Hello,We've deployed our solution without problems but when we try to open the first task appears this error message.  If we deploy our workflows again, the error dissapears but workflows are not working properly. The second task, from another workflow, fails and appears this error message: No Service Instance definition : Service Instance : [BPM_SQL]. Service Object : [dbo-Factura]. Method : [] Could anybody help us, please?ThanksRegards,Virginia  

Hi, Is there an option in k2 to read an excel from Folder path and save the data present in excel into the database?This functionality should be executed from the Workflow, not from the UI.   

We have encountered an issue while testing a parallel flow. When parallel flow is already started and the main flow of the application encounters an error, the parallel flow activity also expires and the user cannot execute it anymore. The bug here is that the parallel flow activity should still be available even if there is an error from the main flow.This incorrect behaviour is due to the workflow level exception rule in where we perform “GotoActivity” by sending “expire all” parameter as true. As per the documentation we found for K2, if we send false instead of true, only the current activity will be expired instead of all the activities.                          ServerEvent.GotoActivity(eventName, False);However, when we tried after setting the parameter as false, we found that only current activity was expired and parallel flow was still active but the main flow of the application proceeded further even though it should have stopped there. Can someone please help us in finding a

Hi,we are trying to change service account using k2 setup manager wizard.in our envr, there're two servers. we stopped the  k2 service on the 1st server,  no txn is to the 2nd server, but k2 service is not stopped on the 2nd server.  upon the setup manager finished, we found the newly added app pool (integrated mode) is stopped in in IIS application pools, we can mannually start it up, but upon refresh, it become stopped again.  But the k2 service is able to startup using the new service account.  howerver all our website using the service account are not able to load. furthermore we discovered we cannot even create a new app pool  in the IIS application pools manually. we hit the error " there are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. (Exception from HRESULT:0x800706D9)". but prior to run the setup mgr, we are able to. the other server is also able to create new app pool manually. we encountered this issue when we tried to change service account (both acc are in the sa

Are there other ways to export workflows other than downloading an .exe that then extracts the files? The reason I ask, is that we're unable to extract the files from the .exe (extracting the files generates a CloudStrike warning and stops the extract). So we're looking for another way to extract the files. Ideally, I'd like to script the export with PowerShell if possible, but using the UI is fine if that's the only option. Thanks

Hi, I'm using Get List Item Reference component to retrieve all data from SharePoint list and created a reference at output mappings.  But since SharePoint list has duplicate entries, we've duplicate values in the created reference.  We need to remove duplicate entries/values from the reference or we need unique values from the reference in the workflow itself. Is there any OOTB feature or workarounds available? 

Im attempting to create a process that after filling in a smart form from an initial client event, will create a series of client events with essentially the same data only with different due dates for completion. It will use recurring reference data and have some fields necessary for completion of that particular task.  So essentially a loop that once a person starts the process via smart form, it creates say 5 tasks all due at intervals in the future. The date calculations are easy I just cant get the process to behave correctly. Any ideas? Thanks Dave

Hi,I'm working on a project where the workflow needs to assign task to any user in a particular group. What are the differnt ways in which this can be done.  

Hi All, We are in the process of changing our SmartObjects and Workflows to be 5.X compliant.  We currently use SharePont SmartObjects under the SharePoint Services V2 Service Object Intance.  From what I understand, this service object instance is being depreicated in version 5.x...  We are dealing with that...  I also understand that SharePoint Integration and SharePoint Events are changing.  Currently, we use a lot of the SharePoint Events in our workflows.  I also understand, that these are going away, but functionality will be avialable with SmartObject calls.   Will we have to change our WorkFlows when we upgrade to K2 5.x ?? Thanks in advance,Dean

I know that K2 4.7 can use SSRS to export report,  we plan to propose K2 Five + SSRS but I found that SSRS not finalized yet in K2 Five from https://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix#SQLServer.  Can I develop in K2 4.7 with SSRS and package and deploy the whole solution to K2 Five? Or who can tell me another method？ Thanks very much.

Hello,  I am trying to create a reference to a smart object in a smart form. Currently i only have one entry in the smart object, so the ID reference is just 1. I am wanting the smart object to be updated regularly by others and then displaying this information into the smart form, so they can see the information before submitting a request. My main issue is that i can not figure out how to make the ID reference to be the most recent update to the smart object (e.g. if i had updated the smart object 3 times the refernece would be 3).  Is there any way for me to be able to do this? Would greatly appreciate any assistance.  Thanks!

I have created a K2 application from a SharePoint Online list.  The application includes smart objects, views. forms, and workflows.  I have configured the workflow to be triggered when an item is added, changed, or deleted.  From within the workflow, is there a way to know which event triggered it?  I would like to use this information to build an email message to the user to indicate if a new item was added or changed, or deleted.

Hi, the message is displayed, but the navigate to URL rule does not workWhy? 

Even though Microsoft's Mainstream Support End date is 10/9/2018, many enterprises have extended support policy till 10/10/2023. K2 releases will drop support for Microsoft products that are no longer available for standard support by Microsoft.Was there an incompatibilty that 5.3 had to drop support for Windows 2012 R2?We only upgrade to this a few years ago because it has been out for a while with enough fix packs to guarantee stability. No good reason why 5.3 wouldn't work on 2012 R2.   It's an incremental patch not a 6.0 major product release.

Hello, I have two smartobject actions in my workflow 1. Stop inherting permissions on document by ID method2.  Delete unique permissions from document by ID  method  Step 1 works fine and breaks inhertiance bewteen the library and the document but step 2 does not delete the unique permissions left after step 1, I am assuming step 2 should ideally delete all the permissions on the document because after inhertiance is brokern all permissions are unique. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

Greetings! For some time now, I have been trying to find a way to list SmartObject items in a workflow email. I've found an easy way to call Get List and iterate through the return in an email step using the Join function and some HTML! The Join function in the context browser allows you to concatenate a Get List result with a seperator. If you include the <br /> HTML tag as your seperator, each list item will print on a new line in the email! I was happy to discover this and plan to use it in several places across our K2 Applications. Hopefully this is helpful to someone else out there! Example configuration: ~ Andrew
