Nintex Automation K2

When making a request to Jira I need to pass a token generated by OpenAM in a cookie. I tried to pass it into header, but apparantly K2's HttpHeader Smart Object  ignores parameter named 'Cookie'. { "$type": "SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common.HttpHeader[], SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", "$values": [ { "$type": "SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common.HttpHeader, SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", "Name": "Cookie", "Value": "iPlanetDirectoryPro=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcwDu2SHOsUhCCJuMz0juXhBryDpNw8Ba1U.*AAJTSQACMDEAAlNLABQtNDQ5NzI1NjY5Mjg3NjA4MDE3MA..*" }, { "$type": "SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common.HttpHeader, SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.Endpoints.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", "Name": "content-type", "Value": "application/json"

Hi, Anyone implemented a way to save a form as the user goes along, then allowing them to save it and then pick-up filling it in later? If so, is there any way to manage this so drafts don't just sit around in the system if unfilled etc?Also, is there a way of allocating security, so that only that user can open the draft and continue? Thanks

Hello, I am getting the following error while deploying a workflow; 1 Error(s)(Process) 'Process Process Instances' SmartObject already exists.System Name: System Name;Guid on Server: Guid;Guid trying to be publish with: Another GuidUse the 'Synchronize' button in the 'SmartObject Associations Properties Wizard' of the Process Designer to resolve this conflict.0 Warnings(s) 

Hi, We have a workflow where a task can be completed from a Smartform or a SmartAction and we need to know where the source of a completed action was from. We need to report back on which functionality is more widely used. Are there any existing reports that I can use? Thanks in advance

We are using K2 5.2 with SharePoint Online and see no means to select a theme.  We'd actually like to establish one of the out of the box themes (probably Lithium or SharePoint 2013) as an initial standard default for all forms, then worry about tweaking the branding later. Right now, the only option in the Style properties is (Custom), which shall we say leaves too much latitude to form creators naive to UI best practices.   I've been through all the corners of the designer and management apps that I could discover and found no option to apply themes to the forms, nor to enforce a default--which is what I really want to do. What am I missing in my efforts to have our spanking new Smartforms NOT  look like ransom notes?  ;) Thanks.Bob

Hello,  B4 k2 Five we were using No Distianation plan slot to start a multiple chil Prcoess parallel. No this is no more in k2 Five . So my query is how we can start Parallel Sub Process in k2 Five.  One way we have k2 Five loop control in this we can loop this and then start the process but what is the blocker here this will start one by one I mean loop will start the child process and wait to complete then go in to loop again. we dont need this . We need to start child process parallel as it was in 4.7 Any idea ? 

Anyone had this before? Its preventing forms from loading: Hostlogs saying 10702 An error occurred in the ADService2 Service Instance. K2 Service and IIS restarted, makes no difference.Also refreshed the adservice just in case, still a problem Any ideas?

Hi, Our K2 environment appears to be defaulted to use standard HTTP Protocol. We are looking into exposing K2 Data via Power BI and further down the line utilise the K2 Workspace Mobile App. In both instances I understand HTTPS protocol must be used. How does one configure K2 to use HTTPS rather than HTTP? Side note:I'm having an issue trying to use the K2 Process Analytics PowerBI connector (https://help.k2.com/powerbipreviewcontentpack). Nothing happens when I click sign in, I believe this could be as my SmartObject OData URL is HTTP and not HTTPS. I'm hoping correctly configuring K2 to use the HTTPS protocol will resolve this. Thanks

Hi All, When actioning a task using the action bar on the bottom of the workspace the form disappears with the fade type of action so that the task is no longer active on the page. When I custmize a form to show the smartform with the worklist item on the bottom of the form that functionality no longer works. How do I create a rule or something that will remove the form from the workspace inbox list when the user submits it? Right now they have to click off that form onto another one and refresh the inbox.

Is there documentation / examples available for the following (from a Citizen Developer POV): Note:  Invocation desired from client browser using javascript / jQuery / ajax  off of a standard SharePoint Site Page (wiki page) using a button. Simple way to validate K2 REST API is active and available? REST API invocation of a Manual Workflow w/no Parameters (for SharePoint if that matters)? REST API invociation of Manual Workflow w/parameters or init form gather info from end user?Thanx!!

I have upgraded the K2 4.7 to 5.0, everything working fine. I am facing the issue while deploying the Workflow from K2 Designer only, Error : Receiving Buffer:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. please help me to solve this issue, i have reconfigure the k2, everything looks good but issue still exist.  

Has anyone developed or come up with a way to send a basic http post using k2 workflow? The difficulty I have is the url I want to send a post to is inside my network and so ms flow doesn't recognize the url and fails. I was hoping that since k2 is setup inside my network I can somehow send a simple http post to a url and possible accept a get. It would be awesome to have a service that did this natively so that I can integrate k2 with a rabbitmq server. Any ideas? Thanks,Ben

I developed a K2 Smartform/Views solution which is using Smart Object created in SharePoint 2010 version. I dont have development or test envrionment and I have production only  copy of this solution. After SharePoint upgrade to 2013 I could not figure out how to connect my exisiting solution to new SP 2013 list Smart object as updating smart object in views was breaking functionality.  I created new Smart Objects based out of SP 2013 list and updated methods of 2010 Smart Objects to point to SP 2013 service. So technically my Smart Objects are still based out of SP 2010 but interacting with SP 2013 because I tweaked methods to connect to 2013 service. Admin team did not removed SP 2010 web application yet but eventually they have to.  My question is - Will removing SharePoint 2010 will automatically break my SP 2010 based Smart Objects even though they are consuming 2013 services? Any suggestion how can I connect my views to 2013 smart object without breaking functionality would be hi

I have a listview that triggers certain logic for the events a) when list item is added and b) when list item is changed in a listview. I would like to call the same rule also when a user goes into the add/edit mode in a list item but either hits enter without changing values, or presses the ESC keyboard button. Is this possible?

Is there a way to pull all the information shown in a worklist, but limit so the end user cannot action the task from the worklist? If they action from the worklist it skips all the form rules, so I want to avioid this possibility. 

Hello, We are using strict validation in autocomplete control. Whenever something is added to this field, it shows a standard message: "Item cannot resolve".Can we change this message? Thank you.

When you create a table in a view you get a chance to format it right away. If you ever click of the initial table screen it is nearly impossible to get back to be able to format the entire table. Does anyone have a trick to get back to this? Sometimes if I click just right and the moon and stars are in allignment I can do it. There must be something I am missing.  Very frustrating an not a good use of time.    

Hi,We are developing a solution in K2 to email different users based on their group they are assigned to. We have a one to many relationship with 1 group can have many users in the database. We are trying to use the tree control to allow us to select either the entire group(s) or individuals from different groups. We have noticed when selecting all the users in one group (whether its 2 or 10) it will also append the group ID to the value. So it will look like the following:1,Email1,Email2What we want is the value to look like: Email1,Email2,Email3This will allow us to transfer the value into an email field and use it to send emails. Can anyone suggest anything that will remove the parent Group ID from the value or an alternitive solution for listing values based off what groups have been selected? Thanks,Martin

Is there an OOB SmartObject available to show the count of total tasks assigned to a specific user?  Ideally it would allow input or filter properties for a specific Process Name.  I need to be able to display this on a form without first loading the Worklist Control. 

Is it possible to combine / integrate the SharePoint Standard EditForm.aspx with the K2 Five Workflow Task Action screen/form? I am rebuilding a site that was migrated from a standard Sharepoint 2013 Site into a SharePoint 2016 collection with K2 Five ... I was hoping to use the K2 Five Workflow / Task engine for process while utilizing the current SharePoint Forms until such time as the forms can be redesigned / deployed into K2. I am hoping for a configuration such as attached ... If I use the "Custom Form", the Worklist Web Part will link to the standard SharePoint Form; however, the Save/Cancel action from the form does not return back to the Worklist. It would be great if the Standard SP Form could work like the SmartForm from inside the Task Action page... Thanx!

K2 Five 5.2 Workflow Infinite Loop:  Workflow Update List Item Step with Event: An item was updated Question: Why does the K2 Five Workflow Engine create an infinite loop with the Workflow Step of *Update List Item* with an Event of *An item was updated*? A basic rule-of-thumb.... A workflow should not be able to trigger/envoke itself?   The Standard SharePoint (2010 / 2013) Workflows / Triggers do not cause infinite looping (that's not to say that in the wayback-machine SharePoint Workflows didn't have their own set of issues ... and even different issues today). The workaround I have been using is to set a Start Condition of   ** if originator Display Name  <> PK2ESvc ** The workflow will trigger the first time due to the Origination being the person on the end of keyboard and any subsequent re-triggering from inside use of the *Update List Item* is NOT originated by the end user. Is there intent to ( fix / correct ?? ) this infinte loop condition in near future releases? Thanx

Hi, I am intrigued to know what experiences other people on the community have had with the K2 Workspace app on mobile devices (K2 Five 5.3).  Having read through the guide, it looks straightforward in the steps to enable. We are looking into the feasibility of having one of the workflows available through a tablet. Has anyone got any experiences with using mobile on K2 Five. For example, did you have to amend any of your forms, Was the Lithium theme fine? Did you have amend the underlying theme in any way? I've read through the guides, just think it would be beneficial to hear about any real-life 'case-studies' before proceeding. ThanksConrad

Hi All,I'm trying to figure out what is the correct order , when installing a new K2 Five server with an existing database, where  the K2 DB contains CUs and fix packs that had been applied in a pervious installation. Can I do like this article suggest  https://help.k2.com/kb001356 and after that simply install  the CUs and fixpacks on the new server? Our maybe first I can install a new server with a new temporary database and apply the updates to make it to the same version level, and than swap the database?
