact that the strings are in the k2hostserverconfig file.

 

Thanks

 

Hi  @sirjoe;

 

Please note that I'm following recent opened ticket, it's still under investigations regarding similar(related) issue and i will revert back to you with proper workarounds.

Follow up with this k2 documentation for other relevant information http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/devref/5.2/default.htm#Concepts/AuthConnectStrngs.htm%3FTocPath%3DConcepts%2520and%2520Development%2520Techniques%7CAuthentication%2520and%2520Connection%2520Strings%7C_____0

 

From my expertise I think this should be resolved at custom third parties integration application,

Thanks Widson.

I hope to hear from you.

Hi  @sirjoe;

 

I'm still in the lookup, however it's clear that the problem is that the app is looking for the connection string in its app.config rather than the .dll config

Usually this issue is caused when configuration entries for Client Tools and Authoring APIs were migrated from .NET machine.config files to the individual application's config files.

 

Kindly find attached document that will assist you reconfiguring(rechecking)  log files as a step troubleshooting your situtation.

 

Will revert back ASAP
